Digital I/O

Digital inputs receive signals from external devices like switches, sensors, or push buttons, indicating whether a condition is active or inactive (e.g., a door is open or closed). Digital outputs enable the PLC to control devices such as relays, lights, or solenoids by sending on/off signals to activate or deactivate them. These I/O channels are essential for processes that rely on clear, binary decisions, ensuring reliable control of equipment and systems in automated operations. The main difference between digital I/O and analog I/O is that digital I/O provides binary values (on/off, true/false, ...). Digital I/O API provides interface for controlling all digital inputs and outputs on your controller.
