Installing the USB-ERB24
The USB-ERB24 has two on-board switches that you set to configure the relay logic polarity and the resistor
pull-up/down configuration. Configure these switches before you connect the external power supply to the
USB-ERB24. Factory-configured default settings are listed in . Refer to Fi for the location of
each switch on the USB-ERB24.

Configuring the hardware switches
The USB-ERB24 has two on-board switches that you set to configure the relay control logic polarity and the
relay power-on state. Factory-configured default settings are listed in . Refer to for the
location of each switch on the USB-ERB24.
Board label Description Default setting
INVERT NON-INVERT
S1
Configures the relay control logic parity per relay bank for invert or
non-invert logic.
Non-invert
Pull DOWN PULL UP
S2
Configures the relay power-on state per relay bank for pull-up or
pull-down.
Pull-down
Each DIP switch sets the configuration of one relay group. The DIP switch labeled A configures relays 1 to 8,
the switch labeled B configures relays 9 to 16, the switch labeled CL configures relays 17 to 20, and the switch
labeled
CH configures relays 21 to 24 ( ). Figure 2-3
