Use InstaCal to read the current power-on state setting for each module group. Screw terminals and relays Connect external devices to the relay contacts using the USB-ERB08 board's eight sets of screw terminals. Each relay has a normally closed (NC), common (C), and normally open (NO) contact. Figure 8 shows the screw terminals on a typical relay channel. -
Page 12: Relay Configuration
USB-ERB08 User's Guide Functional Details Relay configuration You can install a pull-up or pull-down resistor at the NO and NC terminals on each relay. Note that the pull-up resistors are tied to the 5 V power and should be considered when calculating the power budget. The relay configuration is shown in Figure 9 Figure 9. -
