GPI Inputs; The sixteen general purpose inputs may be activated either by pulling the input to ground or releasing the input to a high state. A valid input must be greater than 15ms in duration. External sources can be contact closures, open collectors or 5 to 24 volt logic level sources. Input impedance is 22K ohms (contact current per input 0.250 ma at 5 volts DC).
GPI Indicators; Sixteen green LEDs indicating when an input is on or off. When the LED is illuminated, the input is grounded.
Input Interfacing; 18-position plug-in euroblock screw terminals. Plug supplied.
