EX1629 Basic Operation 59
DIGITAL I/O
The EX1629 provides sixteen programmable digital input/output signals, modeled on the
VT1533A digital input/output signal conditioning plug-on (SCP) module. These sixteen signals
are divided into two banks of 8 signals: Bank 0 is digital I/O signals 0 through 7 and Bank 1 is
digital I/O signals 8 through 15. Each bank is configurable as inputs (default) or outputs. Further,
when configured as outputs, each bank can be configured as a passive (resistor) pull-up or an
active (transistor) pull-up. When configured as inputs, the DIO signals (0 through 15) may be used
as trigger and/or arm sources.
Several vendors provide appropriate mating connectors. AMP part number 216166-1 (44-pin
housing) is one example.
