FAQ
Q1: What is the PN-7300?
A: The PN-7300 is a sensor output conversion unit that converts an NPN open-collector input signal into a PNP open-collector output.
Q2: Can the PN-7300 convert an NPN sensor to PNP output?
A: Yes. It installs between an NPN-output sensor and the input device to convert the NPN signal into a PNP signal.
Q3: Can the PN-7300 convert PNP output to NPN?
A: No. The PN-7300 is designed for NPN-to-PNP conversion. Use the NP-7398 for PNP-to-NPN conversion.
Q4: What power supply does the PN-7300 require?
A: It operates on 12–24 VDC ±10% with ripple of 10% or less.
Q5: What is the PN-7300 output rating?
A: It provides PNP open-collector output rated for source current up to 80 mA at 30 VDC or less.
Q6: What is the current consumption?
A: Current consumption is 10 mA or less.
Q7: What are the cable lengths?
A: The input-side cable is 500 mm long and the output-side cable is 2000 mm long. Both use 0.15 mm² × 3-core cable.
Q8: What applications is the PN-7300 suitable for?
A: It is suitable for sensor replacement, equipment maintenance, interface standardization, and connecting NPN-output sensors to equipment requiring PNP inputs.
Q9: Does the PN-7300 have short-circuit protection?
A: No. Short-circuit protection is not provided, and short-circuiting the output may damage the output transistor.
Q10: What are the protection rating and operating temperature?
A: The PN-7300 is rated IP64 and operates from -25 to +55°C under non-freezing conditions.
