I have a machine with a dl05 with +24vdc common. input card is d2-16nd3-2 The machine feeds a fairly thin uninsulated steel wire. Sometimes, the steel wire buckles if there's a kink, or an obstruction. I was wondering if I can connect an input wire (x0) directly to an insulated metal plate, so if this wire touches this plate, the signal will ground through the wire and stop the machine. I 've seen these types of setups before, but ive never actually did the wiring, and I'm just a little scared of shorting something out. I'm thinking that i need a resistor for a load. any help is appreciated. thanks
