○Terminal block (with switch cover open) Element Description Output connector To connect to the valve manifold LED display to indicate the status of the SI unit. LED and Switch cover Switches for setting the station number and transmission speed. Communication terminals (DA, DB, DG) To connect the CC-Link line with a CC-Link-dedicated cable.
Mounting and Installation ■Communication wiring The connection between a CC-Link-dedicated cable and an SI unit communication terminal for CC-Link is shown below. (1) Be sure to connect each signal line to its dedicated terminal. (Refer to Fig. 1) Tighten the screws securely with a torque of 0.5 to 0.6 N•m. The terminal screw is an M3 cross head screw.
Page 14
(4) The CC-Link-dedicated cable’s shield wire (SLD) should be connected to the “FG” terminal of the SI unit. For the EX12#-SMJ1, the "SLD terminal" and "FG terminal" are common. Therefore, connect 3 wires to the "FG Terminal" as shown in Fig. 4. Fig.
■Power supply wiring Connect the power supply wiring to the solenoid valve power supply terminals and to the SI unit control power supply terminals. Although the power supply consists of two separate systems, it is possible to use either a single power supply or separate power supplies.
Settings ○Display setting Display Meaning LED is ON when the communication power is ON Indicates whether the SI unit is communicating with the master station correctly. L RUN LED is ON when the SI unit is receiving normal data from the master station. LED is OFF during time-out.
Page 17
○Switch setting The setting for the station number and communication speed can be carried out using the rotary switches under the LED and switch cover. The settings must be carried out with the power supply for the SI unit turned off. •Station number setting Setting Setting range...

○Output and error information (1) I/O mapping table for master station Buffer Memory. EX12#-SMJ1 is a remote I/O station (1 station occupied, 32 inputs/32 outputs). An example of when the SI unit station number is set to 01 is shown below. Master station buffer area I/O memory map of EX12#-SMJ1 e.g.: “QJ61BT11N”...

(2) Output number assignment The output number refers to the D side solenoid position on the manifold and starts at zero. ∗: Standard wiring of the manifold is for double-solenoid valves and the output number starts at the A side and then B side in that order as shown in the figure a.
Maintenance •Mounting and wiring Item to inspect Criteria Countermeasure Are SI unit terminals Tighten the connector. (for communication and power supply) No looseness (Refer to “Mounting/ Installation”) securely connected? Are the terminating resistors securely Connect suitable terminating resistors to connected to both ends of the network Terminating resistors must be cables.

○Fuse replacement (Only EX126D-SMJ1) If an over current occurs in the power supply for communication or the power supply for solenoid valves, due to a short circuit etc, the fuse will disconnect the supply. In this case, remove the cause of the over current and replace the fuse. The fuse replacement should only be performed with the SI unit disconnected from the valve manifold.
Troubleshooting ○Troubleshooting Applicable model: EX12#-SMJ1 If an operation failure of the product occurs, please confirm the cause of the failure from the following table. If a cause applicable to the failure cannot be identified and normal operation can be recovered by replacement with a new product, this indicates that the product itself was faulty.
