Open Collector
Open collector circuits (the upper circuit in Figure C.3) require close
attention so that the input voltage is sufficient to produce the
necessary source current, since it is limited not only by the
1771-VHSC input resistors but also the open collector pull-up.
Jumper position provides some options as shown in the table below.
Supply Voltage verses Jumper Settings
Supply Voltage Jumper Setting Total Impedance Available Current
+12 JPR4 3.15K 3.2mA (insufficient)
+12 JPR5 2.15K 4.65mA (insufficient)
+24 JPR4 3.15K 7mA (optimal)
+24 JPR5 2.15K 10.2mA (okay)
In this example, you must increase the supply voltage above +12V to
make sure there is sufficient input current to overcome the additional
2K source impedance. Note that there is insufficient current with the
jumper in the 12-24V position and a +12V supply.
