Industrial light sensor on PIFACE

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

hHi,

 

I am a real beginner with the PiFace. I have a glue about Software, but not about Hardware so far. I wanted to connect via PIFACE the digital Output contacts of a industrial light sensor (12 V DC ) to the PIFACE. Has anyone experience how to do this? Thanks upfront for the Support.

    Can you post a link to the device ?

     

    12 V DC is somewhat vague. I guess it's the voltage required by the device, but it can be a digital 12V output on a light threshold to drive a relay, or and analog 12V output pin to read the light, that makes little sense but industrial devices are somewhat different, and I know Omron and Durus make PLCs with 12V inputs so it may be a sensor capable of driving one of those PLCs.

     

    A link to the device or its name, and what you want to do with it can help us to know your needs.
