10) Operation mode setting switch
This is a switch to change the operation mode between Automatic Operation (AUTO) and
Manual Operation (MANU). The operation modes are provided to avoid the duplication of
the operation using PC software or a teaching pendant (described as teaching tool from
now on) and the operation with Fieldbus.
For the details of the mode selection, refer to 12) System I/O connector.
11) SIO connector
This is a connector dedicated for the teaching tool connection.
12) System I/O connector
This is a connector for additional devices for the input of all-axes external emergency stop
and AUTO/MANU switchover.
It is connected in a series with the operation mode setting switch (AUTO/MANU) on the
front panel. The controller can be in the following modes by the mode selection on each
switch and teaching tool.
Condition MSCON

Gateway condition (status) is displayed.
[Refer to 3.11 Gateway status LED for the details.]
14), 15) Field network connector and field network status LED
Connect the field network cable to connector. [Refer to 2.2 [8] Wiring for Field Network
for details.]
Field network status LEDs show the status (condition) of the fieldbus.
[Refer to 3.10 Field network status LEDs for the details.]

16) Absolute Battery Unit [Refer to Chapter 6.]
If the actuator is the absolute encoder type, set one unit of this battery unit per unit of
actuator to the base frame on the bottom of MSCON, and connect it to the battery
connector (Note) on the driver board.
Note : There is an indication of axis number to the battery connectors. Connect Absolute
Battery Unit to the battery connector of the axis number that an absolute encoder
type actuator is connected. [Refer to 2.4.4 Battery Connection.]
Caution: When in MANU Mode of the teaching tool, select “PIO startup prohibited” for the
operation mode.
