VS Series PLCs read the ON/OFF status of various external switches and sensing elements as operating conditions
through the input points. To prevent problems such as noise interference and switch bouncing, there is a filter of about
10ms equipped at each input point. Since the external input X0~X7 of a Main unit are designated as multi-function input
points to perform various high speed functions, therefore, the filter time of these 8 input points is adjustable.
Functions of these 8 output points are listed below.
2-2 External Input (X) and External Output (Y)
2-2-1 External Input (X)

For the descriptions of each item, please refer to the page listed at the “Ref. Page ” above.
The contact of a common input point in the program is available to work with an other special function.
When one of the X0~X7 performs a mentioned special function above, this input point is not reusable with another
special function. However, the External Interrupt could cooperate with Pulse Measurement function. (For details,
please see the specific function description.)
When a multi-function input point is performing a special function, the response of the point requires fast and
relatively sensitive (the fast reaction, the more sensitive), contrarily susceptible to noise interference.Therefore, pay
special attention to its external wiring, try to avoid interfering sources, and use isolation lines.

When a mentioned special function above performs, the filter time of this input point will be automatically adjusted to
0ms (deviates form D9020). To prevent noise interference, input points X0~X7 are also equipped with RC filters.
Thus, the filter time of 0 ms is not true 0 ms. In addition, the response time of input points X0~X7 is varied depending
on the Series of VS1, VS2, VSM or VS3.
When filter time is adjusted as 0ms, the minimum pulse width required to transmit input signals to respective input
points are listed as follows.
