6-2Concepts
EMC Directives
The OMRON products described in this manual are designed so that they
individually comply with the related EMC Directives so that they can be more
easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have
been checked for conformity to EMC Directives (see note). Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however,
cannot be checked by OMRON and must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
NoteApplicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility):EN 61131-2 and EN 61000-6-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference):EN 61131-2 and EN 61000-6-4
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75
to 1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards.
Applicable standard: EN 61131-2
6-3Conformance to EC Directives
The OMRON products described in this manual comply with the related EMC
Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the products are
used complies with EC Directives, the products must be installed as follows:
1,2,3...1. The products must be installed within a control panel.
2. A DC power supply with reinforced insulation or double insulation that can
maintain a stable output even if the input is interrupted for 10 ms must be
used for communications power, internal power, and I/O power. The
OMRON S82J-series Power Supply is recommended. (See note.)
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)

Conformance to EC Directives6
3. Products complying with EC Directives also conform to the Emission Standards (EN 61131-2 and EN 61000-6-4). Radiated emission characteristics
(10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control
panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other
conditions. You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.
4. Conformance with the EC Directives was confirmed with a system configuration using I/O wiring lengths of less than 30 m.
Note Conformance with the EMC Directive was confirmed when using
the recommended power supply.

Features and Slave Units
This section introduces the CompoNet Slave Units and the various models that are available.
CompoNet Slave Units do not simply input and output ON/OFF signals, they
can also collect a variety of information that can improve equipment operating
rates.
They can also be used to build maintenance systems separate from control
systems. Coexisting control and maintenance systems can contribute to
reducing equipment startup time, recovery time after problems, and preventative maintenance of equipment.
■ Control System:
For remote I/O communications with the PLC, I/O is allocated for each node
address by default. In addition, Slave Unit status information other than I/O is
allocated in an input area in the Master Unit. The allocation can be set using
the CX-Integrator or explicit messages.
■ Maintenance System:
Slave Units can store several kinds of equipment data. This data can be read
from or written to the Slave Unit’s memory using the CX-Integrator or by sending explicit messages from the Master Unit (PLC) to the Slave Unit.
1-1-2Features of CompoNet Slave Units
CompoNet Slave Units have the following features.
Main Features
The functions that can be used depend on the type of Slave Unit. For details,
refer to 1-1-3 CompoNet Slave Unit Functions.
Operation Time MonitorThe Slave Unit can quickly measure the ON/OFF timing of input and output
contacts without relying on the ladder program. Contact types (IN - OUT, OUT
- IN, IN - IN, OUT - OUT) and trigger patterns (ON → OFF, OFF → ON, ON →
ON, OFF → OFF) can be freely combined for measurement. A time can be
set in the Slave Unit memory to enable notification of the status when the
measured time exceeds the set time.
This data can be set or read by using the CX-Integrator.
Contact Operation
Monitor
Total ON Time MonitorThe total ON time of sensors, relays, and other devices are stored in the Slave
The number of times each input contact or output contact is turned ON can be
counted at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz maximum and stored. A value can
also be set in the Slave Unit to enable notification of the status if the number
of contact operations reaches the set value.
This data can be set or read by using the CX-Integrator.
Note The contact operation monitor and the total ON time monitor can-
not both be used for the same contact at the same time.
Unit memory. A value can also be set in the Slave Unit to enable notification of
the status if the total time reaches the set value.
These values can be set or read by using the CX-Integrator.
Note The total ON time monitor and the contact operation monitor can-
not be used at the same time for the same contact.
Automatic Baud Rate
Detection

The baud rate is automatically set to the same baud rate as the Master Unit;
therefore, there is no need to set the baud rate of the Slave Units.

This data can be read or written by using the CX-Integrator.
Any name can be set for each I/O contact (e.g., sensor or valve) connected to
a Slave Unit. The names are stored in Slave Unit memory.
This data can be read or written by using the CX-Integrator.
The network power supply voltage (present, maximum, and minimum values)
can be stored in the Slave Unit memory. A monitor voltage can also be set in
the Slave Unit to enable notification of the status if the voltage drops to the
preset value.
These values can be set or read by using the CX-Integrator.
and provides notification in a status area.
This data can be checked by using the CX-Integrator.
Enables storing the error condition (communication failure details, the communications power supply voltage at the time of failure, and the Unit conduction time) for the most recent 4 communication failures, within the slave unit.
This data can be read by using the CX-Integrator.
Input FiltersThe Slave Units read input values multiple times during the set period to elim-
inate the effect of switch chattering and data omissions caused by noise. An
ON delay or OFF delay can also be implemented by using this function.
These settings are made by using the CX-Integrator.

