3.3.3. CONNECTING THE STATUS OUTPUTS

Most PLCs have internal provisions for limiting the current the input will draw. When connecting to
a unit that does not have this feature, external resistors must be used to limit the current through
the individual transistor outputs to ≤50mA (120 Ω for 5V supply).

The analyzer's status outputs are accessed through a 12-pin connector on the analyzer's
rear panel labeled STATUS. They are used to interface with a device that accepts closed-
contact digital inputs, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC's).
