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)

The A/D conversion completion flag turns on at completion of the A/D conversion of the

corresponding channel when the initial data setting request flag (RY(n+1)9) turns from

off to on after power-on.

The A/D conversion completion flag processing is processed only once when the A/D

conversion enable/prohibit specification is changed.

When changing the A/D conversion from prohibit to enable:

When the average processing is specified, the flag turns on after completing the

average processing of the number of times or time, and storing the A/D conversion

digital value in the remote register.

When changing the A/D conversion from enable to prohibit:

(a) Average processing initialization

The data in the work area stored by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN
system to perform the average processing is initialized.
For example, at a channel with the average processing specification at 50
times, if the conversion enable/prohibit is set after having completed
sampling for 30 times, the 30 sampling data is all cleared, and then the
average processing is performed from the initial state.

(b) A/D conversion completion flag processing

The A/D conversion completion flag processing is performed only once
when the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting is changed.

• When changed the A/D conversion from prohibit to enabled:
When the average processing is specified, the flag turns on after
performing the average processing for the number of time or time and
storing the A/D conversion digital value in the remote register.

• When changed the A/D conversion from enabled to prohibited:
The A/D conversion completion flag for the corresponding channel is
turned off.

4.4 Concept of Mode Select Switch Setting (Selection of Remote Device Station Compatible
Version)

The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN must be handled after setting of the remote device
station version according to the configuration of the used CC-Link system.

There are the following remote device stations.

• Ver. 1 remote device station (Ver. 1 compatible slave station)

• Ver. 2 remote device station (Ver. 2 compatible slave station)

Set the remote device station version with the "mode select switch" of the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN. Refer to Section 4.3 for details of the mode select switch.
In addition, "mode setting" and "station information (station type)" in the network
parameters of GX Developer must be set simultaneously. For details, refer to (2) in this
section and Chapter 5 Programming.

(1) Basic concept

Use the following as a guideline in setting the remote device station version and
mode select switch.

Mode Select Switch Setting Guideline for Selection

Ver. 1 remote device station

(Ver. 1 compatible slave station)

Number of occupied stations: 3 stations

In the case of the system where the maximum
number of connected stations of the master station,
including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that
occupies 3 stations, does not exceed 64 stations.

Ver. 2 remote device station

(Ver. 2 compatible slave station)

Number of occupied stations: 1 station

In the case of the system where the maximum
number of connected stations of the master station,
including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that
occupies 3 stations, exceeds 64 stations. (However,
configure a system where the maximum number of
connected stations of the master station, including
the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that occupies 1
station, will not exceed 64 stations.)

POINT

In the case of the system where the maximum number of connected stations of the
master station, including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that occupies 3 stations,
does not exceed 64 stations, set and use the ver. 1 remote device station (ver. 1
compatible slave station). It is not particularly necessary to set and use the ver. 2
remote device station (ver. 2 compatible slave station).

4.9 Wiring

This section provides the instructions for wiring the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN and its
wiring with external equipment.

4.9.1 Wiring precautions

To obtain maximum performance from the functions of AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN
and improve the system reliability, an external wiring with high durability against noise
is required.
The precautions when performing external wiring are as follows:
(1) Use separate cables for the AC and AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN external input

signals, in order not to be affected by the AC side surge or conductivity.

(2) Do not bundle or place with load carrying wires other than the main circuit line,

high voltage line or PLC. Noises, surges, or conductivity may affect the system.

(3) Place a one-point grounding on the PLC side for the shielded line or shielded

cable. However, depending on the external noise conditions, it may be better have
a grounding externally.

3 Always perform grounding for FG1. When there is a lot of noise, it may be better ground AG

as well.
If the grounding wiring (grounding yes/no) is changed after the offset and gain are set,
perform the setting of the offset/gain values again.

POINT

• A/D conversion values are fluctuated by self-heating within approx. 30 minutes

after power is turned ON.

• Do not insert the one-touch connector plug for I/O of the one-touch connector

type/connector type compact remote I/O unit into the one-touch connector for
analog I/O accidentally.
Doing so can cause the module to be damaged.

• In an unused channel, if terminals remain open, an erratic digital value may be

output.
To prevent this, take any of the following measures.

1. Select Prohibit in the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting for the unused
channel.
Note that changing the setting from Enable to Prohibit will reduce the
sampling cycle.

2. Short-circuit the input terminals (terminal V+ and V-) of the unused channel.

3. Connect the AG terminal to the GND terminal of the external device.

(2) Differences between AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI and AJ65VBTCU-

68ADVN/ADIN

The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN can be handled according to the system. (Refer
to Section 4.4 for details.)

For the AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI, the number of stations occupied by the
module was 3 stations.
For the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN, the number of stations occupied by
the module can be handled as 1 station by setting the mode select switch
of the module to the ver. 2 remote device station.

Further, for the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN, the number of stations
occupied by the module can also be handled as 3 stations, like the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI, by setting the mode select switch of the module
to the ver. 1 remote device station.

In the system where the maximum number of connected stations of the
master station exceeds 64 stations when the number of stations occupied
by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN is handled as 3 stations, use of the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN in the above setting can increase the number
of connected remote device stations.

(3) Compatibility between AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI and AJ65VBTCU-

68ADVN/ADIN

There is compatibility when the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN is used as the ver. 1
remote device station in the existing system. (Refer to Section 4.4 for details.)

When the AJ65VBTCU-68ADV is replaced by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN or
the AJ65VBTCU-68ADI is replaced by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADIN in the
existing system, the replacement can be made without the programs being
modified since the remote I/O signals, remote registers, etc. are the same.

Set the mode select switch of the module to the ver. 1 remote device
station and use the same station number.

POINT

To handle the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN according to the system, the mode
select switch of the module must be set, and at the same time, "mode setting" and
"station information (station type)" in the network parameters of GX Developer must
also be set.
Set the network parameters of GX Developer according to the system.
