Four points that define this configuration
Each point is tied to published model data or an explicit engineering verification step.
Onboard field I/O
Digital inputs: 8 channels, including 2 high-speed counting inputs · Relay outputs: 4 channels · Transistor outputs: 4 channels, including 2 high-speed pulse outputs
Fast and analogue functions
Match counting, pulse, temperature and analogue requirements to the published option set.
Connectivity and expansion
Plan communications and plug-in expansion before finalising the bill of materials.
System architecture
Separate the interface, main I/O and expansion
This prevents optional functions from being mistaken for hardware fitted to the main unit.
