CAUTION
Operator Alarm on Low Battery Voltage
This controller is equipped with the following backup batteries for retention of data in the event of power
failure:
[1] System-memory backup battery
For retention of position data, global variables/flags, error list, strings, etc.
[2] Absolute encoder backup battery
For retention of encoder rotation data.
Since these batteries are not rechargeable, they will eventually be consumed. Unless the batteries are
replaced in a timely manner, the voltage will drop to a level where the data can no longer be retained. If a
power failure occurs in this condition, the data will be lost (The life of each battery varies depending on the
operating time).
turned on.
(Reference)
System-memory backup battery --- An alarm occurs when the voltage drops to approximately 2.6 V.
Absolute-encoder backup battery --- An alarm occurs when the voltage drops to approximately 3.2 V.
Once the data is lost, the controller will not operate normally the next time the power is
Data backup becomes impossible at a battery voltage of
approximately 2.3 V (rated voltage: 3.0 V).
Data backup becomes impossible at a battery voltage of
approximately 2.7 V (rated voltage: 3.6 V).
To prevent this problem, the controller can output a low battery voltage alarm from its I/O port.
Output port No. 313 is assigned as an alarm output for low system-memory backup battery voltage.
Output port No. 314 is assigned as an alarm output for low absolute-encoder backup battery voltage.
It is recommended that this function be utilized to prevent unnecessary problems resulting rom low battery
voltage (consumption of battery life).
The person in charge of system design should utilize this function to provide a method for issuing an
operator alarm using an output signal from an I/O port, while the person in charge of electrical design
should provide a circuit implementation that has the same effect.
Refer to the applicable section in the operating manual for the batter replacement.
It is recommended that you always backup the latest data to a PC in case of voltage drop in teh systemmemory backup battery or unexpected controller failure.

CAUTION
Drive-source Cutoff Relay Error (Detection of Fused Relay: E6D)
Because of their circuit configuration, XSEL-PX controllers of single-phase, standard specification are the
only class of controllers that may generate a “drive-source cutoff relay error (E6D),” notifying fusion of an
internal relay, when the time after the power is turned off until it is turned back on (= until the power is
reconnected) is too short.
Although the specific time varies depending on the input voltage and number of external regenerative
resistance boxes being connected, as a guide wait for at least 40 seconds before reconnecting the power.

Prohibited Handling of Cables
Caution
When designing an application system using actuators and controllers, incorrect wiring or connection of
each cable may cause unexpected problems such as a disconnected cable or poor contact, or even a
runaway system. This section explains prohibited handling of cables. Read the information carefully to
connect the cables properly.
Ten Rules for Handling Cables (Must be Observed!)
1. Do not let the cable flex at a single point.
Steel band
(piano wire)
Bundle loosely.
2. Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist. 3. Do not pull the cable with a strong force.
4. Do not let the cable receive a turning force at a
single point.
5. When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack
and do not tension it too tight.
Use a curly
cable.
6. Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the
cable.
Do not use a spiral tube
where the cable flexes
frequently.
Pre-9
7. Do not let the cable got tangled or kinked in a cable track or flexible tube. When bundling the cable,
keep a certain degree of flexibility (so that the cable will not become too taut when bent).
8. Do not cause the cables to occupy more than
60% of the space in the cable track.
Cable track
Cable
10. Always use a robot cable
if the cable is likely to flex significantly.
9. Do not lay signal lines together with circuit lines
that create a strong electric field.

Signal lines (flat cable)
Duct
[Standard structure of cable]
The standard structure of
cable will vary depending on
the manufacturer and type of
cable.
Cover
Shield
Protective layer
Signal line (copper + tin)
Absorbing material (When the
cable is bent, this material is
crushed by the surrounding signal
lines to maintain the shape of the
signal lines.)
Need for Robot Cables
A cable connected to a moving part of an actuator system will inevitably receive repeated bending
loads at the base of the cable. As a result, the cores in the cable may break over time. To minimize the
risk of cable breakage, we strongly recommend that a robot cable
offering significantly higher flexibility
be used in this type of application.

