Page 10: I/O Interface
I/O Interface The UFC430 module features an external I/O port (X4) with 8 inputs and 4 outputs. All inputs of the port are assigned special functions. If you do not need these special functions, the inputs are available to your requirements. The outputs of the port have no special functions (exception: OUT 4) and therefore they are always available. -
