Accessories for inductive contacts

• amplifier, to «translate» the value of current

consumption into a binary ON/OFF signal.

• relais or PNP output, switching according to the status

of the inductive contact.

• The electrical parameters of the amplifier have to

correspond with the inductive contacts, to built
intrinsically safe circuits.
