CAUTION: Be sure to connect diode in between "P24" and "PLC" when connecting
plural inverters with digital input wiring in common.
By having ability inverter doesn't block the current flowing into itself when it is not
powered. This may cause the closed circuit when two or more inverters are connected to
common I/O wiring as shown below to result in unexpected turning the on the input. To
avoid this closed circuit, please put the diode (rated:50V/0.1A) in the path as described
below.
