1. DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during
external power supply problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for
opposite movements (such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the
equipment at the upper and lower positioning limits).
2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs
are turned off. Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control
block, output control may be disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
3) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or
off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to
ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
• At Forward/Reverse rotation limits, make sure to wire the contacts with NC, negative-logic. Wiring contacts with NO,
positive-logic may cause serious accidents.
• Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or accidents due
to abnormal data written to the PLC under the influence of noise:
1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line or load line.
Otherwise, noise disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line
at least 100mm (3.94") or more away from the main circuit or high-voltage lines.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not ground them at
the same point as the high-voltage lines.
• Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the built-in programming port, input connectors, power
connectors or optical connectors. Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.

Reference
26
Reference
• Make sure to cut off all phases of the power supply externally before attempting installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock or damage to the product.
• Connect the DC power supply wiring to the dedicated terminals described in the manual.
If an AC power supply is connected to a DC input terminal or DC power supply terminal, the product will burn out.
• Perform class D grounding (grounding resistance: 100Ω or less) to the grounding terminal on the 20SSC-H with a
wire as thick as possible.
Do not use common grounding with heavy electrical systems (refer to subsection 5.2.2).
• Make sure to attach the top cover, before turning on the power or initiating operation after installation or wiring work.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Connect the inputs of the 20SSC-H to the dedicated connectors described in the manual.
If an AC power supply is connected to a DC input terminal or DC power supply terminal, the product will burn out.
• Do not wire vacant terminals externally.
Doing so may damage the product.
• When drilling screw holes or wiring, make sure that cutting and wiring debris do not enter the ventilation slits.
Failure to do so may cause fire, equipment failures or malfunctions.
• Make sure to properly wire to the FX Series terminal blocks in accordance with the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause electric shock, equipment failures, a short-circuit, wire breakage, malfunctions, or
damage to the product.
- The disposal size of the cable end should follow the dimensions described in the manual of the PLC main unit.
- Tightening torque should follow the specifications in the manual of the PLC main unit.
• Do not wire or bundle the SSCNET III cables together with or lay them near a main circuit cable, high-voltage line,
or load lines separate from the PLC. As a guideline, lay the SSCNET III cables at least 100mm (3.94") or more
away from power lines. Failure to do so may cause surge induction and/or noise disturbance.
• Optical fiber end face defects that are caused from contaminants may deteriorate the signal transmission rate and
cause malfunction. When removing the SSCNET III cabling from the 20SSC-H port, make sure to attach the
protective caps to the cable connectors and ports.
• Do not remove the SSCNET III cable from its port while the power is ON for the 20SSC-H or Servo Amp. Do not
look directly into the optical fiber cable ends or SSCNET III ports, as doing so may cause eye damage. (The laser
for SSCNET III communication complies with Class 1 as defined in JISC6802 and IEC60825-1)
• When handling the SSCNET III cables, do not expose them to strong impact, lateral pressure, excessive pulling
tension, abrupt bending or twisting. Failure to do so may crack the glass fiber and cause signal transmission loss.
Note that a short SSCNET III cable is highly susceptible to twisting.
• Make sure to use the SSCNET III cable within the allowable temperature range (as shown in subsection 5.1.1). Do
not expose the SSCNET III cabling to fire or excessive heat. Avoid contact with high temperature components such
as the servo amplifier radiator, regenerative brake and servo motor.
• Do not force the SSCNET III cable into a bend radius smaller than the minimum allowable bend radius. (Refer to
subsection 5.4.1 Precautions for the SSCNET III cable wiring.)
28
Reference

(2)
Safety Precautions
(Read these precautions before use.)
• Put the SSCNET III cable in the duct or fix the cable at the closest part to the 20SSC-H with bundle material in order
to prevent SSCNET III cable from putting its own weight on SSCNET III connector. When laying cable, the optical
cord should be given loose slack to avoid from becoming smaller than the minimum bend radius, and it should not
be twisted.
Also, fix and hold it in position with using cushioning such as sponge or rubber which does not contain plasticizing
material.
When using adhesive tape to bundle, use flame-resistant acetate cloth adhesive tape (e.g. 570F by Teraoka
Seisakusho Co., Ltd.).
• Migrating plasticizer is used for vinyl tape. Keep the MR-J3BUS M, and MR-J3BUS M-A cables away from vinyl
tape because the optical characteristic may be affected.
Generally, soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene resin (PE) and fluorine resin contain non-migrating plasticizer
and they do not affect the optical characteristic of SSCNET III cable. However, some wire sheaths and cable ties,
which contain migrating plasticizer (phthalate ester), may affect MR-J3BUS M and MR-J3BUS M-A cables.
In addition, MR-J3BUS M-B cable is not affected by plasticizer.
• Exposing the SSCNET III cable to solvent/oil may deteriorate the optical fiber and alter its mechanical
characteristics. When using the SSCNET III cable near solvent/oil, take protective measures to shield the SSCNET
III cable.
• When storing the SSCNET III cable, attach the protective cap to the 20SSC-H connector port for dust protection
• Do not remove the protective cap from the 20SSC-H connector port until just before connecting the SSCNET III
cable. Attach the protective cap to the 20SSC-H connector port after removing the SSCNET III cable to protect the
internal optical device from exposure to dust.
• Keep the protective cap and protective tubing clean, and always store them in the provided plastic bag when
removing them from the hardware devices.
• When replacing the 20SSC-H, or when sending the product to a local distributor for repair, make sure to attach the
protective cap to the 20SSC-H connector port. Failure to do so may damage the internal optical device and require
optical device replacement.

