For CPU models with relay outputs, you must install a digital signal (SB) to use the pulse outputs.
The different CPU models provide a diversity of features and capabilities that help you create
effective solutions for your varied applications. For detailed information about a specific
CPU, see the technical specifications (Page 281).
