DESCRIPTIONS
■ GENERAL
The Remote I/O R3 Series consists of power supply module(s), network interface module(s), I/O module(s) and a backplane (base) in free combinations.
Basically, each module only requires DIP switch setting before it is installed.
A large variety of network and I/O modules can be selected to suit many different field applications.
• Power Supply Module
Converts AC or DC power inputs for use in the network modules and I/O modules, and for exciting discrete I/O.
• Network Module
Converts data between the open network fieldbus (Device-Net, etc.) and the internal communication bus, functioning as a Gateway between the two buses.
• Interface I/O Module
Works as a gateway to handle data on the open network fieldbus (Device-Net, etc.) with different protocol interface module.
• I/O Module
Performs: A/D conversion of field analog inputs; and D/A conversion of data received through the internal bus into analog/discrete outputs.
Single and dual communication modes are selectable.
• Base
Backplane with two independent communications buses and a power supply bus.
• Blank Filler Module
Used to install for unused slots.

■ SINGLE COMMUNICATION MODE
When the single communication mode is employed, the network module receives data from the field bus and sends it to analog/discrete output modules through the internal bus.
The output modules convert the data into analog or discrete outputs.
The input modules send out via the internal bus analog or discrete inputs to the network module. The network module outputs the data to the field bus.

■ DUAL COMMUNICATION MODE
A dual redundant communication system can be easily achieved by employing two network modules and using dual communication type I/O modules (model suffix code ‘W’).
Each I/O module is equipped with two independent communication ports, which are connected to the separate network modules. In normal conditions, output modules receive data from both network modules and output the signal from the preferred communication bus A.
When an error is detected in the fieldbus wiring, network module, or in the internal bus (comm. time error, data error, etc.), the output is switched to the data from the communication bus B. The bus A is checked and automatically back for use if it is in normal conditions.
If both are in error, the output modules hold the signal and stand by until one of the communications recovers. (The output could be turned to OFF by setting.)
Input modules continuously respond to request-to-send from the both lines. This secures two independent communications.

■ HOT SWAPPABLE I/O MODULES
Each I/O and network module has an independent CPU.  Data is renewed by serial communications between modules.  Therefore no momentary lapse or bumping of analog output occurs when switching communication buses in the dual communication mode.
Furthermore, removing or replacing modules does not adversely affect other modules on the same backplane. It is possible to replace them without removing the power supply.
However, replacing multiple modules at once may greatly change line voltage levels. We highly recommend to replace them one by one.
In order to avoid communication malfunction, mount modules as quickly and securely as possible.

RELATED PRODUCTS
• PC configurator software (model: R3CON)
Downloadable at M-System’s web site.
A dedicated cable is required to connect the module to the PC.  Please refer to the internet software download site or the users manual for the PC configurator for applicable cable types.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Connection: Refer to the specifications of each module.
Housing material: Flame-resistant resin (gray)
■ INTERNAL COMMUNICATION BUS
The read rate is of approx. 6 msec. per I/O module. Total communication cycle is multiplied by the number of I/O module.
■ DATA CONVERSION
Varies depending on the types of I/O modules. Refer to the specifications of the respective I/O modules for details.
• Percent Data
The scaled input range of 0 – 100 % is converted into hexadecimal 0000 – 2710 (0 – 10000). The operational range is from -15 to +115% of the input range. When the signal exceeds the lower or upper limit of the operational range, the data is fixed at -15% or +115%. Negative value is represented in 2’s complements. The same applies to DC voltage or current output.
Note: The signal will remain within the operational range depending on the scaled 0% and 100% input values.
• Engineering Unit Data: Temperature
Temperature input (T/C or RTD) is converted into signed binary data which equals 10 times its engineering unit value (°C). For example, 25.5°C is converted into 255. For °F temperature unit, the integer part of raw data is directly adopted. That is, 135.4°F is converted into 135. Minus temperature is converted into negative value represented in 2’s complements.
(For R3-TS8A, R3-RSxA, R3-RSxB, temperature input is converted into signed binary data which equals 100 times its engineering unit value.)
• Engineering Unit Data: Clamp-on Current Sensor (Except R3-CTxC)
AC input from a clamp-on current sensor is converted into signed binary data which equals 100 times its engineering unit value (A). For example, 10 A is converted to 1000. The operational range is from 0 to +115% of the input range. When the signal exceeds the upper limit of the operational range, the data is fixed at +115%.  No negative value is available.
Note 1: Percent data for R3-CTxC.
Note 2: The signal will not exceed +115% depending on the scaled 100% input value.
■ ZERO & SPAN SCALING
The network module inputs or outputs the internal conversion data by the preset scale.

