4.5 Discrete Input
The Discrete Input (DI) monitors the status of relays, solid-state
switches, or open collector devices. DI functions support discrete
latched inputs and discrete status inputs.
When a field device, such as a relay contact or open collector, is
connected across “+” and “–,” the closing of the contacts completes the
circuit which causes a flow of current between Vs and ground at
terminal “–.” This current flow activates and is sensed in the DI
circuitry that, in turn, signals the FB100 electronics indicating that the
relay contacts have closed. When the contacts open, current flow is
interrupted and the DI circuit signals to the FB100 electronics that the
relay contacts have opened.
You configure the selectable Pulse Inputs/Discrete Inputs as pulse
inputs using ROCLINK 800 software. Refer to Section 4.1.1.
