External Interfaces

• This ST unit’s serial interface is not isolated.When the host (PLC) unit is also not iso-
lated, and to reduce the risk of damaging the RS232C/RS422/RS485 circuit, be sure
to connect pin #5 SG (Signal Ground) terminal.
• Similarly shaped connectors are used for COM1 and COM2 of the ST. Therefore, be
sure to connect the correct connectors. Communication is not available unless the
connectors are connected correctly.

• When isolation is necessary, you can use the RS232C isolation unit (CA3-ISO232-01) on
COM1.

Be aware of the following items when
building the ST into an end-use product:
• The ST unit’s rear face is not approved as
an enclosure. When building the ST unit
into an end-use product, be sure to use an
enclosure that satisfies standards as the
end-use product’s overall enclosure.
• The ST unit must be used indoors only.
• Install and operate the ST with its front
panel facing outwards.
• If the ST is mounted so as to cool itself
naturally, be sure to install it in a vertical
panel. Also, it’s recommended that the ST
should be mounted at least 100mm away
from any other adjacent structures or
machine parts. The temperature must be
checked on the final product in which the
ST is installed.
