Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.
Disconnect all power to the unit and wait at least the amount of time specified on the unit
front cover safety label.
After all indicators are off, measure the DC bus voltage to confirm safe level, and check
for unsafe voltages before servicing. The internal capacitor of the units or corresponding
parts remain charged after the power supply is turned off.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not remove the front cover of the unit while the power is on.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
The diagrams in this section may include units without covers or safety shields to show
details. Be sure to reinstall covers or shields before operating any devices. The option

Remove the front covers of the unit before installing the option. Refer to the unit instruction
manual for directions on removing the front covers. Cover removal varies depending on unit
size. This option can be inserted only into the
CN5-A connector located on the unit control board.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect all power to the unit and wait at
least the amount of time specified on the unit front cover safety label. After all
indicators are off, measure the DC bus voltage to confirm safe level, and check for
unsafe voltages before servicing to prevent electric shock. The internal capacitor
remains charged even after the power supply is turned off.
1. Shut off power to the unit, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to
dissipate, then remove the digital operator (D) and front covers (C, F). Front cover
removal varies by model.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling
the option, unit, and circuit boards. Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to circuitry.

provided screw (H) and tighten both screws to 0.5 to 0.6 Nxm (4.4 to 5.3 in lbs).
Figure 6 Connect the Ground Wire
Note: There are two screw holes on the unit for use as ground terminals (K). When connecting three
options, two ground wires will need to share the same unit ground terminal.
Depending on the unit model, some unit may require routing the wiring through the
side of the front cover to the outside to provide adequate space for the wiring. Refer
to the Peripheral Devices & Options section of the unit instruction manual for more
information on wire routing of specific models.
Route the wiring through the side of the front cover to the outside. In these cases,
using diagonal cutting pliers, cut out the perforated openings on the left side of the
unit front cover as shown in Figure 8-A. Sharp edges along the cut out should be
smoothed down with a file or sand paper to prevent any damage to the wires.
Route the wiring inside the enclosure as shown in Figure 8-B for units that do not
require routing through the front cover.
Note: 1. Separate communication cables from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines.
2. Connect the terminator (model No.: JEPMC-W6022-E) to the option modular connector (CN3) on the
7. Replace and secure the front covers of the unit (C, F) and replace the digital
Figure 10
operator (D).
Figure 10 Replace the Front Covers and Digital Operator
Note: Take proper precautions when wiring the option so that the front covers will easily fit back onto
the unit. Make sure no cables are pinched between the front covers and the unit when replacing
the covers.
8. Set unit parameters in Table 5 for proper option performance.
◆ MECHATROLINK-II Communications Cables
Wire the MECHATROLINK-II communications cables to the communications connector
(CN3). Install MECHATROLINK-II communications cables apart from main-circuit wiring
and other electrical and power lines.
Note: 1. For communications cables, use special shielded twisted-pair cables for MECHATROLINK
2. Connect the terminator (model No.: JEPMC-W6022-E) on the end of the communication lines.
3. Maximum transmission distance is 50 m (1969.0 in.). Minimum wiring distance between stations is
0.5 m (19.7 in.).

■Faults
Both bUS (MECHATROLINK-II Option Communication Error) and EF0 (External Fault
Input from the MECHATROLINK-II Option) can appear as an alarm or as a fault. Unit
parameters can determine these responses between an alarm and a fault. When a fault
occurs, the digital operator ALM LED remains. When an alarm occurs, the digital operator
ALM LED flashes.
If communication stops while the unit is running, answer the following questions to help
remedy the fault:
• Is the MECHATROLINK-II Option properly installed?
• Is the communication line properly connected to the MECHATROLINK-II Option? Is it
loose?
• Is the PLC program working? Has the PLC CPU stopped?
• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?
