WIRE-SAVING SYSTEMS S-LINK It contributes to the miniaturization of the machine due to reduced wiring space. 27 S-LINK Transmits 128 I/Os on Two Signal Lines and Realizes `T'-branch Multi-drop Wiring (Tree Architecture) S-LINK enables transmission of 128 I/Os of sensors, switches, or actuators on two signal lines up to 200m (400m with the booster). The S-LINK lines can be branched off in any direction, at any point, so that a flexible cable layout is possible. The original SUNX signal processing enables highly reliable `T'-branch multi-drop wiring.

Highly Reliable Signal Transmission * The loop wiring maintains the signal transmission over the entire system even if the loop may break at any one place. * If the cable breaks somewhere, the controller finds out the addresses of all disconnected units, and displays their first address. Specifying error addresses shortens the repairing time. No problem if the cable breaks at any one place. * The S-LINK system automatically turns its power off when excess current flows through the signal lines due to a short-circuit. * The double code collation makes the signal transmission secure and reliable. * S-LINK's unique signal transmission, large voltage amplitude (0 24V) and wide pulse width (35!s) provide high noise immunity. The signal transmission time is 5ms approx. for 32 points, or 11ms approx. for 128 points. S-LINK controller SL-CU1A Address display SL-CU1A Address No.0 Address No.1 In case the cable breaks here, the controller indicates Address No.1. Easy Input/Output Check * Since the S-LINK system can operate even when the PLC is disconnected, the system construction time can be drastically reduced by parallel development of the software (PLC program) and the hardware (equipment assembly, I/O device check). Further, in case of an error, it can be immediately found whether the error is on the PLC side or the I/O device side. * A handy monitor which can check I/O devices is available. The handy monitor can be hooked up to the S-LINK signal transmission lines at any place. I/O states can be checked in batches of 16. The handy monitor is also incorporated with the S-LINK controller functions, so that, for example, it can perform an I/O check on conveyor system segments, still under assembly, even without the S-LINK controller. Checking inputs/ outputs is easy. The S-LINK system can be independently operated without the PLC. Handy monitor SL-HM1 Note: Although, SL-HM1 incorporates the functions of the SL-CU1A controller, PLC I/O connectors cannot be connected. 28 * Connectable to terminal block type PLC * Multi-core cable PLC I/O units SL-S, SL-SP, SL-P, SL-PP are connectable to terminal block type PLCs. * Easily connectable to different manufacturers' PLCs * PLC I/O connectors SL-S, SL-P are one-touch connectable to different manufacturers' PLC I/O modules.

AT ST * Seamless connection to fieldbus networks * S-LINK can be connected seamlessly to fieldbus networks using the S-LINK gateway controllers. * Advanced wire-saving connection with S-LINK and fieldbus networks * Wire-saving connections can be realized even when using fieldbus networks. An efficient wire-saving network can be implemented by connecting distributed bit level data I/O devices, such as, sensors, switches, etc., by S-LINK. m Advantage of using with higher level networks Since the higher level networks mostly use cascade wiring with shielded twisted pair cable, the flexibility in wiring and wiring operations have not improved. In S-LINK, `T'-branch flexible layout can be realized using different types of quick connecting hook-up connectors, and distributed ON/OFF data devices, such as, switches, sensors, etc., can be efficiently wired. In this manner, an exceedingly efficient wire-saving link system can be realized in combination with higher level networks. * Long distance transmission The max. transmission distance is as follows. DeviceNet: 500m, PROFIBUS-DP and CC-Link: 1,200m, INTERBUS: 13km, JPCN-1/RS-485: 1,000m. S-LINK can transmit up to 400m using the booster (SL-BS1A). Hence, a system of total 1,600m can be constructed with PROFIBUS-DP or CC-Link (DeviceNet: 900m, INTERBUS: 13.4km). * Total I/O channels 8,064 Nos. Up to 99 Nos. of S-LINK gateway controllers can be connected as slaves to one PROFIBUS-DP master unit [DeviceNet: 63 Nos., INTERBUS: 256 Nos., JPCN-1/ RS-485: 31 Nos., CC-Link: 32 Nos. (Note 2)]. Since max. 128 Nos. I/O devices can be connected to one S-LINK gateway controller, I/O signal of total 12,672 channels [DeviceNet: 8,064 channels, INTERBUS: 4,096 channels (Note 3), JPCN-1/RS-485: 3,968 channels, CC-Link: 2,048 channels (Note 2)] can be transmitted. Notes: 1) The total No. of I/O channels may be less than the maximum No. mentioned above depending on the master unit capacity. Also, the No. of devices connectable to the S-LINK system may be less than 128 Nos., depending on the type of devices and places connected. Notes: 2) In case of the S-LINK gateway controller for CC-Link, the No. of controllable I/O channels varies with the No. of units connected to CC-Link. Notes: 3) For INTERBUS, one master unit can control up to 4,096 I/O channels only. * Personal computer can be used as master (for JPCN-1/RS-485) * PC/AT or compatible (ISA bus), NEC PC/FC-98 series personal computer or PC/104 bus board can be used as a master unit. Long distance and multi-point control is easily possible with a personal computer when the JPCN-1/RS-485 master board and the S-LINK gateway controller for JPCN-1/RS-485, SL-CU1-485, are used.

