fied purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that
can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON
representative before applying a PLC system to the above mentioned applications.
3 Safety Precautions
!WARNING Never attempt to disassemble any Units or touch the terminal block while
power is being supplied. Doing so may result in serious electrical shock or
electrocution.
!WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable
Controller), including the following items, to ensure safety in the system if an
abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC or another external factor
affecting the PLC operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents.
• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
• The PLC will stop operation when its self-diagnosis function detects any
error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed. As a
countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
xvii
Operating Environment Precautions 4
• The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of
the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided
to ensure safety in the system.
• When the 24-V DC output (service power supply to the PLC) is overloaded or short-circuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs
being turned OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems, external
safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
• Slice I/O Terminals will continue operating even if one or more I/O Units is
removed from or falls out of the Slice I/O Terminal, i.e., the other I/O Units
will continue control operations, including outputs. As a countermeasure
for such a possibility, external safety measures must be provided to
ensure safety in the system.
!WARNING The CPU Unit refreshes I/O even when the program is stopped (i.e., even in
PROGRAM mode). Confirm safety thoroughly in advance before changing the
status of any part of memory allocated to Output Units, Special I/O Units, or
CPU Bus Units. Any changes to the data allocated to any Unit may result in
unexpected operation of the loads connected to the Unit. Any of the following
operations may result in changes to memory status.
• Transferring I/O memory data to the CPU Unit from a Programming
Device
• Changing present values in memory from a Programming Device
• Force-setting/-resetting bits from a Programming Device
• Transferring I/O memory files from a Memory Card or EM file memory to
the CPU Unit
• Transferring I/O memory from a host computer or from another PLC on a

6 EC Directives
DeviceNet products conform to EMS and low-voltage level directives as follows:
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related
EMC standards, so that they can more easily be built in to other devices or the
overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to
EMC standards. Whether they 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
xx
EC Directives 6
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.
1,2,3... 1. The DeviceNet Communications Units are designed for installation inside
control panels. All DeviceNet Units must be installed within control panels.
2. Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies
used for the communications power supply, internal circuit power supply,
and the I/O power supplies. The power supplies must also be able to provide stable output for 10 ms when a momentary power interruption occurs
at the input.
3. The DeviceNet Communications Units conform to the EN61131-2 (Immunity Zone A), EN61000-6-2, and EN61000-6-4 standards, but the 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 examples shows how to reduce 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 Communications Unit.
2. Wire the control panel with as thick and short cables as possible and
ground to 100
Ω min.
3. Keep DeviceNet communications cables as short as possible and ground
to 100
Ω min.

Overview of Slice I/O Terminals Section 1-1
1-1 Overview of Slice I/O Terminals
Slice I/O Terminals are building-block style Slaves that can be expanded in
small I/O increments, so a system can be configured to exactly match various
customer applications. Slice I/O Units communicate with the Master by
remote I/O communications through a DeviceNet Communications Unit.
DeviceNet Communications Units are equipped with a network power supply
monitor function and error history for network diagnosis and Slice I/O Units
are equipped with troubleshooting functions such as the I/O power supply
function.
1-2 Features and System Configuration
1-2-1 Features
The DeviceNet Communications Unit for Slice I/O controls I/O between the
DeviceNet Master and Slice I/O Units over the DeviceNet network.
Manage More Than One
Slice I/O Units as One
Slave
A single DeviceNet Communications Unit with up to 64 connected Slice I/O
Units can be managed as a Slave (a single module) from the DeviceNet Master.
Remote I/O
Communications
Remote I/O communications can be used to share I/O data between the Master and more than one Slice I/O Units through the DeviceNet Communications
Unit.
In addition to actual I/O data, various status information can be allocated in
the Master by making custom settings with the Configurator.
Simplified Startup The DeviceNet Communications Unit can be set up easily, just by wiring the
Unit, setting the DeviceNet node address on the Unit’s rotary switches, and
making simple DIP switch settings.

