I have several digital controlled relays @ 12 VDC coils, the coils are=20 powered from a PLC. If 2 or so relaycoils are connected in parallel,=20 should I have one diode across the coil terminals of every relay? If=20 only one relay requires a diode, should it be at the nearest or farthest=20 coil from the driver. The relays are located within inches of each other=20 and more than 20' of cable to the driver IC. More than one relay is=20 required since I am using 4PDT relays and I have more than 4 circuits to=20 switch. Thanks ahead for replies :) --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
