3-3-2 Safety Output Functions
The Safety Output Unit diagnoses the connected external devices through the safety output terminals.
The general-purpose safety output devices that can be connected to the safety output terminals of a
Safety Output Unit are listed in the following table.
The connection of incandescent lamps is not supported. Connect them to an NX-series Digital
Output Unit.
You can easily set the safety functions of the safety output terminals from the Sysmac Studio by select-
ing the external devices that are connected. Refer to 3-3 Safety I/O Functions on page 3-11 for details.
This section describes the connection methods for the I/O power supply.
If the Safety Output Unit is wired as shown in the following figure and the IOG wire breaks, a floating
condition will result. If that occurs, a few volts may be applied to the output terminals of the Safety Out-
put Unit, turning ON the load.
