Calculation example for an
AXL E DI8 DO8 device
Figure 4-20 AXL E PB DI8 DO8 M12 6P
Type of sensor: Current consumption:
1 x reflex photoelectric barrier with 2 output signals 30 mA
2 x proximity switch 15 mA each
Type of actuator:
2 x solenoid valve (hydraulic) 1.3 A each
2 x solenoid valve (pneumatic) 67 mA each
