Connect to Various Input Devices Dials are used to select input devices and start functions to enable safety measures for a wide variety of machines and allows standardization of the relay module. Setting a start function Select from 8 types of start functions without changing the wiring. Automatic and manual operation can be selected as well as "startup test", which requires monitoring, cross-circuit detection, and pre-start inspection.
Outputs can be expanded (excluding HR6S-AB). No wiring is required, because expansions are connected via the connector on the side of the unit. O U T P U T E X P A N S I O N (Example for HR6S-AK)
LED Display for Viewing Status at a Glance The LED indicators display approximately 20 different states by steady or flash light, or by combining. (For details, see page 28.) When an error occurs, its location is indicated, allowing maintenance to be performed immediately. ERROR is steady, and either S12 ERROR flashes, and S12 and All LEDs light on.
