Main Modules
Note: 1. If the emergency stop switch is not necessary, directly connect terminal T11 to T12, and terminal T21 to T22.
2. The Function Setup Software for the F3SX (F3SX-CD100-E, sold separately) can be used to change function settings for the auxiliary solid-state
output terminals (AS1, AS2, and AS3), and the external indicator output. For details refer to the Help menu in the F3SX-CD100-E.
3. When the start command input (SSC) is not necessary, directly connect the SSC terminal to the 24 VDC input terminal (A1 terminal).
4. When an external indicator is not necessary, connect resistance (1/4 W, 4.7 kΩ) between the terminals EL1 and EL2.
