Two-Wire Connection

The two-wire connections states are shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Two-wire input connections.

Operation

A two-wire connection requires a jumper between

ON

and

COM

, which results in a default value of

ON

. If the switch

(AB) is open the state is

ON

and if it is closed the state is

OFF

.

Momentary Inputs

The following rules apply to momentary inputs:

• All state-changing pulses must be sustained for 100

milliseconds or more.

• A multistate (MI) object must be used to determine

which of the two states the input is in.

• This input configuration can generate two valid and

distinct states using digital values 0 and 4096,
representing 0 V and 5 V. A transition from

OFF

to

ON

state of the MI object toggles the corresponding

BV object. For example, changing the MI115 object
from

OFF

to

ON

toggles the BV115 object.

Maintained Inputs

A multistate object (MI) can be used to capture the

ON

and

OFF

states.

Viewing and Editing Switch
Status

The handheld LCD Programmer, cat. no. GLCHPK, can
be used to view and manually edit switch status. See
DEH41088, LCD Programmer Quick Start Guide, for a
description of the operation and menu sequence.

The available switches are listed in Table 2.
