Considerations When Connecting the Digital I/O
Wiring an Isolated Input to a Sourcing Output Device
Do not apply a voltage greater than 30 VDC to the isolated inputs. Doing so could

damage CVS-1450 device.
Wiring an Isolated Output to an External Load
Caution
Do not draw more than 100 mA from 24 V or 30 V isolated outputs. Do not draw
more than 50 mA from 5 V isolated outputs.
NI CVS-1450 Series User Manual
The isolated trigger inputs on the CVS-1450 device are current sinking
and optically isolated. Figure 4-6 shows the trigger input interface circuit.
You can wire an isolated input to a sourcing output device, as shown in the
example in Figure 4-5. Refer to Appendix B, Specifications, for switching
thresholds and current requirements.
