Output Modules
Both the Form A and Form C relays can be controlled with Digital Output
modules, Pulser modules, or Calibration Pulser modules. By default, six Digital
Output modules (labeled DO RA-2 to DO RA-4 and DO RC-1 to DO RC-4) are
already created for this purpose. You can either use these modules, or create and
configure other modules to control the output ports.
 Calibration Pulser modules allow you to generate high accuracy energy pulses
for calibration testing purposes. They integrate instantaneous power inputs.
 Digital Output modules accept Boolean inputs, and output a continuous signal
or pulses.
 Pulser modules convert instantaneous pulses to pulses or transitions.
Consult the online ION Reference if you require more information about these ION
modules.
Configure the settings of the controlling module to match your requirements. The
settings in these modules are as follows:
