When an inductive load is connected to the input or output of the CPU, it is
necessary to connect a surge suppressor or a diode in parallel with the load,
as shown below, to absorb the counter-electromotive force produced by the
load.

Be sure to take appropriate measures when any electrical device likely to
produce noise is connected to the CPU as a load. For example, electromag-
netic relays and valves generating noise of more than 1,200 V require noise
suppression. For AC noise sources, connect a surge suppressor in parallel
with the coil of each device. For DC noise sources, connect a diode in paral-
lel with the coil of each device. When mounting a CPU and an Expansion I/O
Unit on a control panel, be sure to completely ground the intermediate
mounting plate. The mounting plate must be finished with high-conductivity
plating to ensure noise immunity.
