Example 4
When the
external power
supply turns
on, the load is
turned on for a
moment.
Erroneous output due to the stray capacitance (C) between
collector and emitter of hotocoupler.
There is no erroneous output at normal load.
An erroneous output may occur at high sensitivity load
(such as solid state relay).
If the external power supply is turned on precipitously, Ic
current flows due to the stray capacitance (C) between
collector and emitter of hotocoupler.
Ic current flows to the next stage of transister Tr1 gate and Y0
output turns on by 100 s
When the external power turns ON/OFF,
check that the external power supply
rising edge must be 10ms or more, and
switch the SW1 to the primary side of
external power supply.
When switching to the secondary side of
the external power supply is required, the
external power supply rising edge
connected a condenser must be slow, and
measured 10ms or more.

*1 Refer to consumption current of the
external power supply for modules
used in this manual.
*2 Select the power capacity of resistance
to be 3 to 5 times lager than the actual
power consumption.
