Safety Precautions

Fail-safe Measures

Provide safety measures in external circuits to ensure safety in the system if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the CPU Unit, Industrial PCs, other Units, or slaves or due to other external factors affecting operation.

Not doing so may result in serious accidents due to incorrect operation. Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures must

be provided in external control circuits.

The CPU Unit or Industrial PCs will turn OFF all outputs from Output Units in the following cases. The remote I/O slaves will operate according to the settings in the slaves.

• If a power supply error occurs.

• If the power supply connection becomes faulty.

• If a CPU watchdog timer error or CPU reset occurs.

The outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition 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 safe operation of the system.

If external power supplies for slaves or other de voltage will drop, outputs will turn OFF, and the system may be unable to read inputs. Provide external safety measures in controls with as required so that the system operates safely in such a case.

Precautions for Correct Use

1-1 Features of Communications Inter-

face Units

The NX-series Communications Interface Units (hereafter called CIF Units) provide the following features.

 Features as Sysmac Devices

The CIF Units are classified as Sysmac devices. Sysmac device is a generic name for EtherCAT slaves, EtherNet/IP slaves, and other OMRON control components that were designed with the same communications and user interface specifications. You can use Sysmac devices together with NJNX-series Machine Automation Controllers and the Support Software to achieve optimum functionality and ease of operation.

 Features as NX Units

The CIF Units are classified as NX Units.

NX Units are connected to an NX-series CPU Unit or NX-series Communications use them.

to achieve the optimum Unit configuration for the appli-

 Features as Serial Communications Devices

The CIF Units are also classified as serial communications devices. Both RS-232C and RS-422A/485 are supported as the serial interface. No-protocol communications are supported as the communications protocol.

Other convenient functions include logging send/rece use to display and save line data.

You can use serial communications instructions for C instructions for CIF Units when you create the user program, you do not have to program processing for the serial communications protocol. Refer to 1-4 Serial Communications Instructions for the CIF

Units on pa

Serial communications instructions for CIF Units cannot be used for all system configurations, connected communications masters, and connected Communications Coupler Units.

In order to prevent unintentionally installing the wrong terminal block, you can limit the combination of a Unit and a terminal block.

Insert three Coding Pins (NX-AUX02)

into three of the six incorrect attachment prevention holes on the Unit and on the terminal block. Insert these pins into positions so that they do not interfere with each other when the Unit and terminal block are connected to each other.

You can use these pins to create a combination in which the wrong terminal block cannot be attached becau

4-4-1 Terminal Arrangement

If you use the RS-422A/485 port, check the polarity before you connect the cable. The polarity of the SDA/SDB and RDA/RDB terminals and signals are reversed for some remote devices. If the polarity is not correct, malfunctions may occur.

4-4-3 Examples of Recommended RS-232C and RS-422A/485 Wiring

This section provides examples of the recommended RS-232C and RS-422A/485 wiring.

Examples of Recommended RS-232C Wiring

We recommend the following wiring for RS-232C communications, particularly in environments where noise is

common.

• Use shielded, twisted-pair cable for the communications cable.

• Pair the SD (send data) line with the SG (signal ground)

line as one twisted pair and the RD (receive

data) line with the SG (signal ground) line as a separate twisted pair.

• For the NX-CIF210, connect the shield on the communications cable to the shell (SHLD) on the D-Sub con

nector on the NX-CIF210. Also, ground the ground terminal (GR) on the Power Supply

Unit to 100  or less.

• For the NX-CIF101, connect the shield on the communic

ations cable to A6 (SHLD) on the

NX-CIF101. Also, ground the A8 (FG) on the NX-CIF101 to 100  or less.

Connection examples are given in the following figure.

4-4 Wiring Communications

4-4-3 Examples of Recommended RS-232C and RS-422A/485 Wiring

Examples of Recommended RS-422A/485 Wiring

For RS-422A/485, we recommended that you use the follow quality.

• Use shielded, twisted-pair cable for the communications cable.

• Connect the shield on the communications cable to A8 or the A8 or B8 (FG) on the NX-CIF101 to 100  or less.

NX-series Communications Interface Units User’s Manual (W540)

• Always turn ON the terminating resistance at the turn ON the terminating resistance, connect TERSDA- and TERSDB+ for a two-wire connection and connect TERRDA- and TERRDB+ for a four-wire connection.

Ground the shield only at the CIF Unit. Do not ground it at the other end of the cable. If you ground both ends of the cable, a difference in electrical potential between the two grounds may damage the equipment.

-3 for the items to set and the setting ranges.

6-1-2 Transmission Buffering

The send data from the CPU Unit or communications master to a CIF Unit may sometimes be divided into pieces and sent over multiple cycles. With transmission buffering, CIF Unit first stores the divided send data in a send buffer inside the CIF Unit. When all of the send data has been received, the CIF Unit sends all of it at the same time on the serial line.

When transmission buffering is not used, each piece of the send data sent separately from the CPU Unit or communications master to the CIF Unit is immediately sent to the serial line. Therefore, in this case, the data sent from the CIF Unit to the serial line may also be divided into pieces.

You can enable or disable transmission buffering with a setting on the Support Software.

Detecting the Final Data When Transmission Buffering Is Enabled

When transmission buffering is enabled, the CPU Unit or communications master must tell the CIF Unit when all of the send data is stored in the send buffer. The Output Data Type in the output notification data that is sent from the CPU Unit or communications master to the CIF Unit is used for this purpose. The meanings of bits 12 to 15 in the Output Data Type are given in the following table.

If the value of bits 12 to 15 of the Output is stored in the send buffer. It sends all of the send data together to the serial line.

For details on the Output Data Type, refer to 7-3-3 Input Data Type and Output Data Type on pa
