SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

(Read these precautions before using this product.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle

the product correctly.

The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable

controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.

In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious

consequences.

Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

● In the case of a communication failure in the network, data in the master/local module are held. Check Data link status (each station) (SW00B0 to SW00B7) and configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will operate safely.

● When the module is disconnected due to a communication failure in the network or the CPU module is in the STOP status, all outputs are held or turned off according to the parameter setting. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely even in such a case. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

● Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of the module. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.

● Do not use any "use prohibited" signals as a remote input or output signal. These signals are reserved for system use. Do not write any data to the "use prohibited" area in the remote register or the remote buffer memory. If these operations are performed, correct operation of the module cannot be guaranteed.

[Design Precautions]

CAUTION

● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.

● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on. Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.

[Installation Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

● Use the module in an environment that meets the general specifications in this manual. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.

● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

● Securely connect the cable connectors. Poor contact may cause malfunction

● After the first use of the product, do not connect/disconnect the connector more than 50 times (IEC

61131-2/JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

Page 5

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

● Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.

● Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause a fire or failure.

● Tighten the terminal block screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.

● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.

● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.

● When an overcurrent caused by a failure of an external device or a programmable controller flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure external safety circuits, such as fuses, for the module power supply and external power supply.

● Mitsubishi programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Wiring and replacement of a module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to "INSTALLATION AND WIRING" in this manual for the module.

● Do not connect an output device of an SIO device to the channel set to IO-Link mode. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

WARNING

● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or

retightening the terminal block screws and connector screws. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION

● Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.

● Do not drop or apply strong shock to the module. Doing so may damage the module.

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the

module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

● After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2/ JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

● After the first use of the product, do not connect/disconnect the connector more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2/JIS B 3502 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

● Before handling the module or the cable to be connected to the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

● Startup and maintenance of a control panel must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. Lock the control panel so that only qualified maintenance personnel can operate it.

This section describes the installation and wiring of the IO-Link module.

5.1 Before Using the I/O Link Module

Precautions when using SIO (sink input) mode

■Measures against back EMF

When connecting an inductive load, connect a diode in parallel with the load. Use the diode that satisfies the following

conditions:

• A reverse breakdown voltage is ten times as high as the circuit voltage or more.

• A forward current is twice as high as the load current or more.

SIO (sink input)

Precautions when using SIO (source output) mode

■Maximum switching frequency when L load is driven

The maximum switching frequency imposes a limit on the use; an ON state or an OFF state must not be changed without an

interval of at least one second.

■Load to be connected

When connecting a counter or timer utilizing a DC/DC converter as a load of the IO-Link module, select an IO-Link module

whose maximum load current is higher than the inrush current of a load to be connected. If the selection is based on the

average current of a load to be connected, an inrush current flows cyclically from the load while the IO-Link module is in an

ON state or in operation, which can cause failure of the module. If it is necessary to select a module on the basis of the

average current of a load to be connected, to alleviate the effect of the inrush current, take any of the following corrective

actions:

• Connecting a resistor in series with the load

• Connecting an inductor in series with the load

■About element protection of the IO-Link module

If excessive noise affects the terminals of the IO-Link module, the output may be turned on to help the protection of the output

element. Adjust the voltage between terminals of the IO-Link module to fall within the operating load voltage range by taking

measures such as the following:

• To use an inductive load such as a relay, a surge suppressor is required on the load side as well. Take appropriate

measures, referring to the measures against back EMF as a guide.

• To prevent excessive noise, avoid installing power cables together with I/O cables.

5.2 Setting Switch

Ex.

Setting station number setting switches

Setting procedure

Set the station number using the rotary switches on the front of the IO-Link module. The set value of the station number

becomes valid when the module is powered on. Thus, set the station number while the module power is off.

• The hundreds and tens places of the station number are set with 10.

• The ones place of the station number is set with 1.

To set the station number setting switches, use a flathead screwdriver with a tip width of 3.5mm or less.

To set the station number to 115, set the switches as shown below.

Setting range

Set the station number from 1 to 120. Setting the value other than 1 to 120 causes a communication error and the D LINK

LED flashes.

Do not set a station number duplicated with other station numbers. If the station number is duplicated, a

communication error occurs and the D LINK LED does not turn on.

5 INSTALLATION AND WIRING

5.2 Setting Switch

Page 32

Function setting switch setting

Enable or disable the fast link-up function using the function setting switches on the front of the IO-Link module. The setting

made by the function setting switches becomes valid when the module is powered on. Thus, set these switches while the

module power is off.

For details on the fast link-up function, refer to the following. Page 91 Fast link-up function

• Off: Disable

PORT2 fast link-up function Enables or disables the fast link-up function of PORT2.

• On: Enable

• Off: Disable

• To set the function setting switches, use a flathead screwdriver with a tip width of 0.9mm or less.

