    Grounding Concepts MX-U Series Processor and Camera Guide Grounding Concepts Functional ground is a low impedance current path between electrical circuits and ground. It is used, for example, to improve immunity to disturbances, but is not a protective measure. Grounding deflects disturbances, but does not neces- sarily provide protection against electric shock.

    3. Common Plus for output ports (Not an output voltage source. External 12 to 24VDC Plus is required) Processor Inputs The MX-U Series Processors contain sixteen general-purpose input connections. Two inputs serve as both event and polled inputs (Inputs 1 and 2). The remaining inputs are polled. The event inputs are interrupt-driven which means that a change of state on the input will immediately cause an action and any inspection task that uses that input will run.
