### 4. Functionality

The HSL-DI16DO16-DB-PN functions as a distributed I/O expansion module within the HSL system, providing both input monitoring and output control capabilities.

Operation Principle:

- Inputs (PNP Sourcing):
Each input channel detects a high logic state when a positive voltage (typically +24V DC) is applied relative to ground. The internal circuitry uses LED indicators and opto-isolation to ensure reliable signal detection and electrical isolation.

- Outputs (NPN Sinking):
Each output channel acts as a low-side switch, sinking current from the load to ground when activated. This configuration is ideal for driving relays, solenoids, and indicator lamps that require a grounded return path.

Use Cases and Applications:

- Industrial automation and process control
- Machine control and monitoring systems
- Distributed I/O in PLC-based architectures
- Factory automation and assembly line control
- Remote I/O expansion for ADLINK HSL controllers
- Integration with sensors, actuators, and digital devices requiring PNP/NPN compatibility

Compatibility:

- Fully compatible with HSL-TB32-M-DIN terminal base
