2 Functions
2-1 Start Interlock
This function keeps the OSSD turned off when the power to the SL-R11E is turned on. At this time, the
OSSD will not turn on even when the SL-C Series connected to the SL-R11E is clear of any obstruction in
the detection zone. In order to cancel the start interlock status (in other words, to turn the OSSD ON to allow
the machine to start), the start/restart input must be input when there are no obstacles in the detection zone.
This will cause the OSSD to turn on, allowing the cancellation of the start interlock status.
Using this function prevents the machine from being automatically started when the power is turned on, or
when the start switch, etc., is pressed after safety has been confirmed.
➮ For details, See page 4-4 “4-3-1 Wiring to Start/Restart Input Terminals”.
2-2 Restart Interlock
The OSSD turns off when an obstacle interrupts the detection zone, and this function keeps the OSSD
turned off even after the obstacle is removed from the detection zone. In order to cancel the restart interlock
status (in other words, to turn the OSSD ON to allow the machine to restart), the start/restart input must be
input when there are no obstacles in the detection zone. This will cause the OSSD to turn on, allowing the
cancellation of the restart interlock status.
This function prevents the machine from automatically starting even when the obstacle detected by the SL-C
Series is removed from the detection zone, so after the safety check is completed, the machine can be
restarted by pressing the start switch, etc.

2-3 E-STOP Input
E-STOP input refers to 2 normally closed signal inputs that are used to rapidly stop the machine when the
emergency stop switch or similar button is operated. The SL-R11E has a terminal (E-STOP1 and E-STOP2
input terminals) for receiving the input signal from the emergency stop switch (or similar button) operation, so
the machine can be emergency stopped via the SL-R11E. SL-R11E requires the start/restart input in order to
return to the normal operation from an emergency stop state. That is why the SL-R11E requires the start/
restart input to cancel the interlock state in addition to the manual restart of E-STOP signal input.
This function not only makes emergency stopping possible when danger is detected by the SL-C, but can
also cause the OSSD provided in the SL-R11E to be operated by E-STOP input from an emergency stop
switch, etc., so it can be used to make output systems uniform.
