In either case, this example is similar to the Open Collector example and can
use the following equation assuming a 2.0V drop across D4 + Q2.

Output Circuits
The 1756-HSC module contains two isolated pairs of output circuits.
Customer supplied power, ranging from +5 to +24V DC, is connected
internally (through terminal Vcc) to the power output transistors. When an
output is turned on, current flows into the drain, out of the source, through
the fuse and into the load connected to the ground of the customer supply
(customer return). Diodes D5 and D6 protect the power output transistors
from damage due to inductive loads.
If local electrical codes permit, outputs can be connected to sink current. This
is done by connecting the load between the power supply + terminal and the
customer Vcc terminal on the field wiring arm. The output terminal is then
connected directly to ground (customer return). Note that this wiring method
does not provide inductive load protection for the power output transistors.
