Help with Inductive Sensor.

Apr 26, 2006 2 Replies

I'm trying to connect a 3-wire NPN inductive sensor, 10 to 30v, and I need to get a 5v output. If someone has an idea on how to do that or a schematic showing how to wire it.



If possible email me at snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com



Thank you for your help.



Nope, post message here, read message here

The NPN specification on a sensor often means that the output is open-collector and pulls to ground. This can drive any 5 volt logic circuit with a simple pull-up resistor to +5 volts.