Load Short-circuit
Detection
The output value when a communications error occurs can be set for each
word of an Output Unit.
These settings are made by using the CX-Integrator.
This function holds inputs from when the power is turned ON until the Unit stabilizes, i.e., inputs are not received while the I/O power is OFF and for 100 ms
after the I/O power is turned ON. This contributes to eliminating input errors
caused by inrush current when the I/O power is turned ON.
These settings are made by using the CX-Integrator.
The I/O power current is monitored. If an excessive current is detected, it is
assumed that a power short-circuit has occurred and the sensor power output
is turned OFF forcibly.
The status can be checked by using the LED indicators on the Slave Unit or
by using the CX-Integrator.
The output load current is monitored. If an excessive current is detected, it is
assumed that an load short-circuit has occurred and the output is turned OFF
forcibly to prevent damage to the Unit's output circuit.
The status can be checked by using the LED indicators on the Slave Unit or
by using the CX-Integrator.
Removable Terminal Block The terminal block can be removed.

Slaves)
IP54 Dust-tight, Splashproof Units (Bit Slaves)
With Temperature Input Units, the temperature difference between two inputs
for inputs 0 to 3 can be detected and compared with a monitoring set value.
Explicit messages can be used to see if the temperature difference has
exceeded the monitoring set value.
The input temperature variation detection settings are made by using the CXIntegrator.
With Temperature Input Units, if there is an unused input, detection of input
errors (including disconnection) can be disabled.
Input error detection is disabled by using the CX-Integrator.
Node addresses can now be set much more easily using rotary switches.
(except some models)
Slave Units are available with 2 inputs, 2 outputs, 4 inputs, 4 outputs, 1 input/1
output, or 2 inputs/2 outputs. These enable bit-level distribution of Slave Units.
At the same time, unused Slave Unit I/O can be suppressed.
The CRT1B-@D@@SP(-1) Units conform to the IEC IP54 dust-tight, splashproof degree of protection (see note).
Note For protection against human bodies and solid foreign objects,
IP54 requires that dust will not penetrate inside the device to a degree that would affecting operation. For protection against water ingress, water splashing from any direction must have no adverse
effect.

Models of Bit Slave Units are available with a Flat Cable included (standard or
sheathed). Models with a Flat Cable included, however, do not support a baud
rate of 4 Mbps. (Branching is not possible.)
External I/O (sensors or actuators) connected to Bit Slaves using e-CON connectors, clamp terminals, or compact connectors are supplied power from the
CompoNet communications power supply. No separate wiring is required for
I/O power supply.
No special tools are required for connections because industry standard eCON connectors are used. Electrical cables do not need to be stripped and
are simply inserted with pliers. When using e-CON connectors, there is no
need to prepare special tools for wiring, and connectors from different makers
can be used interchangeably.
MIL connectors, widely used in the electronic components and semiconductor
industries, help reduce wiring requirements.
There is no need to tighten the screws because these Units use screw-less
clamp terminal blocks. Connections are made simply by inserting the pin terminals. Wiring can be completed in one step.

Communications CablesCompoNet Networks use round cable I, round cable II, Flat Cable I (DCA4-
4F10 Standard Flat Cable), and Flat Cable II (DCA5-4F10 Sheathed Flat
Cable) for Communications Cables.
Master UnitThe Master Unit manages the CompoNet Network and transfers I/O data
between the PLC and the Slave Units.
There is only one Master Unit per network. The Master Unit must be con-
nected to the trunk line.
32
Page 57
CompoNet NetworksSection 2-1
Slave UnitsSome Slave Units receive output data from the Master Unit across the Com-
poNet Network and output it. Other Slave Units send data that has been input
across the network to the Master Unit. There are two types of Slave Unit
according to the I/O capacity of the Slave Unit.
• Word Slave Units: A Word Slave Unit is allocated 16 bits (i.e., 16 I/O
points) in the I/O memory of the CPU Unit.
• Bit Slave Units: A Bit Slave Unit is allocated 2 bits (i.e., 2 I/O points) in the
I/O memory of the CPU Unit.
Repeater UnitUsing Repeater Units enables expanding network connections as follows:
• Extending the Communications Cable
• Increasing the number of nodes (Units)
• Creating long-distance T-branches from the trunk line and sub-trunk lines
(See note.)
• Converting between different types of cable (round cable I, round cable II,
Flat Cable I, and Flat Cable II)
A sub-trunk line downstream from a Repeater Unit can be connected with the
same communications specifications (i.e., distances and number of Slave
Units) as the trunk line.
Up to 64 Repeater Units can be connected per network (i.e., per Master Unit).
When Repeater Units are connected in series from the Master Unit, up to two
layers can be created.
Note The physical layer is not connected across a Repeater Unit. The
connection is thus different from a branch connection, which
branches the same physical layer.
Terminating ResistorsWith a CompoNet Network, the Master Unit is located at one end of the trunk
line and a Terminating Resistor is connected to the other end of the trunk line.
If Repeater Units are used, each Repeater Unit is treated like a Master Unit,
i.e., Terminating Resistor is connected to the most remote end of the subtrunk line downstream from the Repeater Unit.
Note A Terminating Resistor reduces signal bouncing to stabilize com-
munications and must always be connected to the most remote end
of the network lines below the Master Unit and each Repeater Unit.
Always connect a Terminating Resistor to ensure the quality of the
transmission path.
Trunk Lines and Branch
Lines
The trunk lines and branch lines in a CompoNet Network are defined as follows:
• Trunk line: The transmission path between the Master Unit and the Terminating Resistor.
• Sub-trunk line: The transmission path between the Repeater Unit and the
Terminating Resistor (when a Repeater Unit is used)
• Branch line: The transmission path created using a T-branch from the
trunk line or sub-trunk line.
• Sub-branch line: The transmission path created using a T-branch from a
branch line. (T-branching is not possible from sub-branch lines.)
Note Due to differences in functionality, the same type of cable must be
used between the trunk line and a branch line, a sub-trunk line and
a branch line, and a branch line and a sub-branch line. Different
types of cable can be used between the trunk line and a sub-trunk
line.
BranchesThere are two ways to create branch lines.