Introduction
This controller receives power in order to drive the actuator motor(s) (three-phase/single-phase, 200 to
220 V) and to operate the controller itself (200 to 220 V). (*The single-phase power specification is
applicable only to single-phase controllers.)
The actuator motor drive power supply is controlled independently of the control power supply, and the
internal operations of the controller are different depending on whether it is of the global specification or
standard specification.
With the standard controller, the main CPU in the system performs all self-diagnosis checks and supplies
power to the drive part only when the system can operate properly.
With the global controller, the user must provide a separate circuit that cuts off the three phase 200 VAC
motor power supplied to the controller. If this drive power cutoff circuit is not provided, safe operation of
the controller cannot be guaranteed.
With the global controller, always configure a safety circuit (drive-source cutoff circuit).
Turn on the controller power before or simultaneously with the motor power.
Turn off the controller power after or simultaneously with the motor power.
Before performing a check or inserting/removing a connector, turn off the power and wait for at least 10
minutes. Even after the power is turned off, the internal circuits will continue to carry high voltages for a
short period.
Duty of cartesian-axis actuators
IAI recommends that our cartesian-axis actuators be used at a duty of 50% or less as a guideline in
view of the relationship of service life and accuracy. The duty is calculated by the formula specified
below:
Duty (%) =
Inactivity time Motion
Time onDecelerati / onAccelerati
X 100
After turning off the control power, be sure to wait for at least 5 seconds (or 40 seconds in the case of a
P type controller of single-phase specification) before turning it back on. Any shorter interval may
generate “E6D: Drive-source cutoff error.”
Do not insert or remove connectors while the controller power is on. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Precautions for when introducing the linear movement axis absolute specification:
Follow the steps below to initialize the absolute data backup battery circuit and thereby prevent early
consumption of the battery:
[1] Set the absolute data backup battery enable/disable switch to
the bottom position.
(The controller is shipped with this switch set to the bottom
position.)
[2] Connect the encoder cable.
[3] Turn on the power.
[4] Set the absolute data backup battery enable/disable switch to
the top (ENB) position.
If the encoder cable of a linear movement axis was removed to
relocate the actuator, etc., you must always perform the above
steps.
Read the operation manual for each actuator. If you have purchased our optional PC software and/or

Caution
Chapter 1 Safety Precautions
The X-SEL PX/QX Controller can support a combination of a SCARA robot and linear movement axes to
perform integrated control of all axes including peripheral equipment. In other words, the controller has the
ability to control systems of all sizes ranging from a small system to a large factory automation system. In
general, however, the occurrence rate of accidents due to incorrect operation or carelessness will rise as
the system becomes larger and more complex. Please give due consideration to safety measures.
This system product was developed as a drive unit for an automated machine, and as such the maximum
torque and speed are limited to levels acceptable for an automatically driven machine. However, strict
observance of the following items is required to prevent accidents. Also read the appendix entitled, “Safety
Rules and Others.”
1. Do not handle this product in a manner not specified in this manual. If you have any question regarding
the content of this manual, please contact IAI.
2. Always use the specified, genuine IAI cables for wiring between the controller and the actuator.
3. Do not enter the operation area of the machine while the machine is operating or ready to operate (the
controller power is on). If the machine is used in a place accessible to other people, provide an
appropriate safety measure such as enclosing the machine with a cage.
4. When assembling/adjusting or maintaining/inspecting the machine, always turn off the controller power
at the source beforehand. The operator should display in a conspicuous place a sign saying that
operation is in progress and that the power should not be turned on. The operator should keep the
entire power cable beside him or her to prevent another person from inadvertently plugging in the cable.
5. When two or more operators are to work together, they should communicate to ensure safety of all
personnel during the work. In particular, a person turning on/off the power or moving an axis—either
via a motor or manually—must always say what he or she is going to do and confirm the responses
from the others first before actually performing the operation.

