Processor Outputs
The M-Series Processors contain sixteen general-purpose output connections.
The table below describes the output’s electrical characteristics.
Note: An external power source is required to power an output load. The outputs are merely switches that are open or
closed. All output connections must use properly grounded and shielded cable.
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 3-1 for details.
Pullup Jumpers to Enable Sourcing
Jumpers JP1 through JP16 enable and disable the connection between their respective Output and the “Outputs Sourcing
Pullups VCC” signal on the terminal block. If a jumper is in the Enable position, the Sourcing VCC is connected to the
Output and it provides a sourcing signal (it is normally low and goes high when On). If a jumper is in the Disable position,
the Output provides a sinking signal (normally high and goes low when On). The Discrete Output tool in the vision pro-
gram must be programmed to provide the desired output level. Refer to Discrete Output tool in the Impact Reference
Guide (843-0093).
Note: With the sourcing pullup jumper enabled, the maximum current per output is 15 Milliamperes.
