Chapter 11 Troubleshooting
11.4 Troubleshooting Examples
Possible troubles with various circuits and their corrective actions are explained.
11.4.1 Input circuit troubles and corrective actions
The followings describe possible troubles with input circuits, as well as corrective actions.
Input signal
doesn’t turn
off.
Leakage current of external device
(Such as a drive by non-contact switch)
Connect an appropriate register and
capacity, which will make the voltage lower
across the terminals of the input module.
CR values are determined by the leakage
current value.
− Recommended value C : 0.1 ~ 0.47 ㎌
R: 47 ~ 120 Ω (1/2W)
Or make up another independent display
circuit.
Input signal
doesn’t turn
off.
(Neon lamp
may be still
on)
Leakage current of external device
(Drive by a limit switch with neon lamp)
Input signal
doesn’t turn
off.
Leakage current due to line capacity of wiring
Locate the power supply on the external
device side as shown below.
Leakage current of external device (Drive by
switch with LED indicator)
Connect an appropriate register, which will make
the voltage higher than the OFF voltage across the
input module terminal and common terminal.
Sneak current due to the use of two
different power supplies.
Use only one power supply.
Connect a sneak current prevention diode.
