The following shows a wiring example for the power supply module.
• Additionally, fully tighten terminal block screws that do not have wiring attached. If these are not fully tightened, then during
operation these may loosen or fall out because of vibration.
• Wiring must be twisted tightly starting from the terminal connection. Also, use the thickest wire (minimum 2) to reduce
the voltage drop.
• For the wiring to a terminal block, use a solderless terminal.
• To prevent a short-circuit while loosening screws, use a solderless terminal (1) with an insulation sleeve of 0.8 mm or less.
Note that up to 2 solderless terminals (1) can be connected per terminal block (2).
2
• For the LG and FG terminals, short by using the thickest and shortest ground cable possible (minimum of 2), and
ensure this is grounded. Failure to ground may result in deterioration of the signal from noise. Additionally, the LG terminal
has half of potential of the input voltage, so ensure precautions are taken against electric shock.
• Provide independent grounding when possible. In addition, grounding work is to be to a Class D grounding (third class
grounding). (Insulation resistance of 100Ω or lower )
• For the ERR+ and ERR- terminals, use wires with a thickness at least 0.75 and length of 30 m or less. When using
cables longer than 3 m, either twist the cables or use a cabtyre cable.

Considerations when configuring the CC-Link IE Field Network
This section presents the considerations when configuring the CC-Link IE Field Network.
■Adding and removing slave stations
Add and remove slave stations one by one. If two or more stations are added or removed, all stations reconnect to the
network, so all stations may have errors momentarily. Additionally, if further slave stations are added when 120 slave stations
are connected, the 121st and subsequent stations do not perform baton passes or data links, while the other stations continue
baton passes and data links. When 121 or more stations are connected, even disconnected stations that are reconnected
may not start data links.
• Confirmation as to whether 121 or more slave stations (including sub master stations) is possible in
'Connected device number excess occurrence status' (SB0099). The number of connected stations
detected using 'Connected device number excess occurrence status' (SB0099) is the total of currently
connected slave stations and previously connected slave stations (disconnected stations).
• By updating the CC-Link IE Field Network diagnosis network configuration, it is possible to reset the number
of stations that were connected in the past. (MELIPC MI5000 Series User's Manual (Application))
• Updating the network configuration carries out reconnection processing for all stations on the network,
therefore this results in a momentary data link error for all stations, with output OFF for connected slave
stations. Configure in order to save output as necessary. ( Page 63 Output retention at data link
abnormality)
6
■If cables are removed then reinserted, or power turned OFF/ON
The actual network configuration and the CC-Link IE Field diagnosis network configuration may at times not match.
Confirmation as to whether these match is possible in 'Network configuration mismatch occurrence status' (SB0098).
• By updating the CC-Link IE Field Network diagnosis network configuration, it is possible to match the actual
network configuration with the network configuration diagram. (MELIPC MI5000 Series User's Manual
(Application))
• When the network configuration is updated, all stations reconnect to the network, so all stations may have
errors momentarily and output may be OFF for connected slave stations. Configure as necessary to
maintain output. ( Page 63 Output retention at data link abnormality)
Network configuration (Transmission line type) and operation
Network configurationOperation
Star connection• Turning slave station or switching hub power OFF/ON
• Removal and reinsertion of an Ethernet cable connected to a switching hub
• Changing an Ethernet cable connect destination to another slave station or switching hub
• Disconnecting 10 or more devices, or more than half the slave stations
• When adding slave stations, changing the network topology
Line connection• Turning the power to 2 or more stations OFF or ON
• Removal and reinsertion of Ethernet cables from two or more stations

Link point numbers per slave station are for RX/RY: 64 points, and for RWr/RWw: 32 points.
However, when changing the number of occupied stations, these can be set up to a maximum of 256 points by 64 point units
for RX/RY, and 128 points by 32 point units for RWr/RWw. For the applicability of changing the number of occupied stations,
refer to the manual of the slave station in use.
Changing the slave station link point numbers will change the assigned range and station numbers.

