11.4.2 Output circuit and corrective actions
The following describes possible troubles with output circuits, as well as their corrective actions.

Load is half-wave rectified inside (in some
cases, it is true of a solenoid)
When the polarity of the power supply is as
shown in ①
, C is charged. W hen the polarity is
as shown in ②
, the voltage charged in C plus
the line voltage are applied across D. Max.
voltage is approx. 2√2.

pose a problem to the output element. But it may
make the performance of the diode (D), which is
built in the load, drop to cause problems.
Connect registers of tens to hundreds KΩ
across the load in parallel.

Leakage current by surge absorbing circuit,
which is connected to output element in parallel.
Connect C and R across the load, which are of
registers of tens KΩ. When the wiring distance
from the output module to the load is long, there
may be a leakage current due to the line
capacity.

Drive the relay using a contact and drive the

not turn off.
Sneak current due to the use of two different
power supplies.
E1<E2, sneaks. E1 is off (E2 is on), sneaks.
Use only one power supply.
Connect a sneak current prevention diode.
If the load is the relay, etc, connect a
counter-
electromotive voltage absorbing code as
shown by the dot line.
