Question : What output do I need? NPN or PNP? Answer: This is determined by the device you are connecting the sensor to. Most ADC PLC modules (except 305 series) allow NPN or PNP sensors to be connected. Note: Sinking = provides a path to supply common () Sourcing = provides a path to supply source (+)
