state
Current (I

= 500 µA) also flows in "0" state of the PLC output for component-
related reasons.
If resistive loads with high input impedance (> 15 kOhm) and a low-level lower
switching threshold are operated directly (without an interconnected relay) on
the PLC output, a shunt resistor may be necessary under certain
circumstances. Typical values of the shunt resistor are e.g. 5 kOhm or 10
kOhm. The voltage at the output in "0" state should be clearly (approx. 50 %)
below the lower switching threshold of the resistive load.
Calculation example—Resistive load does not require shunt resistor:
Reversing load relay directly on PLC output, data sheet specifications:

Switching threshold "1" state U

In "0" state of the output, the voltage drop has to be less than 9.6 V. Calculation

in "0" state at the output:
With 4 V, the voltage drop is clearly below the switching threshold for the "0"
state (9.6 V). The reversing load relay can be operated directly at the PLC
output.

Min. output voltage for "1" signal 3 V below supply voltage
PLC outputs must neither be connected to a 24 V supply, nor to other PLC
outputs with a difference in potential. Otherwise, the voltage present at the
PLC outputs is transmitted to the power supply. As a result, the PLC
outputs that can be switched off may nevertheless be supplied with this
voltage.
