Types of I/O cards on functional Modules

Input/Output (I/O) Cards connect the Functional Modules to external systems

and networks. The I/O Cards are housed behind the Backplane, opposite the

Functional Modules.

The I/O Cards, which are small and simple, are installed via the rear panel of

the MGC+. A connector at the rear of each I/O card connects the card to the

Backplane.

The following I/O cards can be installed on functional cards of the MCU:
