INDUCTIVE & CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SWITCH

CURRENT SOURCE AND CURRENT SINK

DC Proximity sensors are made to interface with solid state controllers such as Programmable Controllers (PLC's). The inputs described in the instructions manuals of these devices often ask for a Current Source or Current Sink input.

NPN type sensors are designed to be a Current Sink device. Current from the controller is supplied to the sensor and it will "sink" the current to the ground when the sensor is activitated.

PNP type sensors are designed to be a Current Source device. Current is supplied from the sensor as a "source" to the controller when the sensor is activitated.
