Relation between Input Current at Trigger Input Terminals and Sensor
Control Output (Load Current)
The trigger inputs of the High-speed Analog Input Units can detect sensor output ON only when the
following conditions are satisfied:
I
OUT
(min) ≤ I
in
≤ I
OUT
(max)
I
OUT
(min): Minimum value of load current
I
OUT
(max): Maximum value of load current
Use the following equation to calculate the input current:
I
in
= I
ON
Note At the trigger input terminals of the High-speed Analog Input Units, the input current does not increase
linearly for the input voltage. If you gradually raise the input voltage and once the input current reaches
I
ON
, the input current does not increase any further
, and remains roughly constant even when the input
voltage is raised.
When I
in
is smaller than I
OUT
(min), connect a bleeder resistor R. The bleeder resistor constant can
be calculated as follows: Select an appropriate bleeder resistor R so that both equations can be
satisfied.