Chapter 3 Installation Environment and Selection of Auxiliary Power
Devices
1. Installation Environment
(1) When installing and wiring the controller, do not block the ventilation holes provided for cooling
(insufficient ventilation will not only prevent the product from functioning fully, but it may also result in
damage).
(2) Prevent foreign matter from entering the controller through the ventilation holes. Since the controller
is not designed as dustproof or waterproof, avoid using it in a dusty place or a place subject to water
mist, oil, or cutting fluid.
(3) Do not expose the controller to direct sunlight or radiant heat from a high heat source.
(4) Use the controller in a non-condensing environment free from corrosive or inflammable gases.
(5) Use the controller in an environment where it will not receive external vibration or impact.
(6) Prevent electrical noise from entering the controller or its cables.

2. Heat Radiation and Installation
Design the control panel size, controller layout and cooling method so that the surrounding air temperature
around the controller will be kept at or below 40C.
Install the controller vertically on a wall, as illustrated below. The controller will be cooled by forced
ventilation (exhaust air will be discharged from the top). Be sure to install the controller in the
aforementioned direction and provide a minimum clearance of 150 mm above and 150 mm below the
controller.
If multiple controllers are to be installed side by side, providing additional fans on top of the controllers will
help maintain a uniform surrounding air temperature.
Provide a minimum clearance of 150 mm between the front side of the controller and a wall (enclosure).

3. Selection of Auxiliary Power Devices
This section provides selection guidelines for breakers, earth leakage breakers, contactors, surge
absorbers and noise filters that can be used with the AC power supply line of the X-SEL controller. These
devices must be selected by taking into consideration the power consumption, rush current and maximum
motor drive current of the controller.
(1) Power supply capacity
Calculate the power supply capacity according to 3, “Power Supply Capacity and Heat Output” in Part 1,
“Installation.”
Power supply capacity indicates the rated power supply capacity. The motor current of a given axis may
increase to as much as three times the rated current during high acceleration. Although all four axes of a
SCARA robot will not reach three times the rated current at the same time, consider the possibility of any
one axis reaching three times the rated current and select breakers and other components based on a
power supply capacity of 1.5 times the rated power supply capacity.
(2) Leak current
When installing the controller, always provide an inverter-type earth leakage breaker.
The table below lists the controller leak currents excluding the currents leaked from the servo system.
Model
PX type (Standard specification) 0.4 mA (200-VAC input) 2 mA or less (200-VAC input)
QX type (Global specification) 0.2 mA (200-VAC input) 2 mA or less (200-VAC input)
Leak current (control power
supply)
Leak current (Motor power)
(3) Rush current
The table below lists reference rush currents that may be observed in the control power supply and motor
power supply. As for the motor power supply system, the capacitor volume will vary depending on the
number of driver boards installed. However, the maximum current that can flow through the motor power
supply remains the same.

Part 1 Installation
(4) Auxiliary power devices
[1] Circuit breaker
Install a circuit breaker or earth leakage breaker in the AC power-supply line (primary side) of the
controller in order to prevent damage due to power switching and short current. One circuit breaker or
earth leakage breaker can be used to protect both the motor power supply and control power supply.
While the actuator is accelerating or decelerating, the controller current increases to three times
the rated current. Select an appropriate circuit breaker that will not trip when this higher current
flows. If the circuit breaker you have selected trips, change it to one with the next higher level of
rated current.
Select a circuit breaker that will not trip due to rush current. [Refer to the graph of operating
characteristics in the manufacturer’s catalog.]
The rated cutoff current of the selected circuit breaker must be enough to cut off any short-circuit
current, should it flow, without fail.
Rated cutoff current > Short-circuit current = Power-supply capacity on primary side / Powersupply voltage
The rated current of the selected circuit breaker should have an ample allowance.
Rated current of circuit breaker > (Rated motor power-supply capacity [VA] + Control power-supply
capacity [VA]) / AC input voltage x Safety factor (rough guide: 1.2 to 1.4)
[2] Earth leakage breaker
Install an earth leakage breaker on the AC power-supply line side (primary side) of the controller to cut off
earth leakage current. One earth leakage breaker may be used to serve both the motor power and plant
power.
You must select an appropriate earth leakage breaker that can meet your specific purpose, be it
fire protection, protection of human life, or the like. Also measure the earth leakage current at the
location where the earth leakage breaker is to be installed.
The earth leakage current changes according to the capacity of the motor to be connected,
lengths of cables, and surrounding environment. So that proper earth leakage protection can be
provided, measure the earth leakage current at the location where the earth leakage breaker is to
be installed.
Use an earth leakage breaker of harmonic type.
[3] Electromagnetic contactor
If your controller is of the global specification, an electromagnetic contactor must be installed in front of the
motor power input port on the controller so that the motor drive source can be cut off. Select a product that
meets your requirement for safety category. Refer to Chapter 6, “Safety Circuit,” for the configuration of
the safety circuit.
9

