Im attempting to integrate a machine into a production line. The master machine has a terminal box with 1734 point i/o all pnp inputs 1734-IB8. The slave machine has its own controls and power supply that are npn style outputs. What would be the best option to get npn outputs from the slave machine to the master. I have seen the input card option 1734-IV8. Not sure if this will cause issues with two different power supplies feeding each machine. Would the common side of each power supplied have to be linked together for a common refferance signal?
I would appreciate an suggestions.
