Sample outputs
's optoisolated bi-directional switched outputs can drive small loads (50 mA max), PLC inputs, or relays
that can control higher current loads. Figure below illustrates one method of controlling a remote
warning lamp using power supplied by 's +24 VDC Auxiliary Power output. Remember to size current-
limiting resistor, R1, so that the current draw does not exceed 50 mA.

Figure 4-14 output driving warning lamp

Figure below illustrates a method for controlling a higher voltage, higher current load by using a 24 V
control relay. Ensure that the relay coil's pull-in current does not exceed 50 mA. A diode or surge sup-
pressor must be installed across the relay coil to prevent voltage spikes from damaging outputs.

Figure below illustrates how 's outputs can drive the DC Input Module of a Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC). By supplying voltage (+VDC) to Pin 13, Output Common, each output is independently
switched to activate individual PLC inputs.
