1 Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations
and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of
potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.”
They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition
to International Standards (ISO/IEC)*1), and other safety regulations.
*1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
ISO 4413: Hydraulic fluid power - General rules relating to systems.
IEC 60204-1: Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines.
(Part 1: General requirements)
ISO 10218-1: Manipulating industrial robots -Safety. etc.
•Refer to product catalogue, Operation Manual and Handling
Precautions for SMC Products for additional information.
•Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Caution indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Danger indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning
•Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and
standards.
•All work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified person in
compliance with applicable national regulations.
Caution
•Provide grounding to assure the safety and noise resistance of
the Fieldbus system.
Individual grounding should be provided close to the product using a
short cable.
•When conformity to UL is required the SI unit must be used with
a UL1310 Class 2 power supply.

4 Installation
4.1 Installation Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read
and understood.
•For further details on mounting and installation tothe vacuum manifold,
refer to the vacuum manifold operation manual.
•The SI unit must be connected to a vacuum manifold before it is
powered ON.
Caution
•Be sure to turn OFF the power.
•Check there is no foreign matter inside the SI unit.
•Check there is no damage and no foreign matter on the gasket.
•If the SI unit is not assembled correctly, the internal PCBs may be
damaged or liquid and/or dust may enter into the unit.
•Tighten the screws with the specified tightening torque.
4.2 Environment Warning
•Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
•Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
•Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of
the product’s specifications.
•Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result in
temperatures in excess of the product’s specifications.
5 Wiring
5.1 Communication / Power Connector
•IO-Link communication and power connector layout (Port Class B).
BUS IN : M12 5-pin plug, A-coded
•The power supply for logic/input and the power supply for output are
isolated.
•Select the appropriate cables to mate with the connectors on the SI
unit. Cable accessory details (SMC part number EX9-AC∗∗∗-S∗∗∗,
EX500-AP0∗0-∗and PCA-140180∗) can be found in the operation
manual on the SMC website (URL: https://www.smcworld.com).
5.2 Ground Connection
•Connect the FE ground terminal to ground.
The SI Unit must be connected to FE (Functional Earth) to divert
electromagnetic interference.
For maximum protection, the FE cable should be as thick and short as
reasonably possible.
The FE terminal and the metal parts of the fieldbus interface / power
supply connector are internally connected.
•Resistance to ground should be 100 ohms or less.
•FE terminal screw tightening torque: 0.3 N•m.
The M12 connector cable for fieldbus connections has two types,
standard M12 and
SPEEDCON compatible. If both plug and socket
have SPEEDCON connectors, the cable can be inserted and
connected by turning it 1/2 rotation.
A standard M12
connector can be connected to a SPEEDCON
connector.
