I know I have saturated this forum but I got myself in a tough situation. This will be my last thread. But I have attached to JPEGs.

My question for the first diagram is, if the PLC outputs are rated at 50Ma candle it handle powering this limit switch which has a current load of 0-200Ma?

I KNOW MY JPEG SAYS 0-100Ma BUT I'M NOW LOOKING AT ANOTHER ONE.SORRY!

My Last question is pertaining to the second diagram.
Im I run a Photosensor, which has a Max output current of 250Ma, in series which the prox switch, How do I know the Photo Sensor wont draw too much current through the Prox switch? The prox switch specs only state the Load current,but I dont know how that applies to its max capacity. By the way Im doing this so that the when the door opens the prox switch will turn cut power to the Photo Sensor. I may not have authority to use the PLC so Im trying to figure out both ways to do it.

Thank You.
