4.2 SIO Converter (Optional)
Model number: RCB-TU-SIO-A (Vertical installation)
RCB-TU-SIO-B (Horizontal installation)
This unit is required if any of the following conditions applies:
[1] The actuator’s rear cover cannot be reached and therefore the teaching pendant or PC cannot be connected.
[2] Want to execute movement operation or parameter edit for all axes when multiple axes are connected to the
single equipment.
z Explanation of functions
[1] Power/emergency-stop terminal block (TB2)
Provide a contact output for the emergency-stop switch on the teaching pendant (RCA-T/E).
EMG1 and EMG2 connect to the emergency-stop switch on the teaching pendant when the
PORT switch is ON, or are shorted when the PORT switch is OFF.
These terminals comprise an interlock with a safety circuit provided by the user.
Positive side of the 24-V power supply
Power supply for the teaching pendant and conversion circuit
Current consumption: 0.1 A max.

[2] Link-connection terminal block (TB1)
A connection port for linking the controller.
“A” on the left side connects to SGA (wire color: orange/red 1) in the extension cable or “A” on the isolated PIO
terminal block TB2.
“B” on the right side connects to SGB (wire color: orange/black 1) in the extension cable or “B” on the isolated
PIO terminal block TB2.
(Note) Be sure to use twisted pair wires for the above two lines (SGA/SGB).
[3] D-sub, 9-pin connector
A connection port with the host PC or PLC’s communication module.
[4] Mini DIN, 8-pin connector
A connection port with the teaching pendant.
