4.2.
Impulse levels and symmetric / asymmetric input formats
Positions 5 and 7 of DIL1 together with positions 3 to 6 of DIL2 allow setting of all imaginable
combinations of levels and formats.
•
All subsequent tables use the following definitions:
„0“ = switch OFF, „1“ = switch ON and
„x“ = position not important
•
Switch settings refer to impulse inputs A / B only, but the
Control Input (terminal 10) provides always HTL / PNP format,
i.e. you must apply a positive voltage 10 – 30 volts to activate
the function
•
Where you use 2-wire sensors with NAMUR characteristics,
connect the positive pole of the sensor to the corresponding
input terminal, and the negative pole to GND
•
Where subsequently you read (A) and/or (B), this indicates that
the inputs expect asymmetric signals and you will not need the
corresponding inverted signals
•
Where however you read (A and /A) or (B and /B), this indicates
that the inputs expect symmetric differential signals according
to RS422 standard, i.e. it is mandatory to apply also the
inverted signals
4.2.1.
Standard settings
If you just use encoders or sensors according to common industrial standards, and if also all
input signals should have the same level, you just can use one of the following three standard
settings and do not need to consider all further alternatives of switch settings.
