3.5.2 Sequence Input Circuit
(1) Photocoupler Input Circuit
Multi-winding drive unit CN1 connector pins 40 to 47 are explained below.
The sequence input circuit interface is connected through a relay or open-collector transistor circuit. When 
connecting through a relay, use a low-current relay. If a low-current relay is not used, a faulty contact may 
result.
Note: The 24 VDC external power supply capacity must be 50 mA minimum.
For SEN input signal circuit, refer to 5.9.2 Absolute Data Request Signal (SEN).
The input circuit of the multi-winding drive unit uses bidirectional photocoupler. Select either the sink circuit 
or the source circuit according to the specifications required for each machine.
Note:
  •
 The connection examples in 3.3.3 to 3.3.5 show sink circuits.
• The ON/OFF polarity differs between when a sink circuit is connected and when a source circuit is connected.
