Matrox Iris E-Series uses this information to connect to specified network resources (for example, to map a network drive on your Matrox Iris E-Series).

  • Page 104 +24 V Matrox Iris Each of the sink drivers of your Matrox Iris E-Series uses a 100 mA fuse to protect it from connected external devices. The fuse allows your Matrox Iris E-Series to connect to an external device that requires more current than a typical TTL driver...

  • Page 106 Matrox Iris E-Series must be connected directly to the NPN-compatible PLC device’s ground. In addition, an output signal of your Matrox Iris E-Series must be connected to the device’s sinking input. You should connect the ground of the NPN-compatible PLC device and the ground of your Matrox Iris E-Series to a common ground.
  • Page 107 PNP-compatible PLC devices expect to be connected to a device that can provide power (a sourcing device) and your Matrox Iris E-Series is a sinking device. Therefore, connect an output signal of your Matrox Iris E-Series and the sourcing input to an external resistor pull-up.
  • Page 108 In addition, you should connect the positive side (cathode) of the load to a +24 V power supply. When the Matrox Iris E-Series output signal is enabled, the negative side of the load is reduced to 0 V, and 24 V appears across the circuit.
  • Page 109 C o n n e c t i n g t o a s t r o b e d e v i c e To connect your Matrox Iris E-Series to a strobe device, connect your Matrox Iris E-Series output signal directly to the strobe device. The Ring LED activates when the connected Matrox Iris E-Series output signal is enabled (on).
  • Page 110 C o n n e c t i n g t o a T T L d e v i c e To connect your Matrox Iris E-Series to a TTL device, you must first connect an external resistor pull-up between them. The external resistor pull-up is needed because TTL devices expect to be connected to a device that can provide power (a sourcing device) and your Matrox Iris E-Series is a sinking device.
  • Page 111 Each of the input signals of your Matrox Iris E-Series is TTL-compatible. The Matrox Iris E-Series input signals will be enabled (on) when the voltage applied is greater than 2 V. The Matrox Iris E-Series input signals will be disabled (off ) when voltage is lower than 0.8 V.
