Wiring PNP Sensor to PLC HD

More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. http://accautomation.ca/heres-a-quick-way-to-wire-npn-and-pnp-devices/ We will show the wiring of a PNP sensor into a PLC. The proxomity sensor is a Sick. Here is a link for the specifications. https://www.sick.com/us/en/im-standard/im12-04bps-zwb/p/p235499 The PLC is a Omron CP1H. Here is a link for additional information on the PLC. http://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-system-hardware/ Wiring a three wire DC sensor is a matter of determining what kind of output that you have. The two types are NPN and PNP. NPN is referred to sinking the load or negative switching. PNP is referred to sourcing the load or positive switching. In the video we wire up a PNP proximity sensor. The load for the proximity sensor is the input of the PLC. We switch the load to the positive side, so that means that the common on the PLC sits at 0VDC. PNP sensor has three wires: Brown - +24VDC Black - Switching Wire Blue - 0VDC In our case the PLC load appears between the input point (Black) and common (Blue). The positive voltage (Brown) is connected to +24VDC. Wiring PNP Sensor to PLC https://youtu.be/nP33k5e_Y-k Acc Automation http://accautomation.ca/
