characteristics.

(4) High resolution of 1/±4000

By changing the input range, you can choose and set the digital value resolution
to either 1/4000 or 1/±4000 (Only AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN) to provide high-
resolution digital values.

(5) Designation of sampling processing or average processing

As a conversion method, you can specify sampling processing or average
processing per channel.

(6) Sharply reducible wiring man-hours

Wiring man-hours can be reduced sharply by adopting individual wire insulation
displacement termination type one-touch connectors (no need for soldering,
shield peeling and screwing) to connect the communication and power supply
cables.

Connector

Soldering, peeling of the shield

and screwing are unnecessary.

Each of the individual wires

Push in can be securely connected
simply by pressing the side
surface of the connector plug
after the wires are inserted
into the connector.

(7) Significant improvement of wiring performance

The above one-touch connectors for IN and OUT sides are plugged individually,

3.3.5 Conversion speed

Conversion speed indicates time from channel changing to A/D conversion completion.
Conversion speed per channel of the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN 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.

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 Average processing

The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN performs A/D conversion to the channel(s) for the

average processing specified by the programmable controller CPU for the set number
of times or for the set time. The average is then obtained from the total value excluding
the maximum and minimum values, and stored in the remote register. When the
number of processing is two times or less, the sampling processing is performed.
When the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting is performed, the average processing
is initialized.

(1) When the average processing specification is made for time

• Set the time in 1 ms modules.
• The number of times for processing for the set time depends on the number of
A/D conversion enabled channels.
Set time
(Number of times for processing) =
(Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) × 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When the number of A/D conversion enabled channels is two, and the
set time is 1000 ms:
1000/(2 × 1)=500 times

(2) When the average processing specification is made for the number
of times
The processing time to store the average value (average of number of times) into
the remote register depends on the number of A/D conversion enabled channels.

(Processing time) = (Set number of times) × (Number of A/D conversion enabled channels) × 1 (ms)

Maximum conversion speed

[Example] When two channels, channels 1 and 3 are A/D conversion enabled,
and the set number of times is 500:
500 × 2 × 1=1000 (ms)

3.5.2 Functions of the remote I/O signals

Table 3.6 explains the functions of the remote I/O signals of the AJ65VBTCU-
68ADVN/ADIN.

Table 3.6 Remote I/O Signal Details (1/2)

Device No. Signal Name Description
The A/D conversion completion flag turns on at completion of the A/D conversion of the
corresponding channel when the initial data setting request flag (RY(n+1)9) turns from
off to on after power-on.
The A/D conversion completion flag processing is processed only once when the A/D
RXn0 conversion enable/prohibit specification is changed.

RXn7 When the average processing is specified, the flag turns on after completing the
average processing of the number of times or time, and storing the A/D conversion
digital value in the remote register.
When changing the A/D conversion from enable to prohibit:
The corresponding channel's A/D conversion completion flag turns off.
Turns on if the number of E2PROM write times exceeds its limit (100,000 times per
channel). 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.
RXnC E2PROM write error flag
At occurrence of this error, power on the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN again. If this flag
turns on after the power is switched on again, it is a hardware fault. Contact your
nearest Mitsubishi representative.
After power-on, the initial data processing request flag is turned on by the AJ65VBTCU-
68ADVN/ADIN to request the initial data to be set.
Also, after the initial data processing is complete (initial data processing completion flag
RY(n+1)8 ON), the flag is turned off.

(a) Average processing initialization
The data in the work area stored by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN
system to perform the average processing is initialized.
For example, at a channel with the average processing specification at 50
times, if the conversion enable/prohibit is set after having completed
sampling for 30 times, the 30 sampling data is all cleared, and then the
average processing is performed from the initial state.

(b) A/D conversion completion flag processing

The A/D conversion completion flag processing is performed only once
when the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting is changed.
• When changed the A/D conversion from prohibit to enabled:
When the average processing is specified, the flag turns on after
performing the average processing for the number of time or time and
storing the A/D conversion digital value in the remote register.

• When changed the A/D conversion from enabled to prohibited:

The A/D conversion completion flag for the corresponding channel is
turned off.

4.4 Concept of Mode Select Switch Setting (Selection of Remote Device Station Compatible
Version)

The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN must be handled after setting of the remote device

station version according to the configuration of the used CC-Link system.

There are the following remote device stations.

• Ver. 1 remote device station (Ver. 1 compatible device station)
• Ver. 2 remote device station (Ver. 2 compatible device station)

Set the remote device station version with the "mode select switch" of the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN. Refer to Section 4.3 for details of the mode select switch.
In addition, "mode setting" and "station information (station type)" in the network
parameters of GX Developer must be set simultaneously. For details, refer to (2) in this
section and Chapter 5 Programming.

