SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Always read these instructions before using this equipment.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety instructions of the programmable controller system, please read the user's manual for the CPU module used. In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: "WARNING" and "CAUTION".

Note that the CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to the circumstances. Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal safety.

Please save this manual to make it accessible when required and always forward it to the end user.

[Design Precautions] WARNING

When controlling a running programmable controller (data modification) by connecting a peripheral to a CPU module or connecting a personal computer to an intelligent/special function module, create an interlock circuit on the sequence program so that the whole system will operate safely all the time. Also, before performing other controls (e.g. program modification, operating status change (status control)), read this manual carefully and ensure the safety. Especially, in the control from an external device to a programmable controller in a remote location, some programmable-controller-side problems cannot be resolved immediately due to a data communication failure. To prevent this, establish corrective procedures for communication failure between the external device and the programmable controller CPU, as well as creating an interlock circuit on the sequence program.

In the case of a data link error, the operation status of a faulty station is as shown below. Using the communication status information, create an interlock circuit on the sequence program for the system to operate safely. Incorrect output or malfunction can lead to an accident. (1) All of general-purpose inputs from this module turn OFF. (2) All of general-purpose outputs from this module turn OFF.

Depending on the module failure, inputs and outputs may turn ON or OFF incorrectly. For I/O signals that may cause a serious accident, provide an external monitoring circuit.

WARNING

CAUTION

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

A - 1

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or

install them close to each other. They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.

Always use the data link terminal block for connection of a CC-Link dedicated cable to a master module. Care must be taken because, if the cable is incorrectly inserted into the general-purpose I/O terminal block instead of the data link terminal block, the module will break down.

CAUTION Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications given in

this manual. Using this programmable controller in an environment outside the range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.

Using a tool specified by the manufacturer, correctly press, crimp, or solder the wires of the connector and securely connect the connector to the module. Incomplete connection may cause a short circuit and/or malfunctions.

Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic components. Touching the conductive parts could cause an operation failure or give damage to the module.

Securely fix the module with the DIN rail or installation screws. Installation screws must be tightened within the specified torque range. A loose screw may cause a drop of the module, short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening may damage the screw, resulting in a drop of the module or a short circuit.

Completely connect each cable connector to each receptacle. Incomplete connection may cause a malfunction due to poor contact.

A - 2

[Wiring Precautions] CAUTION

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before installation or wiring. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock, damage to the product and/or malfunctions.

Attach the terminal cover to the product before energizing and operating the system after installation or wiring. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.

Be sure to ground the FG terminals and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

A - 3

[Wiring Precautions] CAUTION

Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose, resulting in failure.

When wiring in the programmable controller, be sure that it is done correctly by checking the product's rated voltage and the terminal layout. Connecting a power supply that is different from the rating or incorrectly wiring the product could result in fire or damage.

Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. If the terminal screws are loose, it could result in short circuits, fire, or erroneous operation. Overtightening a terminal screw may damage the screw, resulting in a short circuit or malfunction.

Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris inside the module. Such debris could cause fires, damage, or erroneous operation.

Place the connection wires and cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module and/ or cables or malfunctions due to poor cable connection.

Do not install the control cable(s) together with the communication cable(s). Doing so may cause malfunctions due to noise.

When disconnecting a communication or power cable from the module, do not pull it by holding the cable part. For a cable with connector, hold the connector and disconnect it from the module. For a cable without connector, loosen the connector screw and disconnect the cable. Pulling the cable that is still connected to the module may damage the module and/or cable and cause malfunctions due to poor cable connection.

Make sure that the interface type is correct before connecting the cable. Do not connect a cable to a module that has different interface specification. Doing so will cause a module failure.

Using a tool specified by the manufacturer, correctly press, crimp, or solder the wires of the connector and securely connect the connector to the module. Failure to do so may result in a malfunction or failure of the module.

A - 4

[StartupMaintenance Precautions] CAUTION

Before performing online operations (especially, program modification, forced output or operating status change) through connection between a running CPU module and a peripheral, read this manual carefully and ensure the safety. An improper operation will cause mechanical damage or accidents.

Do not touch terminals while the power is ON. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before cleaning or retightening the terminal screw or module fixing screw. Failure to do so may result in a failure or malfunction of the module. A loose screw may cause a drop of the module, short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening may damage the screw and/or module, resulting in a drop of the module, a short circuit or malfunctions.

Do not touch any connector under the cover on the front of the module. Doing so may result in a failure or malfunction of the module.

Do not disassemble or remodel the module. Doing so may cause a failure, malfunctions, personal injuries and/or a fire.

Do not drop or apply a strong shock to the module since the case is made of resin. Doing so will damage the module.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply before mounting or removing the module to/from the panel. Failure to do so may result in a failure or malfunction of the module.

Do not install/remove the terminal block more than 50 times after the first use of the product. (IEC 61131-2 compliant)

Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

Do not change the switch settings while the power is ON. Doing so may cause a failure or malfunctions.

1.1 Features

This section explains the features of the AJ65BT-R2N.

(1) Engineering tool connection allows access to another station. The AJ65BT-R2N can access a programmable controller CPU by connecting a personal computer running the engineering tool.

Section 4.2 MELSOFT Connection Function

(2) Nonprocedural data communication is available using an RS-232 cable. Any data can be sent and received in a nonprocedural way by connecting an RS-232 cable between the AJ65BT-R2N and an external device. Variable or fixed length data can be transmitted, to meet the specifications of external devices. For details of Nonprocedural protocol mode, refer to the following manual.

CC-Link System RS-232 Interface Module User's Manual (Nonprocedural Protocol Mode)

(3) Communication method between master module and AJ65BT-R2N is selectable. The following two kinds of communications are available between a master module and the AJ65BT-R2N.

Send/receive buffer communication function Buffer memory auto-refresh function

For details of Nonprocedural protocol mode, refer to the following manual. CC-Link System RS-232 Interface Module User's Manual (Nonprocedural

Protocol Mode)

1 OVERVIEW

(a) The send/receive buffer communication function allows effective use of the transmission path. By using this function, only the necessary data of the specified size can be sent/ received at any given timing. This can improve the transmission line efficiency (link scan time) because unnecessary data will not be transferred.

(b) The buffer memory auto-refresh function makes communication easier. The buffer memories of the AJ65BT-R2N and master station are refreshed automatically at a timing set in the AJ65BT-R2N. The buffer memory auto-refresh function eliminates the need for creating programs for reading/writing data between the AJ65BT-R2N and master station. Data can be read or written with intelligent function module devices or FROM/TO instructions, which makes programming easier.

(4) Frames can be added at the time of data exchange with the external device. Any fixed data (frame) can be added to the beginning and end of the original data, which allows data communications in any data format appropriate to the specifications of the external device. There are two frame types: Default registration frames that have been registered in the AJ65BT-R2N and User registration frames that the user is required to register to the E2PROM. For details of Nonprocedural protocol mode, refer to the following manual.
