4. Operation Using I/O Signals
This chapter explains the wire connections and operation timings you should know in order to perform positioning
operation using a PLC with I/O signals. Two PIO patterns are available for you to choose from in accordance with your
specific application.

4.1 Interface
Circuit
The standard interface circuit conforms to the NPN specification, but the PNP specification type is also available as an
option.
To simplify wiring, a common power line is used for both the NPN specification and PNP specification. Accordingly you
need not reverse the power connections when using the PNP specification.
