■ As for the sensor input, and input/output signals of controllers, adopt the number of
inputs/outputs based on customers’ operation. (Details => P.34)■ The safety circuit includes the emergency stop equipment and magnet contactor.

Power supply equipment to supply 24V DC to this product (for two units) ※● Switching power supply (24V DC/30A, 720W or more) ※● 24V DC battery※Specifications for one unit are 24V DC/15A, 360W or more.
■ A switching power supply is recommended as the DC power supply (24V DC±10%) for
controllers.

■ Use a stabilized power supply that has an adequate capacity of 24V DC and 15A or higher
per 1unit and does not fluctuate due to load variation.

■ A transformer type power supply cannot be used.
■ Secure a voltage of 24V DC±10% at the power supply terminal of a controller.
■ If the power supply capacity is less than the rated power of this product, it may result in
malfunction and/or damage due to the supply voltage drop. Be sure to use a power supply
with a capacity larger than the rated power of this product.

Troubleshooting① 24V DC power supply

Before introducing this product prepare the following devices separately.

■ The power supply should not activate protection with peak current 30A, 1 ms or below per
1unit.

■ For the power supply unit, use an isolation type switching power supply compliant with thesafety standard (IEC62368-1). Do not use a non-isolation type power supply for safety
reasons, since it may not conform to the radiation noise regulations.

breaker

Regarding equipment where this product is installed, check that a breaker withappropriate capacity for AC input specifications of the 24V DC power supply unit has
been installed. If abnormal operation should occur, protection through the breakercould be effective.
Note that when using an earth leakage breaker, select one that is “inverter
corresponding”. Some inverter non-corresponding earth leakage breakers could resultin malfunction, since they may recognize high-frequency components of the switching
power supply as leakage.

⑨-2 Operation check

When the 24V DC power supply unit has been installed, check that the breaker andsafety circuit can work properly. Perform operation following the trial operation after
checking them.
① Input to the 24V DC power supply unit (AC power) is securely turned ON/OFF
when turning ON/OFF the breaker.
② This product input (24V DC) is securely turned OFF/ON when turning ON/OFF

When the start-up inspection has finished, perform the trial run with careful attention
to the following points, and check that operation is correctly performed.
■ Prevent other devices around the product from operating.

Other devices incorporated in the system, such as conveyor lines, could create
dangerous situations, since totes may start to be transferred from upstream when
the trial run is driven.
Check carefully that other conveyors or devices will not operate by trial run.

■ Make sure to check that wiring and controller settings have been carried out
