9.1 Before Starting Input Wiring
9.1.1 Sink and source input
The input terminals (X) of the main unit are common to sink/source input of 24 V DC internal power.
1. Differences between the sink input circuit and the source input circuit
Sink input [-common]
Sink input means a DC input signal with current-flow from the input
(X) terminal. When a sensor with a transistor output is connected,
NPN open collector transistor output can be used.
Source input [+common]
Source input means a DC input signal with current-flow into the input
(X) terminal. When a sensor with a transistor output is connected,
PNP open collector transistor output can be used.
2. Method of switching between sink/source input
To switch the input type to sink or source input, wire the [S/S] terminal to the [0V] or [24V] ([-] or [+]) terminal.
In the case of AC power type
- Sink input: [24V] terminal and [S/S] terminal are connected.
- Source input: [0V] terminal and [S/S] terminal are connected.
For wiring examples, refer to Subsection 9.2.3.
In the case of DC power type
- Sink input: [+] terminal and [S/S] terminal are connected.
- Source input: [-] terminal and [S/S] terminal are connected.
For wiring examples, refer to Subsection 9.2.4.
3. Cautions for using
Mixed use of sink/source inputs.
It is possible to set all input terminals (X) of the main unit to either sink input or source input mode.
However, a mixture of sink and source input terminals cannot be set within a single unit.
Differences from FX1S PLCs in input specifications (reference)
Sink input type only FX
1S PLCs (manuals in Japanese are supplied) and sink/source input type FX1S PLCs
(manuals in English are supplied) have different model names.
For sink input type only FX
1S PLCs, the [S/S] terminal and the [24V] terminal are connected internally,
unlike in FX
3S PLCs.
When replacing a sink input type only FX
1S PLC with a FX3S PLC, short-circuit the [S/S] and [24V]
terminals, and use the [0V] terminal of the FX
3S as the [COM] terminal of the FX1S for wiring.
Sink/source input type FX
1S PLCs are configured in sink or source input mode using external wiring in the
same way as FX
3S PLCs.
