3. I/O Application Precautions

3.1 Application precautions for input signals

(1) Minimum ON/OFF time of the input signal
The following conditions guarantee correct reading of the ON/OFF state of the input
signal:
Input ON time: ON delay time + the time for one scan
Input OFF time: OFF delay time + the time for one scan
The ON and OFF times of the input signals must be longer than these intervals.
(2) Increasing the contact current
The reliability of some conta cts cannot be guaranteed by the specified input current. In
this case, install an external bleeder resistor to increase the contact current.

!WARNING Configure emergency stop and safety interlocking circuits outside the
T1-16S. Otherwise, malfunction of the T1-16S can cause injury or serious
accidents.
