Frequently asked questions

What type of output does the Allen Bradley 42KL-P2TC-G3 sensor receiver have?

The Allen Bradley 42KL-P2TC-G3 sensor receiver features a PNP output. This means that when the beam is detected (or interrupted, depending on configuration), the output line is connected to the positive supply voltage (VDC), making it suitable for PLC inputs that source current.
