See in blue for additional information about RC7 I/O boards. “Switching procedure is the same for both”

There are two types of RC7 controller:
One controller has a safety box and the other a safety board. You can determine which I/O card is needed by the following:

If the I/O board has no chip it talks to the safety box.

If the I/O board has a chip it talks to the safety board.
Once this is determined see description and part number below for correct I/O board.

If a new board is needed see reference below:
