Re: Line sensors and solenoid breakouts
1. Power only. Signal goes to the DSC.
2. There are three ways to power your line sensors:
A: 20 amp breaker from the PD board (power and common only)
B: 12v through solenoid board (gets you nothing more than the above option, except you have to wire to those tiny pins instead of WAGO's)
C: 24v through solenoid board (gets you a stable 24v supply, at the weight expense of another solenoid module to run off a 24v supply, assuming you are either not using the solenoid board or are using 12v solenoids)
You can choose. I would go with A unless I had voltage stability issues or weight issues (those sensors weigh a whole 140 grams each!, with 3 that's a whole pound), at which point I would probably remove the sensor for lack of usefulness.
