INSTRUCTION MANUAL

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

POINTS OF CAUTION

 

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.

 

POWER INPUT RATING & OPERATIONAL RANGE

• Locate the power input rating marked on the product and 

confirm its operational range as indicated below:

  100 – 120V AC rating: 85 – 132V, 47 – 66 Hz, approx. 20VA
  200 – 240V AC rating: 170 – 264V, 47 – 66 Hz, approx. 20VA

    24V DC rating: 24V ±10%, approx. 12W

 

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• DO NOT set the switches 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 (power supply, input and output) 

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.

 

NODE ADDRESS

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 without 
any space between them from the left end (I/O 1) to the 
right in order that the Network Module assigns data areas 
from I/O 1.  If the I/O module 1 is not mounted, or there is 
any empty slot between the modules, communication error 
occurs.
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.