• Do not change the function setting switch while the module is powered on. Changing the function setting

switch while the module is powered on causes a minor error and flashes the ERR. LED. Returning the

function setting switch to the previous setting eliminates the error and turns off the ERR. LED.

This function segments input process data using the bit count set for each channel.

The bit segment function can be used to segment continuous input process data into data units.

This function eliminates the necessity to perform tasks such as using a program to extract specified bits.

Description

This function segments input process data into bits.

Number of Slicings is the number of times input process data is to be segmented. If not using the bit segment function, select

Set the bit length and bit offset of the input process data to be segmented in Bit length and Bit offset. Input process data is

segmented from the specified bit offset position for the specified number of bits.

The bit segment function assigns the input process data from the IO-Link device to CH Input process data

(RWr4 to RWr83) in the order set in "Bit Slicing Setting" (starting from No.1).

0 is stored for CH Input process data (RWr4 to RWr83) that do not support the value set in "Bit Slicing

Setting".

For bit segmenting of alarm, parameter, and measured value of the input process data from the IO-Link device connected to

CH1

Set the bit offset with the most significant bit (b7) of byte0 as offset 0.

Operation)

■Setting

Enable the fast link-up function for the ports to be connected each other. If a port where the fast link-up function is enabled is

connected with a port where the fast link-up function is not supported or disabled, link-up will not performed.

■Installation and configuration

• Incorporate a master module and an IO-Link module in the robot-side system. Disable the fast link-up function for the port

of the IO-Link module that is connected to the master module.

• Disable the fast link-up function for PORT1 of the IO-Link module in the robot-side system, and connect it with the master

module. Enable the fast link-up function for PORT2 of the IO-Link module in the robot-side system, and connect it with

PORT1 of the IO-Link module in the tool-side system. For any other connection, it may take longer time to establish data

link.

• Connect PORT1 and PORT2 of the modules where data link is established using the fast link-up function with cables. Even

if the fast link-up function is enabled, link-up will not be performed when PORT1 is connected to PORT1 or PORT2 is

connected to PORT2.

■Operation

• Keep the ON state of the master module and IO-Link module in the robot-side system during operation. In the robot-side

system, the master module is connected with the IO-Link module via a port where the fast link-up function is disabled, and

thus the time taken to establish data link after power-on will not be shortened.

• To establish data link in a short time, simultaneously power on all of the IO-Link modules in the tool-side system after

switching a tool to a different one. If the IO-Link modules are started up at the different timing, it may take longer time to

establish data link.

• Connect to a tool (cable connection and power-on) in one second or longer after the master station detects a disconnection

of a tool previously used. If a tool is connected before the detection of a disconnection or within one second after the

detection, it may take longer time to establish data link. A disconnection can be detected by monitoring Data link status

(each station) (SW00B0 to SW00B7) of the master station.

■Precautions

• After the master station is powered on, it may take longer time to establish data link with each IO-Link module at the first

connection.

• Depending on the operating environment, it may take longer time to establish data link.

• If the link scan time of when no tool is connected is long, it may take longer time to establish data link.

• On the network configuration settings, set line topology for the network topology.

• This function shortens the time for data linking between the IO-Link module and master station. However, the module

operation start time of the IO-Link module itself will not be shortened. ( Page 16 Performance Specifications)

7.6 Protection Function

The overload protection function and overheat protection function protect the internal circuit from overcurrent and its heat.

The overload protection function and the overheat protection function do not protect external devices but

protect the internal circuit of the module.

A problem on a load may raise the internal temperature of the module, causing deterioration in output

elements and discoloration on the case and the printed-circuit board. Turn off the corresponding output as

soon as a problem on a load is found, and remove the cause.

Overload protection function

Current is cut off when the IO-Link module detects overcurrent. At that time, the following error codes are generated.

• Overcurrent detected in C/Q cable (error code: 180AH)

• Overcurrent detected in L+ cable (error code: 180CH)

Overcurrent detection values and limited currents are as follows.

• C/Q output: 200mA or more per point

• L+ output: 1.6A or more per point

If the load current becomes equal to the overcurrent detection value or lower, the module returns to normal operation.

Overheat protection function

If high heat is detected in the module, C/Q output turns off and a temperature rise error (160 or more) (error code: 180EH)

occurs.

The overheat protection function operates at each point. If the heat descends, the module automatically returns to normal

operation.

7.7 External Power Supply Monitoring Function

This function monitors the ON/OFF status of the external power supplies of IO-Link modules.

When an external power supply turns off, an external power supply OFF error (error code: 3006H) occurs.

An external power supply OFF error (error code: 3006H) occurs also when the power-on of the external power supply is not

detected within five seconds after the IO-Link module is powered on.
