Q.I am using an AZ Series EtherNet/IP compatible driver. Is it necessary to wire direct I/O (CN7)?
Direct I/O allows you to operate the motor via EtherNet/IP without wiring.
However, wiring will be required in the following cases.
- To use a sensor with a positive limit switch and a negative limit switch for safety.
- To perform return-to-home using the home sensor
- To input I/O using switches, etc.
- To run a motor using pulse input
- To physically check the output
Direct I/O is connected to the I/O signal connector (CN7)*.
- *The input/output signal connector for AZD-KREP is CN5.

Direct I/O assignments can be changed using the support software MEXE02 or EtherNet/IP communication.
- *The direct I/O signal assignment change is reflected during configuration or when the power supply is rebooted.