Part 1 Installation
[4] Noise filter, ring core and clamp filters
The global specification has no built-in noise filters in the motor power supply. If your controller is of the
global specification, therefore, be sure to install noise filters and ring cores for the motor drive power
supply externally to the controller. Even with the standard controller, noise filters and ring cores must be
installed if noise-sensitive external equipment will be used.
With both the global specification and standard specification, use the same noise filters and ring cores to
protect both the motor power supply and control power supply.
Install clamp filters to ensure compliance with the EC Directives or if necessary for other reasons.
Clamp filter A
Install this clamp filter to the control power cable and motor cable (if there are multiple axes,
connect to the cables of all axes).
Clamp filter B
Install this clamp filter to the motor power cable.
Caution: Be sure to use the following noise filter, ring core and clamp filters to ensure compliance with
the EC Directives (IAI uses the following filters in the evaluation certification tests under the
EMC Directives).
Recommended Noise Filter, Ring Core and Clamp Filters
Supplier Model
Noise filter Densei-Lambda
MC1320 (for three-phase power supply)
MXB-1220-33 (for single-phase power supply)
Ring core NEC Tokin ESD-R-25
Clamp filter A TDKZCAT3035-1330
Clamp filter B Kitagawa Industries RFC-H13
[5] Surge absorber
With both the global specification and standard specification, the motor drive part of the X-SEL controller
has no built-in surge absorber to protect the equipment against surge noises that may generate in the
controller due to lightning, etc.
Therefore, a surge absorber must be installed externally to the controller if you want to increase the surge
resistance of your equipment.
Caution: Besure to use the following surge absorber to ensure compliance with the EC Directives.
Recommended surge absorber:

PE on the power terminal block is used for protective grounding. Provide Class D grounding from this
terminal.
Use a grounding cable with a wire size of 1.0 mm
than the AC power cable.
Class D grounding
(protective grounding)
[1] Notes on wiring method
Use twisted cables for the AC power cable and 24-VDC external power cable. Wire the controller cables
separately from lines creating a strong electric field such as power circuit lines (by not bundling them
together or placing in the same cable duct).
If you wish to extend the motor cable or encoder cable beyond the length of each supplied cable, please
contact IAI’s Technical Service Section or Sales Engineering Section.

(3) Noise sources and noise elimination
There are many noise sources, but solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays are of particular
concern when building a system. Noise from these parts can be eliminated using the measures
specified below:
[1] AC solenoid valve, magnet switch, relay
Measure --- Install a surge killer in parallel with the coil.
Surge killer
Point
Wire from each coil over the shortest distance.
Installing a surge killer on the terminal block, etc.,
will be less effective because of a longer distance
from the coil.
[2] DC solenoid valve, magnet switch, relay
Measure --- Install a diode in parallel with the coil. Determine the diode capacity in accordance with the
load capacity.
In a DC circuit, connecting a diode in reversed polarity will
damage the diode, internal parts of the controller and DC
power supply. Exercise due caution.
Diode
The above noise elimination measures are particularly important when a 24-VDC relay is driven directly by
a controller output and there is also a 100-VAC solenoid valve, etc.

Cable size 2.0 ~ 5.5 mm2 min.
Grounding method Class D grounding
When a linear movement axis decelerates or moves downward, regenerative
energy is produced. The capacitor and resistor in the controller alone may not
be able to absorb this regenerative energy (in which case an “Error No. 60C,
Power-system overhear error” will generate). In this case, connect a
regenerative unit or units.
Whether or not your system needs one or more regenerative units depends on
the specific application such as the configuration of linear movement axes.
Refer to Appendix, “Number of Regenerative Units to be Connected.”
If all axes are SCARA axes, no regenerative unit is required.

