5.4 Wiring of the host computer/PLC side when using the IF-400 as a repeater
When connecting more than 32 units of controllers, use the IF-400 as a repeater.
For wiring between the IF-400 and controllers, refer to Section 5.3.
5.4.1 DCL-33A
Use CNS communication cable, and connect it to terminals 7 through 9.
Cable length of CNS: 500mm
The CNS cable can be extended in units of 500mm fixed length.
(Fig.5.4.1-1)
5.4.2 Controllers such as ACS-13A, JC series, FC series, PC-900 which have terminal block
Use CNM communication cable, and connect it to terminals 7 through 9.
Cable length of CNM: 500mm
The CNM cable can be extended in units of 500mm fixed length.

Notice
The repeater will
be the 31st
connected unit,
and up to 30 units
of the DCL-33A
can be connected.
Plug into the
modular jack
at the bottom
of the IF-400.
(There are 2
modular jacks.
Use either of
them.)
Notice
The repeater will
be the 31st
connected unit,
and up to 30 units
of JCS-33A can
be connected.
