Isolated Outputs

[lectrond]

Im interfacing a Baldor Servo Drive and am presently using a Smallplc single board with 7 relay outputs.  The Baldor has inputs for function selection which comes with its own common.  It is simple to run the common over to the commons of the relay outputs on the PLC and allow the contact closures to power the inputs.  The 1616+ outputs though, are shown to be internaly connected to the power supply 0 volt and "sink" coils and devices.  Is there a way to isolate a set of outputs, Like 9...16 and introduce a external common?

Thanks

If you use T100MX-3224R it comes with 8 relay outputs (2A 30VDC or 120VAC) that has its own common and is isolated from the PLC circuitry.

If you want to use T100MD1616+, then you will need to use external relays to get complete isolation. Note that if your driver employs opto-isolation on its input then there is no need to add additional isolation by relay.
