Digital Input Button

[Tristren]

Hi there,

I’d like to add a physical button to trigger a feed pause. I think that the programming using a digital input looks pretty straightforward. But how do I go about actually wiring one up?

They have plenty of waterproof push buttons online. So how do I connect one of those to a PL-ADIN card?

Cheers, Tony

Hi,

You have to wire you button between PIN 2 and PIN 8 for Digital input 1

Ok, that helps thanks, but I think I'll need to see it to reall understand the setup.
And towire up anything I'll need one of the terminal adapters shown here?
