POWER REAM

*

Sinking Output: 0V when active

Sourcing Output: +24V when active

Active Low Input: 0V when activated

Active High Input: +24V when activated

Fanuc robots use the following output methods

Process I/O: Sink Output

Terminal I/O: Source Output

Model A I/O: Source Output

I/O Explanation

The terms sinking and sourcing define the direction of DC current flow in a load.

A sinking output provides a path to 0V for the load. Common terms used to describe sinking devices

include NPN, Open Collector, Active Low and IEC Negative Logic. An active low input is connected to

the positive supply (+24V) to detect a sinking output.

A sourcing output provides the power to the load. Common terms used to describe sourcing devices

include PNP, Open Emitter, Active High and IEC Positive Logic. An active high input is connected to 0V

to detect a sourcing output.

Factory set options: Active high robot input. Sinking robot output.
