Use FW (forward) and RV (reverse) variables to control RUN commands through the Drive Programming 
program. Be sure to set the RUN Command Selection (A002/A202) to 01 (Control circuit terminal block) 
when you use FW or RV variable.
You can control through the program regardless of the setting 00 (FW: Forward) (for MX2 only) or 01 
(RV: Reverse) in Multi-function Input Selection.
The relationship between the following items is OR: 
MX2: The program's RUN command and the multi-function input terminal set to 00 (FW: Forward).
RX: The program's RUN command and the forward RUN command terminal FW and the multi-function 
input terminal set to 01 (RV: Reverse).
MX2:
RX: 
• Forward RUN command : the forward RUN command terminal FW (the relationship between the pro-
gram's RUN command and the RUN command via the control circuit terminal block is OR.)
