CONFIGURATION OF MPC4 / IOC4T CARDS
9.3 Connecting speed sensors
The IOC4T panel has four screw terminals for each of the two speed channels. These
terminals are as follows:
The MPC4 / IOC4T card pair can be used to power sensors having built-in or integrally
attached signal conditioners, providing the current requirement is ≤25 mA. In cases where
this built-in power supply capability is insufficient, an external power supply must be used.
Table 9-3 shows when this is necessary.
PS Power supply for transducer or signal conditioner.
HI
Differential input for the signal.
LO
SHIELD Terminal for connecting the shield of the transmission cable.
