Hint: Control module terminals #C1-#C2 correspond to terminals #31-#32 on the breakout box. Terminals #A1-#A30 correspond to terminals #1-#30 on the breakout box.

The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the control module is connected; and the cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuits and damage to the connector pins.
