Configuring for Output By turning all four of its threshold-setting switches OFF, a channel is configured as an output channel.

Installation

After the switches have been configured, the installation for this Plug-on is common to several others and is covered in Chapter 1 of your VXI Module User's Manual.

Connecting To The Terminal Module

To get started on field wiring to the VT1536A SCP you'll need to know that input-configured channels ARE POLARIZED. That is the H terminal must be driven positive relative to the L terminal. Output-configured channels are not polarized. For more information see “Input and Output Characteristics” on page 7.

The SCP connections for the Terminal Modules are shown on the self-adhesive labels that come with the SCP. Use these to label terminal definitions on your terminal module. The connections are shown in Figure 2.
