GPIO
A 6-pin removable terminal block labeled
GPIO
contains 2 GPI inputs and 2 GPO outputs
GPI’s:
The two top pins on the 6 pin terminal strip are used for two General Purpose inputs (GPI).
The GPIs can be configured as active high or low by setting DIP switch 3. GPIs are active
low when DIP switch 3 is Off and GPIs are active high when DIP switch 3 is On (positioned
closest to the PCB). The GPI inputs are opto isolated with an internal pull-up resistor to +5V
or +12V as shown in Figure
5.4 for information on selecting the pull-up
voltage.

When connecting cables to the GPIO terminal block, a ferrite core should be
placed around the cable in order to reduce the electromagnetic interference to
limits acceptable for Class A digital devices. The ferrite impedance should be
greater than 70 ohms at 25MHz greater than 135 ohms at 100MHz
