Optimum installation and easy wiring

Since modules can be individually specified, systems can be configured with a minimum number of points. A programmable controller also can be easily connected using the dedicated cable.

Input type

Configuration example : Voltage, current, distributor, RTD, thermocouple

Converting signals into analog signals that can be handled by the connected device: Programmable controller can be unified in current 4 to 20mA or voltage 1 to 5V for conversion to a signal that matches device to be turned connection.; Unifying the modules on the programmable controller side reduces the types of modules for maintenance.; [Current conversion]
Measurements outside the panel can be connected simultaneously by 2 outputs.; [Voltage conversion]
Suitable for use inside the panel.

Output type

Configuration example : voltage and current output

Converting signals into analog signals that can be handled by the connected device: Programmable controller can be unified in current 4 to 20mA or voltage 1 to 5V for conversion to a signal that matches device to be turned connection.; Unifying the modules on the programmable controller side reduces the types of modules for maintenance.; Analog-digital converter module (current or voltage).

Selecting an installation base unit suited for the number of channels

A minimum required configuration is achieved by selecting an installation base unit type suited to the number of channels and an installation method suitable for the system.

4-channel installation base unit

16-point spring clamp terminal type of digital signal converters (terminal module)
8-channel installation base unit

16-point spring clamp terminal type of digital signal converters (terminal module)

• Dispersed installation is possible when the total number of channels is 8 or less according to system configuration.

• The spring clamp terminal type product reduces wiring time and maintenance time because screws do not need be tightened.

Selection of the control method per point

The control method can be selected and mixed per point using module type.

Distributed installation to meet the system needs

Distributed installation using dedicated cables: Dedicated cables can be used to connect the programmable controller and analog signal converters.
Distributed installation of analog signal converters near the connected devices such as sensors is possible within 8 channels in total.

Distributed installation using network interface modules

Distributed installation using dedicated cables: Distributed installation is also possible by connecting the network master module of the programmable controller and the network interface module using a network cable.
Using just one network cable simplifies the wiring between the control panel and devices/relay box and the wiring for additional device installation.

Achieving wire saving with dedicated cables and the secondary output function

Configuration example: Time and costs for wiring are reduced significantly by using dedicated cables for the programmable controller connection and by using the secondary output function for the regulator/indicator connection.
• Secondary output function [Input]
　The same signal as the analog signal (voltage) input to the programmable controller is output from the secondary output terminal.
• Secondary output function [Output]
　The same signal as the analog signal (voltage or current) output from the programmable controller is output from the secondary output terminal.

Secondary output via terminal block: Converting the secondary output connector into a relay terminal block facilitates wiring to distributed devices such as regulators and indicators.

Connecting with a non-Mitsubishi PLC and computer

: Shielded cables with discrete cable on one side enable connection with any programmable controller regardless of the manufacturer.

Visualization of various analog signals

Collecting and controlling analog signals

: An optimal module can be mounted for each channel, and the secondary output function enables easy wiring with devices such as regulators. As a result, data of the devices such as sensors can be easily visualized.

Noise immunity

Isolation between channels

The circuit is isolated to prevent each channel from being affected by other channels (analog signals)
(except for signal pass-through modules).
Shielded cables

For the cable connecting the programmable controller and the installation base unit, a terminal block or shielded cable is used on the programmable controller side.

For the cable connecting the installation base units, a shielded cable is used.

Easy startup and maintenance

Module replacement

Tools such as screwdrivers are not required for module replacement.
Continuity check using a tester port

The time required for continuity check can be reduced because the spring clamp terminal type product has a tester port.
Installation near the connected devices

Installing the product near devices such as sensors improves the efficiency in wiring checks during maintenance.
