This product does not possess control functions needed for accident prevention or safety
maintenance. Handle safety related or emergency stop signals without passing them
through the S-LINK system due to fail-safe considerations.
Before touching this product, remove any electrostatic charge that may be present on
your body. There is a danger of this product getting damaged due to the electrostatic
charge.

2. PRECAUTIONS
POWER SUPPLY
࡮Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating. Also, the voltage variation at the end terminal of the
transmission route, since voltage drop occurs depending on the diameter or the length of the transmission cable.
࡮If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the
power supply is connected to an actual ground.
࡮Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is switched on. Further, if the system is in BUSY
condition, the signal transmission is not carried out.
࡮Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an auto-transformer (single winding transformer)
is used, this product or the power supply may get damaged.
࡮In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge absorber to the supply and absorb the surge.
࡮In case the connected computer is turned off first, note that the output hold function of S-LINK output unit may not work.
WIRING
࡮Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can
cause malfunction due to induction.
࡮Make sure to carry out the installation and wiring in the power supply off condition.
࡮In order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
࡮Always use the specified transmission cable.
࡮Take care that wrong wiring will damage the product.
ENVIRONMENT
࡮In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product,
connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
࡮This product does not have a dust-proof or water-proof construction. Do not use it in a place having excessive
vapor, dust etc.
࡮Take care that the product does not come in direct contact with water, chemicals or organic solvents, such as
thinner, etc. Further, do not use it in an environment having corrosive gas.
࡮Do not use the product in places where the ambient temperature or the humidity exceeds the specifications.
TERMINAL
࡮Do not tighten the screws with a torque exceeding the specifications.
OTHERS
࡮S-LINK is not compatible with S-LINK V.
࡮Please refer to the S-LINK Design Manual and the S-LINK Construction Manual for details of the complete
S-LINK system.
࡮Design the protection or safety circuits against system trouble external to the S-LINK system.

In case ‘Bank change-over response register = 00’ (Initial value)
࡮This is an area to read out input data and write in output data of S-LINK I/O units.
In case of input, ‘0: Input OFF’ or ‘1: Input ON’ can be read out for each bit.
In case of output, write in ‘0: Output OFF’ or ‘1: Output ON’ in each bit.

Notes: 1) Output is maintained until overwritten with the next output data.
2) In case output data is mistakenly written into an input unit, the written data is ignored and new input data
is set after 1.4 to 10.7ms.

In case ‘Bank change-over response register = 01’
࡮It shows the addresses of the S-LINK I/O units at which Error 4 has occurred.
When a bit is ‘1’, Error 4 (cable disconnection or abnormal S-LINK I/O unit) has occurred at
the S-LINK I/O unit having that address.

Note: Addresses of units where Error 4 occurs is held on. Error 4 can be released (‘0’) by switching on again either
the S-LINK system side power supply (㧗24V DC) or the Compact PCI bus power supply (computer power
supply) after fault rectification.

In case ‘Bank change-over response register = 02’
࡮It shows the addresses of the S-LINK I/O units connected on the S-LINK system main cables.
When a bit is ‘1’, an S-LINK I/O unit is connected at that address.

Note: When an S-LINK I/O unit has several I/O devices connected to it, only the bit corresponding to the first address
of that unit is set to ‘1’.

( ‘R/W’ ψRead out/ Write in, ‘R’ ψRead out)
bit 0, 2, 3 : ‘Error 1’, ‘Error 3’ and ‘Error 4’ are ‘1’ when the respective error occurs.
bit 4 : It is ‘1’ when communicating with the S-LINK I/O units.
bit 6 : It has the same operation as ‘4. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION System set but-
ton ’. When ‘1’ is written, the connection condition of the S-LINK I/O units at that time
is read.
(It automatically returns to ‘0’ after the reading.)
bit 7 : In case of sending different outputs to the same address, the former output data will
be ignored if the next output data is written in before the former output data has been
transmitted to the S-LINK output unit.
‘Confirmation of communication frame completion’ is used to confirm whether the out-
put data has been transmitted to the S-LINK output unit.
When number ‘1’ is written after writing in output data, it automatically returns to ‘0’
after transmitting the output data to the S-LINK output unit. So, transmission error of
output data will be prevented if you write in the next output data after its returning to
‘0’ is confirmed by the program.

