5. Mount the end plates MS-DIN-E (op-
tional) at both ends to hold the ampli-
ers between their at sides.
6. Tighten the screws of MS-DIN-E to
x the end plates.
How to remove sensor ampliers
1. Press down release lever of SC-71
and pull out the sensor amplifier.
(Note)
In state of cascading, the sensor am-
pliers can be pulled out.
Note: Be sure that the release lever is broken without
pressing down release lever when pulling out the
sensor ampliers.
Do not use the cascading connector unit that the
release lever is broken.
How to remove units
1. Loosen screws of MS-DIN-E.
2. Remove MS-DIN-E.
3. Slide
SC-71 to disconnect the connection.
4. Remove each units.
5MEMORY FUNCTION
●Memory function can be used only when connecting the optically communicationable
sensor amplier (FX-500 series or LS-500 series) and the end unit SC-GU3-EU
(op-
tional).
● This function enables to store the set contents of connected sensor ampliers in
the communication unit SC-GU3-02 by each channel and send the stored con-
tents to newly connected sensor ampliers by each channel.
When storing set contents
1.
Turn ON the power in the condition that the sensor ampliers are connected to
SC-GU3-02.
2. Storing starts after pressing the setting extension key down for approx. 2 sec.
3. When the storing to
SC-GU3-02
is complete, the memory function indicator
(yellow) lights up.
Note: To cancel the memory function, press the setting extension key for approx. 2 sec. again.
When sending the stored set contents
1. Turn OFF the power of
SC-GU3-02.
2. Remove the sensor ampliers that are connected to
SC-GU3-02
and mount
new sensor ampliers to which the set contents are transmitted to SC-71.
3. When turning ON the power of
SC-GU3-02
, memory function indicator (yellow)
blinks.
However, if the setting contents of the connected sensor ampliers are same
as the one that are stored in
SC-GU3-02
, it lights up.
4. When pressing the setting extension key, transmission of the set contents is
started.
5. When the transmission is complete, the memory function indicator (yellow)
turns to light up from blinking.
6CONNECTION WITH UPPER COMMUNICATION
● Make sure that the power is OFF while wiring.
● Be sure to use the specied communication cable.
● The communication distance should be within the specication.
●When connecting to the terminal block, in-
sert a solid wire or twisted wire (lead wire)
with a ferrule (sleeve) terminal (please ar-
range separately) into the hole as shown in
the figure at the right. The wire is locked
when it is properly inserted. However, do not
to pull the wire with excessive force, as this
can cause a cable break.
●When connecting the twisted wire (lead wire)
without a ferrule (sleeve), insert the wire to
the innermost of the connecting hole while
pressing the release button.
●When releasing the solid wire or the twisted
wire (lead wire), pull the wire while pressing
the release button.
●The following solid wire and twisted wire (lead wire) 0.2 to 2.5mm2(AWG 24 to
12) are recommended.
● Use the DeviceNet specied cable. Make sure to ground the shielded cable.
●When mounting the DeviceNet connector, the tightening torque should be
0.2N·m or less.
