What it represents

A sensor terminal organises supply, return and signal connections for a documented sensor wiring arrangement. Multilevel construction may separate the signal path from bridged supply potentials.

How to read it

  • Follow each level to the sensor's supply and output terminals.
  • The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

Information to show or reference

  • Identify signal level
  • Show supply bridges
  • Reference sensor conductor count

A distinction that matters

A sensor terminal's physical levels do not imply that all conductors are electrically common.
