Product Selection ■ Selection for low wattage and high wattage load The type is selected based on the SI unit type and the current consumption of the connect load. •EX126 and EX250 series (excluding the one power supply system for AS-i) The Output block for low wattage load should not be used when the current consumption of the connected output equipment (load) is above the rated current of 62 mA (1.5 W, 24 VDC).
Page 13
•EX500-Q 02 (page 54) The Output block for low wattage load should not be used when the current consumption of the connected output equipment (load) is above the rated current of 42 mA (1.0 W, 24 VDC). If used, the SI unit will malfunction. The Output block for high wattage load and a Power block must be used when the current consumption exceeds the rated load current of 42 mA.
■ EX9-OET (Output block for low wattage load) •Location The Output block for low wattage load cannot be placed closer to the valve manifold than the Power block. If the Output block for low wattage load is positioned like this, it will not operate. The correct position is with the Output block for low wattage load located between the SI unit and the Power block.
■ EX9-OEP (Output block for high wattage load) •Combination The Output block for high wattage load (EX9-OEP ) cannot be used independently. If the Output block for high wattage load is used independently, it will not operate. It must be used together with a Power block (EX9-PE1). [Example] ○: This is possible to use it.
■ Polarity Be sure to use an Output block with a polarity consistent with the polarity (output style) of the SI unit. If a product with the incorrect polarity is connected, the Output block will not operate. [Example] ○: This is possible to use it. ×: This is not possible to use it.
■ Limit of output points when the Output block for high wattage load and Power block are used •EX250-SDN1, -SMJ2, -SPR1, -SCA1A, -SEN1 The maximum output points of the Output block for low wattage load is 32 (for connector pin No. 3 to 34) When an Output block for high wattage load and Power block are used, the number of output points of the Output block (on the right of the Power block) is limited to 24 points (connector pin No.

•Total current consumption of Output block (Current consumption of one output x Output number) x Output block number = (20 mA x 2 points) x 6 blocks = 240 mA •Current consumption of the load connected to the manifold block for low wattage load. (Total current consumption of connected load) + (Current consumption of one valve x station number) = (62 mA + 62 mA) + (42 mA x 7stns.) = (124 mA) + (294 mA) = 418 mA Total current consumption = 240 mA + 418 mA = 658 mA ≒...

•AS-i power supply system If an AS-i power supply system is the only power supply, the supply current for the input and output equipment is limited. Current above the maximum supply current for the SI unit cannot be used. Calculate the current consumption for the input and output equipment before use. Refer to the operation manuals for the maximum supply current of each SI unit.
