Digital Inputs
This parameter indicates the states of the eight digital in-

common (on). A 0 indicates an open circuit (off).
To test an input, short it to controller common. When the
input is shorted, its input state should be 1. For detailed in-
structions, see Digital Input Test on page 27.
The controller display shows the states of digital inputs 1
to 8 from left to right. For serial communications and Log-
icPro programs, read the state of one input at a time.
Values: 0 if the input is off, 1 if the input is on
