3   SPECIFICATIONS AND FUNCTIONS 
 
(a)   Input signal ON/OFF status 
The input signal ON/OFF status is defied by the external wiring and logic 
setting. 
This is explained below with the example of near-point dog signal (DOG). 
(The other input signals also perform the same operations as the near-point 
dog signal (DOG).)

3: Set the logic setting using " 
 
Pr.22
 
 Input signal logic selection". For details of the settings, refer to 
"Section 5.2.3 Detailed parameters 1" and "Section 13.4 External I/O signal logic switching function". 
4: When using the upper limit signal (FLS) or lower limit signal (RLS), always wire it as a "b" (normally 
closed) contact in the negative logic setting. The signal will turn OFF to stop positioning. 
 
(b)   About logic setting and internal circuit 
In the QD75, the case where the internal circuit (photocoupler) is OFF in 
the negative logic setting is defined as "input signal OFF". 
Reversely, the case where the internal circuit (photocoupler) is OFF in the 
positive logic setting is defined as "input signal ON".

When voltage is not applied  : Photocoupler OFF 
When voltage is applied  : Photocoupler ON
