42ENUsing the workpiece signalCAUTIONzz A 2-wire sensor cannot be used.A 2-wire sensor has a flow of fine current even while OFF, and could cause a malfunction.zz For the sensor, use an PNP output type 3-wire sensor.zz Depending on the sensor installation environment, a malfunction could occur due to noise.Make sure to take sufficient noise measures such as grounding (earth), etc. For details, read the instructionmanual of the sensor to be used.By using the workpiece signal (workpiece detection sensor), it is possible to prevent human errors and improve workquality.1 Turn off the power of the controller2 Connect (wire) the external signalReferring to the connection example of I/O signal (p. 40), connect the sensor or switch, and PLC output signal,etc.TerminalNo. Connected input signal Connection example7 WORK Connect the sensor or switch, and PLC output (input the +24 V DClevel)10 Input signal negative common wire Connect 0 V DC (connectable to terminal No.2)3 Turn ON the power of the controller4 Press and hold the [SETTING] dialThe mode enters setting mode.5 Change the settings belowSetting item Set valueCount function (No.11 COUNT-FNC) ONWorkpiece signal (No.12 WORK-SNSR) ON6 Press and hold the [SETTING] dial, and preserve the settingUsing External Signals