• T-branch connections using Flat Connectors (when Flat Cable I or Flat
Cable II is used)

than one line (i.e., to the trunk line and sub-trunk line or to two sub-trunk
lines).

ments by the Repeater Units. Each segment is connected to the network, but
is isolated electrically. Three layers of these isolated segments can be configured, called segments 1, 2, and 3, counted in order from the Master Unit.
Repeater Units can be used to add a maximum of two extra segment layers.
Therefore, up to two extra segment layers can be created from the Master
Unit using Repeater Units. Accordingly, you can expand the length of one
trunk line and one branch line to up to 1,500 m (500 m × 3, 93.75 kbps).
Including Repeater Units connected using multidrop connections, a maximum
of 64 Repeater Units can be connected in a single network (i.e., to a single
Master Unit).

Using Different Cable
Types
The same type of cable must be used for all lines downstream from the Master Unit (i.e., the trunk line and branch lines, sub-trunk lines and their branch
lines, and branch lines and sub-branch lines must use the same type of
cable).
When Repeater Units are used, however, different cables can be used for the
trunk line and sub-trunk lines, and for sub-trunk lines and sub-trunk lines,
above and below a Repeater Unit.

Restrictions in Distance between Cables of Multiple CompoNet Systems
When using more than one CompoNet System with Flat Cable I or II, operation may be unstable due to interference. To prevent this, the Flat Cables for
the different CompoNet Systems must be separated from each other by at
least 5 mm.

2-4Communications Cable Wiring Examples
The following wiring is required in a CompoNet Network.
• Two communications signal lines (communications data): BDH (communications data high) and BDL (communications data low)
• Two communications power supply lines (power for communications and
internal Slave Unit circuits): BS+ (communications power supply plus
side) and BS− (communications power supply minus side)
The wiring method depends on the type of cable that is used.
2-4-1Round Cable I
• Connect the two communications signal lines in parallel between the Master Unit or Repeater Unit and multiple Slave Units.
• Use Open Type Connectors (DCN4-TB4, for connecting Units) to connect
Communications Cables to Master Units, Repeater Units, and Slave
Units.
• To supply the communications power (24 VDC), connect the two communications power supply lines to each Slave Unit separately from the Communications Cables.
• Power is not supplied to the Master Unit or Repeater Units.
• A Terminating Resistor (DRS1-T) must be connected at the end of the
network.

3-2Connecting Cables
In a CompoNet Network, Units can be connected and cables can be branched
and extended by using Communications Cable and mounting connectors to
Units. The methods for connecting Communications Cables and Units and for
branching depend on the cable type and branching formation used.
The differences are shown in the following table.

3-3Preparing Flat Connectors
To connect a Terminating Resistor to round cable II, to connect Flat Cable I or
II to Units and to branch or extend the wiring, Flat Connectors must be prepared and attached to the cables.
Note(1) Flat Connectors cannot be reused once they have been attached. Per-
form the procedure with care.
(2) Always hold on to the Flat Connector when connecting or disconnecting
it.
(3) When connecting a Flat Connector, press it all the way in and then pull on
it to be sure it is locked into place.
