Figure 10.5 Input wiring

(a)DC input

1] When all input terminals (X0, X1, ...) and the common terminal (C) are loaded with 24 VDC, the input becomes ON status, and approximately 7.5 mA of current flows to the external input contacts.

2] For sensors such as a proximity switch or photoelectric switch, current output type (transistor open collector) can be connected directly. For voltage-output-type sensors, connect them to the input terminal after first going through the transistor.

3] Take measures to prevent faulty contact in a strong electric contact.

The current that flows to a contact when external contacts are closed is approximately 7.5 mA. If a strong electric contact must be used, add resistance as shown in the diagram at left and supply sufficient current to the contact to prevent a faulty contact.

4] Limit the wiring length within 30 m.

5] Multiple number of common terminals located at each input section are not connected internally. Make the connections externally as needed.

6] There are no RUN and STOP switches for the 10-point type. Connect with the RUN input terminal according to the above connection procedure so that RUN and STOP can be performed. Operation cannot be performed unless this connection is done.

(b)AC input

In case of AC input module, input voltage may exist if input wiring is long although no device drives. This phenomenon is caused from leakage current due to floating capacitance between lines.

The countermeasures are [1] or [2] as follows. This voltage due to electrostatic coupling must be half of max. OFF voltage or less.

[1]To install dummy resistor in parallel so that impedance of input module is lower.

[2]To replace power supply at drive (external device) side.
