Connecting the sensors 
Four sensors and four additional inputs or outputs (AUX I / O) can be connected to the "Sensor 
1, I / O 1" to "Sensor 4, I / O 4" connections. PNP or NPN sensors as well as sensors with NC or 
NO contact can be used. The sensor type and the function of the additional I/O can be 
parameterized (see "Digital I/O Settings", page 32). Using a Y-line, a sensor and an input/output 
can be connected to one connection at the same time (see „Accessories“, page 57). 
Connections are not short-circuit proof 
In the event of a short circuit, in particular between pin 1 and pin 3, the internal fuse 
(PTC) in the MultiControl triggers. Normal operation is possible again after the internal 
fuse has cooled down. 
➢  Ensure correct polarity.