Handle safety related or emergency stop signals without passing them through the S-LINK system due to fail-safe considerations. Distributed Installation Conveyor S-LINK direct hook-up photoelectric sensor Booster PLC PLC I/O connectors 2 channel input unit S-LINK controller In a product transportation equipment, there are many input and output devices spread over various places. Although wire-saving has always been desired to reduce the cost and shorten the time of installation, long distance transmission and product reliability are essential. S-LINK allows a cable length of 200m, normally, and 400m along with a booster. The double code collation check plus high noise immunity enable signal transmission reliability. Furthermore, the S-LINK tree wiring architecture enables you to branch off sub-trunk lines or branch lines and hook-up input and output devices, anywhere you like. Test and installation block-by-block, and layout change after installation are quite simple jobs. Easy hook-up 24V DC power supply 1 channel I/O unit (output usage) S-LINK hook-up connector 2 channel I/O unit Parking garage Manifold electromagnetic valves suitable for S-LINK Booster AGV Use of flexible cable for moving equipment Personal computer Sensor Sensor Sensor Sensor The S-LINK system is very suitable to wire up car detection sensors in a large parking garage. It reduces wires and installation time. 40 Extremely effective in wire-saving with movable equipment. The signal transmission to AGV from a stationary controller has been very difficult. As the S-LINK system allows use of commercial cables in the system, the AGV equipped with the sensors and actuators can be linked with the stationary controller via one flexible cable. Besides, the S-LINK alarm capability, that generates an error output for a cable break, enables quick repair and ensures the system reliability. Integrated Installation Automatic assembly machine Snap-connector sensor blocks Sensor blocks with fiber sensors S-LINK hook-up connector 2 channel output unit Output arrayed terminal unit Manifold electromagnetic valves suitable for S-LINK 2 channel I/O unit Input arrayed terminal unit In an automatic assembly machine, there are many input and output devices distributed in various tight spaces. As the machine becomes more complex, the task of reducing the cable volume becomes more difficult. Wire-saving is the primary requirement, but reliability of signal transmission is also indispensable. In the S-LINK loop wiring, the system maintains signal transmission even when the loop may break at any one place. In the S-LINK standard wiring, the controller reveals disconnected device addresses when the signal transmission line may break. Further, even if excess current may flow by a short-circuit between the signal transmission lines, the controller shuts down the entire system. Plug-in connection 24V DC power supply PLC 1 channel I/O unit (input usage) PLC I/O connector S-LINK controller Handler Parts delivery system An IC handler uses many sensors. The S-LINK system contributes in reducing wires in order to miniaturize the machine. In a parts-taking verification system, the parts shelves are equipped with a number of area sensors at the front. The inputs equal the number of shelves and if job indicators are used, there are an equal number of outputs. The S-LINK system wires up all the area sensors with effective space and wire saving. 41 WIRE-SAVING SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS Simple Wiring `T'-branch Multi-drop S-LINK SL-BMW/BW S-LINK WIRE-SAVING SYSTEMS SL-BMW/BW S-LINK Simple Wiring `T'-branch Multi-drop S-LINK S-LINK SYSTEM CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE S-LINK control unit S-LINK is a wire-saving system which allows connection to max. 128 I/O devices by using one controller.
