them. It can have a minimum of 2 zones (A, B) and a maximum of 4 (A, B, C, D). The

Shield. Outputs are named as Q1.X and relays as R1.X

1.2 Zone Distribution
A zone is completely common for every single M-Duino Family PLC. The rest of zones
can have two different shields. The two shields that can be in every Zone (except for A
Zone) are the Analog Shield or the Relay Shield. Only 1 Shield is allowed per Zone.
Depending on the combination that is made to build the PLC it can provide more
Analog Inputs/Outputs or Relays Outputs. All the zones (B, C, D) can be one of the two
