2) The total load current of resistance loads per common
terminal should be the following value.
- 1 output points/common terminal: 2 A or less
- 4 output points/common terminal: 8 A or less
- 8 output points/common terminal: 8 A or less
As for the number of outputs per common terminal, refer to
“Chapter 4 interpretation of partition” and the following manual.
Refer to FX3U Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
3.5.2 Life of relay output contact
The product life of relay contacts considerably varies depending on
the load type used. Take care that loads generating reverse
electromotive force or rush current may cause poor contact or
deposition of contacts which may lead to considerable reduction of
the contact product life.
1) Inductive load
Inductive loads generate large reverse electromotive force
between contacts at shutdown which may cause arcing. At a
fixed current consumption, as the power factor (phase between
current and voltage) gets smaller, the arc energy gets larger.
The standard life of the contact used for Inductive loads, such as
contactors and solenoid valves, is 500 thousand operations at
20 VA.
The following table shows the approximate life of the relay based
on the results of our operation life test.
Test condition: 1 sec.ON / 1 sec.OFF.
The product life of relay contacts becomes considerably shorter
than the above conditions when the rush overcurrent is shut
down.
For countermeasures while using inductive loads,
refer to Subsection 3.5.4.
Some types of inductive loads generate rush current 5 to 15 times
the stationary current at activation. Make sure that the rush
current does not exceed the current corresponding to the
maximum specified resistance load.
2) Lamp load
Lamp loads generally generate rush current 10 to 15 times the
stationary current. Make sure that the rush current does not
exceed the current corresponding to the maximum specified
resistance load.
3) Capacitive load
Capacitive loads can generate rush current 20 to 40 times the
stationary current. Make sure that the rush current does not
exceed the current corresponding to the maximum specified
resistance load. Capacitive loads such as capacitors may be
present in electronic circuit loads including inverters.
For the maximum specified resistance load,
refer to Subsection 3.5.1.

3.5.4 Cautions in external wiring
For cautions in external wiring, refer to the following manual.
Refer to FX3U Series User's Manual - Hardware Edition.
Protection circuit for load short-circuiting
When a load connected to the output terminal short-circuits, the
printed circuit board may be burnt out. Fit a protective fuse on the
output circuit.
Protection circuit of contact when inductive load is used
An internal protection circuit for the relays is not provided for the
relay output circuit. It is recommended to use inductive loads with
built-in protection circuits. When using loads without built-in
protection circuits, insert an external contact protection circuit, etc.
to reduce noise and extend the product life.
1) DC circuit
Connect a diode in parallel with the load.
Use a diode (for commutation) having the following
specifications.
2) AC circuit
Connect the surge absorber (combined CR components such as
a surge killer and spark killer, etc.) parallel to the load.
Select the rated voltage of the surge absorber suitable to the
output used. Refer to the table below for other specifications.
Interlock
Loads, such as contactors for normal and reverse rotations, that
must not be turned on simultaneously should have an interlock in the
PLC program and an external interlock.
Common mode
Use output contacts of the PLC in the common mode.
