3.3.5 Conversion speed

Conversion speed indicates time from channel changing to A/D conversion completion.
Conversion speed per channel of the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN is 1ms.
Due to the data link processing time of the CC-Link system, there is a transmission
delay until the A/D conversion value is read actually.
For the data link processing time, refer to the user's manual of the master module
used.

Example1) Ver. 1 remote device station (ver. 1 compatible slave station) setting

3 SPECIFICATION

3.4.1 Sampling processing

The A/D conversion is performed successively for the analog input, and the converted
digital output values are stored in the remote register.
The processing time to store the digital output value into the remote register after the
sampling processing differs depending on the number of A/D conversion enabled
channels.

(Processing time) Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When three channels, channels 1, 2, and 3 are enabled for conversion:

3×1 = 3 (ms)

3.4.2 Average processing

The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN performs A/D conversion to the channel(s) for the
average processing specified by the PC CPU for the set number of times or for the set
time. The average is then obtained from the total value excluding the maximum and
minimum values, and stored in the remote register. When the number of processing is
two times or less, the sampling processing is performed.
When the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting is performed, the average processing
is initialized.

(1) When the average processing specification is made for time

• Set the time in 1 ms modules.

• The number of times for processing for the set time depends on the number of
A/D conversion enabled channels.

Set time

(Number of times for processing) =

(Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) × 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When the number of A/D conversion enabled channels is two, and the

set time is 1000 ms:
1000/(2 × 1)=500 times

(2) When the average processing specification is made for the number

of times

The processing time to store the average value (average of number of times) into
the remote register depends on the number of A/D conversion enabled channels.

(Processing time) = (Set number of times) × (Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) × 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When two channels, channels 1 and 3 are A/D conversion enabled,

and the set number of times is 500:
500 × 2 × 1=1000 (ms)

3.5 Remote I/O Signals

This section describes the assignment and functions of the remote I/O signals.

3.5.1 Remote I/O signal list

Remote inputs (RX) mean the input signals from the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN to
the master module, and remote outputs (RY) mean the output signals from the master
module to the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN.
In communications with the master station, the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN uses 32
points of the remote inputs (RX) and 32 points of the remote outputs (RY).
The number of stations occupied by this module differs between ver. 1 remote device
station (ver. 1 compatible slave station) setting and ver. 2 remote device station (ver. 2
compatible slave station) setting.
3 stations are occupied in the case of ver. 1 remote device station (ver. 1 compatible
slave station) setting. The latter 64 points are not used.
1 station is occupied in the case of ver. 2 remote device station (ver. 2 compatible
slave station) setting. Expanded cyclic setting is fixed to quadruple and the latter 32
points are not used.
