Follow these steps to learn how to read an input signal.

Configuration

Inputs can respond to sourcing signals (PNP, switch closure to +24) or sinking signals (NPN, switch closure to ground). Examine your sensors and determine if the controller inputs need to respond to sourcing or sinking type. It is simplest if the sensors are all the same type. If the sensors are not a all the same type contact support for additional information to support your particular sensor configuration.

If you have sinking inputs then wire "In Comm" (Input Common) to 24 volts and your sensor to the input:

If you have sourcing inputs then wire "In Comm" (Input Common) to return and your sensor to the input:
