7.7 Digital inputs
The digital inputs (optional extra) are actuated with an external voltage DC 0/24 V or via a potential-free
contact (auxiliary voltage in place).
The digital inputs are pooled into groups along with other digital signals in the "Groups" configuration and
are then available for further use via these groups.

7.7.1 Signal monitoring
Signal monitoring (alarm) can be activated for each digital input.
In alarm cases, an alarm signal is activated. Depending on the configuration, an entry is made in the
event list or additionally in the alarm list. In the latter case, the alarm/event text is displayed in the status
bar (until another alarm occurs); the collective alarm is enabled, and the plotter trace may be displayed
in a different color.
