djanderson Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi, I am working on a project to control a press. As a safety feature, I am using Optical thumb buttons to activate the press. Specifically, the Banner OTBVN6 model. Here is the data sheet http://info.bannerengineering.com/cs/groups/public/documents/literature/28436.pdf. There is a Blue (-VDC), a Brown (+VDC), and 2 signal wires. I'm using the black signal wire. When I hook the Blue and Brown wires directly to my 24VDC power supply, I see power to the switch, and I can confirm switch operation through LEDs on the switch itself. When I hook the signal wire in to the PLC the only way I can get the bit to flip is if I use a wire to connect the signal wire to +VDC. I cannot get the bit to flip when the switch is activated. I would love some direction on how to properly hook up the PLC to the switch. I've tried every configuration I can think of and still get it to work. Thanks in advance, Darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Look at the installation guide. There's a jumper you need to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
