OPERA

TOR

This instruction manual has been written for those who have knowledge of
machines and equipments that use reduced wiring system as well as the
suf

ficient knowledge to assemble, operate, and maintain such devices.
Before performing assembly, operation and/or maintenance, please read
this manual carefully and underst

and the contents.

Content

s

SAFETY

The body of unit and this manual contain the essential information for the protection of
users and others from possible injury and property damage and to ensure correct
handling.
Please check that you fully understand the definitions of the following messages
( symbols ) before going on to read the body of this manual, and always follow the
instructions.
Please also read the instruction manuals etc. of related machines and equipments and
understand the contents before use.

Before performing maintenance:

Turn off power supply.
Stop air supply, exhaust compressed air in piping, and confirm the release to
atmosphere.

Otherwise injury can result.

IMPOR

Read this manual and follow its instructions. Signal words such as WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE will be followed by important safety information that must be
carefully reviewed.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in
death or severe injury if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor injury or moderate injury.

NOTE

Gives you helpful information.

TANT MESSAGES

Do not disassemble,
modify ( including modification of printed circuit board ) or repair.

Otherwise injury or failure can result.

Do not operate beyond specification range.

Otherwise fire, malfunction or damage to the reduced wiring system can result.
Confirm the specifications before operation.

Do not operate in atmosphere of flammable/explosive/corrosive gas.

Otherwise fire, explosion or corrosion can result.
This reduced wiring system is not explosion-proof type.

For use in interlock circuit:

Provide double interlock system by adding different type of protection

( such as mechanical protection ).

Check that the interlock circuit is working normally.

Otherwise accident caused by malfunction can result.

Conduct proper functional inspection after completing maintenance.

In the case of abnormality such as unit does not work normally, stop the operation.
Otherwise safety cannot be assured due to unintended malfunction.

Provide grounding to improve safety and noise resistance of reduced wiring sys
tem.

Provide grounding as close to the unit as possible to shorten distance for grounding.

Avoid mixing of CC-Link dedicated high-performance cable and other cables (
CC-Link dedicated cable and/or Version 1.10 compatible CC-Link dedicated
cable ).

Mixing can hinder normal data transmission and cause trouble.

The reduced wiring system is connected to various kinds of fieldbus and realizes the
reduced wiring and decentralized installation of I/O devices . The signals to/from
fieldbus are exchanged by GW unit, and the signals to/from decentralized I/O devices
are collected and delivered by GW unit.
The maximum number of connections of manifold valve/Input unit manifold is
16/branch x 4 branches = 64 points each for output and input.

As the cables with connectors are used for all wiring between devices, the system
complies with the IP65 environment.

Power supply wiring

Connect the power supply connector cable to the power supply connector of GW unit.
There are two types of cables different in connector shape ---- straight type and angle
type. With this cable, the power is supplied to the output devices such as solenoid
valve, and the input devices such as sensor, and for controlling GW/SI. Therefore, there
is no need to supply the power to other units individually.
When selecting the power supply, refer to "Handling precautions" ( page 3 ) in this manual.

Cable connection

Align the key groove with the power supply
connector ( plug ) of GW unit, plug in the power
supply cable ( socket ).

Tighten the lock nut on cable side by turning it

Mounting/Wiring

The mounting and removing methods of SI unit are as shown below.

For branch wiring method, refer to subsection "Wiring" ( page 9 ) of section "EX500"
in this manual. As the power to output devices such as solenoid valve is supplied by
branch wiring ( branch cable with M12 connector ), there is no need to supply power
individually.

Note: Internal wiring of M12 input block and key position for mounting sensor connector

No. 2 pins of M12 input block connectors are

wired to each other’s sensor signal input pins
( No. 4 pins ) internally.
This wiring enables direct input of signals from
two points combined into one cable through
concentric connector etc.
When connecting sensors, confirm the
specification of output signal carefully.
Otherwise malfunction can result.
The key position for mounting sensor
connector is as shown to the right. Consider
this key position when selecting sensor.

NOTE
Mount a waterproof cap on each unused connector of Input unit. The proper use of
waterproof cap can achieve IP65 Enclosure. The waterproof caps are delivered
together with each input block as accessories. ( Tightening torque: 0.05Nm for M8
and 0.1Nm for M12 )

Purpose Output Block" in this manual.

The EX9 series general purpose output block is the unit to operate solenoid valve,
relay, etc. in combination with VQC series valve and applicable SI unit.
There are two types

---- one type is for low wattage load ( EX9-OET1 or EX9-OET2 )
that outputs signals by receiving power supply from SI unit, and the other type is for
high wattage load ( EX9-OEP1 or EX9-OEP2 ) that outputs signals by receiving power
supply from outside. The type for high wattage load is used in combination with the
power block ( EX9-PE1 ) connected with external power supply. As the low-wattage­load type is powered from SI unit, the wattage of load is limited to 1.0W ( Note1 ). For a
load up to 12W, use the power block and the high-wattage-load type.

Note1: When connected with EX500 series.
