SAFETY I/O interface
5-1
1. SAFETY I/O interface overview
A SAFETY I/O interface is prepared to construct a robot safety circuit. Use the terminals to construct a safety
circuit so that the system including the controller operates toward the safe side. Additionally, connect the I/O
terminals correctly and effectively, and then start the operation after checking the operation of the safety circuit
sufficiently.

SAFETY
DFMC 1,5/12-ST-3,5-LR BK 2BD
Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
AWG24-16
1.1 Power
The emergency stop input uses either the controller’s internal power for emergency stop, or external 24 V power.
Additionally, the AUTO mode input (valid only for the CE specifications) uses the external 24 V power.

CAUTION
• Construct a physical emergency stop circuit so that the system including the controller operates toward the
safe side.
• Do not connect any external power to "E-STOP+/-" of the internal power for the emergency stop. Additionally,
do not use "E-STOP+/-" for a purpose other than the emergency stop.
