welding timer, and is not intended for general use.
In addition to the above units, the I/O Plus “Generic Driver” also opens up the
possibility to use other digital I/O units that conform with the DeviceNet specification.

configuration of the second channel is automatic if you have I/O Plus.
I/O Plus also opens up the DeviceNet Slave functionality, which allow the S4Cplus
controller to act as a slave unit towards another DeviceNet master, the configuration
data for the slave unit is included.
