2.7.2 Wiring of Inputs
Connecting sink or source devices
The base units of the FX family series can be used with sink or source switching devices. The
decision is made by the different connections of the "S/S" terminal.
All inputs of a base unit or an extension unit can be either used as sink or source inputs, but it is
not possible to mix sink and source inputs in one unit. Separate units in one PLC however can be
set as sink or source inputs types, since the base unit and input/output powered extension units
are individually set to sink or source input mode.
Examples for input types

In the case of the sink input type , the S/S
terminal is connected to the 24V terminal of
the service power supply or, when a DC pow-
ered base unit is used, to the positive pole of
the power supply.
Sink input means that a contact wired to the
input (X) or a sensor with NPN open collector
transistor output connects the input of the
PLC with the
negative pole of a power
supply.
