I assume that since they address the inputs as 'E" (eingang) and the outputs as 'A' (ausgang), that this is a German (or Austrian or Swiss) PLC. Is it Siemens?
PLCStudent, you were lucky. You provided no context and still got a good answer to your question in short order. You should be aware that other brands of PLC don't necessarily use the same terminology, and that it would be good practice in the future to include information about the brand and model of PLC with your questions.
