3.2 Output Module
(3) Precautions for using the contact output module
When using the contact output module, consider the following.
• Relay life (contact switching life)
• Effects to relay life due to connected load
• Measures against back EMF
(a) Relay life (contact switching life)
Applicable module LY10R2, LY18R2A
The relay life depends on the operating environment. Select a module according to the operating environment.
The relay lives shown below are the actual service values, not the guaranteed values. Replace the module well
in advance since the actual switching life may be shorter than the one shown below.
