2.4.4 Connect digital inputs
The inputs of the easyE4 devices switch electronically.
Once you have connected a contact via an input terminal, you can reuse it as a con-
tact in your circuit diagram as often as you like.
Connect the contacts, for example buttons or switches, to the input terminals of the
easyE4 device.

Fig. 20: Connecting the digital inputs on expansions
As per the hardware characteristics, base devices have 8 digital inputs available (I1
– I8)
Meanwhile, expansion devices feature 4 (I1 – I4) or 8 (I1 – I8) inputs.
