take measures such as using an isolation transformer in order to decrease the noise.
・Use the separate wiring for power supply line and input / output equipment line.
・If using a power supply without a protective circuit, power should be through a protective element such
as fuse. If an incorrect voltage is directly applied, the internal circuit may be damaged or destroyed.
■Grounding
・Ground to ensure sufficient noise immunity. (In case of using 24V DC, ground the function earth line of
the attached power supply cable.)
・Make the ground point as close as possible to ELC500 and shorten the distance of the ground wire.
・Sharing the ground with other equipment may have the opposite effect, so be sure to use a dedicated
ground.

■To avoid the effect from noise
Use power supply that has little noise. The inherent noise resistance is sufficient for power supply
superimposed noise. However, we recommend decreasing noise by using insulated transformer.
In order to decrease influence from noise, use twist cable for power supply.
■Isolate power supply system
Isolate the wiring system to ELC500, input/output devices, and mechanical power apparatus.
■Power supply sequences
Power supply sequence of the ELC500 should be the sequence that it turns OFF before power supply
for I/O. If I/O power supply turns off before the power supply of the ELC500, ELC500 detects a change
in input level and may cause unexpected operation.
