Unsuppressed inductive loads can lead to failures.
The following failures can result from unsuppressed inductive loads:
• Unsuppressed inductive loads can lead to early "stuck-on'" failures of F-DQ and F-relay
outputs.
• Unsuppressed inductive load switching generates an EMI hazard to the PLC system
and correct processing of the safety function.
Death or serious personal injury and damage to machines and equipment may result if
proper precautions are not taken.
You should use suppressor circuits with inductive loads to limit the voltage rise when a
control output turns off and to limit the electrical noise generated when switching inductive
loads.
