Output Signals
The sixteen digital outputs (1 - 16) share a common, low side (sinking) driver IC. The driver is
designed to supply any kind of load with one side connected to 10 to 30 VDC. The driver does not
include short-circuit protection and the user must take care to prevent shorts. An overload may
damage the driver circuit. Internal “fly-wheel” diodes are included for driving inductive loads.
The VDD power pin must be connected when driving inductive loads.
The outputs are accessed through a direct connection to the 50-pin connector, or through the
optional terminal block.
