Discrete Inputs are denoted using an “I” pre-fix (e.g. I1, I4, etc.). The maximum number of physical Inputs available in an EZ7-TouchPLC Micro is 24. Hence, you may only use I1 – I24 in your main logic. Note: All the discrete type EZ7 Inputs are mapped to Discrete Input bits. In the example above, the output bit O1 will be turned on when input I1 allows power through the rung.
