Digital Input Voting Function Block (DI-V) 
The common digital input function block is connected to any combination of three input channels.   Up to 
three input channels may be connected to the digital source; the function block output pin reflects the 
majority of valid enabled input channels.

Digital Output Validation Function Block (DO-V) 
The digital input selected is compared to the DO channel output state for verification of output. 
Note:  The state used for DO-Vcomparison may require an inversion selection inside the function block 
checked.  Digital inputs “ON” state correspond to the presence of a “HIGH” input voltage on its terminals 
whereas digital outputs “ON” either drive the output voltage “ON” for sourcing types and “OFF” for 
sinking types of outputs.
