4.3 Wiring Input and Output
Connection of LED-equipped Limit Switch
With the LED-equipped limit switch, if the input of the PLC is not turned off or if the LED
of the limit switch is kept on because of the leakage current, the connection of a bleeder
resistor is recommended, as shown below.
The off voltage of the input is 2.5V, therefore when the power supply voltage is 24V, select R
so that
the current will be greater than I =
The resistance R of the bleeder resistor is: R ≦
The wattage W of the resistor is: W=