(SCARA axis only)
[20] Brake power input
connector
This connector is used to input the power for SCARA brake control. 24 VDC
must be supplied externally.
Connect the SCARA-axis brake power to both the brake power cable from
the SCARA robot and this connector.
A power input connector for driving the brake of a linear axis, high-speed
SCARA robot (NSN**…) or actuator with an arm length of 700 or 800.
24 VDC must be supplied externally. If the specified power is not supplied,
the actuator brake cannot be released. Be sure to supply the power to this
connector if you are using a high-speed SCARA robot (NSN**…), actuator
with an arm length of 700 or 800 or linear axis with brake.
As for the brake power cable, use a shielded cable and connect the shield
on the 24-V power-supply side. The bottom side of the connector connects
to +24 V.
This connector accepts a switch that releases the brake of a linear
movement axis externally from the controller.
Shorting the COM and BKRMT* terminals of this connector will release the
brake.
Use this connector if you want to operate the linear movement axis manually
in the event of a power failure or error in the controller.

1.3 Differences between QX Type (Global Specification) and PX Type (Standard Specification)
Users require different safety categories in accordance with the overall configuration of their equipment.
The QX type (global specification) controller has no built-in drive source cutoff circuit so that the user can
design their equipment to a desired safety category. The PX type (standard specification) controller has a
built-in circuit for cutting off the drive source inside the controller using a relay. The differences between
these two specifications are summarized below. Items not specified in the table are basically the same
between the two specifications.

3. Power Source Capacity and Heat Output
The power consumption and heat output of the X-SEL controller will vary depending on the number of
connected axes and I/O configuration. This section explains how to estimate the power source capacity
and heat output of your X-SEL controller.
The X-SEL controller requires the following power supplies:
A. Control power
Power to the logic control part of the controller. Single-phase 200 VAC must be supplied.
B. Motor power
Power for driving the actuator. Three-phase (single-phase) 200 VAC must be supplied.
* The single-phase power specification is applicable only to single-phase controllers.
C. I/O power
If a DIO card is installed in an I/O slot, 24 VDC must be supplied.
D. Brake power
24 VDC must be supplied only when a brake type actuator is driven.
(1) Power source capacity and heat output of the control part
The control part consists of the standard units connected to every controller and optional units such as an
I/O card. Therefore, the power consumption and heat output of the control part will vary depending on the
system configuration.
Additionally, heat outputs from the units operated by an external power source must also be considered.
The table below lists the power consumption of various controller units.

[1] Control power source capacity
The power source capacity of the control power supply is obtained by applying the efficiency
coefficient and power factor to the sum of all power consumptions of controlled units, based on the
applicable values shown in the table.
Control power source capacity [VA] = (Power consumption of each controlled unit x Quantity)
0.7 (Efficiency coefficient) 0.6 (Power factor)
[2] Heat output of the control system
The heat output of the controller’s control system is obtained as the total sum of all internal power
consumptions of controlled units and internal power consumptions of external power sources, based
on the applicable values shown in the table.
Heat output from control system [W] =
(Internal power consumption of each controlled unit x Quantity) + (Internal power
consumption of each external power source x Quantity).
[3] I/O power-source capacity
The I/O power source capacity (24 VDC) is obtained as the total sum of all power consumptions of
external power sources for DIO cards.
I/O power source capacity [W] =

[4] Brake power source capacity
The brake power source capacity (24 VDC) is obtained as the total sum of all power consumptions of
external power sources for brakes.
Brake power source capacity [W] =

(2) Power consumption and heat output of the motor drive part
Both the power consumption and heat output of the motor drive part will vary depending on the number of
axes connected to the controller and wattage configuration. The table below lists per axis motor power
consumptions.
The power values in the table include the motor drive power, copper loss and driver output loss.
[1] Motor power source capacity
The power source capacity of the motor power supply is obtained as the total sum of all powers for
the number of actuators used, based on the applicable values shown in the table.
Motor power source capacity [VA] = (Power of each axis 0.6 [Power factor])
[2] Heat output of the motor power supply
The heat output from the controller’s motor power supply is obtained as the total sum of all output
stage losses for the number of actuators used, based on the applicable values shown in the table.

