My input card needs a -24vdc input. I need to add a bypass selector switch. I took -24vdc to switch then out to plc input. I got no signal. To jerry rig it, I came off of my selector switch with -24vdc to the common terminal of a relay and under the same terminal to the plc input. I then took +24vdc to coil of relay. This works but looks like **** and I dont need the relay. A little enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
