In the default setting, each of the 24V power sources (LS+) provides a current of 40 mA 
which is buffered against power failures for 20 ms. 
If higher current is required, the DI Supply[xx] system parameter can be set in the user 
program to connect an unbuffered power source (1 A) for each terminal pair (33, 34 and 43, 
44) and (53, 54 and 63, 64), see 
Figure 2 and Figure 3.  
The remote I/O reads back the state of the unbuffered power sources and if an overload 
occurs, it switches off. The power sources are protected with current limiting components.