Features and System Configuration Section 1-2
The Unit’s configuration is read automatically when the power is turned ON
and I/O is also automatically allocated in the Slice I/O Units. It is not necessary to make any settings with a special Programming Device.
Simplified I/O Wiring All of the Slice I/O Units that connect to a DeviceNet Communications Unit are
equipped with screw-less clamp terminal blocks. Wiring to external I/O is
accomplished just by inserting the wire into the terminals, eliminating the
need to tighten terminal screws.
Table Registration The configuration of the Slice I/O Units (mounting order and I/O size) con-
nected to a DeviceNet Communications Unit can be registered in a table simply by switching a pin on the DeviceNet Communications Unit’s DIP switch.
Once the table has been registered, the actual configuration is compared to
the registered configuration each time that the power is turned ON. If the configuration does not match, a status flag can be turned ON in the DeviceNet
Master to indicate the error.
Communications Error
History Monitor
The communications error history in the DeviceNet Communications Unit can
record the four most recent communications errors in the DeviceNet network
and the 64 most recent Slice I/O Terminal errors. The communications error
information (communications error cause code and communications power
supply voltage when error occurred) can be read with an explicit message
command or from the Configurator.
Online Replacement of I/O
Units
The Slice I/O Unit’s circuit section can be removed, so it isn’t necessary to
turn OFF the power to replace a Unit. Communications can be maintained in
the remaining (connected) Units.
Parameter Backup and
Restore
Before replacing a Slice I/O Unit for maintenance, the parameter data set in
the I/O Unit can be backed up in the DeviceNet Communications Unit by
switching a pin on the Communications Unit’s DIP switch. After the I/O Unit
has been replaced, another DIP switch operation can be used to select the
mode that automatically writes the backed-up parameter data to the appropriate Units.
Automatic Baud Rate
Recognition
The DeviceNet Communications Unit automatically detects the Master’s communications baud rate, so it isn’t necessary to set the baud rate. (If the Master’s baud rate has been changed, the DeviceNet Communications Unit must
be turned OFF and then ON again to change its baud rate.)
Network Power Supply
Volt a g e M onito r
The DeviceNet network’s power supply voltage values (present, maximum,
and minimum values) are recorded in the DeviceNet Communications Unit.
The Configurator can be used to read the recorded information. Furthermore,
a warning voltage level can be set in the DeviceNet Communications Unit in
order to notify the Master if the voltage drops below that preset warning level.
Unit Power ON Time
Monitor
This function records the total time that the DeviceNet Communications Unit's
internal circuit power has been ON. The Configurator or explicit messages
can be used to read the information. Furthermore, a warning voltage level can
be set in the DeviceNet Communications Unit in order to notify the Master if
the set warning time is exceeded.
Unit Comment A user-set name can be assigned to each DeviceNet Communications Unit
and recorded in the Unit. When making settings or monitoring operation, the
comments make it easy to identify individual Units based on their application
or location.

Specifications Section 1-3
Last Maintenance Date The dates on which maintenance is performed can be written to the
DeviceNet Communications Unit. The recorded date shows when maintenance is required next.
1-2-2 System Configuration
The DeviceNet Communications Unit connects to the Master by a network
cable and it connects to the Slice I/O Units by directly coupling the Units with
slide connectors.
The I/O Unit data in the DeviceNet Communications Unit is shared with the
Master’s Input and Output Areas through the DeviceNet network. The I/O
Units’ data is collected in the DeviceNet Communications Unit and exchanged
with the Master asynchronously.
It is also possible to send explicit message commands addressed to the
DeviceNet Communications Unit.
Note Always install an End Unit on the last I/O Unit in the last node.

Basic Operating Procedure Section 1-5
1-5 Basic Operating Procedure
The following procedure shows the basic steps required before using the Slice
I/O Terminals.
Operating Procedure
1,2,3... 1. Connect the DeviceNet Communications Unit to the Master and connect
the desired Slice I/O Units.
2. Turn ON the power supply to the DeviceNet Communications Unit.
3. Turn ON (from OFF to ON) pin 1 of the DIP switch on the front of the DeviceNet Communications Unit. When pin 1 is turned ON, the existing Slice
I/O Unit configuration (connection order and I/O size) is registered in the
DeviceNet Communications Unit as a registered table. (After the table is
registered, leave pin 1 ON to enable the table.)
4. The next time that the power is turned ON, the connected Slice I/O Unit
configuration at that moment is automatically compared to the registered
table and any Slice I/O Units that do not match the registered table (connection order or I/O size) will not participate in I/O communications. I/O
communications will start with the other Slice I/O Units.
Note (1) When a communications error has occurred, the DeviceNet Communica-
tions Unit’s TS indicator will flash red and the affected Slice I/O Unit’s TS
indicator will flash red. At the same time, the error code and error details
code will be stored in the DeviceNet Communications Unit’s error history.
