Operation Doing so may cause the NETC01-M3 and these equipment to short, damaging both. • Turn off the NETC01-M3 power in the event of a power failure. Or the motor may suddenly start when the power is Operation restored and may cause injury or damage to equipment.
The product described in this manual has been designed and manufactured for use in general industrial equipment. Do not use for any other purpose. For the power supply of the NETC01-M3, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its primary and secondary sides. Oriental Motor Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage caused through failure to observe this warning.

Mounting to DIN rail Pull down the DIN lever of the NETC01-M3 and lock it. Hang the hook at the rear to the DIN rail, and push in the NETC01-M3. After installation, secure the both sides of the NETC01-M3 with the end plate.
Use a DC power supply (switching power supply etc.) that conforms to the EMC Directive. Noise filter • Connect a noise filter in the DC power supply input to prevent the noise generated in the NETC01-M3 from propagating externally through the power supply line.
Page 10
Installation Notes about installation and wiring • Connect the NETC01-M3 and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so as to prevent a potential difference from developing between grounds. • When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise filters and CR circuits to suppress surges generated by them.
• When connecting, pay attention to the polarity of the power supply. Reverse-polarity connection may cause damage to the NETC01-M3. • Do not wire the power supply cable of the NETC01-M3 in the same cable duct with other power lines. Doing so may cause malfunction due to noise.
CN1 connector (CN1) Connecting the RS-485 communication cable Connect the NETC01-M3 and RS-485 communication compatible product using the supplied RS-485 communication cable. Connect the RS-485 communication cable to RS-485 communication connector (CN6). Since RS-485 communication cables of two lengths are supplied, use either one of the two.
NETC01-M3 are not electrically insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the NETC01-M3 and these equipment to short, damaging both.
Guidance 6 Guidance If you are new to the NETC01-M3, read this section to understand the operating methods along with the operation flow. As an example, this chapter explains how to perform positioning operation for the "CRK Series FLEX Built-in controller type [described as the CRD-KD in this manual]," using the NETC01-M3 via MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ...

How did it go? Were you able to operate the motor properly? If the motor does not function, check the following points: • Is any alarm present in the NETC01-M3 or CRD-KD? • Are the address number, transmission rate and termination resistor set correctly? •...
(SW2-Nos.1 to 3) Note Be sure to turn off the NETC01-M3 power before setting the switches. If the switches are set while the power is still on, the new switch settings will not become effective until the NETC01-M3 power is cycled.
Setting Station number Set the station number using the two MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ station number setting switches (STATION No.×1 and ×10). When connecting two or more MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ compatible products, do not set duplicate station numbers. Set the tens place with the "STATION No.×10" switch and the ones place with the "STATION No.×1" switch.
This chapter explains the MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ communication format that the NETC01-M3 supports. Data format The outline of the data format for MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ communication is shown below. The NETC01-M3 is compatible with the cyclic communication mode. The cyclic communication mode of MECHATROLINK-Ⅲ communication specifies that the header fields are 0 byte to 3 bytes and the data fields are 4 bytes and later.

When releasing a connection, the master station transmits the release connection command for two or more communication cycles. The NETC01-M3 interrupts the current processing and performs the initialization required to reestablish the connection. Then, it waits for the connect establishment request from the master station.
The control like the ON-OFF switching of I/O signals can be executed using serial communication. When remote I/O of the NETC01-M3 is assigned to the register of the master station, it is possible to control using remote I/O via the NETC01-M3. The following functions can be executed using remote I/O.
