ClearPath Input Wiring
ClearPath inputs are compatible with many standard devices including:
A) open-collector sourcing transistor B) open-collector sinking transistor,
C) 5V CMOS logic, D) Mechanical switches or relay contacts.
The examples shown above are not exhaustive. The inputs can be
controlled from any sinking or sourcing device or totem-pole driven
outputs in the 4V to 24V range including outputs from PLCs, sensors,
signal generators, microcontrollers and more as long as the connected
device can supply the minimum current.
