ABSTRACT:
A circuit for a switch which receives an input from a sensor head (18) such as a proximity sensor, limit switch, or other type of condition-responsive sensor. In its most complex form the circuit includes a power supply/regulator (24), an output load current source (12), an output load current sink (14), input logic (16) to receive the signal from the sensing head, a selector (10) to determine whether the source and sink will be normally open or normally closed, and a device (26) for checking the outputs for faults and indicating the presence of such. Other circuits include certain combinations of these parts or variations of these parts.
