3.3 Wiring the components

Wire the system components to the CPU 312C. This enables the CPU 312C to
detect and evaluate the state of the components with the help of the control pro-
gram.
• The momentary-contact switches are signal transmitters. You connect the sig-
nal transmitters to the input terminals of the CPU 312C. The input terminals
are labeled with "DI".
• The motor is the signal receiver. You connect the signal receiver to the output
terminals of the CPU 312C. The output terminals are labeled with "DO".
The entire control loop is connected to the power supply via the CPU 312C.
Preparing the cables
