Various options are available to handle I/O that is not available
within the main instrument enclosure. Typically, this is for larger
quantities of discrete I/O (analogue and / or digital) but may also be
used for protocol converters. Such units are generally stand-alone,
requiring a mains power supply. The unit can be located remotely
from the main instrument enclosure, connecting via a serial link
(most commonly RS422). The exception is Ex I/O units, which are
local to and powered from the main instrument enclosure.
Separate documentation will be provided for this type of unit.
