I/O Connections
The actual input connections are located on a twelve-position removable screw terminal
connector located at the bottom of the module. Input wires should enter from either the
top or bottom wiring troughs, and should come from the left side of the rack (by
convention).
The inputs are labeled IN1, IN2, IN3, and so forth. Each pair of inputs is followed by a
connection labeled RET for the input signal return, resulting in a sequence of IN1, IN2,
RET, IN3, IN4, RET, and so on. For any given input, you should use the closest return
terminal either before or after that input—the next return terminal goes with the next two
inputs, and so on.
The twelve-position connector allows for eight inputs and four signal returns.
The diagram below indicates where each input number is located in the terminal block.
