When an output terminal is off, the LED connected as a load dimly turns on
■Cause
The load operates by the leakage current when the output module is off.
FPGA module
DC output (sink output)
Y0
COM
■Action
Connect a resistor of 5 to 50k in parallel with the LED load.
A load operates only by turning on the external power supply
■Cause
• The external power supply is connected with its polarity reversed.

• The reversed polarity may allow current to flow via the output element protection diode into the load.
■Action
Connect the external power supply with the correct polarity.
