7 Digital Output Units

NX-series Digital I/O Unit User’s Manual (W521)
7-5 Push-pull Output
The Digital Output Units with the ON/OFF response time of 1 μs or less use a push-pull output to
increase the speed of the output ON/OFF response.
For this type of the Output Units, use the single load power supply for the I/O power and connected
external devices.
If multiple power supplies are used, the current may flow into the output bits via the diodes built in the
I/O circuit and cause the Output Units to malfunction.
