z Electrical Diagram
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.
