1 OVERVIEW MELSEC 1 OVERVIEW This manual explains the specifications for, and how to handle and monitor the Type A80BDE-J61BT13 CC-Link System local interface board (hereinafter abbreviated as CC-Link board) that is included in the CC-Link system, and loaded as an optional board in the PCI bus of an IBM PC/AT compatible PC. The A80BDE-J61BT13 is applicable to the following CC-Link system. • Applicable to the CC-Link system local station(s). 1.1 Features The I/F board has the features described below.
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC 1.2 Combinations of Boards with Existing Software 1 This section describes the combinations of boards with existing software. (1) When using the CC-Link board and other interface boards in the same PC Board model name Q80BD-J71LP21-25 Q80BD-J71LP21G Q80BD-J71LP21GE Q80BD-J71BR11 Supported OS Software package name DOS NT 3.51 Win 95 Win 98 Win Me NT 4.

2 EMC COMMAND MELSEC 2 EMC COMMAND 2.1 Requirements for EMC Command Compliance EMC commands, which are among the European command sets, are now enforced. The EMC commands regulate "emission (electromagnetic interference)," which requires that a device not emit strong electromagnetic waves externally, and "immunity (electromagnetic sensitivity)," which requires that a device have the ability to resist external electromagnetic waves.
2 EMC COMMAND MELSEC 2.1.2 Installation on the control panel Installing devices on the control panel has a considerable effect not only in securing safety but also in shutting down the noise generated from the PC by the control panel. (1) Control panel (a) Use an electrically conductive control panel. (b) When fastening tightening the control panel's top or bottom panel with bolts, mask the coating so that surface contact is feasible.
2 EMC COMMAND MELSEC 2.1.3 Cable Because the cable that runs from the control panel contains high frequency noise, outside the control panel it acts as an antenna and radiates noise. Always use shielded cable for cable that runs outside the control panel. Except for certain models, using the ferrite core is not mandatory. However, the noise radiated via cable can be suppressed more effectively by mounting a ferrite core. Using a shielded cable is also effective in raising noise resistance.
2 EMC COMMAND MELSEC (2) Grounding treatment for the CC-Link dedicated cable (a) Always ground the twisted cable connected to the CC-Link master station, local station and remote station. Since the twisted cable is a shielded cable, remove part of the outer sheath. Then ground the exposed part of the shield indicated in the figure below as wide a surface area as possible. Control panel All of this area should be grounded. Always use the cable specified for this cable.
2 EMC COMMAND MELSEC 2.1.4 Noise filter (power supply line filter) A noise filter is a part that has a considerable effect in preventing conductive noise. Except for a few models, installation of a noise filter to the power supply line is not mandatory. However, the installation of a noise filter can suppress noise at a higher rate (a noise filter is effective for reducing noise emitted in the range below 10MHz). Use a noise filter equivalent to the models shown below.
3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MELSEC 3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The configuration for a system using the CC-Link board is explained below. 3.1 System Configuration for A80BDE-J61BT13 The following indicates the system configuration when an CC-Link board is used.
