Switching inductive loads
The module does not contain any internal free-wheeling diode for absorbing the inductive
energy when inductive loads are switched off. The inductive load rating is 1 J per channel
at 0.2 Hz.
The inductive load rating of the outputs can be increased by connecting an external free-
wheeling diode, however this significantly increases the switch-off time.
In the case of high inductivity:
Use a free-wheeling diode.

Parallel connection of outputs
Two outputs can be connected in parallel. This does not increase the inductive load rating
of the digital outputs.
