In the actual selection, use a value that is 3 to 5 times the value of W.
Precaution when using an LED-equipped limit switch
If the input of the PLC does not turn off because of the leakage current from the LED-
equipped limit switch, the use of a bleeder resistor is recommended, as shown below.

The OFF voltage of the input is 2.4V. Therefore, when the power supply is 24V, select the
bleeder resistor R so that the current will be greater than the result of this formula:

6.4.2 Output Wiring
Do not connect a load that exceeds the maximum switching ability of the output terminal.
To prevent the output circuits from being damaged by a short-circuit or other electrical
problems on the output side, transistors with short-circuit protection are provided (except for
Y0, Y1, Y3, and Y4 of the FP
Σ
CPU and FP0 expansion units).
