1. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 
This chapter describes the general specifications and precautions for use of the I/O 
modules. 
 
1.1 General Specifications 
Refer to the following manual for the general specifications of the I/O modules. 
• QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) 
 
1.2 Precautions for Use 
1.2.1 Input module 
(1) Simultaneous ON points 
The number of simultaneous on points of input module depends on the input 
voltage and ambient temperature. 
Refer to the derating chart of the input module specifications. 
 
(2) Input response time and pulse width 
Input modules may take in noise or the like as an input depending on the pulse 
width of a signal. 
This pulse width has a value as listed below depending on the parameter-set 
response time. Set input response time while fully consider the operating 
environment. 
 
Response time setting value (ms) 
Minimum value of pulse width
