Control Information for the 1260-60 The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-60 Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-60 when using a 1260-01T in the register-based mode of operation. There are two types of relays which populate the 1260-60 module. The standard relays (channels 0 through 111), are each controlled by a single bit within an 8-bit Control Register.
