12.2 External Wiring of Transistor Output (Sink/Source) Type
2. External power supply
For driving the load, use a smoothing power supply of 5 to 30 V DC that can output current two or more times
the rated current of the fuse connected to the load circuit.
3. Insulation of circuit
The internal circuit of the PLC and the output transistor are insulated with a photocoupler.
The common blocks are separated from one another.
4. Display of operation
When power is applied to the photocoupler, the LED is lit, and the output transistor is turned on.
5. Response time
The time from when the PLC drives (or shuts down) the photocoupler until the transistor is turned on (or off) is
shown in the following table.
*1. The transistor OFF time is longer under lighter loads. For example, under a load of 24 V DC 40 mA,
the response time is approx. 0.3 ms. When response performance is required under light loads,
provide a dummy resistor as shown below to increase the load current.
6. Output current
The maximum resistance loads for the main unit is shown in the following table.
The ON voltage of the output transistor is approx. 1.5 V.
When driving a semiconductor element, carefully check the input voltage characteristics of the applied
element.
7. Open circuit leakage current
0.1 mA or less.
Output number Response time Load current
Y000, Y001 5 s or less
5 to 24 V DC
10 mA or more
When using an instruction related to pulse train output or positioning,
make sure to set the load current to 10 to 100 mA (5 to 24 V DC).
Y002 to Y015 0.2 ms or less
24 V DC 200 mA or more
