Page 30 Specifications Acquisition Trigger Input The reader features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. You can configure the acquisition trigger input to trigger from an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device. To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24 V DC and connect IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor.
Page 31 Specifications Number Output NPN OUT COMMON OUT For PNP lines, connect the external load between the output and the negative supply voltage (0 V DC). When connected to a 24 V DC power supply, the output pulls up greater than 21 V DC when ON, and current flows through the load. When the output is OFF, no current flows through the load.
Page 32 Specifications To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect one of the high-speed outputs of the reader directly to the PLC input. When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input up to greater than 21 V DC. To connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load, connect the negative side of the load to the output and the positive side to +24 V DC.
