 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

(Be sure to read these instructions before using the product.)

Before using this product, read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and handle the product correctly with full attention to safety. Note that these precautions apply only to this product. Refer to the user's manual of the CPU module for safety precautions on programmable controller systems. In this manual, the safety instructions are ranked as "

WARNING " and " CAUTION".

WARNING

CAUTION

Note that failure to observe the !CAUTION level instructions may also lead to serious results depending on the circumstances. Be sure to observe the instructions of both levels to ensure personal safety. Please keep this manual in accessible place and be sure to forward it to the end user.

[Design Instructions]

!

WARNING

 Make sure to see this manual for information about each station's operating status when a

communication error occurs in the network. Erroneous outputs and malfunctions may result in serious accidents.

 If a coaxial cable is disconnected, this may destabilize the line, and a data link communication

error may occur in multiple stations. Make sure to create an interlock circuit in the sequence program so that the system will operate safely even if the above error occurs. Failure to do so may result in a serous accident due to faulty output or malfunctions.

 Provide a safety circuit outside the programmable controller so that the entire system will

operate on the safety side even when an error occurs with the personal computer. There is a risk of an accident due to faulty output or malfunctioning. (1) Construct circuits outside the programmable controller, including an emergency stop circuit,

protection circuit, interlock circuit for reciprocal operations such as forward and reverse, and interlock circuit for positioning high and low limits to prevent damage to the equipment.

(2) If the station in which the board is installed is disconnected from the data link due to a data

link error, the data output from that station and written in other stations will remain the same as immediately before the error occurred in the data link. This data will be retained until the data link for that station is reopened (returned to system). Provide a mechanism to monitor the status of data link and handle errors for each station that is connected to the data link system.

[Design Instructions]

!

CAUTION

 Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or

install them close to each other. They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause malfunctioning.

[Installation Instructions]

!

CAUTION

 Use the board in an environment as described in the general specifications listed in this

operating manual. If the board is used in an environment outside the ranges described in the general specifications, it may result in an electric shock, fire, malfunctioning, damage to or deterioration of the product.

 Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before installing

or removing the board. If all power is not turned off, this will result in failure of the board or malfunctioning.

 Install the board to a personal computer which is compliant with PCI standard or PCI Express

standard (Refer to "Section 2.5 Operating Environment"). Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunction.

 Securely mount the board to the PCI slot of the mounting device.

If the board is not mounted correctly, this may lead to malfunctioning, failure or cause the board to fall.

 Insert the communication cable securely into the board connector. After it has been inserted,

check to make sure that it is not being lifted up. A faulty connection can lead to faulty input or output.

 When mounting the board, take care not to become injured by the components that are installed

or surrounding materials.

 Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body,

etc., before touching the board. Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the board.

R

[Wiring Instructions]

!

WARNING

 Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before

performing work such as installing the board and wiring. If all power is not turned off, there is a risk of electric shock or damage to the product.

 When turning on the power and operating the module after having installed the board and doing

the wiring, always attach the cover for the device module in which the board is installed. There is a risk of electric shock if the module cover is not attached.

!

CAUTION

 Properly solder the parts of a soldering-type coaxial cable connector. Incomplete soldering may

result in malfunction.

 Crimp the parts of a crimping-type coaxial cable connector with proper force at a proper position.

Failure to do so may cause drop of the cable or malfunction.

 For the communication cable, specialized skills and tools are required to connect the plug and

cable. The connector plug itself is a custom part. When purchasing, consult your local Mitsubishi representative. If the connection is incomplete, this can result in a short, fire or malfunction.

 Be sure to fix communication cables connecting to the board by placing them in the duct or

clamping them. Cables not placed in the duct or without clamping may be hang freely and accidentally pulled, which may cause damage to the board or cable, or malfunction due to bad cable contacts.

 When removing the cable from the board, do not pull the cable.

Pulling the cable that is still connected to the board may cause damage to the board or cable, or malfunction due to bad cable contacts.

 Prevent foreign matter such as chips or wiring debris from getting on the board.

Failure to do so can result in fire, breakdowns or malfunction.

 Verify the rated voltage and pin assignment of the product and connect the external power

supply cable properly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating, imperfect cable crimping or faulty wiring may cause a fire or failure.

 Use a specified tool for crimping of the cable and contacting pin. Imperfect crimping may cause

malfunction.

 Verify the pin assignment and fully insert the crimped contacting pin into the connector.

Imperfect insertion may cause failure or malfunction.

 Insert the wired external power supply cable into the external power supply cable connector until

a click is heard. Imperfect insertion may cause failure or malfunction.

 Keep the external power supply cable away from the main circuit cable, power cables and/or

load cables connected to other than programmable controllers. Ensure a distance of 100mm (3.94 in.) between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise, surge or induction.

 Always ground the personal computer. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.

