Precautions for Safe Use
(1) Do not use the product in the following locations.
• Locations subject to direct radiant heat from heating equipment
• Locations where the product may come into contact with water or oil
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Locations where dust or corrosive gases (in particular, sulfuric or ammonia gas)
are present
• Locations subject to extreme temperature changes
• Locations where icing or condensation may occur
• Locations subject to excessive shocks or vibration
(2) Do not use the product in locations subject to temperatures or humidity levels
outside the specified ranges or in locations prone to condensation. If the product
is installed in a panel, ensure that the temperature around the product (not the
temperature around the panel) does not go outside the specified range.
(3) Provide sufficient space around the product for heat dissipation.
(4) Use and store the product within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
If several products are mounted side-by-side or arranged in a vertical line, the
heat dissipation will cause the internal temperature of the products to rise,
shortening the service life. If necessary, cool the products using a fan or other
cooling method.
(5) The service life of the output relays depends on the switching capacity and
switching conditions. Consider the actual application conditions and use the
product within the rated load and electrical service life. Using the product beyond
its service life may result in contact welding or burning.
(6) Install the product horizontally.
(7) Mount to a panel between 1 and 8-mm thick.
(8) Use the specified size of crimp terminals (M3, width: 5.8 mm max.) for wiring. To
connect bare wires, use AWG22 (cross section: 0.326 mm
section: 2.081 mm2) to wire the power supply terminals and AWG28 (cross
section: 0.081 mm
(Length of exposed wire: 6 to 8 mm)
(9) In order to prevent inductive noise, wire the lines connected to the product
separately from power lines carrying high voltages or currents. Do not wire in
parallel with or in the same cable as power lines. Other measures for reducing
noise include running lines along separate ducts and using shield lines.
(10) Ensure that the rated voltage is achieved no longer than 2 s after turning the
power ON.
(11) Allow the product to operate without load for at least 15 minutes after the power is
turned ON.
(12) Do not install the product near devices generating strong high-frequency waves
or surges. When using a noise filter, check the voltage and current and install it
as close to the product as possible.

) to AWG16 (cross section: 1.309 mm2) for other terminals.
2
) to AWG14 (cross
(13) Do not use thinner to clean the product. Use commercially available alcohol.
(14) Be sure to confirm the name and polarity for each terminal before wiring the
xi
terminal block and connectors.
(15) Use the product within the noted supply voltage and rated load.
(16) Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
(17) Output turns OFF when the mode is changed or settings are initialized. Take this
into consideration when setting up the control system.
(18) Install an external switch or circuit breaker that complies with applicable
IEC60947-1 and IEC60947-3 requirements and label them clearly so that the
operator can quickly turn OFF the power.
(19) Use the specified cables for the communications lines and stay within the
specified DeviceNet communications distances. Refer to the User’s Manual (Cat.
No. N129) for information on communications distances and cables.
(20) Do not pull the DeviceNet communications cables with excessive force or bend
them past their natural bending radius.

EC Directives
•EMC Directives
Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related
EMC standards 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 standards. Whether the products conform to the standards in the system
used by the customer, however, 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.
Conformance to EC Directives
The K3HB Digital Indicators comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the
machine or device in which the Unit is used complies with EC Directives, the
Unit must be installed as follows:
1,2,3... 1. You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power
supplies used for the communications power supply, internal power supply,
and I/O power supplies.
2. Units complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission
Standard (EN61326). 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.
The following example shows one means of reducing noise.
1,2,3... 1. Noise from the communications cable can be reduced by installing a ferrite
core on the communications cable within 10 cm of the DeviceNet Master
Unit.
Ferrite Core (Data Line Filter): 0443-164151 (manufactured by Fair-Rite
Products Co., Ltd.)
Impedance specifications
25 MHz 105 Ω
100 MHz 190 Ω
2. Wire the control panel with as thick and short electric lines as possible and
ground to 100
Ω min.
3. Keep DeviceNet communications cables as short as possible and ground
to 100
Ω min.
xiii
Complying with Safety Standards
For the DeviceNet power supply, always use a power supply with reinforced or
double insulation, that complies with EN/IEC standards.
Conformance to the standards is for indoor applications only.

nications. Featuring a unified frame format and commands that are compliant
with FINS, which has a record of successful use with OMRON programmable
controllers, CompoWay/F makes communications easy between multiple
components and a computer.
FINS (Factory Interface Network Service)
This is a protocol for message communications between controllers on an
OMRON factory automation network.
Supplement The communications function is used by creating a program on the host com-
puter. As such, the explanations in this chapter are from the perspective of the
host computer.
For example, “Read/Write” refers to the host computer reading or writing to
the K3HB.

After a receiving a response from the Digital Indicator, have the host computer
wait at least 50 ms before sending the next command.
When writing multiple sets of setting data in a row, such as when writing to the
variable area or performing a compound write, controllability may be affected.

1-2 Frames (CompoWay/F Communications)
Based on CompoWay/F protocol, commands from the host computer and
responses from the K3HB take the form of frames.
The data comprising command frames and response frames are explained
below.
In the following explanation, an “H” following a numeric value (for example
02H) indicates that the value is a hexadecimal number. A number or letters
enclosed in quotation marks (for example “00”) is an ASCII character.

Addresses (CompoWay/F
Communications)
Each variable type has an address. Addresses are 2 bytes long and written in
hexadecimal. Addresses are assigned according to units of access size.
Address (2 bytes)
000000##0A6A5A4A3A2A1A
0
For more information on addresses, refer to List of Settings on page 2-1.
Number of Elements The number of elements is expressed as a 2-byte hexadecimal number. The
specification range for the number of elements varies depending on the command. See 1-9 Commands and Responses (CompoWay/F Communications)
(page 1-13) for more information.
For example, if the number of elements is 0010, the first 16 elements of data
(H'10) from the address are specified.
Set Values Values read and written to the variable area are expressed in hexadecimal
and disregard the decimal point position (negative values are expressed as a
two's complement).
Example: D'105.0
→ H'0000041A
The variable is an 8-digit number in hexadecimal. Negative values are expressed as a two's complement. The decimal is disregarded.

Reading the Variable Area Section 1-5
For example, if the PV of the K3HB is 105.0, it will be read as H'0000041A
(105.0
→ 1050 → H'0000041A).
