4.1 Digital Input/Output Modules
4.1.1 ADAM-5050 16-ch Universal Digital I/O Module
The ADAM-5050 features sixteen digital input/output channels. Each channel can
be independently configured to be an input or an output channel by the setting of
its DIP switch. The digital outputs are open collector transistor switches that can be
controlled from the ADAM-5000. The switches can also be used to control solid-state
relays, which in turn can control heaters, pumps and power equipment. The ADAM-
5000 can use the module’s digital inputs to determine the state of limit or safety switches,
or to receive remote digital signals.

Warning! A channel may be destroyed if it is subjected to an input signal while it is
configured to be an output channel.
