7 I/O functionality
This section contains information about how to connect and use the I/O, with specific
additional information about rules that apply when the I/O is used in a safety function.
Inputs
There are 3 types of inputs in the IQAN-MC3:
• Voltage inputs
• Digital inputs
• Frequency inputs
Voltage inputs
Connecting sensors to the voltage inputs
The range of the voltage inputs is 0-5 Vdc. For input characteristics, see Appendix A.
In order to detect errors such as "open circuit" in the wiring, the active signal range
from the sensor must be limited, e.g. 0.5-4.5 Vdc.
Active signal range.
The positive terminal of the sensor is connected to the +VREF position and the
corresponding negative terminal to the -VREF position. The sensor signal is connected
to appropriate VIN position.
EXAMPLE
Connect the positive and negative terminals of the position sensor to +VREF and
-VREF, respectively. Then connect the sensor signal to a VIN.
