We’ve realized a wire-saving system that’s easy to use
Remote I/O
Just with the wire-saving between
the PLC and the sub-stations,
you’ll be able to save a mountain
of I/O device connection wires.

The remote I/O is
one-dimensional
wiring
Allows for great wire-saving for
all connections. Installation is
made easy with no faulty wiring.
The power supply line can also
be wired up together enabling
true wire-saving for I/O
devices.

Via PLC I/O connectors, it can be linked to various PLCs
from any maker. Also available is a control unit enabling a
direct connection with any PLC bus line.
We’ve provided a PCI bus, ISA bus, C bus (PC/FC-98
Series), PC/104 bus, Compact PCI bus, and VME bus
compatible computer control board.
Also corresponds to the open network, which is growing
fast throughout the globe.
In addition, S-LINK compatible controllers made by partner
makers are consistently being introduced onto the market.
Refer to ‘SYSTEM LAYOUT’ on p.1038l or the S-LINK
partner maker information page on p.1051 for more details.
About 60 types of S-LINK I/O devices are made available
enabling various devices to be easily connected in any
location with great wire-saving.
In addition, S-LINK compatible I/O devices made by partner
makers are consistently being introduced onto the market.
Refer to ‘SYSTEM LAYOUT’ on p.1038l or the S-LINK
partner maker information page on p.1051 for more details.
Programming unnecessary
Commercially available cables can also be used
The S-LINK can be setup with just hardware connections
rendering specialized programming knowledge
unnecessary. Anyone can use it with ease.
You can use, apart from specially made 4-core cables,
commercially available cables such as flexible, heat-resistant,
or fluorine resin sheath cables singly or in combination
(conductor cross-section area 0.5 to 1.25 mm2, the SL-TW
series has a conductor cross-section area of 0.5 to 0.75 mm2).
Flat cable
Cabtyre cable
Upper-level network connection possible
Because it can be connected to any main open network, long-distance and multi-point transmission networks can be
constructed enabling a greatly enhanced network upgrade. Also, by wiring up scattered bit-oriented I/O devices that include
mostly connected sensors and switches, an efficient wire-saving layout can be realized. If exporting equipment that was
setup with any open network, it can be made to correspond to different networks just by installing an S-LINK gateway
controller with the entire S-LINK system left as it is.

High noise immunity
Specifies malfunctioning S-LINK I/O devices
Large voltage amplitude (24 V) and wide pulse width
(35 !s) signal transmissions make for units less prone to
impulse noise effects with no code errors.
We’ve realized the industry’s highest level of noise proofing
enabling them to be used even in worksites with
conventional, high-priced optical communication remote I/O
units.
In the event that verification cannot be obtained from an
S-LINK I/O unit, such as if the main cable is cutoff, the
address of the particular unverifiable I/O unit is specified
and displayed allowing equipment recovery time to be
greatly reduced.
Highly efficient transmission
Equipped with an output hold function
These units use a simple transmission format that covers
most I/O data transmission signals enabling a delayed
transmission time of approx. 11 ms for 128 points. (Of
course, the fewer the point count means less delay time)
S-LINK output devices are equipped with an output hold
function. When the signal transmission line is shutdown, the
output status values immediately prior to the malfunction
are stored greatly reducing the effect on the output devices.

Mid-system main / branch cable installation and removal possible
For conveyors or other large scale equipment, transport can also be done after dividing the whole into units of several meters
in length right at the factory. Then, reassembly and wiring can be effectuated onsite afterwards. Because the S-LINK can be
easily divided even from mid-system main / branch cables with the help of commercially available connectors and terminals,
the segmented equipment can be wired up prior to transport. Once onsite, assembly work is all but complete with just the
connecting of the individual units to each other.
In addition, when assembling the equipment, the S-LINK can work even disconnected from the PLC enabling software (PLC
programming) and hardware (machine assembly, I/O check) work to be done concurrently, which results in quick delivery time.
With the handy monitor, I/O devices can be checked for each piece of equipment separately enabling subcontractors to
conduct check work on delivery. This results in a total delivery deadline reduction and clearly defined subcontractor
responsibilities. Also, checking can be performed even without programming so you’ll know immediately if malfunctions are
coming from the PLC or the S-LINK.

