outputs
When the output is ON,
nothing is output although
the output indicator is
turned ON.
The I/O power is not
supplied.
Check that the I/O power

Analog I/O Slave Units
The analog data values
are different from
expected or the analog
data error is too large.
The user adjustment error
is too large.
Execute user adjustment
again.
Even if the I/O range
setting is changed,
expected analog input
value is not set.
Alternatively, expected
analog value is not output.
Setting changes are not
reflected unless the unit
power supply is turned ON
again after making
changes.
Turn ON the unit power
supply again after
changing the setting.
The I/O range cannot be
