3. Instructions for using
• Mixed use of sink/source inputs
It is possible to set all input terminals (X) of the main unit to either sink input or source input mode.
However, a mixture of sink and source input terminals cannot be set within a single unit.
- It is possible to set sink or source input mode for main units and powered input/output extension units.
- The input mode of input/output extension blocks is determined based upon the selection of the sink or
source input mode of the main unit or powered extension unit (power source).
• Cautions when selecting a model
Sink/source input type and sink input type only unit models are both available. Select the proper type for
the application.
Differences from FX
1N
PLCs in input specifications (reference)
Sink input type only FX
1N
PLCs (manuals in Japanese are supplied) and sink/source input type FX
1N
PLCs
(manuals in English are supplied) have different model names.
• For sink input type only FX
1N
PLCs, the S/S terminal and the 24V terminal are connected internally, unlike
in FX
3G
PLCs.
When replacing a sink input type only FX
1N
PLC with a FX
3G
PLC, short-circuit the [S/S] and [24V]
terminals, and use the [0V] terminal of the FX
3G
as the [COM] terminal of the FX
1N
for wiring.
• Sink/source input type FX
1N
PLCs are configured in sink or source input mode using external wiring in the
same way as FX
3G
PLCs.
