Introduction The S-LINK V is a flexible wire-saving that uses our original transmission system to enable high-speed and highly reliable signal transmissions. Fully understand the functions and performance of this system before constructing this system. This manual provides information necessary for construction of the S-LINK V flexible wire-saving system.
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.
To conform to the EC Directives, the S-LINK V system is tested in accordance with the EMC Directive standards, such as EN 61000-6-4 of the EMI standard and EN 61000-6-2 of the EMS standard. When you incorporate the S-LINK V sys- tem in your machine or equipment, check that the wiring condition conforms to the requirements of the EC Directives.
● Select a power supply unit equipped with the short-circuit protective function (fuse, etc.). ● The power of the S-LINK V system passes through the inside of each unit and is then supplied to the main cable or I/O device side. However, the short-circuit protective function is not adopted for this power supply circuit.
Designing / Installation Procedures Chapter 1 Designing System ● Determine the system design. ● Determine the necessary number of I/O points for the I/O device. ● Determine the cable length necessary for transmis- sion. ● Select the transmission speed. ● Set the address. How long? ●...

System Configuration Example of system configuration An example of the S-LINK V system is shown below. Control board For the specifications of each unit, refer to Chapter 4. S-LINK V control board S-LINK V control board Input connector for PLC...
Note: The VCTF cable is the vinyl cabtyre cable that conforms to the requirements of JIS C 3306 ‘Polyvinyl chloride insulated flexible cords.’ To wire the S-LINK V system, use 4-core cables so that the wire system can consist of 2 power supply lines (+24V, 0V) and 2 signal transmission lines (D, G).
If the controller is equipped with the error signal output function, the controller can output an error signal after detection of an error. To output an error signal, the S-LINK V system will be turned on properly. If an error occurs, the NPN output transistor will be turned off.
Outline of Design Connection of End Unit CAUTION Each system needs at least 1 SL-VEU end unit. If the SL-VEU unit is not connected, the system may not operate properly. If the cable lengths are the same, connect the end unit to the line having fewer nodes (units). Be sure to connect 1 SL-VEU end unit to the end of the main line.
Outline of Design Making of Branch Lines Using Cable Connectors Branch lines can be made by using connectors and terminal blocks. In addition, for this product, cables or connectors that are commercially available can be used. CAUTION The exclusive hook-up connectors can connect the exclusive 4-core flat cables only. Exclusive 4-core flat cable 4-core VCTF cable commercially available (non-shielded) (Note) Making of ‘T’...

For this reason, calculate the voltage drop value between +24V and 0V, and supply the rat- ed voltage to all the S-LINK V I/O units. However, it is not necessary to consider the voltage drop between the D and G, and that of the control cables and connector link cables.
Power Supply Capacity of System Necessity of Local Power Supply Unit The 24V DC power supply unit that drives the system uses either the centralized power supply method (use of only one power supply unit) or the decentralized power supply method (use of additional local power supply unit) to supply power to each unit.

Transmission Delay Time CAUTION Due to difference in communication protocols, the transmission delay time of the S-LINK V system differs from that of the conventional S-LINK system. 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.

Selection of Output Holding Function for Output Unit Output units are equipped with the output holding function. If a transmission error is detected, the output holding function will be activated to hold the output condition de- tected just before occurrence of the error. Output holding function setting method CAUTION Before setting the output holding function, fully understand the function, and check the operation con-...
● Be careful not to set the same address for the S-LINK V I/O units. ● Set the addresses of S-LINK V I/O units while observing the I/O area set by the PLC I/O connectors. Note that any address exceeding the I/O control points cannot be set.
Address Setting Example: Address setting ● If PLC I/O connector is connected to the A1SX42 (input module) and the A1SY42 (output module) manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation: F side L side PLC I/O connector PLC I/O connector Address model Connector No. SL-VS3 0 to 31 Input...
