Figure 5. Digital Inputs and Outputs

5 Binary Inputs | 8 Configurable Binary Outputs
Digital Inputs and Outputs can be powered by actuator or customer
supplied 24 V DC
Optional board available for 115 to 230 DC/AC voltage for discrete
inputs and outputs
Common ground of the binary inputs is optically isolated from other
internal electronics
All binary outputs are optically isolated when customer supplies
control voltage
Different wiring conduits available for weatherproof and
explosion proof ratings

Figure 6. Binary Input/Output Current Characteristics

Customer supplied control power: 20 - 30 V DC

max. current: 500 mA or 120 mA in power-safe
Max. allowed current for all binary outputs with power supplied by
control system: 250 mA
Actuator sourced output voltage: typical 23 V
max. output current: 200 mA
Max. allowed current for all binary outputs with power supplied by
actuator: 150 mA
Max. allowed current per binary output: 500 mA

Analog in and out uses the actuator's control unit common ground
