6. Cascade connection
There are only outputs up to 10 points (6 points in the case of VXFC06A) on a single board.
However, it is possible to increase the output points by cascading (multiple board connection).
VXFC06D and VXFC10D can be cascaded to create a 16-point output, and it is possible to
increase to any output points by combining boards.
Ⅰ
. Connection method
1) In the case of no cascading connection (operation of single unit)
Do not connect anything either to the input or output terminal block.
2) When connecting 2 Boards in cascade
1
.
Set the DIP switch for cascading with one board as base and the other as remote.
2
.
Connect the OUT1 of the base board to IN1 of the remote board and OUT2 of the
base board to IN2 of the remote board.
3.Connect OUT1 of the remote board to IN1 of the base board and OUT2 of the remote
board to IN2 of the base board.
3) In case of cascading 3 or more boards
1
.
Set only one DIP switch for cascading to base, and configure other boards to the remote.
2.Connect the OUT1 of the base board to IN1 of the remote board(1) and OUT2 of the
base board to IN2 of the remote board(1).
3
.
Connect OUT1 of the remote board(1) to IN1 of the base board(2) and OUT2 of the remote
board(1) to IN2 of the base board(2).
In the same way, connect the remote board 3, 4 ...n.
4
.
Connect OUT1 of the remote board(n) to IN1 of the base board and OUT2 of the remote
board(n) to IN2 of the base board.
II. Setting of the DIP switch for cascading
1) DIP switch setting
For a cascading connection, set the board that operates first to the base.
Boards connected after the base are set as remote.
