1Input range setting switch (voltage/current)
This switch is used to change the input mode (between voltage and current). All eight
input channels of the A/D converter unit operate at the same level. Refer to page 3−3
for details.
2Analog input terminal block (9-pin)
Use a terminal block socket made by Phoenix Contact Co. (product number:
1840434).
3Power supply connector
Supply 24V DC. It is connected using the power supply cable (AFP0581) that comes
with the unit.
4Expansion connector
connects an expansion unit to the internal circuit of the this unit.
5DIN rail attachment lever
allows simple attachment to a DIN rail. The lever is also used for installation on FP0
slim type mounting plate (AFP0803).
6Expansion hook
is used to secure expansion units.
