[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
zInput/output could be switched on or off when a problem occurs in the
repeater module.
So build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any input/output
signals that could cause a serious accident.
zUse the module in an environment that meets the general specifications
contained in this manual. Using this module in an environment outside the
range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire,
erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.
zDo not install the control wires or communication cables together with the
main circuit or power wires.
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94inch) or more between them.
Not doing so could result in malfunctions due to noise.
zDo not directly touch the module's conductive parts.
Doing so may cause malfunctions or failure of the module.
zFix the module securely with a DIN rail or screws, and when using screws,
tighten them within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening
can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage to the screw or
module.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
zBefore installation or wiring, be sure to shut off all phases of the external
power supply used in the system.
If the power is not disconnected at all phases an electric shock or product
damage may result.
zAlways earth the FG terminal to the protective earth conductor. Otherwise
there will be an electric shock or misoperation.
zPerform correct wiring for the module according to the product’s rated voltage
and terminal arrangement. Connecting to a power supply different from rating
or miss-wiring may cause fire and/or product failure.
zEnsure that no foreign matter such as chips and wire-offcuts enter the module.
Foreign matter can cause a fire, failure or malfunction.
zBe sure that the communication cable connected to the module is kept in the
duct or is fixed with cramps.
Failure to do so may cause a damage to the module or cables due to
dangling, shifting or inadvertent handling of cable, or malfunction because of
bad cable contacts.
zDo not install the control lines together with the communication cables, or
bring them close to each other. Failure to do so may cause malfunctions due
to noise.
zWhen disconnecting the communication and power supply cables from the
module, do not hold and pull the cable part.
Disconnect the cables after loosening the screws in the portions connected to
the module.
Pulling the cables connected to the module can damage the module and
cables or can cause a malfunction due to a cable connection fault.
DANGER
CAUTION

A-4
[STARTING AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
zDo not disassemble or modify the modules.
Doing so could cause failure, erroneous operation, injury, or fire.
zBe sure to shut down all the phases of the externally supplied power used in
the system before cleaning the module, retightening the module fixing screws,
and attaching/removing the module.
Not doing so can cause the module to fail or malfunction.
zDo not install/remove the terminal block more than 50 times after the first use
of the product. (IEC 61131-2 compliant)
zBefore handling the module, make sure to touch a grounded metal object to
discharge the static electricity from the human body.
Failure to do say cause a failure or malfunctions of the module.
zWhen disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

1. OVERVIEW
This User’s Manual describes the specifications, names of parts, and
settings of the AJ65BTS-RPH type CC-Link system spring clamp terminal
block type repeater hub module (hereafter abbreviated as AJ65BTS-RPH)
used in the CC-Link system.
1.1 Features
The AJ65BTS-RPH is the module designed for improving flexibility in
cable wiring of the CC-Link system.
Using the AJ65BTS-RPH allows the extension of the transmission
distance and star-topology wiring (with 8 branch lines) in the CC-Link
system.
(1) Star-topology wiring (T-branch) with 8 branch lines (segments)
available in CC-Link system
By placing the AJ65BTS-RPH between modules of the CC-Link
system, star-topology wiring (T-branch) with up to 8 branch lines
(segments) can be used in the CC-Link system of all transmission
rates (10Mbps, 5Mbps, 2.5Mbps, 625kbps, and 156kbps).

(2) Extended transmission distance in CC-Link system
Use of AJ65BTS-RPH enables the transmission distance of the CC-
Link system to be extended.
In addition, use of multiple modules enables the transmission
distance of the CC-Link system to be extended up to 2 stages.
*1 Max. transmission distance at a transmission speed of 156kbps.
*2 Though it is not shown here, the other remote stations can be
connected between the repeaters.
(3) Energy saving realized by adoption of a spring clamp terminal block
(a) The AJ65BTS-RPH has adopted a spring clamp terminal block.
Because screw tightening is not needed, working steps can be
reduced.
(b) The terminal block can be installed to or removed from the
module, which reduces the maintenance cost and improves the
maintainability.
(c) All the operation and wiring parts are placed on the module front,
allowing easier operation and wiring.
(4) Improved maintenability by system separation
By using the AJ65BTS-RPH, any of the systems can be separated
and error location can be identified quickly.
This prevents the whole system from being seriously affected by an
error.
POINT
Branch lines with no error can send/receive data normally, not
influenced by each other.

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1 Total configuration
The total configuration employed when the AJ65BTS-RPH is used is as
shown below.
*1 The transmission speed of each segment must be matched with that
of the master station.
*2 2 stages of segments max. are allowed to be used.
*3 The 130Ωterminating resistor is not usable for a segment connected
on the branch line side of the AJ65BTS-RPH.
Use the 110Ωterminating resistor that is included with the AJ65BTS-
RPH.

2.3 Cautions on system configuration
(1) Conditions of usable master module
When the AJ61BT11, A1SJ61BT11, AJ61QBT11 and A1SJ61QBT11
modules are used, those of the functional version B or later must be
employed. Use the master module bearing the version 9707 B or
later in the DATE column of the name plate as shown in the figure
below.
When the QJ61BT11N, QJ61BT11 module are used, any module
can be used irrespective of the version.
