Input Processing

All inputs are available to all three controllers, but there are several ways that the input data is handled. For inputs existing in
only one I/O module, all three controllers use the same value as common input without voting, as displayed in the table
below. Inputs that appear in all three I/O channels may be voted to create a single input value. The triple inputs may come
from three independent sensors. They can also be created from a single sensor by hardware fanning at the terminal board.
