Introduction Instructions for Safe Use WARNING The S-LINK V system does not have any control functions, such as accident preventive function and safety function. For this reason, do not use the S-LINK V system if malfunction of the system may af- fect human lives or assets.
‘CC-Link User’s Manual.’ ● Be sure to put the PLC and the SL-VGU1-C in a conductive box. ● Be sure to ground the shielded cable that connects the PLC to the SL-VGU1-C in the 300mm area of the SL-VGU1-C. ● If the shielding effect is not enough, install a ferrite core.
Introduction For Use Use with conventional products The S-LINK V system cannot be used together with the conventional S-LINK system. Use with a conventional system may cause abnormal operation or damage. However, if these systems are used as the child stations of the open network (CC-Link, DeviceNet), 2 systems can be used together on the same network as 2 series of systems.
Introduction For Use Wiring Observe the following items to distribute cables: ● Make sure to carry out the installation and the wiring in the power supply off condition. ● Be sure to use the specified S-LINK V cables, CC-Link cables, or DeviceNet cables. ●...
System Outline I/O Control Points The S-LINK V system needs the following I/O control points. Design the system considering these points. ● Each controller can control up to 256 nodes (number of I/O units connected to the system) and 512 points. To control more than 512 points of I/O device, connect two or more controllers as the other systems.

System Outline ● The main line is the longest route distributed from the controller. NOTE ● The branch lines are the routes branched from the main line. The total cable length should satisfy the conditions shown in the following table: Transmission mode Total cable length (m) 1,600...
System Outline Connection of End Unit CAUTION If the cable lengths are the same, connect the end unit to the line having fewer nodes. Be sure to connect one SL-VEU end unit to the end of the main line. If the branch line length exceeds 80% of the maximum transmission distance, connect one SL-VEU unit to the end of the branch line, too.
System Outline Making of Branch Lines Using Cable Connectors You can make branch lines using connectors and terminal blocks. In addition, for this product, you can use ca- bles connectors commercially available. CAUTION The exclusive hook-up connectors can connect the exclusive 4-core flat cables only. 4-core VCTF cable commercially available Exclusive 4-core flat cable (non-shielded) (Note)
Transmission Delay Time CAUTION Due to difference in transmission protocols, the transmission delay time of the S-LINK V system dif- fers from that of the conventional S-LINK V system. Use the PLC program to solve this problem. For transmission, there are fastest transmission time and the slowest transmission time. Since this product uses the serial transmission method, transmission will be carried out as shown in the follow- ing figure.

Connect the shield wire of the CC-Link cable to one terminal, and ground the other terminal. Note: In case SL-VGU1-C is the end terminal of CC-Link, connect the termination resistance between DA and DB. However, as the termination resistance is not supplied, please arrange it separately.
● A large current may flow through the external power supply input, depending on the load. Use wires having sufficient current capacity. Further, when supplying power to the load from SL-VGU1-C, make sure not to ex- ceed the allowable through current.

Memory Map Transmission with the CC-Link will automatically refresh the buffer memories of the SL-VGU1-C and the CC- Link master. Using the FROM / TO command or automatic refresh setting (QnA, QnS, Q Series CPU), assign inputs and outputs to internal relays.
2 to 4 stations can be occupied. Note that the data on IN 112 to 127 and OUT 112 to 127 is assigned to the remote registers (RWrm, RWwm). Remote input (SL-VGU1-C → master) Input: 128 points (4 occupied stations)
Remote registers (RWrm, RWwm) are mainly used, and up to 256 input points and 256 output points can be assigned. 1 to 4 stations can be occupied. Remote input (SL-VGU1-C → master) Input: 256 points (4 occupied stations) Input: 256 points (4 occupied stations)
