Digital Inputs—Contact Closure
The digital contact closure input (Figure 3.9, top) provides an input for use with any relay contact switch. DIO 1 through
DIO 4 are optically isolated. DIO 5 and DIO 6 (Figure 3.9, bottom) are non-isolated. To congure a contact closure using
the Scanner 3100 web interface, choose Contact Closure as the input type and select a trigger state to indicate whether
the pulse will trigger when the signal is high or when it is low.
Note Digital input/output common (COM) connections are not interchangeable. The COM connection located between
DIO 3 and DIO 4 terminals cannot be used with DIO 5 and DIO 6 wiring and vice versa. The COM connections
between DIO 3 and DIO 4 terminals contains a 3.6 kΩ resistor to circuit ground. The COM connection between
DIO 3 and DIO 4 terminals can be used with DIOs 1 through 4.
