An Example of a 24Vdc Output Card (Sinking)<br />

In this example the outputs are connected to a low current light bulb (lamp) <strong>and</strong> a<br />

relay coil. Consider the circuit through the lamp, starting at the 24Vdc supply. When the<br />

output 07 is on, current can flow in 07 to the COM, thus completing the circuit, <strong>and</strong> allowing<br />

the light to turn on. If the output is off the current cannot flow, <strong>and</strong> the light will not<br />

turn on. The output 03 for the relay is connected in a similar way. When the output 03 is<br />

on, current will flow through the relay coil to close the contacts <strong>and</strong> supply 120Vac to the<br />

motor. Ladder logic for the outputs is shown in the bottom right of the figure. The notation<br />

is for an Allen Bradley <strong>Control</strong>Logix. The output card (’O’) is in a rack labelled ’sue’ in<br />

slot 2. As indicated for the input card, it is good practice to define <strong>and</strong> use an alias tag for<br />

an output (e.g. Motor) instead of using the full description (e.g. sue:2.O.Data.3). This card<br />
