Question: Does DL06 have a 24V accessory power supply?
Answer: Yes, the AC powered DL06's have an internal power supply of 24 Volt DC, 300 mA. The current should be derated if the option modules use 24 VDC current.
FAQ ID: 996
Question: What is the max. tolerable inrush for relay outpus on the DL06 AC units?
Answer: 5A max at 250VAC resistive, 3A max at 250VAC inductive.
FAQ ID: 1002
Question: On the input power side of the unit, what type of fuse do I need for the AC powered DL06?
Answer: With 100 to 240 VAC, use 1 A(Fast blow).
FAQ ID: 1007
Question: Output LED comes on but nothing happens in the field, what could be the problem?
Answer: a. Discrete outputs on a D0-06DD1 model, needs to have V+ terminal connected to 24vdc or positive voltage of DC power source.
b. Discrete outputs on a D0-06DD2 model, needs to have C0 terminal connected to 0vdc of DC power source.

Question: Is it true you need to add some form of protection when using relay outputs to turn on solenoids or motor contactors?
Answer: Yes, it is true. Devices with coils, inductive loads, driven by a PLC relay output will generate a voltage spike when it is turned off. You should install some form of surge suppression, such as TVS, MOV or Diode, at the coil or as close to the coil of the solenoid (or other device) as possible.
