    Erm I wouldn't be.? It's using 5V signal from BOB it would be better if you run 24v thru the switches and have it thru relay like you have the Fault. Then just return the 5V signal thru relay contacts. 24V will keep the switches clean and less noise immune.

    Why not use NPN and the 12V on the PMDX to get around this.? Think the PMDX inputs can handle upto 33V but not sure about the amps.!!

    With the fault your not sending anything in just breaking or returning the signal.
