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 af-
fect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated
in a panel system. The user may have to review the CE
requirements in regard to the whole system and employ
additional protective measures to ensure the CE conform-
ity.
■
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 apply physical impact to the unit.
• 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 R3-GE1
onto the base, be sure to configure the module as explained
below.
■
MODULE ALLOCATION
Use the side DIP SW1 to set the number of slots which the
module is assigned to.
See “TRANSMISSION DATA DESCRIPTIONS.”
■
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-GE1 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.
