Appendix D: Using GS4 AC Drives with AutomationDirect PLCs
PlC exaMPles
This section shows typical wiring examples of PLC inputs and outputs connected to a GS4 drive.
While we are using CLICK PLCs in the examples, the samples should be relevant to most any PLC.
The terminal designation of other PLCs may be different, but the general connections should
be the same (i.e. in the 1st example below, all PLC sourcing output modules will have a +VDC
connection, a DC common terminal, and individual outputs). In the examples below, we make
note of the typical connections involved. We also indicate current flow (with red arrows) to
emphasize which modules are sourcing and which modules are sinking.

Digital Input Common
Each PLC output
sources current
to a drive input.
There must be a return
path for current to the
drive. For this module,
the ”C1” terminal is the
common return path for
PLC outputs 1–4.
There will always be a PLC
terminal for +VDC. From this
point, the voltage (and current
)
flows into the PLC output card
.

Digital Input Common
This power supply* provides current
to the drive inputs as source current.
The PLC outputs sink the current.
This power is
to supply the
internal logic
for the card.
*Alternately, the drive internal power supply (+24V) could be used. However
, the
DCM common would have to be connected to the PLC power supply common.
