Processor I/O Reference
This section discusses the M-Series Processor I/O scheme. Refer to this section for all specifications when wiring your
inputs and outputs into the Processor.
Note: Your M-Series Processor does not provide a voltage source for
inputs and outputs – it must be provided by an external source. Refer to
the module tables below for more voltage requirement information.
Note: The Trigger Signal and Strobe Output for M-Series cameras are
separate and not part of the M-Series Processor inputs and outputs. See
M-Series Cameras on page 3-1for details.
Processor I/O Connection
To connect M-Series processor input and output signals use cable 606-0675-xx (37 pin D-sub Male to Male Cable) with
terminal block 661-0403. (For other terminal blocks, see “Processor Input/Output (Older Terminal Blocks)” on page 6-
24.)
Processor Inputs
The M-Series Processors contain sixteen general-purpose input connections.
Two inputs serve as both event and polled inputs (Inputs 1 and 2). The remaining inputs are polled. The event inputs are
interrupt-driven which means that a change of state on the input will immediately cause an action and any inspection task
that uses that input will run. Polled input means that the input’s status is checked based on conditions defined in the
inspection task.
