Unit Functions and Restrictions
1.1 Unit Functions and How They Work
1.1.1 Functions of Cassettes
Using these cassettes attached to the CPU unit enables analog I/O control.
•An analog input and analog output can be controlled by attaching these extension cassettes
to the CPU unit.
•It is selectable from three types of cassettes in accordance with the intended use.
Input and output with simple programs
•For input data, a digital conversion value (0 to 4000) is read as an input device (WX).
•For output data, a digital value (0 to 4000) is converted to analog output data by being
written into an output device (WY).
The input and output range is switchable.
•The range can be switched with the switches on each cassette. The current input is switched
according to wirings.
Equipped with the thermocouple disconnection alarm function (Thermocouple input
cassette)
•When a thermocouple is disconnected, the value is digitally converted to the fixed value
(K8000) so that you can determine the situation is not normal.

Precautions on the characteristics of analog I/O cassette
When the power to the CPU unit turns on or off, voltage (equivalent to 2 V) may be output for approx. 2 ms from
the analog I/O cassette. If it will be a problem on your system, take necessary measures externally to avoid the
transitional condition, e.g. turning on PLC before external devices or turning off external devices before PLC.

Precautions on wiring
•Use double-core twisted-pair shielded wires. It is recommended to ground them. However,
depending on the conditions of the external noise, it may be better not to ground the
shielding.
•Do not have the analog input wiring close to AC wires, power wires, or load. Also, do not
bundle it with them.
•Do not have the analog output wiring close to AC wires, power wires, or load. Also, do not
bundle it with them.
•On the output circuit, a voltage amplifier and a current amplifier is connected in parallel to
one D/A converter IC. Do not connect an analog device to the voltage output terminal and
current output terminal of the same channel simultaneously.