(1) Basic concept

Use the following as a guideline in setting the remote device station version and
mode select switch.
Mode Select Switch Setting Guideline for Selection
In the case of the system where the maximum
Ver. 1 remote device station
number of connected stations of the master station,
(Ver. 1 compatible device station)
including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that
Number of occupied stations: 3 stations
occupies 3 stations, does not exceed 64 stations.
In the case of the system where the maximum
number of connected stations of the master station,
including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that
Ver. 2 remote device station
occupies 3 stations, exceeds 64 stations. (However,
(Ver. 2 compatible device station)
configure a system where the maximum number of
Number of occupied stations: 1 station
connected stations of the master station, including
the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that occupies 1
station, will not exceed 64 stations.)

POINT
In the case of the system where the maximum number of connected stations of the
master station, including the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN that occupies 3 stations,
does not exceed 64 stations, set and use the ver. 1 remote device station (ver. 1
compatible device station). It is not particularly necessary to set and use the ver. 2
remote device station (ver. 2 compatible device station).

4.9 Wiring

This section provides the instructions for wiring the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN and its
wiring with external equipment.

4.9.1 Wiring precautions

To obtain maximum performance from the functions of AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN

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 AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN 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 programmable controller. Noises, surges, or conductivity may
affect the system.

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

(4) Smoke and fire may occur when an overcurrent flows intermittently for a long
period of time. To avoid this, configure a safety circuit, such as an external fuse, to
protect the product.

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 needs to be powered on 30 mintes prior to operation for
compliance to the specification (sccuracy).
• Do not insert the one-touch connector plug for I/O of the one-touch connector
type/connector type compact remote I/O unit into the one-touch connector for
analog I/O accidentally.
Doing so can cause the module to be damaged.
• In an unused channel, if terminals remain open, an erratic digital value may be
output.
To prevent this, take any of the following measures.
1. Select Prohibit in the A/D conversion enable/prohibit setting for the unused
channel.
Note that changing the setting from Enable to Prohibit will reduce the
sampling cycle.
2. Short-circuit the input terminals (terminal V+ and V-) of the unused channel.
3. Connect the AG terminal to the GND terminal of the external device.

4.10 How to Wire the One-Touch Connector Plug

This section describes the way to wire the one-touch connector plug.
Refer to section 2.3 for more information on the types and specifications of the one-
touch connector plugs which conform to the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN.

4.10.1 Precautions for the transition wiring of the one-touch connector for power supply and
FG

When the power supply is connected in the transition wiring with the one-touch
connector for power supply and FG, a current flows in the inside of the module. At the
transition wiring, the maximum rated current must be lower than the following values.
Smoke and fire may occur when an overcurrent at the rated value or higher flows
intermittently for a long period of time. To avoid this, configure a safety circuit, such as
an external fuse, to protect the product.
Depending on the operation characteristics of the fuse etc., a current which exceeds
considerably the rating may flow. Therefore, in order to avoid the damage on the
module, make a selection with enough safety allowance, considering the following
maximum rated current.

Note that the master module can register the initialization procedure of only
the specified station out of the multiple remote device stations.
The master module supporting this function is the QJ61BT11N which serial
No’s first 5 digits is 08032 or later.
For details, refer to the CC-Link System Master/Local Module User’s Manual.

*2 Before the communication program is executed with remote device stations, the
program enclosed by the dotted line 1) enables the initial setting by using the SB0D
(remote device station initialization procedure registration instruction) and SB5F
(completion status of remote device station initialization procedure). Initialization
processing can’t be made only by the parameter setting of GX Developer.

(2) Differences between AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI and AJ65VBTCU-

68ADVN/ADIN
The AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN can be handled according to the system. (Refer
to Section 4.4 for details.)

For the AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI, the number of stations occupied by the

module was 3 stations.
For the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN, the number of stations occupied by
the module can be handled as 1 station by setting the mode select switch
of the module to the ver. 2 remote device station.

Further, for the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN, the number of stations

occupied by the module can also be handled as 3 stations, like the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI, by setting the mode select switch of the module
to the ver. 1 remote device station.

In the system where the maximum number of connected stations of the

master station exceeds 64 stations when the number of stations occupied
by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN is handled as 3 stations, use of the
AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN in the above setting can increase the number
of connected remote device stations.

(3) Compatibility between AJ65VBTCU-68ADV/ADI and AJ65VBTCU-

68ADVN/ADIN
There is compatibility when the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN is used as the ver. 1
remote device station in the existing system. (Refer to Section 4.4 for details.)

When the AJ65VBTCU-68ADV is replaced by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN or

the AJ65VBTCU-68ADI is replaced by the AJ65VBTCU-68ADIN in the
existing system, the replacement can be made without the programs being
A
modified since the remote I/O signals, remote registers, etc. are the same.

Set the mode select switch of the module to the ver. 1 remote device
station and use the same station number.

POINT
To handle the AJ65VBTCU-68ADVN/ADIN according to the system, the mode
select switch of the module must be set, and at the same time, "mode setting" and
"station information (station type)" in the network parameters of GX Developer must
also be set.
Set the network parameters of GX Developer according to the system.
