[0002] With the continuous development of industrial automation, in recent years, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have won people's favor with their unique advantages such as high reliability, strong adaptability, good flexibility, simple programming, and easy to master. In a PLC control system, as the main control device, the PLC is necessarily connected to various input signals (such as buttons, limit switches, toggle switches, contacts of relays, and other detection signals) and output devices (such as relay coils, contactor coils, solenoid valves, etc.) in the control object. In actual work, due to the limitation of the scale of the PLC application system, the number of PLC I / O points is often insufficient. In order to expand the I / O points of the in-use PLC to meet the usage requirements, selecting a terminal block is an effective way to improve the performance-price ratio of the control system. By setting a changeover switch, it is possible to switch between NPN and PNP modes.
