    * Input pin represents I-xx. Figure 3.3. Input Circuit The input circuits of interface blocks of the PIO-16/16L(CB)H is illustrated in Figure 3.3. The signal inputs are isolated by opto-couplers (ready to accept current sinking output signals). The PC card therefore requires an external power supply to drive the inputs. The power requirement for each input pin is about 5.1 mA at 24 VDC (about 2.6 mA at 12 VDC).
