4.6 Input and output modules
The I/O modules form the interface between the controller and the process. The controller
detects the current process state via the connected sensors and actuators, and triggers the
corresponding reactions.
Digital and analog modules provide the inputs/outputs that are re-
quired for the respective task.
The input/output modules are divided into function classes.
Function classes of input/output modules
The table below shows selected properties and technical specifications of different function
