Diagnostic Module Features
Diagnostic modules provide additional reporting information to the controller, 
such as a timestamp of the time a module fault occurs or clears, no load detection, 
and pulse tests. The table lists the available diagnostic digital I/O modules.
Diagnostic Input 
Module Compatibility
When designing systems with ControlLogix diagnostic input modules, consider 
these factors:
• Voltage necessary for your application
• Current leakage
• Whether you need a solid state device
• Whether your application should use sinking or sourcing wiring
