Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the A1SY42 compatible with the A2S or Q-series base units?
A: No. The A1SY42 is designed exclusively for AnS-series slim base units (A1S33B, A1S35B, A1S38B, A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B). It is not compatible with A2S-series or MELSEC-Q/L/iQ-R base units.
Q: Can the A1SY42 drive 24 VDC relay coils directly?
A: Yes, provided the relay coil current does not exceed 0.1 A per output point and 1.6 A total. For higher-current loads, use an interposing relay or solid-state relay.
Q: What is the difference between A1SY42 and A1SY41?
A: The A1SY41 uses a 32-point output configuration with a different connector pitch, while the A1SY42 provides 16 points with a 40-pin connector. The A1SY42 offers higher per-point current capacity (0.1 A vs 0.05 A on A1SY41).
Q: Is a separate external power supply required?
A: Yes. The A1SY42 requires an external 12–24 VDC power supply for the output load circuit. The PLC base unit power supply does not power the field-side outputs.
Q: Can I use GX Works3 to program a system with the A1SY42?
A: No. The MELSEC-A series is supported by GX Developer and GX Works2 only. GX Works3 is for iQ-R and iQ-F series CPUs.
