5-94
Monitor input
This function is for connecting a switch (mechanical contact device) or sensor with a solid state
output (PNP output) as the start input. As shown in Fig. 5-13, this function is comprised of 1
receiving circuit (X
n
) and 1 functional output (I
n
).
・ For mechanical contact device
・
For input device with solid state output (PNP)

Connects to
Input device such as a mechanical contact switch, a photoelectric switch, or a proximity switch
Warning
Do not use the monitor input as a safety input. When there is a failure in the SafetyOne or
peripheral devices, the safety system will not function properly as intended.
Description of operation
Operation timing is described in Fig. 5-14.
When the output signals from the start input device are correctly supplied to the receiving circuit,
the output (I
n
) turns ON.
