MTL5510B
SWITCH/ PROXIMITY
DETECTOR INTERFACE
4-channel, multi-function, digital input
The MTL5510B enables four solid-state outputs in the safe area to
be controlled by up to four switches or proximity detectors located
in a hazardous area. Each pair of output transistors shares a common
terminal and can switch +ve or –ve polarity signals. A range of module
configurations is available (see Table 1) through the use of selector
switches. These include start/stop operations and pulse output modes.
