11. I/O MODULE TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter explains possible problems with I/O circuits and their corrective actions.
11.1 Input Circuit Troubleshooting
This section describes possible problems with input circuits and their corrective
actions.
Table 11.1 Input Circuit Problems and Corrective Actions
Condition Cause Corrective Action
Example 1
Input signal
is not
turned
OFF.
• Leakage current of input switch
(e.g. drive by non-contact switch).
Leakage
current
Input module
AC input
Power supply
• Connect an appropriate resister so that the
voltage across the terminals of the input
module becomes below the OFF voltage
value.
AC input
Input module
R
It is recommended to use 0.1 to 47 F + 47 to
120
(
1/2W
)
for the CR constant.
Example 2
Input signal
is not
turned
OFF.
• Drive by a limit switch with neon lamp.
Leakage
current
AC input
Input module
Power supply
• Same as Example 1.
• Or make up another independent display
circuit.
Example 3
Input signal
is not
turned
OFF.
• Leakage current due to line capacity of wiring
cable.
(Line capacity C of twisted pair wire is approx.
100 PF/m).
Leakage
current
AC input
Input module
Power supply
• Same as Example 1.
• However, leakage current is not generated
when the power supply is located in the input
equipment side as shown below.
