IC’s and resistor packs in the appropriate sockets. A group of eight LED’s indicates the status of each
I/O point. The numbers above the Bank 0 label indicate the number of the I/O point corresponding to
the LED above it.

Digital Inputs

Configuring a bank for inputs requires that the Ux3 and Ux4 sockets be populated with NEC2505
optical isolation integrated circuits. The IOM-1964 is shipped with a default configuration of banks 2-
7 configured as inputs. The output IC sockets Ux1 and Ux2 must be empty. The input IC’s are labeled
Ux3 and Ux4. For example, in bank 0 the IC’s are U03 and U04, bank 1 input IC’s are labeled U13
and U14, and so on. Also, the resistor pack RPx4 must be inserted into the bank to finish the input
configuration.

Connections to this optically isolated input circuit are done in a sinking or sourcing configuration,
referring to the direction of current. Some example circuits are shown below:

There is one I/OC connection for each bank of eight inputs. Whether the input is connected as sinking
or souring, when the switch is open no current flows and the digital input function @IN[n] returns 1.
This is because of an internal pull up resistor on the DMC-2x40*. When the switch is closed in either
circuit, current flows. This pulls the input on the DMC-2x40 to ground, and the digital input function
@IN[n] returns 0. Note that the external +5V in the circuits above is for example only. The inputs are
optically isolated and can accept a range of input voltages from 4 to 28 VDC.

Active outputs are connected to the optically isolated inputs in a similar fashion with respect to current.
An NPN output is connected in a sinking configuration, and a PNP output is connected in the sourcing
configuration.
