(2) Input circuit conguration and external connection
The 24V DC digital input circuits are available for high, medium and low speed. They all have the similar circuit structures but
with different response speeds. When making the connection of external digital input devices, the one ends of all input devices
(e.g. buttons and switches) are connected together and called the external common wire, while the other ends of input circuits
are connected to the input terminals X0, X1, X2, etc., of SPF. Then nish it by connecting the external common wiring and
internal common terminal S/S to the 24VDC power. When connecting the internal common terminal S/S to 24V+ (positive) and
the external common wire to 24V- (negative), then the circuit serves as a sink input. On the contrary, while exchange the wiring
of the above internal and external common will serve as a source input. The above wiring schemes can illustrated below:
• Wiring of source input
• Wiring of sink input
