    Connecting to the auxiliary I/O interface Connecting devices to the auxiliary output signals Matrox Iris GTX auxiliary output signals can be interfaced with input modules (with sourcing or sinking input signals) found on most programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other devices. The auxiliary output signals can also be interfaced with inductive load devices (such as a relay or a small motor).
  • Page 30 Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your Matrox Iris GTX You can also connect a single auxiliary output signal in a sourcing configuration, such that the common pin is connected to a sinking device and the dedicated pin is connected to the power supply. However, in this configuration, the other two auxiliary output signals are not available.

  • Page 32 As a precaution, the auxiliary output signals are individually fuse-protected up to 50 mA. Matrox Iris GTX uses resettable fuses. The fuses protect Matrox Iris GTX if you accidentally connect their corresponding auxiliary output signal to a device that sources/sinks more current than Matrox Iris GTX can safely transmit. If more than 50 mA of current goes through your Matrox Iris GTX, the fuse will eventually trip.
