Note

Only the combination IN terminal or RS-232C terminal can be used at the same time on one set. Connecting them at the same time could cause erroneous operation or be the cause of trouble, so do not connect them at the same time. Also, do not connect pair of combination IN terminals or combination OUT terminals. Doing so could cause trouble.

It is possible to use a general-purpose mini DIN 6-pin (straight) cable for the combination cable.

Note

To output RS-232C signals from the combination OUT terminal, an ID must be assigned. For details, refer to section, 5.5.3, ‘ID Assignment’.
