AC30 series General Purpose I/O Option 
Port Configuration 
Each port can be configured individually as an input or an output. The 
following paragraphs describe how to specify the ports’ directions. 
The diagram below shows the equivalent circuit for port DIN11 / DOUT11. 
The other 3 ports are identical. 
Configure a port as output 
The user must provide 24V to X20/05, and 0V to X20/06 from an external 
power supply. 
OUTPUT CONTROL is a signal within the 7004-01-00 that can be 
configured by the user, and INPUT is a signal within the 7004-01-00 that 
can be monitored by the user. 
If OUTPUT CONTROL is ON, switch SW is closed, and X20/01 outputs a 
high level (+24V).  
If OUTPUT CONTROL is OFF, switch SW is open, and the resistor pulls 
X20/01 low (0V). 
INPUT always reports the logic level at the user terminal. 
Configure a port as input 
To select a port as an input, OUTPUT CONTROL must be OFF. Then if 
the user applies 24V to X20/01, INPUT reports a high level. If the user 
applies 0V, or open circuit to X20/01, INPUT reports a low level.