Chapter 6 Safety Circuit
The circuit configuration for embodying safety actions such as emergency stop is different between the
standard specification and global specification of the X-SEL controller.
The standard controller has a built-in drive source cutoff circuit conforming to safety category B.
The global controller has no built-in drive source cutoff circuit so that the user can configure an external
safety circuit appropriate for their equipment configuration.
1. Items to Notes
The following explains the items to note regarding the safety circuit, which apply to both the standard
specification and global specification.
1. Overview of emergency stop action
The emergency stop control line (drive source cutoff control line) consists entirely of wires. When an
emergency stop operation is performed, the controller will execute a stop action of category 1.
Specifically, it will stop the actuator at the deceleration for emergency stop as specified by a
parameter, and turn off the servo. At this time, the drive source will also be cut off inside the standard
controller. With the global controller, the drive source must be cut off externally to the controller.
As for recovery from an emergency stop state (including recovery of the drive source), an automatic
reset using the emergency stop switch or a method requiring both an emergency stop switch action
and an external input signal can be selected by a parameter (I/O parameter No. 44).
During an emergency stop, the status can be output to an external device (set by I/O parameter No.
48).
2. Overview of enabling action
Enabling operation (via the safety gate or the deadman switch on the teaching pendant) implements
an action similar to the emergency stop action, except that an emergency stop status is not output.
3. Controller operation modes and safety switches on the teaching pendant
The deadman switch on the teaching pendant is enabled only when the controller is in the MANU
mode. The emergency stop switch on the teaching pendant is always enabled as long as the
teaching pendant is connected to the controller.
4. Connecting a teaching pendant while the controller is operating in the AUTO mode
Connecting a teaching pendant to the controller or removing the connected teaching pendant while
the controller is operating in the AUTO mode may trigger an emergency stop. Do not connect/remove
a teaching pendant while the controller is operating in the AUTO mode.
5. Applying voltage to the system I/O
The safety circuit of the X-SEL controller is designed to operate with 24 VDC. Therefore, never apply
100 or 200 VAC to the system I/O. Doing so may damage the internal circuitry of the controller.
The following pages explain the safety circuit of each controller specification in details.
57
57
Part 1 Installation
2. Safety Circuit for PX Type (Standard Specification) Controller
The PX type controller has a built-in drive source cutoff circuit just like IAI’s other controllers.
The drive source cutoff circuit consists of a relay and conforms to safety category B. If your equipment
must meet a higher safety category, use the QX type (global specification) controller explained later.
Connect the control power supply and motor power supply to the same power source and also turn on/off
the control power supply and motor power supply at the same time.
The teaching pendant port can be connected to either an IAI’s standard teaching pendant or ANSI
teaching pendant. Note, however, that redundant safety circuits cannot be configured even if an ANSI
teaching pendant is used.
Set the teaching pendant type switch located above the teaching pendant connector to the position
appropriate for the teaching pendant used. Set the switch to the left for an ANSI teaching pendant, or to
the right for IAI’s standard teaching pendant.
Note: If the teaching pendant type switch is not set properly, the safety gate switch will not function.
The emergency stop line and enabling line are driven by the controller’s internal power supply. It should
be noted that the safety circuit cannot be driven by an external power source.
Do not use the internal power supply provided for the system I/O connector, for any other purpose. It may
damage the equipment or cause it to malfunction.
The tables below list the signals and wiring methods of the safety circuit interface connector.

safety switches.
Ensure that the specified pins are wired correctly, as incorrect wiring will compromise the safety
mechanisms of the controller.
The RDYOUT contacts will close only when the controller has started properly. By connecting these
contacts in series with similar contacts of other equipment, the soundness of the entire system can be
checked easily.

