Input/Output Terminals (Input/Output Ports) A200/A100 Hardware Cautions Related to Parallel Input/Output Cautions Related to Parallel Input/Output The input/output ports are housed in the particular controller being used. The ports differ according to the inspection specifications. See the individual controller’s user manual for details.
A200/A100 Hardware Input/Output Terminals (Input/Output Ports) Cautions Related to Parallel Input/Output 3.4.2 About Parallel Input − The controller accepts ( ) common. To prevent input signal chattering, use a ± non−contact input (transistor etc.). If chattering occurs, inputs can be missed, and input recognition delayed.
Input/Output Terminals (Input/Output Ports) A200/A100 Hardware Flash Output Sync Signal Flash Output Sync Signal Terminal Positions COM: The flash terminal is located in the output terminal. FLASH FLASH: The common terminal for use by the flash is a specialized terminal. Do not use it together with other common lines.

A200/A100 Hardware Input/Output Terminals (Input/Output Ports) Flash Output Sync Signal Using the Flash Output Sync Signal Correctly − The flash’s common wire uses a specialized terminal. Do not use it together with another common wire. − You cannot use the same strobe for multiple cameras connected to separate controllers.
Input/Output Terminals (Input/Output Ports) A200/A100 Hardware Electric Power Wiring Electric Power Wiring Terminal Positions 24 V DC electric power is supplied by attach- ing wires to the input terminal block’s (+) and (–) terminals and to the ground terminal (frame ground).
