Application
Simplex Configuration
Digital output modules provide a suitable interface to non-
critical output devices. These non-critical devices typically
include status alarms or other field devices that are not used
for primary safety shutdown purposes. Although much of the
circuitry on the digital output module is automatically tested,
some logic circuits and the field-side output switch are simplex
and non-tested. This simplex configuration is illustrated in
Figure 3. For safety-critical outputs requiring fail-safe or
fault tolerant output configurations, Guarded digital output
modules should be used.

Field Wiring
Field wiring terminal blocks on the I/O chassis are used to
connect power sources and loads to the module. The terminal
blocks are located directly above and below the slot where the
module is installed. Each terminal block consists of ten #6
wire clamp screw terminals capable of holding two 12 AWG
wires.
Each module has separate power line and neutral terminals
for each output group (group 1: channels 1-8, group 2:
channels 8-16). The two groups are electrically isolated from
each other (2500 volts minimum). Figure 4 shows the proper
field wiring connections for 110 VAC digital output modules.
