3.3.5 Conversion speed

Conversion speed indicates time from channel changing to A/D conversion completion.
Conversion speed per channel of the AJ65SBT-64AD is 1ms.
Due to the data link processing time of the CC-Link system, there is a transmission
delay until the A/D conversion value is read actually.
For the data link processing time, refer to the user's manual of the master module
used.

Example) Data link processing time taken when the master module is the AJ61BT11 or

3.4.1 Sampling processing

The A/D conversion is performed successively for the analog input, and the converted
digital output values are stored in the remote register.
The processing time to store the digital output value into the remote register after the
sampling processing differs depending on the number of A/D conversion enabled
channels.

(Processing time) Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When three channels, channels 1, 2, and 3 are enabled for conversion:
3×1 = 3 (ms)

3.4.2 Moving average processing

The specified count of digital output values imported per sampling time are averaged to
find a value, which is then stored into the remote register.
Since average processing is performed with data shifted per sampling, the most recent
digital output value is available.
Average processing can be performed without changing the conversion speed.
Use moving average processing count setting (address RWwm+2) to set the number
of moving average processings.
The count can be selected from among four types: 4, 8, 16 and 32 times.

This section explains the wiring of the CC-Link dedicated cable used for connection of
the AJ65SBT-64AD and master module.

4.7.1 Instructions for handling the CC-Link dedicated cables

Do not handle the CC-Link dedicated cables roughly as described below. Doing so can
damage the cables.
Compact with a sharp object.
Twist the cable excessively.
Pull the cable hard. (more than the permitted elasticity.)
Step on the cable.
Place an object on the top.
Scratch the cable's protective layer.

4.7.2 Connection of the CC-Link dedicated cables

Connect the CC-Link dedicated cable between the AJ65SBT-64AD and master
module as shown below.

4.8 Wiring

This section provides the instructions for wiring the AJ65SBT-64AD and its wiring with
external equipment.

4.8.1 Wiring precautions

To obtain maximum performance from the functions of AJ65SBT-64AD and improve


the system reliability, an external wiring with high durability against noise is required.
The precautions when performing external wiring are as follows:
(1) Use separate cables for the AC and AJ65SBT-64AD external input signals, in
order not to be affected by the AC side surge or conductivity.

(2) Do not bundle or place with load carrying wires other than the main circuit line,
high voltage line or PLC. Noises, surges, or conductivity may affect the system.

(3) Place a one-point grounding on the PLC side for the shielded line or shielded
cable. However, depending on the external noise conditions, it may be better have
a grounding externally.

*2 Indicates the AJ65SBT-64AD input resistor.
*3 For the current input, be sure to connect the (V+) and (I+) terminals.
*4 When noise or ripple occurs with the external cable, connect a condenser with
about 0.1 to 0.47µF (25V or higher voltage-resistant product) between the terminal
V and COM.
*5 Always perform grounding for FG1. When there is a lot of noise, it may be better
ground AG as well.
If the grounding wiring (grounding yes/no) is changed after the offset and gain are
set, perform the setting of the offset/gain values again.

POINT
A/D conversion values are fluctuated by self-heating within approx. 30 minutes after
power is turned ON.

4.9 Maintenance and Inspection

There are no special inspection items for the AJ65SBT-64AD module, but follow the
inspections items describes in the PLC CPU User's Manual so that the system can
always be used in the best condition.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING

The details of the errors which may occur when using the AJ65SBT-64AD and
troubleshooting are described.

6.1 Using the Remote Input Signals to Check Errors

In the AJ65SBT-64AD, occurrence of a write error turns on any of the following remote
input signals.

Device No. Signal Name Description


RXn4 CH.1 range error flag Turns on when the value set for input range setting is outside the setting
RXn5 CH.2 range error flag range.
RXn6 CH.3 range error flag Turns on if all channels are not set to any of "user range settings 1 to 3" at
RXn7 CH.4 range error flag offset/gain setting (in the test mode).
2
Turns on if value write failed due to excess of the E PROM write count over
2 its limit at the time of offset/gain setting.
RXnC E PROM write error flag
If this flag has turned on, this module itself has failed (hardware fault) and
therefore this flag cannot be reset (turned off) by the error reset request flag.
2
Turns on when CH. range error flag (RXn4 to RXn7) or E PROM write
error flag (RXnC) has turned on.
RX(n+1)A Error status flag This flag can be reset (turned off) by turning on the error reset request flag.
2
However, for the E PROM write error which cannot be reset, this flag cannot
be reset, either.
6
(1) For the input range setting error (RXn4 to RXn7), the "RUN" LED flickers at
intervals of 0.1s and A/D conversion is not performed on all channels.

(2) For the E2PROM write error (RXnC), power on the AJ65SBT-64AD again.
If the E2PROM write error (RXnC) turns on after power is switched on again, it
indicates a hardware fault. Contact your nearest Mitsubishi representative.

(2) Precautions for replacing the conventional product (AJ65BT-64AD)


with the AJ65SBT-64AD
In the existing system using the conventional product (AJ65BT-64AD), the
following instructions must be noted when changing the AJ65BT-64AD for the
AJ65SBT-64AD.
(a) Since the AJ65SBT-64AD occupies one station (the AJ65BT-64AD occupies
two stations), the station information setting in the network parameters must
be changed.

(b) As the remote I/O signals and remote register settings are different between
the two models, the program of the conventional model cannot be utilized.

(c) Because of the differences in shape and layout between the terminal blocks,
you cannot use the terminal block of the conventional module as it is.

(d) The offset/gain setting method differs. For details, refer to Section 4.4.

(e) The ways to set the station number and transmission speed setting switches
are different. For details, refer to Section 4.3.
