General During high speed continuous operation, the temperature may rise abruptly depending upon the ambient temperature and the operation pattern, so it is necessary to promptly detect a warning. A warning message is output as a dedicated output signal, so it is recommended that you monitor it on the system side as a warning signal for the sake of safety.Refer to Concurrent I/O (E1102000155XX01* or higher) for details on the signal output.
