Greetings all; Peter in particular,
This is my first try at utilizing a prox switch, and while the led on it responds just fine on 12 volts, I measure around 6 volts on the blue wire when its off, and only 7.1 volts when its fired. With +12.0 volts on the red wire. These are "PNP" switches. So I'm assuming my 10 meg meter is not enough load to pull it down when its off. So what value of loading R to common is needed to make it properly register to a field input of a 7i76 useing a 12 volt field power src? Is that 7 volts enough to make a field input reliably see a logic one? Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
