 • Connect to contacts of switches and relays, or open collec-
tor output transistors.
 • When you use contact inputs, use the switches and relays 
for micro current to avoid contact failure.
 • Make the lower limit voltage of the power supply (12 to 24V) 
as 11.4V or more in order to secure the primary current for 
photo-couplers.

• The output circuit is composed of open collector transistor 
outputs in the Darlington connection, and connect to relays or 
photo-couplers.
• There exists collector to emitter voltage, V
CE 
(SAT) of approx. 
1V at transistor-ON, due to the Darlington connection of the 
output or. Note that normal TTL IC cannot be directly connec-
ted since it does not meet VIL.
• There are two types of output, one which emitter side of the 
output transistor is independent and is connectable individual-
ly, and the one which is common to – side of the control pow-
er supply (COM–).
• If a recommended primary current value of the photo-coupler is 
10mA, decide the resistor value using the formula of the right Fig.
Sequence output circuit
SO1
• Feeds out the divided encoder outputs (A, B and Z-phase) in  
differential through each line driver.
• At the host side, receive these in line receiver. Install a termi-
nal resistor (approx. 330
Ω
) between line receiver inputs with-
out fail. 
• These outputs are not insulated.
Line driver (Differential output) output
PO1
• Feeds out the Z-phase signal among the encoder signals in  
open collector. This output is not insulated.
• Receive this output with high-speed photo couplers at the 
host side, since the pulse width of the Z-phase signal is nar-
row.

For the recommended primary current value, refer to the data sheet of apparatus or photo-coupler to be used.
