Parallel Wiring of a Digital Output with Different Rated Load Voltages

The parallel wiring of a digital output (rated load voltage 1L+) with another digital
output (rated load voltage 2L+) or a rated load voltage 3L+ is only possible using
series diodes.

Parallel Wiring of a Digital Output with Identical Rated Load Voltages

If the L+ supplies of the digital output modules and the L+ voltage connected in
parallel to the output are always the same (difference < 0.5 V), there is no need to
use diodes, see figure 4-6.
