Connecting the sensors
The connectors 'Sensor 1, I/O 1' to 'Sensor 4, I/O 4' can be used to connect four sensors and
four additional inputs and outputs (Aux I/O) to the MultiControl. PNP or NPN sensors as well as
sensors with opening or closing contacts can be used. The sensor type and the function of the
additional I/Os can be parameterized (see "Configuring inputs and outputs", page29). The use
of a Y-line allows connecting one sensor and one input/output to one connection at the same
time (see "Accessories", page43).

2 Aux I/O 4 Sensor input
NOTICE
Connections are not short circuit-proof
In case of a short circuit, particularly between Pin 1 and Pin 3, the internal fuse in the
MultiControl trips. The internal fuse cannot be replaced.
4 Ensure the correct polarity.
The inputs and outputs are not electrically isolated.
Parameters for the inputs
Input voltage 0 V to 24 V
Input resistance ≥ 15 kΩ
Switching thresholds ≥ 15 V "High"
≤ 5 V "Low"
Parameters for the outputs
Maximum output current ≤ 200 mA
Output voltage "1" with PNP > 15 V @ 200 mA
Output voltage "1" with NPN ≤ 5 V @ 200 mA
4 If a sensor connection remains unused, seal it with an M8 blind cap to achieve degree of
protection IP54.
