Individual Ground Type (digital in only): Defines the type of digital input as either Individual Ground
or Common Ground.
 Individual Ground: used if the monitored input is a single relay contact and two contacts—
common and NO or NC—are accessible.
 Common Ground: used if multiple relays are to be monitored that have the commons bussed or
tied together (only one common input connection) and only the NO or NC contacts are available
for each individual relay output. See the example below or refer to section 2-2 Falcon FMS Wiring
on page 4, for more information.
Example: Configure input channels 1–2 for Individual Ground, and configure input
channels 4–6 for Common Ground.
