INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This manual describes necessary points of caution when 
you use this product, including installation, connection and 
basic maintenance procedures.

POINTS OF CAUTION

 

CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES

• The equipment must be mounted inside the instrument 

panel of a metal enclosure.

• The actual installation environments such as panel con-

figurations, connected devices, connected wires, may affect 
the protection level of this unit when it is integrated in 
a panel system.  The user may have to review the CE re-
quirements in regard to the whole system and employ ad-
ditional protective measures to ensure the CE conformity.

 

HOT SWAPPABLE MODULES

• The module can be replaced while the power is ON.  Be 

sure to replace it when the module is not communicat-
ing with a host, as it may affect the system.  Replacing 
multiple modules at once may greatly change line voltage 
levels.  We highly recommend to replace them one by one.

 

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• DO NOT set the switches on the module while the power 

is supplied.  The switches are used only for maintenance 
without the power.

 

ENVIRONMENT

• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the 

air, install the unit inside proper housing with sufficient 
ventilation.

• Do not install the unit where it is subjected to continuous 

vibration.  Do not subject the unit to physical impact.

• Environmental temperature must be within -10 to +55°C 

(14 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH 
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.

 

WIRING

• Do not install cables close to noise sources (relay drive 

cable, high frequency line, etc.).

• Do not bind these cables together with those in which 

noises are present.  Do not install them in the same duct.

 

AND ....

• The unit is designed to function as soon as power is sup-

plied, however, a warm up for 10 minutes is required for 
satisfying complete performance described in the data 
sheet.

INSTALLATION

Use the Installation Base Model R3-BS, or Model R3-BSW 
for free I/O address capability.
Before mounting the Network Interface Module onto the 
base, be sure to configure the module as explained below.

 

CC-Link VERSION & EXPANDED CYCLIC

Set CC-Link’s version and expanded cyclic by using the side 
DIP switch SW3. 
The setting determines the number of slots which the mod-
ule is assigned to.
See “TRANSMISSION DATA DESCRIPTIONS”.

 

STATION NO. & BAUD RATE

See “COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION”.

 

NETWORK SLOTS ON THE BASE

I/O 1

I/O 2

I/O n

With Model R3-BS base, mount the I/O Modules from the 
left end (I/O 1) to the right in order that the Network Mod-
ule assigns data areas from I/O 1.
Network Module(s) and Power Module are mounted basi-
cally at the right end though technically they could be 
mounted in any position.

With Model R3-BSW base, there is no limitation in mount-
ing positions as I/O address can be assigned freely to each 
module using rotary switches equipped on the base.

R3-GC1 occupies up to 16 slots.  Be careful not to use the 
slot numbers occupied by this unit for real I/O modules to be 
mounted on the same base.  Also, when mounting this unit, 
be careful about the slot position and the number of slots 
to be occupied so that any of the slot numbers will not be 
greater than 16.  The Network module cannot read data for 
an I/O module assigned to slot No. 17 or later.
