Hello All,
I have a seemingly simple question. I have a Turck AC powered inductive proximity sensor. The load has to be connected in series with the power leg of the sensor, this being the case, how can one sense the input to a PLC? I can connect a lamp in series with the sensor and watch it operate but I am lost as to how to create an input signal to a PLC. I was thinking I could use a AC relay, however I am trying to use the prox to count the links of an iron conveyor chain, so the relay would not have much life with it continuing to cycle on an off.
Thanks
