Cognex CC24 - Output to Pilot Light - Current Sourcing

Output to Pilot Light - Current Sourcing
To configure the output as a sourcing output, connect OUTPUT COMMON (for example, OUTPUT COMMON 4) to the
power supply's high voltage reference (+24VDC) and connect one of the OUTPUTS (for example, OUTPUT 12) to the
pilot light's high voltage reference (+24VDC).
Note:
l OUTPUTS 8 - 15 provide up to 100mA of current (maximum). These outputs are typically connected (directly
or indirectly) to a load, such as a relay, indicator light or reject mechanism.
l There are four sets of outputs: OUTPUTS 0 - 3 share the OUTPUT COMMON 1 connection; OUTPUTS4 - 7
share the OUTPUT COMMON 2 connection; OUTPUTS 8-11 share the OUTPUT COMMON 3 connection;
and OUTPUTS 12 - 15 share the OUTPUT COMMON4 connection. Therefore the output devices for each
set of outputs must be the same; either current sinking or current sourcing.
l To maintain optical isolation of the I/O lines, the devices connected to these lines must not be connected to
the same power supply as the PC. If they are connected to, or share a ground with, the same power supply,
they may still function but will no longer be optically isolated.
