    I think you are refering to PNP or NPN which relates to either sink or source, IOW you can have a input device that sources (PNP) that switches the positive rail into a sinking input.
    Or with NPN, vice-versa, switches to the common or - rail into a source type input.
    By input, I am refering to a PLC type input card.
    P.S. turn your caps off, it is equivalent of shouting.
