SINKING AND SOURCING
Two terms most frequently mentioned when
discussing connections to inputs or outputs are
“sinking” and “sourcing“. These two concepts
are very important in connecting a PLC correct
The most brief definition of these two
concepts would be:
SINKING = Common GND line (-)
SOURCING = Common VCC line (+)
First thing that catches one’s eye are “+” and “-” supply, DC supply. Inputs and
outputs which are either sinking or sourcing can conduct electricity only in one
direction, so they are only supplied with direct current.
According to what we’ve said thus far, each input or output has its own return
line, so 5 inputs would need 10 screw terminals on PLC controller housing.
Instead, we use a system of connecting several inputs to one return line as in
the following picture. These common lines are usually marked “COMM” on the
PLC controller housing.
Sinking and Sourcing are terms used to define the control of direct current
flow in a load. A sinking digital I/O (input/output) provides a grounded
connection to the load, whereas a sourcing digital I/O provides a voltage
source to the load.
Consider a simple circuit that consists of one digital input connected to a
digital output. The circuit needs a voltage source, a ground, and a load. A
sourcing digital I/O provides the voltage needed for the circuit. A sinking
digital I/O provides the ground needed in the circuit. The digital input
provides the load required for the circuit to work.
By applying the circuit principles to the four possible combinations of
input/output sinking/sourcing types, there are four circuits, as shown above.
The common terminal is the terminal that serves as the common return path
for all I/O points in the bank.
