Definitely wait for the go-ahead from PCW on this one, but I think that it is safe to wire pulled-up 5V inputs to the output of an NPN prox that is powered from 24V field power. You can check using a 5V supply and a 2k pull-up (model of the encoder input) and the prox, to be sure that the output stays below the safe encoder input voltage. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
