Inductive load

[CHOUAIBOU]

Hi admin,

Could you please clarify your anwser since your first post said to try to use th LMs IO pins and now you are suggesting a relay. Sorry I am just a bit confused.

Hi Yoggi,
Inductive load creates current surge as the inductance opposes the interruption of the current. You will probably destroy your LM digital outpout due to over current if you are going to control an important inductive load.
Just use dry contacts (NO/NC) of an extra 24V relay to safely drive your inductive load. Make sure that the nominal current of the relay's coil is lower than the nominal current of the LM digital outputs. Don't make mistake between relay's coil specifications and its dry contacts specifications.

B.R,
