The C20P, C28P, C40P, and C60P Expansion I/O Units all have CPU left/right selector switches. The C16P and C4K do not. For those models whichhave the switch, care must be taken to set it so that it corresponds with thedirection of the I/O Connecting Cable. If the switch is set in the wrong direc-tion, the System will operate as if the I/O Unit were not there. Set the switchso that the CPU connector side (Left or Right) is “in,” as shown in the follow-ing diagram. Do not change the switch setting after power has been turnedON, as this will cause the I/O bus to malfunction.

All Units can be positioned horizontally.

Install and connect the ExpansionI/O Unit and the CPU horizontally;otherwise the Analog Timer Unitcannot be connected to the CPU.
Internal variable resistors
These variable resistors are used to set the timersand, from left to right, correspond to T0 to T3. Thesettings of these resistors are effective only when thecorresponding IN/EXT selector is set to IN. To set oradjust the time, use the screwdriver supplied with theAnalog Timer Unit. Turn the variable resistor shaftsclockwise to increase the time value.

I/O Connecting CableC4K-CN502

IN/EXT selectors
When using the internal variableresistor, set the corresponding pin toIN; when using an external variableresistor, set the corresponding pin toEXT. These selectors correspond toT0 to T3 from left to right.
This connector is not used. Do not remove the cover.
External variable resistor connectors
When using external variable resistors to set the timers, connect theresistors to these connectors. The corresponding IN/EXT selectormust be set to the EXT position. These connectors correspond toT0 to T3 from left to right. Use 20 kW external variable resistors. AConnecting Cable with a 2-m lead is available for a variable resistor(C4K-CN223).

1-1-4I/O Link Units
The I/O Link Unit must be used as a Remote I/O Slave, and must be usedwith a Remote I/O Master. Refer to the Remote I/O Unit Operation Guide fordetails.
Operation output terminalIndicates that the power is ONand that the CPU is in RUN orMONITOR mode with no errors.
Repeater Output Terminal
Sends repeater signals to a LinkAdapter. The repeater output is ONwhen power is ON in the CPU andI/O Link Unit. (See the Link AdapterManual for details.)

1-2System Configuration
Depending on your control requirements, you can combine various Units fora total number of I/O points ranging anywhere from 20 to 148.
A P-type PC consists of a CPU Unit plus one or more of the following Units:Expansion I/O Units, Analog Timer Units, Analog I/O Units, or an I/O LinkUnit. All of these Units are connected in series with the CPU Unit at one end.An I/O Link Unit, if included, must be on the other end (meaning only one I/OLink Unit can be used) and an Analog Timer Unit cannot be used with. Therest of the Units can be in any order desired. The Units from which P-typePCs can be built are shown below.

When determining which configuration to use, another factor to consider isthe ease with which I/O points can be assigned. In order to make the processas simple as possible, it is recommended that a CPU be used which has
more I/O points than the largest Expansion I/O Unit. For example, rather thancombining a C20P CPU with a C20P Expansion I/O Unit, it would be prefer-able to use a C40P CPU. Similarly, combining a C60P CPU with a C40 Ex-pansion I/O Unit would be better than using a C40P CPU and a C60P Expan-sion I/O Unit.
The tables on the following pages show the possible configurations for aP-type PC. Although the tables branch to show the various possibilities atany one point, there can be no branching in the actual PC connections. Youcan choose either branch at any point and go as far as required, i.e., you canbreak off at any point to create a smaller PC System.When implementing asystem there is a physical restriction on the total cable length allowable. Thesum of the lengths of all cables in the system must be limited to less than 1.2meters.
The tables also show I/O word allocations for the Units in the systems andwhich words will be input words and which words will be output words. All ofthese are determined by the position of the Unit in the configuration exceptfor the C4P and C16P Expansion I/O Units, in which case the model of theUnit determines whether the words are input or output.
