Power + Control Interface
It’s all about Inputs and Outputs. Devices with input lines send response data to the computer, while output lines are for signals sent from the computer that cause the device to operate.
To send and receive these signals, the computer is connected to a decode card housed in an interface cabinet. In this interface cabinet, there are slots for housing input/output cards, which are wired to connection panels. These panels are paired with a chamber that has devices installed.
