Different loads have corresponding requirements for the output method of PLCs. For example, frequently switched inductive loads should use transistor or thyristor output types, rather than relay output types. However, relay output PLCs have many advantages, such as low conduction voltage drop, isolation effect, relatively low price, strong ability to withstand instantaneous overvoltage and overcurrent, flexible load voltage (AC or DC), and a wide range of voltage levels. Therefore, infrequently switched AC or DC loads can opt for relay output PLCs.
FBM230 Foxboro FOXBORO Controller, The I/O response time of a PLC includes input circuit delay, output circuit delay, and time delay caused by the scanning operation mode (generally 2 to 3 scanning cycles). For systems controlled by switching signals, the PLC and I/O response time generally meet the requirements of practical engineering, so I/O response issues need not be considered. However, for systems controlled by analog signals, especially closed-loop systems, this issue must be taken into account.
The input and output interfaces are the interface circuits that connect the PLC to industrial field control or detection components and actuators. The input interfaces of PLCs include DC input, AC input, and AC/DC input types. The output interfaces include transistor output, thyristor output, and relay output types. Transistor and thyristor outputs are contactless output circuits: transistor output is used for high-frequency, low-power loads, while thyristor output is used for high-frequency, high-power loads. Relay output is a contact-based output circuit used for low-frequency loads.
Field control or detection components input various control signals to the PLC, such as limit switches, push buttons, selector switches, and other sensors outputting switching or analog signals. These signals are converted by the input interface circuit into signals that the CPU can receive and process. The output interface circuit converts the weak control signals from the CPU into strong electrical signals required by the field to drive actuators such as solenoid valves and contactors.
