Troubleshooting Your
Output Modules
The following will assist you in troubleshooting your output modules.
Output Circuit Operation
An output circuit controls the output signal in the following manner.
1. Logic circuits determine the output status.
2. An output status indicator indicates the status of the output
signal.
3. Opto-electrical isolation separates output circuit logic and
backplane circuits from field signals.
4. The output driver turns the corresponding output on or off.
