5. Instalare & Ghid de cablare
6. Alimentare electrică: Independent DC24V supply for module itself; sensors also use DC24V signal
7. Autobuz CC-Link: DA/DB cables; 110Ω terminating resistors fitted at both ends of the bus
8. Common terminals: 8 points per common group, supports NPN/PNP. Keep unified polarity during wiring
9. Legare la pământ: Reliable earthing on FG terminal to reduce bus interference
10. Station number setting: DIP switches on module body to set CC-Link station number
11. Depanarea defecțiunilor comune

CC-Link Master Station Parameter Configuration (for AJ65SBTB1-32D, Remote I/O Station, ocupa 1 station)

Master module: QJ61BT11N (Q-series); Programming software: GX Works2; AJ65SBTB1-32D = Remote I/O Station, ocupa 1 station, 32-point RX input, no RY output and no RW registers.

Master station fixed station number: Station 0. Slave AJ65SBTB1-32D station number set via DIP switch: 1~64. Station 1 is used in this example.

1. Hardware DIP Switch (Set AJ65SBTB1-32D first!)
2. Station number DIP switch: Binary DIP switch for station address (de ex. Station 1 = 00000001)
3. Baud rate DIP switch: Must match master station baud rate

000 → 156kbps

001 → 625kbps

010 → 2.5Mbps (most commonly used on site)

011 → 5Mbps

100 →10Mbps

Fit 110Ω terminating resistors at both ends of the bus

Station Information (Critic!)

Clic [Station Information], add Station No.1:

Remote I/O station soft element mapping rule:

Station1: RX0~RX1F correspond to the 32 DI channels of AJ65SBTB1-32D

PLC internal soft elements for master station: RX mapped to PLC X addresses (auto-refreshed by GX Works)

3. Soft Element Refresh Mapping (QJ61BT11N)

CC-Link automatic refresh:

RX: Remote input → PLC internal X

RY: PLC output → Remote module output

RWw: PLC writes to remote registers

RWr: Remote registers read into PLC

AJ65SBTB1-32D (Station 1)

RX0~RX1F (32pic) = 32 DC input channels of the module

Exemplu: Sensor ON → RXn=ON; read RX bit directly in program.

4. FX5U + FX5-CCL-MS (FX5U CC-Link Master, GX Works2/3)

FX5U with FX5-CCL-MS master card can connect AJ65SBTB1-32D

1. Project → Parameters → CC-Link Parameters, Master type: Master station, Ver.1 mode
2. Add station entry for Station 1: Remote I/O Station, ocupa 1 station, RX=32, RY=0
3. Soft element refresh: RX mapped to FX5U X or M (customizable refresh address)

FX5U built-in Ethernet CC-Link IE Field Basic cannot directly connect old AJ65SBTB1-32D. This classic CC-Link uses RS485 bus and requires FX5-CCL-MS module.

5. Descărcați & Etape de punere în funcțiune
6. Complete all parameter settings, clic [Verifica], confirm no errors;
7. Write [Parametrii + Program] to PLC; PLC reset;
8. Power up remote modules with DC24V first, then power up PLC master station;
9. Observe indicators:

M/S: Master steady ON; RUN: Slave steady ON;

ERR off = Communication normal; ERR flashing = bus fault;

5. Online monitor RX soft elements; trigger sensors and verify corresponding RX bits turn ON/OFF.
6. Common Mistakes
7. ❌ Wrong station type: selected as Remote Device Station → communication failure; must use Remote I/O Station
8. ❌ Baud rate mismatch between master and slave
9. ❌ Missing terminating resistors, random disconnection over long cables
10. ❌ Duplicate station numbers, frequent in multi-slave networks
11. ❌ Ver.2 mode enabled; old AJ65SBTB1-32D is Ver.1 compatible, use Remote Net Ver.1 Mode by priority
12. Sample Program (SF / Ladder compatible)

Directly monitor RX0~RX1F, no special communication instruction required, CC-Link auto cyclic refresh.

Exemplu: LD RX0 reads channel 0 input of AJ65SBTB1-32D.

CC-Link ERR Lamp + QJ61BT11N Fault Code Reference Table (For AJ65SBTB1-32D)

Two sections: Quick LED Indicator Diagnosis (On-site check) + Hex Fault Codes read from GX Works Diagnosis (Precise troubleshooting)

Maestru: QJ61BT11N; Sclav: AJ65SBTB1-32D

1. LED Status Quick Reference (Master QJ61BT11N ERR Lamp)

Slave AJ65SBTB1-32D L.ERR Indicator

PW lamp OFF: No DC24V supply to slave, check power terminals and fuse first.

L.RUN lamp OFF: Data link not established; master cannot detect this slave station.

2. QJ61BT11N Master Hex Fault Codes (Read via GX Works CC-Link Diagnosis)

3. Q-series CC-Link Special Relay SW (Monitor in GX Works)

Identify offline station quickly via SW registers

1. SW0080~SW0083: Link error bits, bit maps to station number. ON = fault at that station

SW0080 bit0 = Station1 fault; bit1 = Station2 fault, and so on

2. SW006B: Detailed error type

0: Normal

1: Transmission line fault

2: Parameter error

3: CRC error (interferențe electromagnetice)

4: Timeout error (slave no response)

5: Abort error

6: Setting error

4. On-site Troubleshooting Sequence (AJ65SBTB1-32D)
5. Check slave PW lamp: OFF → inspect DC24V supply
6. Check slave L.RUN / L.ERR lamp
7. Open GX Works → CC-Link Diagnosis, read fault code + SW0080 to locate faulty station
8. Verifica: station number, baud rate, station type (Remote I/O Station)
9. Check DA/DB polarity, 110Ω terminators at both bus ends
10. Single-point earthing for shield; avoid both-end earthing to prevent ground loop
11. Separate CC-Link cable away from power cables to reduce interference
12. Common Pitfall Summary
13. Remote I/O Station mistakenly selected as Remote Device Station → BBC2 station type error, ERR flashing
14. Master Ver.2 mode enabled, old AJ65SBTB1-32D incompatible → B983 invalid module type
15. Terminating resistor fitted only on one end → random flashing, intermittent disconnection
16. DA DB wires reversed, entire bus down, master ERR steady ON
17. Modify DIP switches while powered on, slave L.ERR flashes periodically; power cycle to recover
