Connecting examples

Examples will explain how zetaScout can be connected for monitoring workplace or equipment.

Connecting binary inputs to any 12-48v DC signal source

Signal source can be PLC output, relay coil voltage or any PNP or NPN sensor output. zetaScout device have 4 binary, optically isolated inputs. Each input supports up to 2khz input frequency. Each binary input current consumption are limited to 2.5ma or less.
