3. PNP switching logic used
PNP sensor
PNP input
Source current
Sink current
Signal
If a sensor is connected to the input stage of a PLC, the input stage detects the state that the sensor is in (on or off). The prerequi
-
site is that the PLC features the same switching logic as the sensor.
When a PNP sensor is connected to a PNP input,
current flows from the sensor to the input. This means that a PNP input
must lower the current at the location where a PNP sensor draws current
Caution:
In the reverse case, an NPN sensor lowers current and an NPN input draws current.
