    Note: The turn-off voltage for all resistors is less than 1V. Because through hole resistors are utilized, they cannot be easily replaced. If modification is necessary, Sealevel can do this for an additional charge. Important: The input circuits are not intended for monitoring 120-volt AC circuits.

  • Page 11: Output Ports (Form C Relays)

    40,41 Output Ports (Form C Relays) The PLC-16.PCI provides 8 Form C (SPDT) Electro-mechanical relays. These relays have three connections: Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and a Common. The relays are all de-energized at power-on. Data to the relays is latched by a write to the base+2 address.

  • Page 12: Direct Hardware Control

    Writing the Outputs The output ports are the only ports that can be written. The relays on a standard PLC-16.PCI are normally open. To close a relay a binary one (1) must be written to the appropriate bit. Reading the Outputs The relay ports can also be read to determine the status of the various relays.
