EIGHT / SIXTEEN CHANNEL MODES
The system menu allows setting the SafeGuard Controller to accept either 8, or, 16
channels. If 8 channels are selected by this menu they are channels 1-8 and 9-16 are
disabled. One way the SafeGuard Controller cost is kept low is Input / Output option
PCB’s are arranged into groups of 8 channels. Therefore, users with less than 9 channels
require only 1 PCB and do not pay for I/O hardware for 16 channels. If more than 8
channels are needed a second I/O option PCB may be required.
