4. Use the rated standard cables and connectors. Do not apply excessive power when connecting or
disconnecting the connectors of the product.
5. Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise.
In case installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power line and
shielded wire at input signal line. For stable operation, use shield wire and ferrite core, when wiring
communication wire, power wire, or signal wire.
6. Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise.

2. Overview of the ARIO-C-CL
2.1. CC-Link Protocol
CC-Link, one of the Fieldbus networks, is an industrial network composed of a topology of RS-485.
It supports the transmission distance of up to 100 meters at a transmission rate of 10 Mbps as well as
up to 64 stations with a high speed and deterministic data communication. The link scan time
supported by CC-Link can process the input signals of sensors that require a high-speed response or for
intelligent devices that require a large capacity of data communication. The data link system also
supports reducing wiring and costs for building a distributed system.
The ARIO-C-CL supports the CC-Link protocol. This coupler composes the physical structure of
connected modules and devices and creates input and output process images linked with the data of
CC-Link. The process images make it possible to experience a flexible installation environment, such as
the mixed arrangement of analog and digital modules.
2.1. CC-Link Protocol 15

2.2. Unit Descriptions
1. CC-Link Communication Connector It is a connector to connect with CC-Link master
station such as PLC.
For detailed information on the communication
cable, refer to the 2.3, “CC-Link Communication
Connector”.
2. DATARATE Rotary Switch It is a setting switch to set the transmission rate in
the CC-Link communication network.
For detailed information on setting the
transmission rate, refer to the 2.4, “Set the
Transmission Rate”.
3. Decimal Rotary Switches It is a setting switch to designate the station
number of the coupler in the CC-Link
communication network. You can also set the
station number in the DAQMaster.
For detailed information on addressing method,
refer to the 2.5, “Assign the Station Number”.
16 Autonics | ARIO-C-CL

4. CONFIG Port It is a port to connect to the PC where DAQMaster is
installed.
1. Port type: USB Type-B Micro
5. Indicators It displays the status of the coupler and
communication connection as shown below.
For detailed information on the indicators,
refer to the 3, Indicators.
1. Power and operating status of the coupler
2. CC-Link communication status
6. Power Supply Terminal It is a terminal block that supplies power to the
coupler and peripherals.
For detailed information on the device supply,
refer to the 2.6, “Connections of the Power
Terminal”.
7. Power Supply contacts It is a contact that feeds the power input from the
power supply terminal.
1. Top input contacts: feed the power supply for
the coupler, module, and ABUS to be operated.
2. Bottom input contacts: feed the power supply
for input and output signals of the connected
module.

2.4. Set the Transmission Rate
•Be sure to use the connector and cable approved by the CC-Link Partner Association
(CLPA).
•Be sure not to exceed the maximum cable length of each transmission rate.
•The maximum overall cable distances are described based on the terminal resistor
110 Ω. For more information on the relationship between the cable distance and
terminal resistor, refer to the CC-Link specifications sheet.
Refer to the table below to set the transmission rate via the DATARATE rotary switch.
Be sure to set the transmission rate of the coupler the same as that of the CC-Link master station.

2.5. Assign the Station Number
•It is recommended to designate the station number of the coupler the same as the
value of the rotary switches.
•The station number cannot be applied while the coupler is operating.
•Be sure to start the coupler again to apply the changed station number.
You can assign the coupler’s station number via two decimal rotary switches.
Be sure to set the station number not to be duplicated with other stations considering occupied station
numbers in each station (slave stations of the data link).
