6.4.2 Analog Output Channels
Analog outputs (AOs) provide a current output for powering analog devices. The ROC364 I/O Card
analog output is a 4-20 mA loop signal.
Two analog outputs are provided on the I/O Card. They are designated Point Numbers B9 and B10.
The second and third terminal positions are connected as follows:
+ Positive load
- Negative load
A schematic representation of the field wiring connections to the analog output channel is shown in
Figure Section: 6-5. The AO provides loop current (4- to 20 mA) from the “+” terminal to non-
powered field devices. If an I/O Conveter Card is installed in the ROC364 MCU, the “+” terminal
provides power for loop-powered devices at 24 volts; otherwise, the source power at the “+” terminal is
the same as the 12 or 24 Vdc power supplied to the MCU. Note that terminal “-” is connected to an
isolated analog signal common.

6.4.3 Discrete Input Channels
Discrete inputs (DIs) monitor the status of relays, solid-state switches, an intrusion switch, or other two-
state devices. DI functions support discrete latched inputs and discrete status inputs.
The I/O Card discrete inputs acquire power from the ROC power supply. An LED indicator is included
for each channel. The signal from the field is coupled through an optical isolator providing isolation
from the main circuit board.