9 CREATION AND REGISTRATION OF USER PROGRAMS
9.3 User Programs for the VxWorks Part
Precautions
The following shows the considerations for creating a user program.
■Endian format (memory allocation)
MELPIC employs little-endian format (memory allocation). Compiling user programs with little-endian format is required.
■VxWorks real-time process (RTP)
MELIPC does not support applications that run in VxWorks real-time process. Create a user program as VxWorks karnelbased application.
■Execution of a user program
To run a user program, start a task from a script file. Running a user program without starting a task may cause system
malfunction.
■Starting a task that calculates floating point values
To start the following tasks, specifying the VX_FP_TASK option to the third argument of taskSpawn is required.
• A task that calculates floating point values
• A task that calls function to return floating point values
• A task that calls function for which a floating point value can be set to an argument
If the tasks above are started without specifying the VX_FP_TASK option, the operating system will out of control.
When specifying the VX_FP_TASK option in a script file, refer to the following section.
Page 82 When specifying the VX_FP_TASK option
For details on the VX_FP_TASK option, refer to the manual for VxWorks.
■Task execution in the MELIPC STOP state
Even if the operating status of a MELIP is in the STOP state, the user program task will not stop. To divide the process of a
user program according to the MELIPC operation, use the C Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_GetCpuStatus).
9
■Priority of execution tasks
Set the priority of a task for running a user program as follows.
• When not to perform the access using an FTP or file sharing function while running a user program, set the priority of the
user program as 100 or more (within 100 to 255). Otherwise, the system may not operate properly.
• The access using an FTP or file sharing function while running a user program is available when the processing (task) of
the FTP or the file sharing function of a MELIPC operates with the priority 150. Therefore, set the priority of the user
program within 151 to 255. When setting the priority within 100 to 150, set a waiting time (taskDelay) in the user program so
that the FTP or file sharing function is enabled.
■To send/receive data to/from a target device in Ethernet communications
Before communicating with a target device though Ethernet, check the port number that is being used in the MELIPC using
*1
the VxWorks standard command, 'netstat'
between the MELIPC and the target device. Doing so may result in abnormal communications.
*1 'netstat' command must be run in the Telnet tool.
. Do not use the port number which has already been used for communications
■When a response is not returned from a function
If an error occurs in a MELIPC, a response may not be returned from a function. Create a user program considering the
aspect of this symptom.
An error occurrence status can be checked by using the C Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_GetErrInfo).

9.3 User Programs for the VxWorks Part

■Memory fragmentation
Reserving and releasing memory repeatedly causes memory fragmentation, and it may result incorrect system operation.
■Restrictions on MELSEC data link functions
A path for MELSEC data link function cannot be shared among multiple tasks. A path for opening/closing a task must be
managed for each task.
■Considerations when changing a system clock rate
• A system clock rate must be changed, not with the VxWorks standard API function (sysClkRateSet), but with the C
Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_SysClkRateSet). Otherwise, the operation on VxWorks will be unstable.
■IP address setting
Set an IP address for the VxWorks part of a MELIPC from MI Configurator. If an IP address is set using a user program, the
network will not work properly.
■Considerations on interrupt service routine
A routine to execute in an interrupt service routine must be created after fully understand the specifications of VxWorks, which
is the operating system on the VxWorks part of a MELIPC. Setting incorrect value to an argument or executing a function
other than that for interrupt service routine may cause VxWorks runaway.
In a dedicated function library provided by MELIPC, C Controller dedicated functions for ISR can be used. To execute another
dedicated function synchronizing with an interrupt, implement a notification processing to a user program and execute it in a
task.
■Considerations on serial communications
To run a program for serial communications, set the communication target for serial communications to the VxWorks part
using the serial I/F switching function.
Additionally, do not perform serial communications from multiple tasks; otherwise, the program may not run properly.
