5.6.2 Digital input/output
The control unit has eight 24V DC digital inputs and outputs. The following figure shows
an integration to a "customer device".

In contrast to other fieldbus interfaces, the "load config #" command must be used
instead of the "load config number" command to load a configuration using the digital
IO.

In the control unit various aflex configurations can be stored.
This allows you to quickly switch between separating, con-
veying or alternatively changing configurations for different
work pieces.
With the commands Load Config #x, the corresponding con-
figuration is loaded with a rising flank. These commands al-
low you to load a configuration without using 8 bits for the
LoadConfigNumber command.
Because only eight digital inputs are available, the possibilities to integrate the aflex
are limited. Two different strategies are described in more detail below.
