Transistor 
output 1 
(1)  Various signals such as inverter running, speed/freq. arrival and overload early warning can be assigned to 
any terminals, [Y1] and [Y2] by setting function code E20 and E21. Refer to Chapter 6, Section 6.1 "Function 
codes tables" for details. 
(2)  Switches the logic value (1/0) for ON/OFF of the terminals between [Y1], [Y2], and [CMY]. If the logic value 
for ON between [Y1], [Y2], and [CMY] is 1 in the normal logic system, for example, OFF is 1 in the negative 
logic system and vice versa.

•  When a transistor output drives a control relay, connect a surge-absorbing 
diode across relay’s coil terminals. 
• When any equipment or device connected to the transistor output needs to be 
supplied with DC power, feed the power (+24 VDC: allowable range: +22 to 
+27 VDC, 50 mA max.) through the [PLC] terminal. Short-circuit between the 
terminals [CMY] and [CM] in this case.

Figure 3.13 shows two examples of circuit connection between the transistor output of the inverter’s control circuit and a PLC. 
In example (a), the input circuit of the PLC serves as a SINK for the control circuit output, whereas in example (b), it serves as 
a SOURCE for the output.
