Connecting Devices to Output Signals
HAWK MV-4000 output signals can be interfaced with input modules (with sourcing or
sinking input signals) found on most programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other
devices. The output signals can also be interfaced with inductive load devices (such as a
relay, light stack or a small motor).
The HAWK MV-4000 output signals are sinking output signals, based on an NPN-type
transistor. They need to be connected to an external power source because on their own,
they are not capable of providing voltage to drive a device. They are typically connected in a
sinking configuration because they only have one dedicated pin (Output1, Output 2, Output
3 (External Strobe), respectively) and share their other pin (Output Common). So, typically, a
sourcing device is connected to their dedicated pin and the return path is connected to the
common pin. The exact connection between the output signal, the connected device, and
the power source depends on the type of device to which you connect.
