Transmission Errors and Output Signals
Transmission errors occur in the following cases:
•
When the signal or 0-V wire is disconnected.
•
When the signal is influenced by high-level external noise or the
signal is excessively deformed because the length of the
transmission path is more than the permissible distance.
•
When the supply voltage to the Link Terminals are not within the
operating voltage range (12 to 24 V
±
10%).
•
Immediately after the Link Terminals are turned on.
(An error is reset within 300 ms after the power is turned on.)
Output Signals
HOLD: When an error occurs, the output signals just before the oc-
currence of the error will be maintained.
LOAD OFF: When an error occurs, all output signals will be turned
OFF.
Automatic Reset
When the error is corrected, the Link Terminals will automatically re-
set themselves.
