11.5 Examples of Troubles with the I/O Module
When the output module is off, the LED connected as a load dimly turns on
■Cause
The load operates by the leakage current when the output module is off.
■Action
Connect a resistor of 5 to 50k in parallel with the LED load.
When a digital display unit is connected as a load, data may not be displayed normally
■Cause
The load operates by the leakage current when the output module is off.
■Action
Install a pull-up resistor of 5 to 50k and 0.5W between the outputs of 24VDC power supply and the output module.
