3.1.3—Simplex Inputs and Outputs
Each I/O module has connectors on the faceplate. For analog and discrete I/O, cables connect the module
to a Field Terminal module (FTM). The FTM is used to connect to the field wiring. For communication
modules, FTMs are not used. Cables are connected directly to the faceplate of the communications module.
The following diagram shows the flow of analog and discrete inputs from the field to the application.

3.1.4—Redundant Inputs
Two levels of I/O signal redundancy are available. The first involves wiring two external input devices to two
separate input channels. See Figure 3-3. In the event of a failed sensor or a failure in the connection from
the sensor to the control, a valid input is still available

The second level is wiring two external input devices to two separate I/O modules. See Figure 3-4. In the
event of a failure in one of the sensors, connections, cables, FTMs, or I/ O modules, a valid input is still
available.
