1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This manual gives information on specifications, handling, etc. for the
AJ35PTC(PP)-CNV-SIIGI type Transmission Converter (referred to as
"transmission converter") which is used by connecting to the MELSEC-
NETIMINI-S3 Data Link System (referred to as "NETIMINI") and the
A2CCPU System.
The transmission converter converts the transmission path of the
NETIMINI and A2CCPU systems. Transmission converter enables long
distance transmission to be performed and optical parts (optical rotary
joint, etc.) to beconnected. There are 6types of transmission converters
which enable the following conversion methods available.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION MELSEC-A
1.1 Features
(1) Distance between stations extensible upto 1 or 2km(1094 or
2 187yd)
The distance between stations can be extended up to
1km(1094yd) using two units of twisted-pair cablelplastic fiber
cable SI type optical fiber cable transmission converters.
The distance between stations can be extended up to
2km(2187yd) using
2 units of twisted-pair cable/plastic fiber ca-
ble GI type optical fiber cable transmission converters.
(2) Available as a relay box for extending the distance between sta-
tions
Since the transmission converter has no dedicated station, multi-
ple converters are used in each loop of the NETIMINI to extend
the distance.
(3) Transmission cables of the un~tfor twisted-pair cablelplastic fiber
cable
Unit for optical f~bercable can be used in the network of twisted-
pair cable. Unit for twisted-pair cable can be used inthe network
of optical fiber cable.
(4) Optical parts available
Conversion into the GI type optical fiber cable enables optical
parts (optical rotary joint for GI type optical fiber cable, etc.) to be
available.
