Motor Controller and Sensors

Without reading everything about the NI controller it states that the I/O ports are TTL compatible and can sink or drive up to 24Ma. First thing that I notices was that the Banner instruments require an additional amplifier so to me that would exclude them.

The Honeywell sheet states that it is TTL compatible so there shouldn't be a problem connecting to the NI unit. That's pretty much all that matters about checking that the will work together.

The only other thing you need to consider is the power requirements of the sensor which is +5V and since the NI board also requires +5V this shouldn't be a problem either.

I hope that helps.

HOA2001-001 Honeywell switch requires 12 Vdc (see linked data sheet)

Actually the data sheet says that the operating supply voltage can be between 4.5V and 10V then it goes on to say that the supply voltage is 12VDC. That would indicate that 5V is within operating limits. However As the inputs of the board are TTL and most TTL logic is 5V than its probably a good idea to stick with a 5V supply to the sensor. Since the board requires 12V as well you can easily switch to it later if you find there are problems with it running on 5V.
