Wiring for Auxiliary I/O Terminals
Auxiliary I/O Terminals can be used to provide extra field wiring connections if
needed. They can be attached to either a terminal-style I/O carrier or to
Interposing I/O Terminals. Auxiliary I/O Terminals units are available with 18 box-
style terminals as displayed in the following figures or with 18 spring-style
terminals or 12 barrier-style terminals.

The terminals are electrically tied together. There is no electrical connection
from the I/O Carrier or Interposing Terminals to the Auxiliary I/O Terminals; any
necessary electrical reference must be provided. Multiple Auxiliary I/O
Terminals can be connected to provide the additional wiring terminals that may
be needed for high-density modules, or for 2-, 3-, and 4-wire field devices.

For 16-point modules that only use one row of terminals for point wiring, a shorting bar may be
used to provide extra terminals. Refer to the section ,
