Input Unit Manifold Part Names

The Input unit manifold consists of Input unit, input block (s), end block and DIN rail. The input block up to 8 can be connected ( 16 points ).

Any combination of input blocks ( for M8 connector, M12 connector and 8-point- integrated type ) is acceptable.

Note Do not mix sensor input specifications ( PNP and NPN ).

Figure shows the configuration when only input blocks for M8 connector are connected.

No.	Part name	Application
1	Input unit	Unit to communicate with GW unit or SI unit.
2	Communication	To be connected with branch cables from GW unit or
	connector	SI unit ( branch cable with M12 connector ). ( Note1 )
3	Power LED	Indicates the power supply status. ( Note2 )
4	Input block	Unit for sensor signal input.
5	Sensor connector	Connects with sensor. ( Note1 )
6	Indicator LED	Indicates sensor signal status. ( Note2 )
7	Marker	To be used for writing input No. etc.
8	End block	Composes the end of Input unit manifold.
9	DIN rail	To be mounted with Input unit manifold.

Note1 : For wiring method, refer to subsection "Wiring" ( page 30 ) of section "Input Unit Manifold" in this manual.

Note2 : For display, refer to "Display" ( page 31 ) in section "Input Unit Manifold" in this manual.
