9.1.2 Power Connection
If power is needed to operate the sensor, several termi-
nals exist on the 16AI, Multiflex boards, 8IO, that may be
used to supply DC power (see Figure 9-3 for 16AI and
MultiFlex power connections).
Input boards may supply 12VDC or 5VDC. To connect
to one of the DC power sources, simply connect the sen-
sor’s power wire to one of the terminals.
The maximum current that may be drawn from the
+12VDC terminal is 100 milliamps. The maximum cur-
rent that can be drawn from all three +5VDC terminals
COMBINED is 50 milliamps.
Specific wiring instructions for each type of sensor are
given in Table 9-1 on page 9-3.
