When connecting TTL circuits to transistor Output Units, it is necessary to con-
nect a pull-up resistor and a CMOS IC between the two. This is because of the
residual voltage left on the transistor output after the output turns OFF.
When an inductive load is connected to an I/O Unit, it is necessary to connect a
surge suppressor or diode in parallel with the load as shown below. This is so
that the back EMF generated by the load will be absorbed.

7-5 Electrical Noise
Be sure to take appropriate measures when any electrical device likely to pro-
duce noise is connected to the PC as a load. Devices generating noise of more
than 1,200 V (such as electromagnetic relays and valves) require noise sup-
pression. For noise sources running off of AC power, connect a diode in parallel
with the coil of each device.
When mounting a CPU Rack and an Expansion I/O Rack together on a mounting
plate, be sure to provide a solid ground the mounting plate. The mounting plate
must be plated with a highly conductive surface in order to ensure noise immu-
nity.
