Yes.
For sourcing output, the relay coil is wired to (common or ground) and the output terminal.
For sinking output, the relay is wired to (voltage supply or hot) and the output terminal.

What is the difference between npn and pnp proximity sensors?
No worries. The important thing here is that this module is simply reading a voltage from the sensor with reference to the ground of that sensor. This means that this module is always going to be a sinking device, and will be always be sinking small amounts of current from that sensor. This means, that your sensor is going to be powered externally and we will simply be reading the output voltage from it. Here is a link to a knowledgebase article about sinking and sourcing current. I hope this helps to clarify.

Why is object code necessary?
Object code is necessary, because object code is the actual instructions, or machine language, that the computer executes. Object code is the output of the compiler, as it translates the higher level language into the machine language. It is also the output of the linker, as it combines object code modules from the compiler output and the various libraries in its process of building a fully linked load module.

Is thermocouple output linear?
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
Describe the difference between a sourcing input and a sinking input?
An NPN or sinking output accepts voltage and sinks it to ground to complete the circuit. A PNP or sourcing output sources voltage and the external circuit sinks it to ground to complete the circuit. A sourcing circuit would be drawn as voltage->switch->load->ground. A sinking circuit would be drawn as Voltage->load->switch->ground. In these cases, the switch could be a transistor.

What do you mean by sourcing and sinking?
A sourcing output supplies current or voltage to the load. The output would be hooked to one side of the load, and the other side is grounded. A sinking output works by pulling the voltage or current to ground. In this case, the load is connected to the 'hot' power supply terminal, and the other end is connected to the sinking output. When the output goes active ("goes low"), current flows from the power supply, through the load, then to ground via the output terminal. Sinking outputs are sometimes called 'open collector' outputs. You can visualize it this way: Take a light bulb and hook one lead to the chassis of your car. You just grounded the load. Now take a wire and hook it to the positive battery terminal. When you touch the battery wire to the bulb, it lights. You are 'sourcing' current to the bulb. Now, connect the bulb to the positive battery terminal. Take a wire and connect it to the car's frame (ground). The bulb already has a voltage supply - the positive battery terminal. When you touch the ground wire to the bulb, sinking current to ground, the bulb lights. The big deal here is IC's that sink current typically have much greater current capability than those with sourcing outputs. So why even bother with sourcing outputs? Their main claim to fame is the load can be ground-referenced, which is very desirable in some situations.
Difference between line driver and push pull circuit?
Line Driver A line driver is a sourcing output. When in the on state, a line driver will supply Vcc. In the off state, a line driver will float. Because of this, a sinking input is required for proper operation. Open Collector An open collector is a sinking output. In the off state, an open collector will supply a path to ground. When in the on state, an open collector will float. For proper operation, a sourcing input is required. Push-Pull A push-pull output is a combination of a line driver and an open collector. In the off state it will supply a path to ground and in the on state it will supply Vcc.

What is a GBIC expansion port?
A GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet port module, linking the module with a fiber-optic network.
Assume the triac of an ac output module fails in the shorted state how would this affect the device connected to this ouput?
If the triac of an ac output module fails in the shorted state, the device connected to the output would behave the same as if it had been connected directly to the ac power supply. It would run at full power and it would not be controllable.
