Outputs
Outputs are open collector and can be used to drive relays solenoid LEDs etc. Optional LED
and relay modules are available which plug directly into the 10 way header.
Note that if these outputs are to drive inductive loads such as relays and motors then the load
must have some form of back EMF suppression fitted. IF SUPPRESSION IS NOT FITTED
THEN THE OUTPUT DEVICE WILL BE DAMAGED. The following diagram shows how to
interface the VIOM output to a relay.
