The IO Connector
A
Physical Connector
The IO connector provides the interface to a single digital output and a single digital input. A diagram for the connector complete with a pinout table is provided below.

1Common Ground
2Positive Connection for DC Power Input or Output:
Electrically in parallel with the derived DC power for the unit, this pin may be used as a
| power input or output. As a power input it can be used for remote applications to supply the | 1 |

Digital Output
The supported transistor output can drive a maximum load of 24V DC at 100mA directly, and by connecting additional relay circuitry, it can drive even heavier loads.
Using the Administration Tools, you must first enable IO Status in the Layout Settings for the Digital Output ON/OFF buttons to be displayed in the product Home Page. The status of the Digital Output is then controlled by simply clicking these buttons.