Personal Computer

MELSECNET/H Board

(Q80BD-J71LP21-25)

This is a manual you read when using the MELSCNET/H board in the MELSECNET/H mode or MELSECNET/H Extended mode. When using the MELSCNET/H board in the MELSCNET/H network, refer to "Q Corresponding MELSECNET/H Network System Reference Manual (PLC to PLC network)". Also, when using the board in the MELSECNET/10 network system, refer to "For QnA/Q4AR Corresponding MELSECNET/10 network system reference manual".

The MELSECNET/H is a network system which is used to connect multiple sequencer modules and personal computers, and is equipped with functions and performance realized in the MELSECNET/10 for general control of a production line. In the MELSECNET/H, there is a network system which includes an optical loop system (communication rates: 10 Mbps, 25 Mbps) and a coaxial bus system (communications rate: 10 Mbps), enabling large volume communications at high speeds. Also, in order to improve the performance of the MELSECNET/10 network and achieve upward compatibility, MELSECNET/H supports the MELSECNET/ H and MELSECNET/H Extended modes (high performance, high speed mode) and the MELSECNET/10 Mode (function compatible and performance compatible mode).

(2) By adopting the PCI/PCI ExpressRstandard, complicated switch

settings are no longer required.

The system can be used simply by installing the MELSECNET/H board in the personal computer, then installing the software. The channel No., station No. and other settings can be carried out easily in the MNETH Utility.

(3) Compatibility with the previous MELSECNET/10 board’s operations

is maintained. (a) Upward compatibility of user programs

Since MELSECNET/H board has the same number of the maximum mountable board and channel number as the previous MELSECNET/10 board, the exiting user programs can be utilized.

(b) Compatible with the GX Developer, MX Links and MX

Component.

It is possible to access the programmable controller CPU using the GX Developer, MX Links and MX Component from a personal computer where the MELSECNET/H board is installed.

1 OVERVIEW

MELSEC

(4) Compatible with multiple CPU systems.

By using station designations of logical station No. on the MNETH utility, MELSECNET/H board is capable of communicating with a multiple CPU system.

(5) Compatible with redundant CPU systems.

Only by specifying whether the destination is a control or standby station using the user program, access is simply made without considering the current operating system state of the redundant CPU system.

(6) Compatible with MELSECNET/H Extended mode

The MELSECNET/H Extended mode is the extended MELECNET/H mode, which is extended in the maximum number of link points per station. With this mode, the maximum number of link points per station can be set to 2000 bytes or more, i.e., up to 35840 bytes. This mode is suitable for the system that needs many number of link points per station.

(7) Drivers are provided for compatibility with each OS.

Each type of driver is provided, so it is easy to build a system that is compatible with the user environment. For details on the compatible operating system, refer to Section 2.5.

(8) User programming functions are provided.

Through MicrosoftRVisual BasicRand MicrosoftRVisual C++Rcompatible functions, it is possible to carry out remote control of a programmable controller CPU or read and write to devices, and user programs can be created easily.

(9) External power supply allows continuous network communication

even during power-off of personal computer. (Function of the Q80BD-J71LP21S-25)

Since power is supplied externally, the Q80BD-J71LP21S-25 can continue network communication (baton passing) even if a personal computer is powered off and data link cannot be performed. Therefore, a normally operating station connected between other stations with power-off computers will not be disconnected from the data link. Another advantage is that the link scan time is stabilized since loopback can be also prevented.

5 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE

Compliance with the EMC Directive, which is one of the EU directives, has been mandatory for the products sold within EU member states since 1996 as well as compliance with the Low Voltage Directive since 1997. To prove the compliance, manufactures must issue an EC Declaration of Conformity and the products must bear a CE marking.

(1) Sales representative in EU member states

The authorized representative in EU member states will be: Company name: Mitsubishi Electric Europe BV Address: Mitsubishi-Electric-Platz 1, 40882 Ratingen, Germany

5.1 Measures to comply with the EMC Directive

The EMC Directive sets two requirements for compliance: emission (conducted and radiated electromagnetic energy emitted by a product) and immunity (the ability of a product to not be influenced by externally generated electromagnetic energy). This section summarizes the precautions for machinery constructed with the MELSECNET/H board to comply with the EMC Directive. These precautions are based on the requirements of the EMC Directive and the harmonized standards. However, they do not guarantee that the entire machinery constructed according to the descriptions complies with the EMC Directive. The manufacture of the machinery must determine the testing method for compliance and declare conformity to the EMC Directive.

5.1.2 Installation in a control panel

The installation in the control board ensures safety as well as effective shielding of personal computer-emitted electromagnetic noise.

(1) Control panel

(a) Use a conductive control panel.

(b) Mask off the area used for grounding when securing the top or bottom plate

to the control panel using bolts.

(c) To ensure electrical contact between the inner plate and the control panel,

mask off the bolt installation areas of an inner plate so that conductivity can be ensured in the largest possible area.

(d) Ground the control panel with a thick ground cable so that low impedance

can be ensured even at high frequencies.

