The following emergency stop circuit controls the power supply to the controlled system so that power is
supplied to the controlled system only when the PLC is operating and the RUN output is ON.
An external relay (CR1) is connected to the RUN output from the Power Supply Unit
*1
as shown in the
following diagram.
*1 A RUN output is provided only on the CJ1W-PA205R Power Supply Unit. When a Power Supply Unit without a
RUN output is used, program the Always ON Flag (A1) as the execution condition for an output point from an
Output Unit.

When the PLC controls an operation such as the clockwise and counterclockwise operation of a motor,
provide an external interlock such as the one shown in the following example to prevent both the for-
ward and reverse outputs from turning ON at the same time.
This circuit prevents outputs MC1 and MC2 from both being ON at the same time even if both
CIO 000501 and CIO 000502 are ON, so the motor is protected even if the PLC is programmed improp-
erly or malfunctions.
