You must also provide an acceptable grounding path for each device in your
application. For more information on proper grounding guidelines, see the
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1.
!
ATTENTION: Remove the protective wrap before applying
power to the controller. Failure to remove the wrap may cause
the controller to overheat.
Any MicroLogix 1000 DC inputs can be configured as sinking or sourcing
depending on how the DC COM terminal is wired.
Mode:
Definition:
Sinking
The input energizes when high-level voltage is applied to the input terminal
(active high). Connect the power supply VDC (–) to the MicroLogix DC COM
terminal.
Sourcing
The input energizes when low-level voltage is applied to the input terminal
(active low). Connect the power supply VDC (+) to the MicroLogix DC COM
terminal.
