Input/Output Module

DC and AC input module

Connection of field inputs to input module
Connection of output field device with
sinking output module
Connection of output field device with
sourcing output module
Sinking device with sourcing input module circuit.
• The field device is on the
negative side 0f the power
supply between the supply
and the input terminal.
• When the field device is
activated.
• The input sinks current from
the input module circuit.
• Module is source of current
to the sensor, which makes
the module sourcing input.
• The sensor has NPN
transistor as its switching
device.
Sourcing device with sinking input module
circuit.
• The field device is on
the positive side of the
power supply.
• Between the supply
and the input terminal.
• When the field device
is activated, it sources
current to the input
circuit.
• Sourcing sensor has
(PNP transistor) as
input.
Sinking field with sourcing output module
circuit.
• The field device is on
the negative side of the
power supply between
the supply and the
output terminal.
• When the output is
activated. it sources
current to the field
device.
• A current source
output uses a PNP
transistor.
Sourcing device with sinking output module
circuit
• The field device is on
the positive side of the
power supply
between the supply
and the output
terminal.
• When the output is
activated, module
sinks current from the
field device.
• A current sink output
uses an NPN transistor.
Types of output module
 TTL output module
• Semiconductor switch
• Fast switching
• Switches a small current and has long life
• Works with DC supply
 Relay output module
• Known as dry contact outputs
• Can switch a large current
• Short lifetime
• Works with AC ord DC
• And used to control motors and starters,
variable drives
 Traic output module
• Semiconductor switch
• used to control device operating on AC signal
