Input/Output Board 
The input/output (I/O) board provides the I/O interfaces and connections for the SC100 
system controller. 
The I/O board includes a range of sense inputs for dc power system control and monitoring. It 
also allows real time data collection from building services and other external devices, and relay 
outputs for alarm signals or control of external devices. 
 
The I/O functions are: 
 
Current - 3, Bus voltage - 1, Temperature - 2 
Digital inputs: 4 pre-defined system functions, 6 user-defined 
Relay outputs: 6 (one also used as Monitor OK alarm) 
LVD contactor outputs: 2 
 
  For input and output specifications see details on page 61. For connector pin-outs see details on 
page 68.
