Welcome to the G4 Digital I/O
Family Data Book
Introduction
Generation 4 digital I/O, introduced by Opto 22 in 1989, provides increased density over older modules, while
maintaining single-channel flexibility. LEDs and fuses are generally on the modules rather than the rack to make them
visible and easy to service. The G4 digital I/O family includes a wide variety of modules, mounting racks, and
accessories to meet the needs of your system.
