[Precautions for startup and maintenance] WARNING Do not touch the terminals while the power is on. Doing so may result in electric shock or malfunction. When cleaning or re-tightening the screws on the terminal block and the unit mounting screws, make sure to shut off all phases of the external supply power used in the system.
Overview 1. Overview The B2G78-E1 operates as a gateway unit for the Ethernet and AnyWireASLINK. The AnyWireASLINK system can be connected to the Ethernet by using this gateway. The AnyWireASLINK system is a "Sho-Haisen" (wiring saving) system consisting of compact and fewer-point/multiple-distribution units suitable for wire saving on the sensor level.

AnyWireASLINK 6.2 Slave units Types of slave units This product uses slave units for the AnyWireASLINK system. The following types of slave units can be used. Name Example of devices to be connected Input/output unit General-purpose switches, sensors, LEDs, solenoid valves, relays, etc. Relay output terminal AC drive load, etc.
AnyWireASLINK 6.3 Transmission line (DP-DN) The "AnyWireASLINK Protocol" is a low speed transmission clock that can also achieve effective high-speed transmission making it compatible with a wide range of cable characteristics, and therefore allows for various transmission cables and general-purpose electric wires to be used as transmission channels.

AnyWireASLINK Tree-branching method The tree-branching method is a way to re-connect a T-branched branch line using the T-branching method or multi-drop method. Actual wiring is the same as the T-branching method and the multi-drop method. Star-branching method The star-branching method is a way to connect the master unit and lay cable radially from a certain branching point to connect the slave unit.
AnyWireASLINK 6.5 Transmission distance All transmission distances described for AnyWireASLINK refer to the "total length" of a cable. Total length is the total cable length to be used including branches. Wiring of the AnyWireASLINK system can be established with only two transmission lines (DP, DN). The two transmission lines (DP, DN) support a maximum total length of 200m.

AnyWireASLINK 6.8 Terminator This unit incorporates a circuit which shapes the transmission waveform, and functions to avoid situations where the transmission waveform is disturbed by the external environment. Make sure to properly connect it to the transmission line as it has a polarity. (DP: Red, DN: Black) Reverse connection may result in transmission fault.
AnyWireASLINK 6.9 AnyWire filter If any of the parallel lines of DP, DN, 24V, or 0V exceeds the total length of 50m in a power supply system to be supplied, connect in series the "ASLINK filter [Type ANF-01]" or a "COSEL filter [Type EAC-06-472]" to 24V and 0V in the starting position of the parallel lines.

AnyWireASLINK 6.10 Address setting (reference) The "Address setting" of a slave unit is determined by which number bit (in order) in the AnyWireASLINK transmission frame the slave unit is associated with. Each terminal occupies the location of its own point number (with the set address number placed at the beginning) from that position.