Notes: 1) Error 1 and Error 3 are held on until fault rectification.
2) Error 4 is held on. It can be released (‘0’) by switching on again either the S-LINK system side power
supply (㧗24V DC) or the Compact PCI bus power supply (computer power supply) after fault rectification.

(HML 1) 1: Number of connected S-LINK I/O units / First address of units where Error 4 occurs

(In hexadecimal number system, 00H to 80H)

Note: When the same address is set for several S-LINK I/O units, they are regarded as one unit.
Under Error 4 condition:
It indicates the first addresses of S-LINK I/O units where Error 4 has occurred.
In case Error 4 occurs at several addresses, bit 7 = ‘1’.
bit Assignment
7 1: Error 4 occurs at several I/O units (in case the number of units with Error 4 = 1, bit = ‘0’)
6 to 0 Under Error 4 condition: First addresses of S-LINK I/O units with Error 4 (0 to 127)
(In hexadecimal number system: 00H to 7FH)
Note: ‘First address of units with Error 4’ is held on. Error 4 can be released (‘0’) by switching on again either the
S-LINK side power supply (㧗24V DC) or the Compact PCI bus power supply (computer power supply) after
fault rectification.

(HML 1) 2: I/O setup of S-LINK
It sets up or indicates the I/O assignment of S-LINK system.
Immediately after power supply or reset of the computer, it indicates the setup condition of I/O

When setting is done by programming, I/Os can be set in units of 16.


(HML 1) 4: Bank change-over request register
(HML 1) 5: Bank change-over response register
It is used for bank change-over of ‘ (HML) 0 to (HML) F: Data area’. First of all, write in the
number (‘00’ to ’03’) into ‘ (HML 1) 4: Bank change-over request register’ from the com-
puter. Then, 1.4 to 21.4 ms later, control board changes over bank of ‘ (HML) 0 to (HML) F:
Data area’, and writes in the changed bank number into ‘ (HML 1) 5: Bank change-over re-
sponse register’.

Notes: 1) In case a number other than ‘00 to 03’ is written into ‘ (HML 1) 4: Bank change-over request register’,
it compulsorily changes over bank to ‘00’. The output data is stored till the new output data is next written.
2) Do not read out / write in ‘ (HML) 0 to (HML) F: Data area’ until ‘ (HML 1) 5: Bank change-over
response register’ has been changed over.
(HML 1) 6 System set
It has the same operation as bit 6: system set button of ‘ (HML 1) 0: Flag’.
When a number other than ‘00’ is written, the S-LINK I/O unit addresses at that time are read.
It automatically returns to ‘00’ after reading.

(HML 1) 7: Frame check
It has the same operation as bit 7: frame check of ‘ (HML 1) 0: Flag’.
In case of sending different outputs to the same address, the former output data will be ignored if
the next output data is written in before the former output data has been transmitted to the S-LINK
output unit. ‘Confirmation of communication frame completion’ is used to confirm whether the output
data has been transmitted to the S-LINK output unit.
When writing in numbers other than ‘00’ after writing in output data, it automatically returns to ‘00’
after the output data is transmitted to the S-LINK output unit. So, transmission error of output data
will be prevented if you write in the next output data after its returning to ‘00’ is confirmed by the
program.

(HML 1) 8: Number of S-LINK I/O units where Error 4 has occurred
It indicates the number of S-LINK I/O units where Error 4 has occurred.
Error 4 can be released (‘0’) by switching on again either the S-LINK system side power supply
( 㧗 24V DC) or the Compact PCI bus power supply (computer power supply) after fault rectification.
(HML 1) 9: Number of connected S-LINK I/O units
