Would it be wise / safe to split a 24vdc input from a switch to a PLC and relay?
I currently have 14 of the same type of equipment that each have an input switch wired to the inputs of a PLC. I'm looking to add indicator lights for each switch and I came up with 2 options:
1. Split the input to the PLC and relay, and use the relay to energize the indicator lights.
2. Add a Flex I/O and use the outputs to each of the indicator lights.
