2.4.6.3.2. Active Input
Selecting the inputs as active (Figure 2-70) enables connection of switches or other simple devices
to trigger an input. No voltage is supplied by the external simple device.
An example of how to wire to the active inputs is shown in Figure 2-63.
2.4.6.3.3. Passive Input
Selecting the inputs as passive (Figure 2-70) enables other devices such as PLCs to provide the
trigger voltage (typically 12 VDC or 24 VDC, maximum 30 VDC) to turn the IND246 inputs "on".
An example of wiring to the passive inputs with the +V to the common is shown in Figure 2-64.