Auxiliary materials reduced
By introducing the S-LINK, you can reduce the total cost of
system construction to one-fifth. Total costs including for
materials go down dramatically and, by decreasing the
workload, construction time is lessened which means you
can easily meet that tough deadline.
The S-LINK system:
• A hardware-only construction makes layout design simple
• With hook-up connectors, construction time is greatly
reduced
• Layout modifications made easy
• Equipment divided into separate segments make for easy
debugging
• Segmented equipment can be easily interlinked with
commercially available connectors
Great reductions in auxiliary materials such as cable racks,
cable ducts, intermediate terminal blocks, and cables. This
system also contributes greatly to the reduction waste
caused by cutting cable ends.

Wire-saving System
Because conveyors have multiple I/O
device points, wire-saving and construction
efficiency are the key to lowering overall
costs. Other systems may be wire-saving
but if they can’t prove useful for longdistance distribution lines or be reliable,
then they are useless. On this point, the
S-LINK system offers a total wiring length
of 400 m 1312.336 ft, 800 m 2624.672 ft
when using booster, with reliable T-branch
I/O device connections that can be
mounted in any desired location.
Because T-branching renders layout
designing simple, not only is it a wiresaving and construction efficient system,
but you can even save time in the actual
design stage.
In addition, you can divide main and
branch cables in mid-system with
commercially available connectors and
terminals so the time it takes to setup your
conveyor decreases greatly.

Display equipment can be mounted in automobile production lines
to notify operators when malfunctions occur or just to keep a
reliable count of units in each line.
Because each type of display equipment shows variegated data,
they necessitate a great amount of wiring. This wiring must be
conducted in very large factories requiring a substantial amount of
cables and wires. A wire-saving system in this situation would be
most effective.
Using the S-LINK system means that even display equipment can
be wired up with just one flat cable clearing up all the bulky wiring
inside the display panels themselves and realizing great material
cost savings as well as a reduced workload.

APPLICATIONS
Integrated installation
Turntable
Wire-saving systems are being greatly emphasized even for assembly lines
peppered with multiple I/O devices.
Also, to enhance productibility, using a wire-saving system is the key to reliability
and avoiding the occurrence of troubles.
In the S-LINK loop wiring, the system maintains signal transmission even when
the loop may break at any one place. In the S-LINK standard wiring, the controller
reveals disconnected device addresses when the signal transmission line may
break. Further, even if excess current may flow by a short-circuit between the
signal transmission lines, the controller shuts down the entire system.
S-LINK is a wire-saving system optimal for automatic assembly machinery.
Wiring I/O devices mounted on a rotating board (turntable) can
prove to be quite a difficult task. That’s because a slip ring that has
just as many terminals as wires has to be used. Therefore,
developing a large-scale slip ring with a reduced I/O point count
was our challenge.
S-LINK enables the connection of up to 128 I/O points on a 4-pole
slip ring. A compact slip ring can be used without worrying about
I/O points.
Handler
Parts delivery system
The handler in IC test equipment uses multiple sensors. For this
reason, reducing wires or making them more compact as well as
lowering cost or minimizing equipment are lingering issues.
S-LINK makes wire-saving and space-saving a reality and solves
these problems all at once.
Parts delivery system utilize many small picking sensors that verify
the selection of components by personnel.
The inputs equal the number of shelves and if job indicators are
used, there are an equal number of outputs.
The S-LINK system wires up all the picking sensors with effective
space and wire saving. Also, adding more boxes is made easy.

Description
This is the Multi-core cable PLC I/O unit for connecting the
screw-on terminal type PLC with the S-LINK system.
Interfaces I/O data between the S-LINK controller and PLC.
It includes the I/O data conversion circuit for serial to parallel or
parallel to serial conversion.
I/O points: 32 points per unit
Connection to screw-on terminal type PLC is by an optional
multi-core cable attached with an MIL connector on one end.
The multi-core cable attached with an MIL connector
Length: 2 m
on one end links the multi-core cable PLC I/O unit to
6.562 ft
a screw-on terminal type PLC I/O module.
Notes: 1) Components with ‘
’ mark conform to the CE marking EMC Directive.
However, note that for the multi-core cable PLC I/O units to conform to CE marking EMC Directive, it is necessary to use cascade cable SL-F70, SL-F150
or SL-F250, control cable SL-C2000F and multi-core cable SL-L2000F.
Notes: 2) In case the output circuit of the PLC output module contains capacitive components for improving the noise characteristics, since it is possible that the
multi-core cable PLC output units SL-P, SL-PP may not be able to receive the signal correctly, please use output modules which have an output circuit
capacitance of 0.01 !F or less.
Notes: 3) Since the multi-core cable PLC output units SL-P, SL-PP are high input impedance, time division input type devices, please use PLC output modules
whose output circuit can operate at a load current of even 0.1 mA.
