Programmable Inputs
Programmable inputs are provided to enable external
control over a variety of parameters. Each input can
respond to either a contact closure or a continuous
voltage. The following illustrates common connections
to the programmable input pins. (See also
Program-
mable Inputs and Outputs Wiring Diagram
.)
No external pull-up resistors are necessary because
each programmable input is internally pulled up through
a 100K resistor to +5V. When using a continuous volt-
age with one of the programmable inputs, the function
of the programmable input must be set to either
Analog
In Control
or
Analog Out Control
on the
Program-
mable Inputs
control tab in the Control Panel GUI.
See the
Programmable Input
tab in the Control Panel
software Help for setting all programmable input param-
eters.
Programmable Outputs
Programmable outputs are used to indicate either
channel activity or the current state of a programmable
output. Each programmable output is the electrical
equivalent of a contact closure to ground. When a
programmable output is “active”, it conducts current to
ground. When the programmable output is “inactive”,
no current flows to ground. The maximum usable volt-
age for the programmable outputs is 40 V and they will
safely conduct up to 100 mA DC continuous. Following
are some typical uses for the programmable outputs.
Note: The diagram shows an external DC source
powering the relay coil. This is necessary
whenever coil voltages exceed 5 V.