INSTALLATION
Operating temperature: -10 to +55°C (14 to 131°F)
Operating humidity: 30 to 90 %RH (non-condensing)
Atmosphere: No corrosive gas or heavy dust
Mounting: Surface or DIN rail

CURRENT CONSUMPTION

DATA IN ABNORMALITIES
■ NETWORK MODULES
Input signal behaviour in case of input module abnormalities (when the internal transmission between the input module and network module is lost) can be defined by setting DIP switches on the network module.
• Input Hold
Last input signals are held until a normal data is received.
• Set to ‘0’
The network module holds the data at ‘0’ until a normal data is received.
■ OUTPUT MODULES
Field output behaviour in case of transmission abnormalities (when the output data is not updated within the predefined time period) can be defined by setting DIP switches on the output module.
• Output Hold
Last output signals are held until a normal data is received.
• Output OFF
Analog output modules hold the output signals at -15 %, and discrete output modules turns the output to OFF until a normal data is received.

CONFORMITY WITH CE MARKING
■ CE MARKING
CE marking requires to integrate safety regulations existed in each country in EU territory and to secure smooth distribution of products of which safety is guaranteed. It is mandatory by law that products distributed and sold in EU territory to have CE mark which shows that the product conforms with the requirements of EU Directive. Each EU Directive describes the scope of apparatuses to which that EU  Directive is applied. This product must conform with EMC Directive.
Each Directive states only basic requirements. In order to mark the CE on an assembled machinery equipment, its manufacturer needs to check the overall conformity with Directives applicable to it.
■ WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLTING
This product needs to be installed in a control panel. This is effective not only to ensure general safety but also to contain noise emissions by this product inside the control panel. We conduct a series of testing to see that the product conforms to EMC Directive while it is installed in the control panel.
Warning and cautions when installing are stated below.
• Use control panels with an internal panel plate, both made of metal, when installing.
• Make sure to adequately ground the control panel and the internal panel plate with a thick cable to maintain low impedance at high frequency.
• Use shielded cables for the signals taken out of the control panel.
• Choose a thick and short cable to ground the FG terminal of the Power Supply Module(s) and the Network Module(s) to the internal panel plate of the control panel.
Note: If electromagnetic radiation disturbance increases by grounding the FG terminal, remove the grounding.
• When painting the internal plate of the control panel, apply masking to expose metal surface to secure conductivity at the sections where the following parts are attached:
- Bolts attaching the internal panel to the control panel
- Ground for the FG of the Power Supply Module(s) and the Network Module(s)
- Earth clamp on the shielded cable
• Noise emissions inside the control panel might leak through its openings. Design them as small as possible. Recommended diameter is 10 cm or less.

Supplement:
Additional measures may be taken depending upon actual installation sites. These points of cautions are illustrated below.
• Prevent noise leakage by wrapping cables using shield covers, shield tubes and flexible conduits etc. if noise leaks through the cable outlet.
• Use an electromagnetic shield gasket and block up the gap between the control panel cabinet and its cover, if noise leaks through it.
• Connecting the internal panel plate and the cover of the control panel to the main cabinet using an earth strap may be effective to strengthen the grounding.
• Electromagnetically shielded control panel cabinet is effective for shielding.