3. Safety Circuit for QX Type (Global Specification) Controller
The global controller has no internal drive source cutoff circuit so that the user can configure a desired
drive source cutoff circuit externally to the controller to conform to the required safety category.
The safety circuit consists of two circuits: the emergency stop (EMG) circuit and enable (ENB) circuit.
Each circuit adopts a redundant design, so a safety circuit conforming to a higher safety category of up to
level 4 can be configured using an external drive source cutoff circuit.
Since this controller has no built-in drive source cutoff circuit, be sure to install a drive source cutoff circuit
in the motor power circuit. It is recommended that the control power supply be wired from the same power
source as the motor power supply at a point before the drive-source cutoff part is connected.
Please note that IAI is not liable for any losses arising from a malfunction of the safety circuit configured
by the user.
The ANSI safety standard can be met only when an ANSI teaching pendant is connected to the teaching
port.
The redundant emergency stop lines and enabling lines are designed with the assumption that they will be
driven by a power source external to the controller. Note, however, that the inputs to the contacts that
provide for emergency stop action and enabling action operate on the internal power supply.
Do not use the internal power supply provided for the system I/O connector for any other purpose. It may
damage the equipment or cause it to malfunction.
The tables below list the signals and wiring methods of the safety circuit interface connector. The
connector pin assignments and internal circuit components are the same as those of the standard
specification.

In the table, the signals shown in fields (EMGin, EMG1, SDN, ENBin, ENB1) must always be
connected regardless of the required safety category. If these signals are not connected, the safety
functions will be compromised.
In the table, the signals shown in fields (EMG2, ENB2) must be connected to meet safety category 3
or above. They are designed to provide redundant safety circuits.
In the table, the signal shown in fields (DET) provides an input for detecting malfunction of the safety
circuit (mainly fused relay contacts). This signal is disabled when the controller is shipped. To enable the
DET input, set bits 8 to 11 of I/O parameter No. 24 to “1” (= change I/O parameter No. 24 from the default
setting of 10000 to 10100).
Be sure to use this signal if you want the X-SEL controller to detect fused contacts. If the safety circuit is
configured as a closed system to manage fused contacts and other problems independently, safety
category 4 can be met without connecting this signal to the controller.
DET
DET (IN) and DET (+24V) are dry contact input terminals consisting of a photocoupler. By inputting
fused contact detection signals from the drive source cutoff safety circuit, the controller will be able to
detect problems in the external safety circuit. To use the DET terminal, change I/O parameter No. 24
from the default setting of 10000 to 10100 (by setting bits 8 to 11 of I/O parameter No. 24 to “1”).
SDN
SDN (OUT+) and SDN (OUT-) are output contacts that remain open while the controller is prohibiting
the motor power supply from the external power source. This condition will occur immediately after the
controller power is turned on, when an error occurs in the equipment, or when a drive source cutoff
cancellation command is not received by the EMG or ENB line. Configure the circuit in such a way that
the drive source will never be turned on when these contacts are open.
When turning on the power, turn on the controller power first, confirm that the SDN contacts are closed,
and then turn on the drive power. (If the control power and drive power are turned on simultaneously,
“E6D: Drive-source cutoff relay error” will generate.

Part 1 Installation
EMG1/EMG2, ENB1/ENB2
EMG1 (line+)/(line-) and EMG2 (line+)/(line-) are redundant emergency stop control lines.
ENB1 (line+)/(line-) and ENB2 (line+)/(line-) are redundant enabling control lines.
Use these lines to cut off the external drive source. Since they are completely dry signal lines,
configure a relay circuit using an external power source.
EMGin, ENBin
EMGin (IN) and EMGin (+24V) are contact inputs that notify the controller of the drive source cutoff
input received by the drive source cutoff circuit via an EMG signal. ENBin (IN) and ENBin (+24V) are
contact inputs that notify the controller via an ENB signal. These contact signals are used to decelerate
the actuator to a stop or turn off the servo. Normally, a safety relay output is connected to each of
these inputs.
RDY
RDY (OUT+) and RDY (OUT-) are output contacts that will close only when the controller has started
properly. By connecting these contacts in series with similar contacts of other equipment, the
soundness of the entire system can be checked easily.
