Model 2203 Combination 16 Input / 16 Output Module Installation Guide Electronic sensors have internal circuitry that generally requires an external power source. However, if the desired sensor has voltage requirements that equal the controller’s built-in auxiliary supply (24 V), you can use the controller directly and do not need an external supply.
This section describes the digital outputs and how to connect devices to these inputs. Using Open-Collector Outputs The Model 2203 has 16 outputs for driving external loads such as solenoid valves, indicators, solid-state relays and other low-power DC loads. These outputs are configured as open-collector transistors that can switch loads up to 0.5 Amps DC.

Model 2203 Combination 16 Input / 16 Output Module Installation Guide requirements, you only need to consider the maximum number of output devices that will be turned on simultaneously. Refer to Figure 5 if your system’s current requirements exceed the capacity of the controller’s internal supply or you need a voltage other than 24 V.
Output 4 Solenoid Output 5 2203-6 Connecting to a Second External Supply Multiple devices can also derive their power source from a secondary external power supply. Some devices use this external supply while others use the controller’s internal power supply.
