6.3 Trigger Output Option
There is an optional trigger output which is opto-isolated. The opto-isolator only isolates voltages
up to 50V.
Signal
TRGO –ve
TRGO +ve
The trigger output circuit is as follows:
The trigger output can be used to switch a signal of up to 24V, switching up to 20mA when on.
When the output is logic 1 (on) a current of up to 20mA can flow. The maximum current must be
limited to 50mA by the external circuit. The forward voltage is less than 2V.
When the output is logic 0 (off) a voltage of up to 24V can be blocked.
6.3.1 Ethernet Option
The Ethernet connection is 10BaseT operating at 10Mbits per second.
6.3.2 Serial Option
The RS232 connections are as follows. The communications port should be set to 115Kbaud, no
parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Connecting to the specified pin on a 9-way female D-type will allow straight through connection
to a PC COM port.
