This allows for the use of standard M12 cables, which are often preferred in heavy-duty mechanical engineering. Additionally, since the M12 sockets are 5-pin, each socket can be configured to carry multiple signals (e.g., two inputs or an input\/output pair) depending on the internal pin mapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this module handle high-speed switching for inductive loads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with a typical TON of 50 µs and TOFF of 100 µs, the outputs are highly responsive.
