GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Connection
  Network: Euro type connector terminal
  (applicable wire size: 0.2 to 2.5 mm2, stripped length 7 mm)
  Internal bus: Via the Installation Base
  (model: R3-BSx)
  Internal Power: Via the Installation Base
  (model: R3-BSx)
  RUN contact output: M3 separable screw terminal
  (torque 0.5 N·m)
Screw terminal: Nickel-plated steel
Isolation: CC-Link to internal bus or internal power to RUN contact output
RUN indicator: Bi-color (green/red) LED
Green turns ON when CC-Link communication is normal and fieldbus communication on the R3 Network module side is also normal; or
Red turns ON when receiving data.
Indication selectable with DIP SW3-4.
ERR indicator: Bi-color (green/red) LED
Green turns ON/blinks in communication errors (OFF with wire breakdown; Green blinks with setting errors); or
Red turns ON when transmitting data.
Indication selectable with DIP SW3-4.
■ RUN CONTACT OUTPUT
RUN contact: Turns on while the green RUN LED is ON
(only when CC-Link communication and the
field bus built-in the interface module are in normal).
Rated load: 250 V AC @ 0.5 A (cos ø = 1)
30 V DC @ 0.5 A (resistive load)
(Less than 50 V AC to conform with EU Directive)
Maximum switching voltage: 250 V AC or 30 V DC
Maximum switching power: 250 VA or 150 W
Minimum load: 1 V DC @ 1 mA
Mechanical life: 2 × 107 cycles (300 cycles/min.)
When driving an inductive load, external contact protection and noise quenching recommended.
