Digital I/O Connector

All digital I/O is transmitted through a standard, 100-pin, male connector. Pins 49 and 99 are
connected to +5 V through a protection fuse (F1). This +5 V supply is often required to operate
I/O module mounting racks. Pins 50 and 100 are connected to ground. See Chapter 2,
Configuration and Installation, for additional information.
