External Output ON/OFF
* The common side and the +output terminal are set to the same potential. Please use the floating control voltage without grounding, or set the common of your equipment to the same potential. If you do not follow it, the power supply cannot be controlled properly and may cause malfunction. When using a multi-channel Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or non-isolated PLC, note that there is a possibility of connection to other device grounds through the PLC.
- Sink current 1mA
- Logic of OUTPUT can be made reverse.
Output Control
(Voltage, Current, Overvoltage protection, Overcurrent protection)Output Monitor
(Voltage, Current)* Output control external signal should not be grounded but floating potential. + output terminal and common become same potential. Power supply can not be controlled or could be damaged if common is grounded via way of customer's equipment. Please be aware that external control voltage signal could accidentally be connected to the ground of other equipment in case, for example, multi-channel, non-isolated PLC is in use.
