The motion controller includes several types of inputs/and outputs which are not directly related to the motion of the motor.  Digital I/O is broken down into three categories:  

1) Dedicated I/O – high speed inputs or outputs which have a dedicated function which cannot be changed;  

2) High speed I/O – high speed inputs or outputs with processing times of <200ns that have certain functions associated to them, but can also be used as general purpose inputs or outputs; and 

3) General purpose I/O, which have no built-in associated functions and are defined by the user.


There are also analog inputs, analog outputs and PWM outputs.
