To guarantee that a Matrox 4Sight EV6 auxiliary input can reliably replace a
Matrox 4Sight GPm auxiliary input, wired to a sinking field device, the pull-up
resistor value must allow sourcing a current of up to 2.25 mA thought the input.
In addition, there must be a voltage drop of at least 11 V across the
Matrox 4Sight EV6 AUX_INn+ and AUX_INn- pins. This verification is
required to ensure reliable operation in an industrial environment. If using 24 V,
then the pull-up resistor value must be less than 5.77 Kohms. If using a reference
voltage below 24 Vdc, the pull-up resistor value must be equal to or less than the
value given by the following formula:
