3.2 I/O Signal Connections
This section describes the names and functions of I/O signals (CN1). Also connection examples by control
method are shown.
3.2.1 I/O Signal (CN1) Names and Functions
The following table shows the names and functions of I/O signals (CN1).
(1) Input Signals
Note 1. The allocation of the input signals (/SI1 to /SI6) can be changed. For details, refer to 3.3.1 Input Signal Alloca-
tions.
2. If the Forward run prohibited/ Reverse run prohibited function is used, the SERVOPACK is stopped by software
controls, not by electrical or mechanical means. If the application does not satisfy the safety requirements, add an 
external circuit for safety reasons as required.
