1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The model 61C, Analog I/O Module, is used as remote device for CC-Link.
Model number and suffix codes are designated as follows:

61C–❑❑–❑
MODEL
CAPACITY
04 : 4 positions
08 : 8 positions
16 : 16 positions
I/O TYPE
1 : Input
2 : Output
3 : Input/Output (NOT selectable with the capacity
code 04 or 08, or the power input code K)
POWER INPUT
K : 85 – 132V AC
R : 24V DC

Various inputs and outputs are available by employing Mini-M series, Pico-M series or other signal condition-
ers. The 61C input module converts analog inputs (0 – 100%) proportionally into 16-bit signed binary signals.
The one for output converts 16-bit signed binary signals proportionally into analog outputs (0 – 100%).
This instruction manual explains hardware specifications, component identification, and wiring instructions, etc.

5. CONNECTING DATA LINK WIRES

The following explanations apply to the wires connecting the 61C to the Master Unit.

5.1 TWISTED-PAIR CABLE

The following types of wire are recommended for connecting the 61C to the Master Unit.
KURAMO ELECTRIC FANC-SB 0.5 mm2 × 3 or equivalent

Sheath
DA

Shielding
blue
Aluminum Tape
white yellow
DG
DB Grounding

5.2 POINTS OF CAUTION IN HANDLING WIRES

DO NOT apply extraordinary forces to the wires as explained in the following:
(1) DO NOT SQUEEZE the wires with a sharp-edged tool.
(2) DO NOT TWIST the wires extraordinarily.
(3) DO NOT PULL the wires extraordinarily tight.
(4) DO NOT TRAMPLE on the wires.
(5) DO NOT PUT objects onto the wires.
(6) DO NOT DAMAGE the insulation tube of wires.

6. POINTS OF CAUTION IN CONNECTING WIRES

Appropriate precautions are required such as follows for protecting the system from external noise interference:
(1) Separate analog I/O and communication wires from others in order to prevent surge or induction noises.
(2) Separate power input wires (AC) from those for driving motors.
(3) Do not install these wires next to main supply circuits or high voltage cables.
Never bind them to these circuits.
(4) Ground the shield of communication wires at one point.
Consideration about locations of the ground may be necessary according to external noise interference.

EM-6627 Rev.6 P. 6
 61C

7. I/O SIGNALS
7.1 REMOTE I/O
The 61C occupies from 1 up to 4 nodes according to the number of I/O channels. Regardless of the number of
nodes, 32 bits are assigned to each of input and output for sending to/receiving from the Master Unit. One (1) bit
among RXxB* is used as remote device (61C) READY signal, turned ON when the 61C is in normal operation.
*x = (Station No. × 2 – 1) H
[example] Station No. = 9
9 × 2 – 1 = 17 → 11H
READY signal is input at RX11B.

7.2 ASSIGNING REMOTE REGISTERS

(1) 61C-❑1, 61C-163
The 61C-❑1 does not use the remote registers for the direction from the Master to Remote (WRwn to RWwn+15).
The table below shows the data assignment of those for the direction from the Remote to Master.

(3) OUTPUT IN AN ABNORMALITY

When an abnormality such like CPU error, STOP, time-out occurs at the PLC, the output signal of the 61C is
maintained as HOLD (no clearing output signal, keeping the value just before the abnormality).
When the PLC recovers to normal operation and the 61C receives new data, the output restarts changing.
