1.3 Zone - Nomenclature
The nomenclature shown in this point will be used in the whole User Guide, so it is
important to understand this nomenclature.
The nomenclature to differentiate the zones is based on Alphanumeric values, being 0
the internal communication shield and A, B or C the I/Os or Relay shield.
●The inputs in the zone A/B/C are named IX.X, being X any number suitable in
the Shield. Outputs are named as QX.X.
1.4 Zone Distribution
This is the possible zones scheme, whether the zone is Analog/Digital or Relay
depends on your device, you can consult it on the Zones Table. The distribution of the
different features that provide the Raspberry PLC Family are described below.
