Figure 4.6 Output wiring
(a) Wiring for the relay output module
1] Life of relay contact
Life curve of relay contact
Switching life (10,000 times)
Life of the contact is also in squared reverse
proportion to the current, so be aware that
interrupting rush current or directly driving
the capacitor load will drastically reduce the
life of the relay.
When switching is done with high frequency,
use a transistor output unit.
Above: 20/40/64 points basic unit
40/64 points expansion unit
16 points expansion unit
Switching life (10,000 times)
Below: other than listed above
2] Surge killer
For inductive load, connect a surge killer (capacitor 0.1F, + resistance of around 100 ) in parallel to the
load. Also, for DC load, connect a flywheel diode.
3] Fuse
A fuse is not built in this module. Install a 6A fuse in the common to prevent the external wiring from
burning out. Install a 2A fuse in each independent contact output circuit.
