FP-CTR-502 and cFP-CTR-502 6 ni.com
VIN is 21V or lower, and an OFF state when VIN is 22 V or higher.
The channel state is indeterminate when VIN is between 21 V
and22V.
Ensure that the sinking-output devices have OFF state leakage
currents of less than 0.3mA so they do not send false ON state
readings to the [c]FP-CTR-502.
Note You must use the same ground for all of the input
and output channels on the [c]FP-CTR-502.

Outputs
Each output channel has one output terminal, VOUT. Each channel
also has VSUP and COM terminals that can supply power to field
devices.
The [c]FP-CTR-502 has sinking outputs, which means that VOUT
provides a path to ground. You can connect the [c]FP-CTR-502
outputs to sourcing-input devices.
In the ON state, a transistor is turned on between the output (VOUT)
and common (C and COM). In the OFF state, this transistor is
turned off, allowing only a small leakage current to flow. Ensure
that the load on any output channel does not draw more than 1A.
