OUTLINE

 

Communication unit 

SC-GU3-02

 can output the output signal (in case of 2-out-

put type, only the output 1) of a sensor amplifier (NPN output type) that is con

-

nectable to cascading connector unit 

SC-71

 (optional), as the communication 

data of 

DeviceNet

.

 

SC-GU3-02

 enables to connect max. 16 units of sensor amplifier (

FX-300

 se-

ries or 

LS-400

 series, etc.). In case of 

FX-500

 series or 

LS-500

 series, max. 

12 units of sensor amplifier can be connected. 

 

● This product can output all the output signals of the connected sensor amplifi

-

ers to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) etc. in one time.

 

By using end unit 

SC-GU3-EU

, settings and control of the connected optically com-

municationable sensor amplifier (

FX-500

 series or 

LS-500 

series) can be done.

MOUNTING AND CONNECTION

How to mount

1.

 

Fit the rear part of the mounting sec-

tion of the unit on a DIN rail.

2.

 

Press down the rear part of the mount

-

ing section of the unit on the DIN rail 

and fit the front part of the mounting 

section to the DIN rail.

How to remove

1.

 

Push the unit forward.

2.

  Lift up the front part of the unit to re

-

move it.

Note:  Take care that if the front part is lifted without push-

ing the unit forward, the hook on the rear portion of 

the mounting section is likely to break.

How to connect

 

● Be sure that the power supply is OFF while adding / removing units. 

 

When the units are mounted in cascade, mount the end plates 

MS-DIN-E

 (optional) 

at the both ends of the units to hold them between the flat sides of the plates.

 

● Up to maximum 16 sensor amplifiers can be connected in cascade.

 

(In case of 

FX-500 

series or 

LS-500 

series,

 

up to maximum 12 sensor amplifiers can be 

connected in cascade.)

 

● In case two different models of sensor amplifier are mounted in cascade, be 

sure to mount identical models together.

 

● For the cautions of the sensor amplifiers, refer to the instruction manuals en

-

closed with the amplifiers.

1.

  Mount communication unit 

 

SC-GU3-02

 on DIN rail.

  When mounting, remove the end 

connector cap which is attached to 

the connector area. 

2.

  Mount cascading connector unit 

SC-71 

(optional) one by one on the DIN rail. 

And slide them to side of 

SC-GU3-02

.

3.

  Insert sensor amplifiers (optional) to 

SC-71

.

4.

  In case using end unit 

SC-GU3-EU 

(optional)  , mount 

SC-GU3-EU

 on 

DIN rail. And slide it to side of the 

sensor amplifiers.

  Attach the end connector cap which 

is removed in the step 

1

 to the con-

nector area for cascading of the last 

unit.
