An example of how to connect an inductive load to GPO2 is shown in the next figure (same wiring could be used for
GPO1).
Interfacing inductive loads
The switching of inductive loads (like relays or motor brakes) can cause inductive kicking, that is a sudden
voltage rise when the current through the inductor is falls to zero. In order to avoid this voltage rise,
it is
recommended to place
a diode in anti-parallel with the load
(known as freewheeling diode).
Standard rectifier diodes such as
are appropriate for the application.
An alternative to the freewheeling diode is to place a varistor or an RC snubber in parallel with the load.
