Note

Only the combination IN terminal or RS-232C terminal can be used at the same time on one panel. Connecting them at the same time could cause errors or cause other problems so do not connect them at the same time. Also, do not connect pairs of combination IN terminals or combination OUT terminals. Doing so could cause errors or other problems.

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" (pg. 218).
