Wiring Outputs
Before we discuss the output conditions, we need to talk about the circuitry. All three
1240i outputs are optically isolated. That means that there is no electrical connec-
tion between the indexer-drive and the output terminals. The signal is transmitted
to the output as light. What you “see” is a transistor (NPN type) that closes, or
conducts current, when the output is “low”. When the output is high, the transistor
is open.
Note: At power-up, the 1240i sets all three programmable outputs high (open cir-
cuit).
Since there is no electrical connection to the 1240i, you must provide the source of
current and voltage, typically from a power supply. You must also limit the current to
less than 100 mA so that the output transistor is not damaged. You would normally
use a resistor for this, but some loads (such as PLC inputs) limit the current auto-
matically.
The diagram below shows how to connect an 1240i output to an optically isolated
PLC input.
Schematic Diagram of 1240i Output Circuit
The maximum voltage between any pair of + and - output ter-
minals is 24 volts DC. Never connect AC voltages to the 1240i
output terminals. Maximum current is 100 mA per output.

Connecting an Input to the Si-1 Motion Output
(Set Si-1 motion signal to “in position”. Si-1 will trigger 1240i at end of each move).
Connecting a 3540i, Si3540, Si5580, 7080i or Si4500
(When output closes, 1240i input goes low).
Connecting an NPN Type Proximity Sensor to a 1240i input
(When prox sensor activates, 1240i input goes low).
Connecting a PNP Type Proximity Sensor to a 1240i input
(When prox sensor activates, 1240i input goes low).
