d. AC I/O Cards:

There are three types of I/O cards: 8 x 24 VAC output card, 8 discrete

input card and 8 analog input card. The cards fit in any one of the controller slots and
are automatically recognized (plug and play). Each of the I/O cards can be equipped
with a lightning protection card (fitted on top of the card).
