I/O Module
The I/O module (Fig. 3-5) contains the I/O processing cir-
cuitry. The circuitry consists of multiple printed circuit boards
that perform signal conditioning and processing dependent on
I/O type. An onboard processor performs engineering units
conversion, online diagnostics, and Hnet communications
interface. Power conversion functions are also provided. Front
panel LEDs provide power and digital I/O status indications.
The block packaging provides access to configuration jumpers
on the circuit boards as required by removing the side of the
I/O module (Fig. 3-6). A retractable handle facilitates the
installation and removal of the I/O module.
