12.2.3 External wiring precautions
1. Protection circuit for load short-circuits
A short-circuit at a load connected to an output terminal could
cause burnout at the output element or the PCB. To prevent this,
a protection fuse should be inserted at the output.
Use a load power supply capacity that is at least 2 times larger
than the total rated fuse capacity.
2. Contact protection circuit for inductive loads
When an inductive load is connected, connect a diode
(for commutation) in parallel with the load as necessary.
The diode (for commutation) must comply with the following
specifications.
3. Interlock
For loads such as forward/reverse contactors, etc.,
where a hazardous condition could result if switched ON
simultaneously, an external interlock should be provided
for interlocking the PLC's internal programs, as shown to
the right.
