Precaution when using LED-equipped lead switch
When a LED is connected in series to an input contact such as LED-equipped lead switch,
make sure that the on voltage applied to the PLC input terminal is greater than 21.6V DC. In
particular, take care when connecting a number of switches in series.

Precaution when using two-wire type sensor
If the input of PLC does not turn off because of leakage current from the two-wire type sensor
"photoelectric sensor or proximity sensor", the use of a bleeder resistor is recommended, as
shown below.

Precaution when using LED-equipped limit switch
If the input of PLC does not turn off because of leakage current from the LED-equipped limit
switch, the use of a bleeder resistor is recommended, as shown on the left.
