Is this possible? I wish to use an NPN flow sensor with an Easy E4-UC-RC1.
Thank you

Hi Simon,
the controller can only pnp.
otherwise use an optocoupler, see drawing

Sincerely Wilhelm

... for my part I see no reason why the easy with pullup resistor and NPN transistor should not work!?! Only the input signal is inverted!

Das ist auch wunderbar! Vielen Danke! Mein optokoppler wird mehrere tage nicht ankommen. Ich werde diesen Pullup-Widerstand ausprobieren.

Hello Simon,
I am very happy that my suggestion helped you! You might want to tell us which resistors you used and how your circuit is now set up!?!

Best regards

I am using 1/2 watt 510 ohm resistor between the VCC and the input terminal. I will post pictures of the installation shortly!

I am using 1/2 watt 510 ohm resistor between the VCC and the input terminal. I will post pictures of the installation shortly!

In the following pictures are shown the input pullup resistor I am using for the NPN flowmeter input to the EASY input 1 for the frequency counter input, and the voltage divider bridge I am using for the 4 4-20mA level sensors serving the analog inputs 5-8.

The pin-out from left to right on the breakout terminal strip is as follows:
1. the output signal from the NPN flow sensor (with resistor from the +vcc terminal #3)
2. the -12vdc to the flow sensor
3. the +12vdc to the flow sensor, and the +vcc for the level sensors; jumped to terminal #4)
4. jumped +12vdc for the remaining level sensors
5-8 are -12vdc via a resistor bridge to the feedback side of the level sensors

The resistors are 1/2 watt 510 ohm.

Please lmk if you see any problems with this. It is currently functioning; seemingly without problems.

Thank you again for your guidance!

Simon
