Before Using This System
Hook-up cable connectors
To hook-up an exclusive cable connector, use the exclusive tool, and correctly hook-up the connector by follow-
ing the procedure specied in this manual.
If a connector is not correctly hooked-up, the In addition, observe the following items:
● After checking the cable type and the purpose, select the right type of connector.
● Before hook-up a connector, be sure to check the colors of cables to be connected.
● Use the exclusive hook-up pliers (
For the hook-up procedure of each connector, refer to pages 37 to 45.
● If a connector is once hooked-up, do not reuse the connector.
The performance of such a connector may be deteriorated.

) to hook-up the connectors.
Wiring
Observe the following items to distribute cables:
● Keep cables away from the power line and the high-voltage line.
● Do not completely fold down any cables.
● Do not pull any cables with a strong force.
● Do not apply any weight to any cable.
● Do not touch a cable to any other system cables.
This is because signals of di󰀨erent systems may interfere with each other.
● Do not bend cables many times.
● Wind insulation tape on the end of each cable, if necessary.
Others
● Apply the specied torque to tighten terminal screws of each unit.
● Check the connectors for looseness.
● Do not disassemble or modify this product.

Power Supply Capacity of System

Necessity of Local Power Supply Unit

The 24V DC power supply unit that drives the system uses either the centralized power supply method (use of only one power supply unit) or the decentralized power supply method (use of additional local power supply unit) to supply power to each unit.
At rst, calculate the total current consumption value (sum total of current consumption values of all units ‘+’ sum
total of load current values of I/O devices). After that, from the obtained calculation result, cable length, and conductor resistance, calculate the voltage drop value, and determine the voltage to be supplied to each unit.
If the voltage supplied to each unit is above the rated voltage (22.8V or more for the controller, 21.6V or more for the I/O unit), you can design the system using the centralized power supply method. If the voltage supplied to a unit is out of the rated voltage range, connect a local power supply unit, and use the local power supply method.
Designing of system using local power supply method
Chapter 1
CAUTION
To use a local power supply unit, turn on the local power supply unit rst, and then turn on the main
power supply unit, or turn on these power supply units at the same time.
If the main power supply unit is turned on rst, the system may not operate properly.
In the following cases, connect a local power supply unit:
● The communication distance is too long, and voltage drop is too large.
For this reason, it is not possible to supply the rated voltage to the I/O units.
● A 2-core cable is used for connection of the I/O unit (for the D-G line only).
● The main power supply unit and the local power supply unit should be the small capacity type.
● An I/O device that generates a large noise should be used.

● If a connector is once hooked-up, do not use the connector again.
This is because the performance of a used connector may be deteriorated.
● Before starting hook-up work, be sure to turn o󰀨 the power.
● When you disconnect or reconnect a connector, be sure to grab the connector main body.
If you pull the cable to disconnect or reconnect a connector, the cable may be disconnected.

● If you do not use the exclusive 4-core flat cable, be sure to use the 4-core VCTF cable (non-
shielded) having 0.3 to 2.0mm2 conductor cross section. In addition, if you connect cables of dif­ferent types to each other, be sure to select cables having the same cross section. If you connect cables having di󰀨erent cross sections to each other, abnormal communication signals may be out­put, and abnormal operation of the system may be caused.

● Select a power supply unit having short-circuit protective function (fuse, etc.).
● The power of the
the main cable or I/O device side. However, the short-circuit protective function is not adopted. For this reason, adopt a short-circuit protective function, such as a fuse, for the power supply circuit.
● Before starting the wiring work, be sure to turn o󰀨 the power. If the power is not turned o󰀨, the sys-

● Take care that wrong wiring will damage the product.
● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.)
terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
● Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is switched on. Note that if the
READY output signal of the module, or handy monitor is in the BUSY mode (in the power-on or system setting), transmission will not be possible.
● In this section, the main power supply unit means the power supply unit that activates the com-

Wiring Check

Check before Starting
Before turning on the power of the
S-LINK V
system, be sure to check the following items:
● Check the wiring conditions of the controller and the control board.
● Check the PLC I/O connectors.
● Check the cable for short-circuit.
● Check the connected condition of the end unit.

Check of wiring conditions of controller and control board

For a detailed description of the following controllers, refer to their respective user’s manuals.
NOTE
Visually check the terminals and connection cables (connection-to units) of the controller and the control board.

Wiring Check

Check of PLC I/O connectors
Check each PLC I/O connector for the following items:
● Check that the PLC I/O connector is applicable for the I/O module manufactured by the PLC manufacturer.
● Check that a PLC input connector is connected to the PLC input module, and a PLC output connector to the
PLC output module.
● Check that the PLC I/O connector numbers are correctly set.
Check that a connector link cable is used for connection of the PLC input and output connectors to each other.
● Check that a connector cap is attached to the unused PLC I/O connector terminal at the end.
● Check that a control cable is used for connection of PLC I/O connectors to the controller.
● Check that the number of PLC I/O connectors connected to each control cable is 8 connectors or less.
Check of cable for short-circuit
CAUTION
● Use an analogue tester to measure the resistance.
If you use a digital tester, the tester may not indicate correct values. This is because the polarity of the tester inner circuit is not appropriate.
● Before measurement, disconnect the cable from the terminal block of the controller or the control
board. If the cable is connected, correct measurement values cannot be obtained.
● Before disconnecting the cable, put a mark or lead wire color on the cable. If the cable is discon-
nected without any mark, you may reconnect the cable to a wrong terminal after measurement.
Disconnect the transmission cable from the terminal block of the controller or the control board. Using an analogue tester, measure the resistance value at the following points:
● Between D and G (Resistance value: Several kΩ or more)
● Between +24V and 0V (Resistance value: Several kΩ or more)
● Between +24V and D (Resistance value: Several kΩ or more)

Be sure to set the PLC I/O connector numbers. Each PLC I/O connector number will be determined from the sum total of the values set by the connector num­ber setting switches. The connector number setting range is 0 to 15. The relation between the PLC I/O connector numbers and the I/O unit addresses are shown in the following table.
NOTE
One control cable can control up to 8 PLC I/O connectors. To control 9 or more PLC I/O con­nectors, use 2 control cables so that the number of connectors for each cable can be 8 or less.

Indicates the current display mode of the address display.
• ON: The hexadecimal number display mode is selected.
• OFF: The decimal number display mode is selected.
This indicator will blink during transmission (when the transmission signal is being output). The indicator blinking cycle depends on the transmission mode.
This indicator indicates the error status as follows:
• Lights up when an error occurs.
• Blinks when the cause of the error is eliminated.
Lights o󰀨 when operation is normal.
The displayed item depends on the mode (‘RUN,’ ‘CHECK,’ or ‘CONFIG’ mode). Use the mode selector switch to switch the mode.
<RUN mode>
• Each transmission mode (3 modes in total) will be indicated by the following character, and the LED of each character will sequentially light up just like rotating clockwise.
• If an error occurs, the error message will appear.
Note: After eliminating the cause of the error, press ENTER key and SELECT keys (2 types of keys) at
the same time. The error message will disappear.
