4.4.1. Electrical Connections for Sensor Port
Aux I/O
When connecting to either Sensor port with an M8 connector to access Pin 2 signal; you typically will use a
standard parallel type splitter cable assembly that breaks out each of the available pins on the Module to
their own M8 connection port. These splitter cables wire the +24V and Common connections in parallel
Typical Parallel Splitter Cable Usage
Aux I/O Pin 2 as Input
When the Aux I/O Pin 2 is configured as an input, the circuit is NPN/PNP auto-sensing. The signal can be
connected to either +24V or 0V to operate.
Splitter cables are commercially available from multiple sources. Click here for information
