Specification Summary

Parameter	Specification
Power Requirements
Vo	User-supplied voltage that drives output circuitry.
	Vo does not affect input circuitry, so it is not
	necessary for the VM24-IN.
Vo Range	5-24VDC
Vo Current	144mA, plus the sum of the load currents outputs
	that are in sourcing mode.
V i	User-supplied voltage that drives input circuitry &
	determines switching levels for inputs. Does not
	affect output circuitry, so it is not necessary for
	the VM24-OUT.
Vi Range	5-24VDC
Vi Current	1.5mA per volt of Vi
	(e.g., 15mA for Vi=10V)
+5V	Supplied by the 6000 Series Controller/Indexer
	through the 50-pin ribbon cable to connector J4.
	The VM24 draws 0.25mA per active output and
	0.5mA per active input. Also provides the
	+5V output power available through the
	VM24 screw terminal block J5.

Switching levels ....... LOW ≤ 1/3 (Vi )

HIGH ≥ 2/3 (Vi)

Voltage Range.......... 0-24V. Voltage of input signals should not

exceed voltage level of Vi. (Input circuitry of VM24 has diodes to protect against voltages that exceed Vi, but performance may degrade.)

Sinking Current:....... Connect jumper for desired socket to position 3

(default)

Sourcing Current: ..... Connect jumper for desired socket to position 1

4 VM24 I/O Module
