    Powering Discrete Inputs

    most of the systems i have worked on use relays to overcome this.. The MCC bucket steps down to 110. This is run to a relay cabinet in the MCC board. The relay is turned on and off by the PLC (Usually at 24vdc. This allows stock of standard parts no matter what voltage plc you are using...
