Hello community
I have a USB 6001 Ni card in a program that will drive a Opto22 G4 relay to turn a motor on and off using a digital output
The problem I am having is the output of the 6001 about 3.3 volts ( high) dosent have enough current to Switch the relay
if I connect the relay ( opto22 G4) up to a simple 5Vdc power source then the relay switches solid but with the USB6001 there is not quite enough power to do this .
Can anyone provide me with an inexpensive solution that will provide enough power to switch this relay ?
I think the opto22 G4 relay requires 12Ma to switch and the Ni usb6001 card will only provide 4 ma
your thoughts ?
thanks
