Can I use a brake resistor with the FR-S500?

The product option page of your website explains that the 0.4 kW to 3.7 kW types allow for connection of resistors. However, there is no explanation on terminals to connect resistors in description of terminals.
Has resistor connection to terminal become available recently or the description is incorrect?

Answer

The brake unit and its resistor FR-S520-0.4K to 3.7K are available.
Mitsubishi Electric FA Global Website also explains so.
(Note that the GZG GRZG discharging resistor introduced on the website is intended for use with the brake unit and not for standalone use.)
Therefore, the brake resistor (MYS, MRS, or FR-ABR) cannot be used alone.
