GX-series EtherCAT Slave Unit User’s Manual
Precautions for Correct Use
• With a current of between 2 and 3 A (8 to 10 A per common), either ensure that the number of 
points per common that simultaneously turn ON does not exceed 4 or ensure that the ambient 
temperature does not exceed 45°C. There are no restrictions if the current does not exceed 2 
A (8 A per common).
• The rated current is the value for assuring normal operation, but not for assuring durability of 
the relays. The relay service life depends greatly on factors such as the operating 
temperature, the type of load, and switching conditions. The actual relay must be checked 
under actual operating conditions.
