When using a two-wire sensor, check that the following conditions have been met. Failure to meet
these conditions may result in operating errors.
(1) Relation between voltage when the input is ON and the sensor residual voltage:
V

− V
R
(2) Relation between current when the input is ON and the sensor control output (load
current):

(4) Precautions on Sensor Inrush Current
An incorrect input may occur due to sensor inrush current if a sensor is turned ON after the
PLC has started up to the point where inputs are possible.
Determine the time required for sensor operation to stabilize after the sensor is turned ON
and take appropriate measures, such as inserting into the program a timer delay after turn-
ing ON the sensor.
