11.2.3 Contactor control output connector
This is a control output terminal for controlling the magnetic contactor (contactor) that turns on and off
the main power from the controller using EtherCAT communication.
By switching the general-purpose output EX-OUT1 to the contactor output MC-OUT of the power supply
module, only the A-axis of the driver module with the module-to-module communication ID 1 can turn on
and off the main power from the controller.
For details, refer to "2.2 I/O connector output signal"comment * 7) in this document.
For the specifications of the contactor control output circuit, refer to the "REFERENCE
SPECIFICATIONS Power supply module section (SX-DSV03452)".
Name of signal
Contactor control 1
Contactor control 2
Signal Connector pin No. Content
MC1 1
MC2 2
Magnetic contactor (contactor) control output terminal (no
polarity).
When using contactor control output, wire so that the magnetic
contactor is turned on and the main power is turned on when
MC1 and MC2 are short-circuited.
The time from the operation of the contactor output MC-OUT to
the change of the contactor control output MC1 / CM2 varies
depending on the EtherCAT communication cycle, the number
of connected driver modules, and the timing of communication
between modules. Please design the timing by adding a delay
of about 20 [ms] with a margin in addition to the operating time
of the magnetic contactor (contactor) itself.
