Basic Operation
5.11 Digital I/O Function (Digital Port)
The IT8000 series load supports digital I/O function. The user can realize logic
control over high and low level input or output by related configurations in the
system menu, namely general digital signal I/O function. In addition to general
digital I/O functions, this series can be customized to meet different special
needs through different pin wirings. For example, you can connect a pin to an
external instrument, and set a fixed pulse or level signal for the external instru-
ment. Once the external instrument fails, output this pulse or level signal. After
the instrument identifies this signal, it controls whether the load input is reduced
to 0 or whether the [On/Off] is switched off based on related settings.
The rear panel of the instrument has a green 8-pin terminal (For position, see
1.5 Rear Panel Introduction). The terminal is a wiring terminal with digital I/O
function. These pins are bi-directional I/O interfaces. For hardware index infor-
mation, see Table 5–2 Hardware parameters of the I/O interface. The pins sup-
port the input or output of pulse and high and low level. Different pins can
achieve different functions.
