Hi everyone,
I need to make a simple program switch for an encloure on a Keyence IXH vision controller. Currently it only runs one program, but I need an operator switchable program change. Supply to the controller is 24 VDC from PLC power supply. The user manual for the controller specifies this for PNP inputs:
"For voltage input: Maximum input rating 26.4 V, ON voltage 18 V or higher, OFF current
0.2 mA or lower, ON current 2 mA (for 24 V)"
I can specify within the controller that Input 1 ON will switch to program 2. My question is, in order to get power to the input lead, is it acceptable to use a simple Open/close toggle switch, tapped in from the supply power to supply the input lead? Do I need to be worried about current?
Thanks in advance.
