Channels
Digital I/O Extension
Overview
The Digital I/O extension feature connects a digital input signal to digital output(s)/relay(s) and/or a
TCP/IP application over an IP network. Therefore, when the state of the digital input changes, you
can also change the state of the digital output or relay channel or output serial signal pin on a local
I/O channel(s), other IOLAN I/O channels, other IOLAN serial signal pins, or the data can be sent to
an application(s).
For example, when the door opens (I/O digital input sensor) in a factory, a light goes on in the
reception office (remote IOLAN relay channel), and the door open/close is logged by an application
on a remote host.
