Input/Output Settings
Digital inputs and analog inputs/outputs on Zlinx 485 modules are configured from the
Input/Output tab of the Zlinx 485 Manager. The first two digital inputs on any module
can be configured as Discrete inputs or Frequency Counter inputs. (Any additional digital
inputs operate as Discrete inputs only.) Frequency Counter operation is only functional
when the Zlinx 485 is set up in Modbus mode. Analog inputs and outputs can be
configured for voltage or current loop operation.
To configure digital and analog I/O:
1. Select the Input/Output tab.
