Digital I/O module -- One of the most important sections on an AS-Interface module data sheet covers electrical specifications of inputs and outputs. In this episode, Tim and Helge discuss the VBA-4E4A-G11-ZAJ/EA2L-F AS-Interface module, as an example. --AUX -- Auxiliary power is typically used to power outputs. --Rates operating voltage -- This is the voltage requirement available to the module at the location where it is connected to the cable. --Operating current -- This is the current needed to run the module.  Sensors and load current are extra. --Max. current -- This is the total current consumed by the module.  This includes the operating current, the current it can supply to the sensors, and the load current. --Current loading capacity -- This the current the module can provide to run the sensors and the resulting load current. --Input current – This is the internally limited load current.
