1 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
(3) Precautions for using the DC input module
(a) Measure against back EMF
When an inductive load is connected, connect a diode to the load in parallel.
Use a diode that meets the following conditions.
• Reverse breakdown voltage is 10 times as high as the circuit voltage or
more.
• Forward current is twice as high as the load current or more.
(4) Precautions for using the high-speed input module
Read the following precautions carefully when using the high-speed input modules
(QX40H, QX70H, QX80H, and QX90H).
(a) When switching to the high-speed input, the specifications of the high-speed
input modules and the input module QX40-S1 are identical. On the other
hand, when switching to the interrupt input, the specifications of the high-
speed input modules and the interrupt module QI60 are identical too.
Therefore, the specifications of the input module (QX40-S1) are construed as
the specifications of the high-speed input module switched to the high-speed
input. Similarly, the specifications of the interrupt module (QI60) indicated in
the manuals other than this manual are construed as the specifications of the
high-speed input module switched to the interrupt input.
(b) By using setting switches on the bottom of the module (refer to Chapter 10),
the high-speed input module switches module types (high-speed input or
interrupt input) for 16 input points all together and between valid and invalid
noise filters as shown below.
