Input Unit Manifold Part Names The Input unit manifold consists of Input unit, input block (s), end block and DIN rail. The input block up to 8 can be connected ( 16 points ). Any combination of input blocks ( for M8 connector, M12 connector and 8-point- integrated type ) is acceptable.
Wiring Branch wiring For wiring method, refer to subsection "Wiring" ( page 15 ) of section "EX500" in this manual. To input devices such as sensor, the power is supplied through the branch wiring ( branch cable with M12 connector ). Therefore, there is no need to supply the power to them individually.
EX9 Series General Purpose Output Block Part Names The EX9 series general purpose output block is the unit to operate solenoid valve, relay, etc. in combination with VQC and SV ( tie-rod ) series valve and applicable SI unit. There are two types ---- one type is for low wattage load ( EX9-OET1 or EX9-OET2 ) that outputs signals by receiving power supply from SI unit, and the other type is for high wattage load ( EX9-OEP1 or EX9-OEP2 ) that outputs signals by receiving power supply from outside.
Mounting The mounting and removing methods of each SI unit are as shown below. Supply/exhaust block assembly, end plate R, power block, or other EX9 series general purpose output block 18 : 2 pcs. ( Hexagon socket head cap screw ( with spring washer )) NOTE Holding with hand so that there will be no gap between units and tighten the bolts.
