mckruger Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi im trying to make use of the relay outputs on the V200-18-E1B card. V0 is connected to negative V1 is connected to positive or (V2 of pnp/npn outputs) Im using a 12v led light as a test and it works fine using normal outputs(O10p) Is there something else im missing so that i can use the Relay Outputs... Kind Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted October 9, 2013 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm guessing V0 is a type - 0V is supposed to be connected to the negative of the supply. V1 must be connected to the power supply + to power the internal relay coils. This does not supply power to the contacts - you must provide that yourself externally. A test light will light on the PNP output O10p because power comes from within the module. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2014 Simon Posted October 9, 2013 MVP 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 In addition to the point that Joe mentions: Can you hear the relays click? I note you are using a 12V test LED. This may be just what you had on hand for testing, but note that the module requires 24V on V1 and V2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe T. 0V is connected to negative power source V1 is connected to positive power source Then on relay output O5 it has its own 2 connections. 1 for Negative input and 1 for Positive output Ive connected a negative incoming to O5 negative terminal.

The normal outputs can run on 12v as i have tested those. Does the relay outputs need 24v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
