Output Ports (Form C Relays)
The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Form C (SPDT) Electro-mechanical relays. These
relays have three connections: Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and a
Common. The relays are all de-energized at power-on. Data to the relays is latched
by a write to the base+2 address. On/off status of the relays can be read back by a
read at the base+2 address.

Reading the Inputs
The inputs are active Low. If no voltage is applied across one of the differential
inputs it returns a binary one (1) on that bit. If an AC or DC voltage is applied it
returns a binary zero (0) on that bit.
