If you want Soft-I/O to provide device power, you just select the voltage level, either 5VDC or 24VDC and then simply "wire" it by dragging and dropping the power connection to the proper Soft-I/O connector pin.  What could be easier?  Soft-I/O can provide up to one half amp of power per pin, up to a total of 4 amps into the Soft-I/O module.  That's a lot of power for an I/O device!

The fact that Soft-I/O can provide device power might seem like a minor point.  In fact, this subtle advantage of configurable Soft-I/O device power is a key reason that Soft-I/O dramatically simplifies wiring in your system.

If you want Soft-I/O to provide device common or ground, you just select the common Soft-Device and then simply "wire" it by dragging and dropping the common connection to the proper Soft-I/O connector pin. What could be easier? Soft-I/O can provide up to one half amp of ground current per pin, up to a total of 4 amps into the Soft-I/O module. That's a lot of power handling capability for an I/O device!
