    Hello,

    I have an end effector that is equipped with NPN sensors. How can I use the EE1 and EE2 ports to use NPN input?

    Is it just the EE2 port that can work with NPN type (I see on the manual B-84194EN_04 page 53 default on R1-3 is 24V common, but switchable to 0V).

    If so Can RI4 and RI5 also be switched to 0V common? Or is the number of NPN devices compatible with the EE 1 and EE 2 port up to 3 max?

    If all fails with the EE ports, can the NPN sensors work with the IOs on the cabinet itself?


    If anyone can provide step by step instructions on how to setup and receive signals from NPN sensors on the CRX, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi what do you mean with NPN sensor? It ´s a sensor with an NPN output , and the output can be 24V or 0V? I don´t think you can connect the NPN output to a robot input or a PLC input.

    Can you tell us the sensor type? Is always better to check the Datasheet.

    This is the sensor: PSK 100 D6N from COVAL

    it is a vacuum switch, and its output is NPN.

    I ´ve found the PSK 100 sensor series but not the PSK100D6N. The PSK 100 series has PNP output.

    the one that was purchased says NPN. https://www.emicorp.com/item/PSK+100+D…-PSK100-Series/


    before requesting to purchase a PNP version of the sensor, i am just wondering if there is a way to make NPN work. So far to no avail.

    The last time I had to do any of this was when the CRX series was brand new, with the CRX-10, so this information might be outdated. But there was a system variable to set the Tool Connector to NPN or PNP mode (along with a few other things). Obviously, use this at your own risk...
