6.6.4 Internal I/O circuit troubleshooting
This section describes possible problems with internal I/O circuits and their corrective
actions.
(1) Internal input circuit troubleshooting
The following describes possible problems with internal input circuits and their
corrective actions.
Internal Input Circuit Troubleshooting and Corrective Action
Condition Cause Corrective action
Example 1
Internal input
signal is not
turned OFF.
• Drive by switch with LED indicator.
Motion
controller
Leakage
current
DC input
(plus common)
• Connect an appropriate resistor so that the
current across the Motion controller becomes
lower than the off current.
R
Motion
controller
DC input
(plus common)
Resistor
(Note): A calculation example of the resistance to
be connected is shown below.
Example 2
Internal input
signal is not
turned OFF.
• Sneak path due to the use of two power
supplies.

• Use only one power supply.
• Connect a sneak path prevention diode.
