Proposed are an input/output device and a control method for the same, the device including a first input/output terminal that receives a forward signal from a limit switch or outputs power to a sensor; a second input/output terminal that receives a backward signal from the limit switch or receives a sensing signal from the sensor; and an integrated circuit unit that determines a communication target for exchanging a signal through the first input/output terminal and the second input/output terminal, and selectively receives or outputs the forward signal, the backward signal, the power of the sensor and the sensing signal based on the determination result.
