Sequence Output Circuits
Open-Collector Output Circuits
This section describes CN1 connector terminals 37 to 39 (Alarm Code Output).
The Alarm Code (ALO1, ALO2, and ALO3) signals are output from open-collector transistor
output circuits. Connect an open-collector output circuit to a photocoupler, relay, or line-
receiver circuit.
Note: The maximum allowable voltage and maximum allowable current for open-collector output circuits are as fol-
lows:
•
Maximum allowable voltage: 30 VDC
•
Maximum allowable current: 20 mA DC
Photocoupler Output Circuits
Photocoupler output circuits are used for the ALM (Servo Alarm), /S-RDY (Servo Ready), and
other sequence output signals. Connect a photocoupler output circuit to a relay or line-receiver
circuit.
Note: The maximum allowable voltage and current range for photocoupler output circuits are as follows:
•
Maximum allowable voltage: 30 VDC
•
Current range: 5 mA to 50 mA DC
Incorrect wiring or incorrect voltage application to the output circuits may cause short-circuit fail-
ures.
If a short-circuit failure occurs as a result of any of these causes, the holding brake will not work.
This could damage the machine or cause an accident that may result in death or injury.
