Hello,
I have a question, in which I think I know the answer, but I have to ask as I have never heard it asked or even seen it done before. From what I know ( which isnt much ) it doesnt seem plausible but I would like to hear different opinions.
Question: Lets say that I have a unit that provides an open collector pulse output. I also have another piece of equipment, a PLC that accepts a 0-5v scaling. I have heard that if you use a 250Ω pull down resistor that you can actually turn it into a 0-5v input. I understand that this is the case for a analog ckt, but an open collector pulse? Can someone either confirm or deny, and if it is a confirmation, please elaborate, thank you for your time.
*note* I am only interested in my question above, any input regarding the ability to change my output to what I would need my PLC to see has already been taken care of. Thank you for your concern.
