Digital input modules are wired for sink type. I have tried to connect a pullup resistor of 10k Ohm between the "Open-collector" and Vcc(+24V), and then connecting the open-collector terminal to PLC I0.0 terminal. But this wiring is not sensing the active state in the circuit. Is it possible to connect open collector input to CPU 224? Can anybody help me to correct the wiring scheme. P.S: All DI's in the module are working when testing individually Thanks, Samy

I have a Low Voltage monitoring relay (Solid state type) which gives out alarms in Open collector type terminals. I was advised to use pullup resistor to Vcc and then connect to Digital input. But it doesn't seem to work. So I need some more information about connecting to this open collector type signals to CPU 224.

The maximum allawable applied voltage accross open collector output transistor. 2. The maximum allawable sinking current through open collector output transistor.
