S-LINK transmits 128 points on two signal lines,
and “T”-branch multi-drop system enabling flexible cable layout
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.
S-LINK
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.

Sensor & Wire-saving Link System
S-LINK
High noise immunity
Specifies malfunctioning S-LINK I/O devices
Large voltage amplitude (24 V) and wide pulse width (35
µs) signal transmissions make for units less prone to
impulse noise effects with no code errors.
This high level of noise proofing enables 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 S-LINK I/O unit is
specified and displayed allowing equipment recovery
time to be greatly reduced.

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.

Total cost reductions and great savings in setup time
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.

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.

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 long-distance distribution lines
and be reliable, then they are useless. On this
point, the S-LINK system offers a total wiring
length of 400 m 1312 ft, 800 m 2625 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 wire-saving 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.

The S-LINK system is very suitable to wire up car detection
sensors in a large parking garage.
It reduces wires and installation time.
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, and clearing up all the
bulky wiring inside the display panels themselves and realizing
great material cost savings as well as a reduced workload.

The wire-saving system is being greatly emphasized even for
assembly lines crowded with multiple I/O devices.
Also, to enhance productivity, 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.
Also, the controller displays disconnected unit address. Further,
when excess current flows or short-circuit occurs in the signal
transmission lines, the signal transmission is stopped to protect
the system.
S-LINK is a wire-saving system optimal for the automatic
assembly machinery.
Handler
The wiring of I/O devices mounted on a rotating board
(turntable) used to be quite a difficult task. Because a slip ring
with the same number of terminals as wires had to be used.
Therefore, there have been difficulties such as employing a
large slip ring or reduction of I/O point count.
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.

“The handler” as the IC test equipment uses multiple sensors.
Cost reduction or downsizing depends on how to reduce these
wires and to save space.
S-LINK realizes wire-saving and space-saving; hence these
problems are solved all at once.
Many small picking sensors are employed in the parts picking
system in order to verify the correct selection of components.
The number of input points is required as much as the number
of shelves, the number of output points is also required to be
the same in adopting the operational indicators.
S-LINK system greatly contributes to wire-saving both in I/O
points and in space. Also, extra shelves can be added easily.

SL-BS1A
It can extend the signal transmission distance by 200 m 656.168 ft.
A maximum of seven boosters can be connected for one S-LINK control unit.
However, one booster can never be followed by another booster in series.
SL-HM1
It can be connected at any place on the signal transmission line and the I/O states can be
checked in batches of 16.
The handy monitor is also incorporated with the S-LINK control functions, so that, for
example, it can perform an I/O check on conveyor system segments, still under assembly,
even without the S-LINK controller.
