The VMM1210 has 3 main types of inputs, as follows:
Programmable digital inputs (can be used as active high, active low, or power
control)
Dedicated addressing inputs
Programmable multi-purpose inputs (can be used as analog, digital, or
frequency)
Note: Do not connect inputs directly to unprotected inductive loads such as
solenoids or relay coils, because they can produce high voltage spikes that
may damage the VMM1210. If an inductive load must be connected to an
input, use a protective diode or transorb.
3.1. Programmable Digital Input Types
Digital inputs are typically used with electrical signals and switches that are either
on or off.
There are 2 types of programmable digital inputs in the <Product_Name>:
Digital Inputs (active high or active low)
Power Control Digital Inputs
These inputs can be programmed as active high or active low and as power
control inputs using the VMM Software package.
