When an inductive load is connected to an I/O Unit, connect a surge suppressor
or diode in parallel with the load, as shown in the following diagram. The diode
will adsorb the back electromagnetic field generated by the load.

Incorrect
When two-wire sensors, such as photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors or
limit switches with indicators are connected to the PC as input devices, the input
bit may be turned ON erroneously by leakage current. In order to prevent this,
connect a bleeder resistor across the input to reduce the input impedance.
