3.5. Digital Outputs [-EB1]
Optically-isolated solid-state relays drive the digital outputs. You can connect the digital outputs in
current sourcing or current sinking mode but you must connect all four outputs in a port in the same
configuration. Refer to
Figure 3-12 and Figure 3-13 .
The digital outputs are not designed for high-voltage isolation applications and they should only be used
with ground-referenced circuits.
You must install suppression diodes on digital outputs that drive relays or other inductive devices. To see
an example of a current sourcing output that has diode suppression, refer to
Figure 3-12 . To see an
example of a current sinking output that has diode suppression, refer to Figure 3-13
The digital outputs have overload protection. They will resume normal operation when the overload is
removed.
