--- Notes ---

irBoard can switch on/off devices. If you need to interlock devices controlled by PLC, you need to configure that on PLC. If there are some devices of which you are not sure about safety, please set the permission of them readonly and dont use that function.

There is health status. So you can check whether the connection is normal or not. If it lost the connection, you should operate safely on your PLC.
