How Do I Wire a Contact Closure to the Response Analog I/O Gateway?
Issue
I have an On/Off contact closure that I want to use with my Response Analog I/O Gateway as an input.
Explanation of Issue
The Response Analog I/O Gateway can accept any 10V input as a closure or measured value. If your contact is a "dry" contact and does not provide its own 10V, the Gateway's +10V can be used.
Solution
Dry Contact (no voltage provided by contact)
- Land one side of the contact to the desired input number.
- Land the other side of the contact to the Gateway's +10V
Wet Contact (10V provided by contact)
- Land one side of the contact to the desired input number.
- Land the other side of the contact to the COM next to the input
