Start/Stop Schematic
The start/stop circuit of the SmartAXIS consists of three
blocks; power supply, M8000 (start control special
internal relay), and stop/reset inputs. Each block can be
used to start and stop the SmartAXIS while the other
two blocks are set to run the SmartAXIS.
Start/Stop Operation Using WindLDR
The SmartAXIS can be started and stopped using WindLDR run on a Windows computer connected to the SmartAXIS. When the
Start button is pressed in the menu bar shown below, start control special internal relay M8000 is turned on to start the
SmartAXIS. When the Stop button is pressed, M8000 is turned off to stop the SmartAXIS.
Connect the computer to the SmartAXIS, start WindLDR, and power up the SmartAXIS.

2.
Input and Reset Input" on page 5-4.
Note: When a stop input is designated, the SmartAXIS cannot be started or stopped by turning start control special internal relay M8000 on or off.
Select Online from the WindLDR menu bar.

The Online tab appears.
Click the Start button to start operation, then the start control special internal relay M8000 is turned on.

Click the Stop button to stop operation, then the start control special internal relay M8000 is turned off.

The PLC operation can also be started and stopped while WindLDR is in the monitor mode. Select Online > Monitor >
Monitor and click the Start or Stop button.
Note: Special internal relay M8000 is a keep type internal relay and stores the status when power is turned off. M8000 retains its previous status
when power is turned on again. However, when the backup battery is dead, M8000 loses the stored status, and can be turned on or off as
programmed when the SmartAXIS is powered up. The selection is made in Configuration > Run/Stop Control > Run/Stop Selection at
Memory Backup Error. See "Run/Stop Selection at Memory Backup Error" on page 5-5.
The backup duration is approximately 30 days (typical) at 25°C after the backup battery is fully charged.
Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the SmartAXIS. Incorrect operation of the SmartAXIS may cause
machine damage or accidents.
