Scanner 2 Port Module (C75 only)  
The Scanner 2 Port Module is shown in Figure 15. 
The dual ports provide redundancy through the 2 CPUs. Features at 
the front of the module include: 
1.  LED status/diagnostic indicator for scanner functions.   
2.  I/O port A. Private Ethernet 10Base-T Port. Connects directly to 
I/O port on CPU-A (or indirectly through a switch). 
3.  I/O port B. Private Ethernet 10Base-T Port. Connects directly to 
I/O port on CPU-B (or indirectly through a switch).  
4.  LED status/diagnostic indicators for communications functions

Input/Output Modules 
I/O module types: 
•  16 point high level analog input module: each point is configurable for V or mA. Point-to-point 
isolation. 
•  4 point isolated analog output module: Supports from 0 to 
20mA each. 
•  8 or 16 point analog output module: Supports from 0 to 
20mA each. Isolated in groups of 4 channels. 
•  16 point digital input modules: Contact closure type, DC 
voltage and AC voltage types. 
•  32 point digital input module: DC voltage.  
•  8 point AC or 16 point DC digital output modules (sinking 
type). 
•  32 point digital output: DC voltage (sourcing type)  
•  8 point relay output module: four form C type and four form 
A type relays. 
•  8 point Universal Analog Input module 
•  4 channel Pulse/Frequency/Quadrature I/O module 
Figure 16 – I/O Module Terminal Blocks 
Each I/O module includes a status indicator for the module.  Digital Input and Digital Output modules also 
include a status indicator for each channel.  Terminal blocks available include the Euro style (Figure 16 
left) and the Barrier style (Figure 16 right).
