●Precautions
WARNING
Do not touch any of the terminals while power is being supplied to the
product. Touching the power supply terminals on the front panel of the
product may occasionally result in electric shock.
Do not attempt to disassemble the product while the power is being sup-
plied. Doing so may occasionally result in electric shock due to the 24-
VDC power supply.
A lithium battery is contained in an S-RAM Data Carrier. Do not disas-
semble, deform under pressure, heat to above 212 °F (100°C), or inciner-
ate the S-RAM Data Carrier. Otherwise serious injury may result from fire
or rupturing of the battery.

xvi
Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of
the ID Controller or the system, or could damage the ID Controller. Always
heed these precautions.
• Always use the power supply voltages specified in the operation manuals.
An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.
• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the
rated voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places
where the power supply is unstable.
• Always turn OFF the power supply to the product before connecting or
disconnecting any cables or wiring the system.
• Wire all connections correctly according to instructions in this manual.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product.
• Check that the DIP switch settings are correct before operating the prod-
uct.
• Leave the label that is covering the vent holes attached during wiring. This
label is attached to prevent wire clippings from entering the product.
Remove the label after the completion of wiring to allow heat dissipation.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit.
Doing either of these may break the cables.
• Do not place objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so
may break the cables.
• Double-check all wiring before turning ON the power supply.
• Before touching the product, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic
object in order to discharge any static build-up.
• Stop operation and turn OFF the power supply immediately if you smell
any unusual odors, if the surface of the product become abnormally hot, if
smoke appears, of if the product seems unusual in any other way.
Precautions for Safe Use

xvii
Do not operate the control system in the following locations:
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications.
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tem-
perature.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in
the following locations:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
• Locations close to power supplies.

1-1 Features
Two-head ID Controller V600-IDSC02
Four-head ID Controller V600-IDSC04
The V600-IDSC02/04 ID Controller is used to read data from and write data to
the V600-series Data Carrier.
• These ID Controllers are equipped with a communications format for 1:N
connections. Using an RS-422A/RS-485 Converter, up to 32 Units can be
connected.
• It is possible to add horizontal parity as an FCS (frame check sequence),
mode, which improves the reliability of the host communications path.
• Multiple Read/Write Heads can be connected to a single ID Controller
providing flexibility for sophisticated production systems.