1.Introduction
1.1Outline
The FX3U-20SSC-H type positioning block (hereinafter referred to as 20SSC-H) is a special function block
applicable to SSCNET III.
20SSC-H can perform positioning control by servo motor via an SSCNET III applied servo amplifier.
1. 2-axis control is possible
One 20SSC-H controls 2 axes.
20SSC-H applies the 1-speed positioning and interrupt 1-speed constant quantity feed operations for
constant quantity feed control, and also the linear interpolation and circular interpolation operations.

2. Connection to servo amplifier by SSCNET III is possible
• The 20SSC-H connects directly to the MELSERVO (our company's servo amplifier: MR-J3-B, MR-J3W-
B*1, MR-J3-BS*2) via SSCNET III.
*1.The MR-J3W-B can be connected within the functional range of the MR-J3-B.
*2.The MR-J3-BS can be connected to the 20SSC-H later than Ver.1.40.
However, it does not support the fully closed loop system.
• Connection using the SSCNET III cable between the 20SSC-H and the servo amplifier reduces wiring.
(Maximum length is 50m.)
• With SSCNET III cables (optical communication), connections are less susceptible to electromagnetic
noise, etc. from the servo amplifier.
• Setting the servo parameters on the 20SSC-H side and writing/reading the servo parameters to/from the
servo amplifier using SSCNET III is possible.
• Current values and error descriptions from the servo amplifier can be checked with the buffer memories of
the 20SSC-H.
3. Easy application of absolute position detection system
• The servo amplifier with absolute position detection enables the absolute positioning detection system.
• Once the zero position is established, the zero return operation at power startup is not necessary.
• The absolute position system allows establishment of the zero position by the data set type zero return.
In this case, wiring for near-point DOG, etc. is not required.
4. Easy maintenance
Various data such as positioning data, parameters, etc. can be saved to the flash memory (ROM) in the
20SSC-H.
This allows the data to be saved without a battery.

3.Specifications
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to have the following safety circuits outside of the PLC to ensure safe system operation even during external power supply
problems or PLC failure.
Otherwise, malfunctions may cause serious accidents.
1) Most importantly, have the following: an emergency stop circuit, a protection circuit, an interlock circuit for opposite movements
(such as normal vs. reverse rotation), and an interlock circuit (to prevent damage to the equipment at the upper and lower
positioning limits).
2) Note that when the PLC CPU detects an error, such as a watchdog timer error, during self-diagnosis, all outputs are turned off.
Also, when an error that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU occurs in an input/output control block, output control may be
disabled.
External circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe machinery operation in such a case.
3) Note that when an error occurs in a relay, triac or transistor output device, the output could be held either on or off.
For output signals that may lead to serious accidents, external circuits and mechanisms should be designed to ensure safe
machinery operation in such a case.
• At Forward/Reverse rotation limits, make sure to wire the contacts with NC, negative-logic. Wiring contacts with NO, positive-logic
may cause serious accidents.
3 Specifications
3.1 General Specifications
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
• Make sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent any damage to the machinery or accidents due to abnormal data
written to the PLC under the influence of noise:
1) Do not bundle the main circuit line together with or lay it close to the main circuit, high-voltage line or load line. Otherwise, noise
disturbance and/or surge induction are likely to take place. As a guideline, lay the control line at least 100mm (3.94") or more away
from the main circuit or high-voltage lines.
2) Ground the shield wire or shield of the shielded cable at one point on the PLC. However, do not ground them at the same point as
the high-voltage lines.
• Install module so that excessive force will not be applied to the built-in programming port, input connectors, power connectors or
optical connectors. Failure to do so may result in wire damage/breakage or PLC failure.
DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS
• Please contact a certified electronic waste disposal company for the environmentally safe recycling and disposal of your device.
TRANSPORTATION AND
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• The PLC is a precision instrument. During transportation, avoid impacts larger than those specified in the general specifications of the
PLC main unit manual. Failure to do so may cause failures in the PLC. After transportation, verify the operations of the PLC.
3.1General Specifications
For items not listed below, specifications are equivalent to those of the PLC main unit.
