Less wiring. Wiring between devices and relay contacts are done in the PLC program. Easier and faster to make changes. Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime. Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure.

1. Pilot Duty Outputs Outputs of this type typically are used to drive high-current electromagnetic loads such as solenoids, relays, valves, and motor starters. These loads are highly inductive and exhibit a large inrush current. Pilot duty outputs should be capable of withstanding an inrush current of 10 times the rated load for a short period of time without failure. 2. General - Purpose Outputs These are usually low- voltage and low-current and are used to drive indicating lights and other non-inductive loads. Noise suppression may or may not be included on this types of modules.

3. Discrete Inputs Circuits of this type are used to sense the status of limit switches, push buttons, and other discrete sensors. Noise suppression is of great importance in preventing false indication of inputs turning on or off because of noise.

4. Analog I/O Circuits of this type sense or drive analog signals. Analog inputs come from devices, such as thermocouples, strain gages, or pressure sensors, that provide a signal voltage or current that is derived from the process variable. Standard Analog Input signals: 4-20mA; 0-10V Analog outputs can be used to drive devices such as voltmeters, X-Y recorders, servomotor drives, and valves through the use of transducers. Standard Analog Output signals: 4-20mA; 0-5V; 0-10V 5. Special - Purpose I/O Circuits of this type are used to interface PLCs to very specific types of circuits such as servomotors, stepping motors PID (proportional plus integral plus derivative) loops, high-speed pulse counting, resolver and decoder inputs, multiplexed displays, and keyboards. This module allows for limited access to timer and counter presets and other PLC variables without requiring a program loader.

Troubleshooting
1. Look at the process 2. PLC status lights HALT - something has stopped the CPU RUN - the PLC thinks it is OK (and probably is) ERROR - a physical problem has occurred with the PLC 3. Indicator lights on I/O cards and sensors 4. Consult the manuals, or use software if available. 5. Use programming terminal / laptop.
