How does the Acorn board communicate with a Plc? Through what output pin?

The Acorn board has its own PLC built into it.
Acorn has eight programmable inputs and outputs you can use the Wizard to auto program the Acorn inputs and outputs with simple drop down menu selection of common machine tool inputs and output uses.
if you need something that isn't on the Wizard auto program I/O list you can customize the plc program yourself to suit the application.
