Protection for Inductive Loads – Inductive loads can cause reverse currents when they shut off that can
shorten the life of relay contacts. Some protective measures need to be determined by an engineer.
Below you will find recommendations that will work for many applications. If you have additional
questions on protection from inductive load, consult an application engineer or HEAPG Technical
Support.
DC Loads – General purpose diode (IN4004) in reverse bias across the load.
AC Load – MOV (Harris V140xxx for 120V, V275xx for 220V)
Output State on Controller Stop
When the controller is stopped the operation of each output is configurable. The outputs can hold the
state they were in before the controller stopped or they can go to a predetermined state. By default relay
outputs turn off. For more information on stop state see the
Index for Cscape settings pages.

Digital Inputs
Note: Refer to the datasheet for XL6/XL6e OCS model you are using for details on jumper settings.
Note: The digital inputs on the XL6/XL6e OCS are designed for low voltage DC inputs. The inputs are
designed to support both positive and negative input modes. The mode is set by a jumper setting and a
configuration parameter in Cscape. All the inputs on the unit must be configured to the same mode.
Figure 10.7 – Positive and Negative Inputs
In positive logic mode a positive voltage applied to the input will turn the input. The internal design of this
mode is basically a resistor from the input to I/O ground. This mode is sometimes called sourcing.
In negative logic mode, connecting the input to the I/O ground or zero volts will turn the input on. The
internal design of this mode is basically a resistor from the input to the positive I/O voltage (usually 12 or
24 volts). This mode is sometime called sinking.
Some of the digital inputs may support high speed input functional such as counting or frequency
measurement.

Analog Inputs
Note: See the data sheet for the XL6/XL6e OCS model you are using for jumper settings and see the
appropriate page in this manual (see Index) for details on how to use Cscape to configure the digital
filtering.
