A-6 Load Short-circuit Protection and
Line Disconnection Detection for
Basic I/O Units
This section describes the load short-circuit protection of the CJ1W-OD202 Output Units.
As shown below, normally when the output bit turns ON (OUT), the transistor will turn ON and then out-
put current (Iout) will flow.
Normal Operation
If the output (Iout) is overloaded or short-circuited exceeding the detection current (Ilim), the output cur-
rent (Iout) will be limited as shown in figure below. When the junction temperature (Tj) of the output tran-
sistor reaches the thermal shutdown temperature (Tstd), the output will turn OFF to protect the
transistor from being damaged, and the alarm output bit will turn ON to light the ERR indicator. When
the junction temperature (Tj) of the transistor drops down to the reset temperature (Tr), the ERR indica-
tor will be automatically reset and the output current will start flowing.
Operation for Overload or Short Circuit
If the line is disconnected and the output current (Iout) drops below the line disconnection detection cur-
rent (IOL), the ERR indicator will light as shown in the following figure.
Operation for Disconnected Line with Output Current below the Line Disconnection Detection Current
A: Load not connected or load line broken.
B: Current to load at or below line disconnection detection current.
C: Rise of current to load too slow and error detected before the disconnection detection current was
reached.
