All GPIs and GPOs available on OptoTrigger 5 are mapped to the two SUB D15 sockets (Port A and Port B). They have the following indices: 

 

Powering Opto Trigger 5

 

The power must be delivered by an external power source.

   

 

IN Signals on Opto Trigger 5

 

The input signals are not directly passed to the opto couplers but send to differential comparators. The advantage is that the input accepts low current, voltage driven signals between 5 an 25V. (Input signals can have pull up or a pull down resistor of 10k Ohm).

The polarity of the input signals is NOT inverted.

   

 

OUT Signals on Opto Trigger 5

 

On Opto Trigger 5, the opto-couplers do not directly connect to the output, but are buffered by MOSFET transistors. These transistors build an easy-to-use open collector driver with a 20 mA static current diode as pull-up.
