Sensor block
Plug-in unit
sensor main
block
SL-BMW
One sensor main block allows four plug-in units to be connected, and if three
extension blocks are used, total 16 plug-in units can be connected.
A commercial MIL connector cable links it to a PLC input module.
The ORed output of the self-diagnosis outputs of the connected
sensors can be output as Channel 0. However, in this case,
a plug-in unit cannot be connected at Channel 0.

(Note 1)
SL-BXJ Eight input devices can be connected to one extension block.
The connections are simple using snap-female connectors.

Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specied precisely, the conditions
used were an ambient temperature of +20 °C +68 °F.
2) PNP output device cannot be connected.
3) Neither SL-BMW, SL-BX or SL-BW consumes current by itself.
4) Maximum 15 inputs are allowed if the self-diagnosis output is used.
5) Maximum 3 inputs are allowed if the self-diagnosis output is used.
6) Use the extension connector cap and the plug-in connector cap to cover each
exposed connector. Three plug-in connector caps are joined together. If two, or
less, are to be used, cut to separate them.
