4.2 Electrical Installation of the PLC-A PLC-Interface Module
4.2.1 Overview
To operate the pump system in the standard configuration with a PLC, a minimum set of two digital inputs and
one analog input is needed. The digital and analog outputs can be used to monitor the pump status and
operating parameters.
CAUTION
The analog inputs and outputs are not galvanically isolated from
the controller electronics. To avoid ground loops and mal-
functions, use floating analog signals.
