5.2.5 GPI/GPO (Hardware description)
Up to eight opto-coupled GPI pins [5] (General Purpose Input)
and up to four GPO pins [6] (General Purpose Output) are
available as additional digital control lines. This enables external
control and detection functions.
Note: A detailed description of how to configure the GPIOs
and assign the available software objects (functions)
correspondingly is given in Þ Chapter 6.2 "GPIO
Configuration" on page 25.
Each GPI provides either level (Hi/Lo active - non-latching) or edge
(rising/falling - latching) triggering.
Note: When using a GPI or GPO contact, observe the
following:
▪ An external DC power supply is required.
▪ GPI: The corresponding pin is connected via an opto-
coupler with a serial resistance of 5.4 kΩ.
▪ GPO: The corresponding pin is connected to ground
(GND/
) via a relay (Low-Side-Switch).
Make sure the current per GPO pin does not exceed 1 A.

5.2.6 FAULT
An additional 3-pin Phoenix Euroblock fault contact [7] is provided
allowing a general device error to be remotely indicated.
Note:
▪ The assignment of the corresponding software object is fixed
and cannot be changed by the user.
▪ During a firmware update, the fault contact switches to status
b), as shown in the graphic opposite.
