5.3 Controller I/O
shown in the following subsections. These examples use regular digital outputs
but any configurable outputs could also have be used if they are not configured to
perform a safety function.

5.3.5 Communication with other machines or PLCs
The digital I/O can be used to communicate with other equipment if a common
GND (0V) is established and if the machine uses PNP technology, see below.

5.3.6 General purpose analog I/O
The analog I/O interface is the green terminal. It can be used to set or measure
voltage (0-10V) or current (4-20mA) from and to other equipment.
The following is recommended to achieve the highest accuracy.
• Use the AG terminal closest to the I/O. The pair share a common mode filter.