(e) Keep the diameter of the holes on the control panel to 10cm or less. If the

diameter is larger than 10cm, electromagnetic wave may be emitted. In addition, because electromagnetic wave leaks through a clearance between the control panel and its door, reduce the clearance as much as possible. Use of EMI gaskets (sealing the clearance) can suppress undesired radiated emissions.

The tests by Mitsubishi were conducted using a control panel having the damping characteristics of 37dB (maximum) and 30dB (average) (measured at 3m distance, 30 to 300MHz).

(2) Wiring power and ground cables

The power supply cable and ground cable for a personal computer should be laid out as follows:

(a) Provide a ground point to the control panel near the power supply module.

Ground the LG and FG terminals of the power supply module to the ground point with the thickest and shortest ground cable possible (30cm or shorter).

(b) Twist the ground cable leading to the ground point with the power supply

cable. By twisting it with the ground cable, the noise leaking from the power supply cable may be grounded at a higher rate. However, twisting the power supply cable with the ground cable may not be necessary if a noise filter is installed on the power supply cable.

5 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE

5.1.3 Cables

Use a shielded cable for the cable extended out of the control panel. If a shielded cable is not used or not grounded correctly, the noise immunity will not meet the required value.

(1) Grounding a shield cable

(a) Ground the shield of the shield cable as near the exit as possible from the

control panel. If the ground point is not near the outlet, the cables after the ground point will cause electromagnetic induction, and will generate a higher harmonic noise.

(b) Ground the exposed shield to large area on the control panel. A clamp fitting

can be used as shown below. In this case, mask off the inner wall surface of the control panel, where comes in contact with the fitting.

POINT

Grounding with a vinyl-coated wire soldered onto the shield of the shielded cable as shown below is not recommended.

Doing so will raise the high-frequency impedance, resulting in loss of the shielding effect.

(2) Treatment of the coaxial cable ground

(a) Always use a double-shielded coaxial cable (MITSUBISHI CABLE : 5C-2V-

CCY) for the coaxial cables Q80BD-J71BR11. Ground the double-shielded coaxial cable by connecting its outer shield to the ground. Refer to (1) for the grounding of the shield.

For details on the AD75CK, refer to the following.

• AD75CK-type Cable Clamping Instruction Manual

5.1.4 Ferrite core

Ferrite core is effective for reducing radiated noise in the 30MHz to 100MHz frequency band. It is recommended to install a ferrite core if a shield cable extended out of the control panel does not provide sufficient shielding effects. Install a ferrite core to the cable in the position immediately before the cable is extended out of the control panel. If the installation position is not appropriate, the ferrite core will not produce any effect. (Ferrite core used for the tests conducted by Mitsubishi: TDK ZCAT3035-1330)

5.1.5 Noise filter (power supply line filter)

Noise filter is effective for reducing conducted noise in the 10MHz or less frequency. (Use of a noise filter can suppress noise.) The installation precautions are described below.

(1) Do not bundle the

cables on the input side and output side of the noise filter.

If bundled, the output side noise will be induced into the filtered cable on the input side.

POINT

As MNETH utility products (SW0DNC-MNETH-B) (version 19V or later) store channel numbers assigned to each MELSECNET/H board, these channel numbers will automatically be set when a PCI slot is changed. Channel numbers will automatically be assigned as follows: <When using a MELSECNET/H board that has not assigned channel numbers>

• Channel numbers will be assigned in a PCI slot number order. <When using a MELSECNET/H board that has assigned channel numbers>

• Previously used channel numbers will be assigned.

• If previously used channel numbers are used already, unused channel numbers

will be assigned. As the utility software stores channel numbers corresponding to a MELSECNET/H board, if the utility software is reinstalled, the board will be the status that any channel numbers are not assigned.

The channel No. is automatically assign to MELSECNET/H boards installed in a personal computer in the order of the PCI slot No., from 51 to 54. Check your personal computer's manual concerning the order of the PCI slot numbers.

7.3 Common Parameters

The common parameters are used to set the cyclic transmission ranges of LB, LW, LX and LY that can be sent by each station in a single network. The common parameter settings are required only for the control station. The data of the common parameters are sent to the normal stations when the network starts up.

7.3.1 Send range for each station (LB/LW settings)

Assign the send ranges of the link devices (LB/LW) for each station in 16 point units for LB (start

0 to end

F) and in one point unit for LW. The following example shows send range for each station (LB/LW settings) when each of 512 points is assigned to station numbers 1 to 8.

7.3.2 Send range for each station (LX/LY settings)

Set send ranges for each station of LX/LY, which represent the amount of data that can be sent by each station in a single network in one (two) block units. The link devices (LX/LY) between the I/O master station (M station) and other station (L station) are assigned 1:1. The following example shows send ranges for each station (LX/LY settings) when each of 512 points of link devices (LX/LY) is assigned to station numbers 2 to 4, using station number 1 (host) as the I/O master station of block 1.
