Hi,
I read this on the Siemens website:
https://support.automation.siemens....objaction=csview&extranet=standard&viewreg=WW
(Click the Sinking / Sourcing FAQ question on that page)
To my understanding they have Sourcing and Sinking wrong when it comes to the Digital Inputs.
I've always thought of 'sourcing' as getting the 24V and 'sinking' as opening a channel to ground.
Am I wrong or has Siemens got their definition muddled up.
I've done a search on Google which seems to suggest that I'm right but I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something here....
Many thanks
;-)
