With the line monitor device installed, the input voltage, Vin,
has four possible states as represented in Table 1. When the
input module reads the input, the reference voltage, Vref, is
set to the values shown in Table 1 to detect the state of the
input.

The actual voltage levels for the T3418F are half that shown
in Table 1, e.g. the On/Off threshold is 6 Vdc and a line
monitored Switch Open is 8 Vdc. However, when configuring
the input module voltage thresholds, the settings should be as
shown in Table 1, i.e. 4 Vdc, 12 Vdc and 20 Vdc. The input
module will automatically halve these setting values for the
input module reference voltages.
Keying
The I/O chassis can be physically keyed to prevent accidental
damage caused by inserting a module into a slot wired for a
different module type. Figure 10 illustrates how the slot keys
are installed on the I/O chassis slot field wiring connectors.
The slot key positions for the monitored digital input module
are listed in Table 2.
