4 LEDS
4.1 DIGITAL OUTPUT LED
LEDs O01 to O24 represent outputs DO1 to DO24, respectively.
In the MOD1, the LEDs of the digital outputs light RED whenever the digital output is active, Figure 5.2 on page 5-5.
4.2 DIGITAL INPUT LED
LEDs I01 to I24 represent inputs DI1 to DI24, respectively.
The LEDs of the digital inputs are bicolor. They light RED if the digital input is activated through the positive of the
power supply, and the negative connected to the common of the inputs (PNP). They light GREEN if the positive
of the power supply is connected to the common of the inputs, and the negative of the power supply connected
to the respective input (NPN), Figure 5.1 on page 5-3.
4.3 RELAY OUTPUT LED
LEDs RL1 to RL6 of MOD7.00 represent, respectively, relays RL1 to RL6.
With the relays disabled, that is, with the NC contact closed and the NO contact open, the LEDs are off. When
a relay is enabled, that is, the NC contact opens and the NO contact closes, the LED representing this relay will
light GREEN; see Figure 5.1 on page 5-3.
4.4 STARTER MANAGER LEDS (MOD8.YZ – SCW)
The starter manager LEDs behave differently in each operating mode (starter or transparent).
In the Starter mode:
Starter Status Color
Open contactor Off
Direct on-line starter Green
Reverse start Orange
Error Flashing red
In the Transparent mode:
DO Status Color
Both Off Off
Only first DO of the starter On Green
Only second DO of the starter On Orange
Both DOs of the starter On Flashing orange

5 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The expansion boards are incorporated to the RUW100/PLC in a simple and fast way, using the "Plug and
Play" concept by the user. When the RUW100/PLC is powered up, the electronic circuit identifies the number of
connected expansions, the model and the firmware version of each one. They also receive an address according
to the position of each one, so that it is possible to access them through the communication bus.
ATTENTION!
Accessories must be installed or removed with the RUW100/PLC de-energized to avoid burning
components and also to allow them to be identified.
5.1 GROUNDING
Use the screws indicated in Figure 2.1 on page 2-2 to ground the product. The screws are connected internally;
however, the connection of both ensures better grounding.
5.2 EXPANSION LIMITS
The accessory limit depends on the product to which the expansions are connected (RUW100 or PLCs).
An error will be generated in the programming software if this limit is exceeded.
Refer to the user manual of each product for the limits of each model and other information.

5.3 MOD1.YZ - DIGITAL INPUTS / OUTPUTS
5.3.1 MOD1.00 - 24DIS
5.3.1.1 Digital Inputs
The MOD1.00 has 24 isolated digital inputs that must be excited by an external 24 Vdc source. The inputs are
bidirectional, which means the input common can be connected to either the negative or the Vdc of the power
supply.
Three common pins are available, one for DI1 to DI8, another for DI9 to DI16 and another for DI17 to DI24, thus
allowing a group to be connected to V+ and the other to the GND. This feature gives more flexibility to the project,
since it allows both PNP and NPN contacts of a device to be connected to the MOD1.00 inputs.
The input activation levels are 10 to 28.8 Vdc for high level and below 3 Vdc for low level.
The example of Figure 5.1 on page 5-3 shows inputs DI1, DI3, DI5, DI9 DI11 and DI13 activated by +24 V from
the power supply (PNP), and inputs DI17, DI21 and DI24 activated by the negative of the power supply (NPN).
Table 5.1 on page 5-3 contains the name and function of each of the pins of the Digital Input connectors.
For those connectors, use AWG 30-16 cables.
