Advantech USB-4750 Isolated Digital I/O Connections, 1 Dry/Wet Contact Support for Digital Input

3.3 Isolated Digital I/O Connections

3.3.1 Dry/Wet Contact Support for Digital Input

Each digital input channel accepts either dry contact or 0 ~ 5 VDC wet contact inputs. Dry contact capability allows the channel to respond to changes in external circuitry (e.g., the closing of a switch in the external circuitry) when no voltage is present in the external circuit. Figure 3-1 shows external circuitry with both wet and dry contact components, con- nected as an input source to one of the card's digital input channels.
