Using with eBOX I/O

The eBOX GPI inputs and outputs are CMOS compatible circuits.
The CMOS GPI inputs require that the input signals be 0 to 5 volts
and referenced to ground. The CMOS GPI outputs can deliver 0
5 volts at up to +/- 6mA and referenced to ground.

In many cases, this will be compatible with your equipment.
However, in some cases, there will be the end user equipment ma
not be compatible with 0 to 5 volt requirements of the eBOX GPI
inputs and outputs. In this case, the eBOX I/O must be used. Each
eBOX I/O buffers 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The inputs are buffered
with an optoisolators while the outputs are buffered with a dr
relay contact. Up to three eBOX I/Os can be used with a single
eBOX.
