The output module provides a single group of 16 discrete outputs. Individual LEDs (logic side), visible through the transparent portion of the module top, indicate the on/off status of each output. Intelligent processing for this module is performed by the Bus Interface Unit or elsewhere in the system. This includes configuring features such as output default and fault reporting. The module has 16 bits (two bytes) of discrete output data. A Bus Interface Unit is required to obtain this output data from the host and/or local processor.
