I bought wrong PLC - moxa e1212

Help a beginner brother out, please 🙏

I have a device that I want to control where the active state is 0 VDC and the idle state is >5 VDC. I have a 24v PSU.

It looks like I bought the wrong module — it has sink digital outputs. What’s my best option now? Should I replace it with something like the E1213 with source outputs, or is there a trick to make this work?

I’m still trying to understand how sink outputs actually work.
