3.3 Grounding
Ground the PLC as stated below.
•
Perform class D grounding. (Grounding resistance: 100
Ω
or less)
•
Ground the PLC independently if possible.
If it cannot be grounded independently, ground it jointly as shown
below.
• Use ground wires thicker than AWG14 (2 mm
2
).
• Position the grounding point as close to the PLC as possible to
decrease the length of the ground wire.

3.4.4 Instructions for connecting input devices
1) In the case of no-voltage contact:
The input current of this PLC is 5 to 7 mA/24V DC.
Use input devices applicable to this minute current.
If no-voltage contacts (switches) for large current are used,
contact failure may occur.
<Example> Products of OMRON
2) In the case of input device with built-in series diode:
The voltage drop of the series diode should be approx. 4 V or
less.
When lead switches with a series LED are used, up to two
switches can be connected in series.
Also make sure that the input current is over the input-sensing
level while the switches are ON.
3) In the case of input device with built-in parallel resistance:
Use a device having a parallel resistance, Rp, of 15 kΩ or more.
When the resistance is less than 15 kΩ, connect a bleeder
resistance, Rb, obtained from the formula as shown in the
following figure.
4) In the case of 2-wire proximity switch:
Use a two-wire proximity switch whose leakage current, , is
1.5 mA or less when the switch is off.
When the current is 1.5 mA or more, connect a bleeder
resistance, Rb, obtained from formula as shown in the following
figure.
