Safety Instructions
Please read this manual and the related documentation thoroughly
and familiarize yourself with product information, safety instructions
and other directions before installing, operating, performing
inspection and preventive maintenance. Make sure to follow the
directions correctly to ensure normal operation of the product and
your safety.
WARNING
• If this product is used in a situation that may cause
personal injury and/or significant product damage,
implement safe measures such as use of fault-safe
equipment.
• Do not use this product under any conditions exposed
to explosive gases. It may cause an explosion.
ATTENTION • Make sure to use an external device when configuring

the protective circuit breakers for emergencies or
interlock circuits.
• Fasten the terminal screws tightly to ensure that the
cable connection is secure. Incorrect cable connection
may cause overheating and product malfunction.
• Operate and keep the product under the allowed
conditions directed in product specifications.
Otherwise it may cause overheating and product
malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or remodel the product.
Otherwise it may cause an electric shock or
malfunction.
• Do not touch the terminals when the power is on.
Otherwise it may cause an electric shock.
5
Installation Environment
ATTENTION Do not install your unit if any of the following conditions

are present:
• Ambient temperature outside the range of 0 to 55 °C
(32 to 131 °F).
• Direct sunlight.
• Humidity outside the range of 30% to 85%
(Non-condensing).
• Chemicals that may affect electronic parts.
• Excessive or conductive dust, or salinity.
• High voltage, strong magnetic fields, or strong
electromagnetic influences.
• Direct impact and excessive vibration.
ATTENTION
Installing Modules on the System
1. Wire analog I/O cables to the terminal block.
2. Turn on the power connected to the analog I/O
module.
3. Turn on the main PLC power.
ATTENTION
Removing Modules from the System
1. Turn off the main PLC power.
2. Turn off the power to the I/O modules.
3. Remove the wirings from the terminal block.
6
ATTENTION Preventing PLC System Malfunctions
• Use an isolation transformer and line filter on the
incoming power to the PLC when there is equipment
using or producing high current, high voltage, or
large magnetic fields in the vicinity.
• Use analog sensor that meets the rated specifications
for module connection. Otherwise,
it may cause operation errors.
• Separate the main PLC power line ground from all
other power grounds. Always use class 3 grounding.
• Do not exceed the current and power rating of the
external 24 VDC provided by the PLC power supply.
• Avoid system faults due to programming errors by
reading and fully understanding this system manual
and the PLC instruction set.
• Perform regular preventive maintenance on installed
systems, checking devices and wiring for potential
breakdowns and failures.
ATTENTION Installing analog module

• Avoid installing analog module next to output module
or power supply modules.
• Install analog modules as near the right edge of the
motherboard as possible.

Precautions for A/D Conversion Module Operation
What is A.GND of A/D module?
A.GND A.GND
e On an analog circuit, the digital part and external signal part are
isolated with a photocoupler, and the power supply is isolated with
a DC/DC converter.
e Usually the A.GND terminal is used to maintain a stable potential
by connecting it to a FG terminal or a high impedance condenser.
However, in many cases, noises from F.G terminal still may cause
AD module to measure wrong values. To address this problem, our
A/D module provides external FG and G.AND terminals, allowing
for a connection fitting to each application.
e In addition, our A/D module maintains high impedance at +, −
terminal and A.GND terminal.
Handling A.GND on A/D module

N Under conditions with much noise
Connect A.GND terminal to the negative potential terminal, N24, of
the sensor power.
(To prevent an incorrect measure on +, - voltage by the charged
electric voltage on A.GND terminal. The actual input voltage or
current can be incorrectly read by the charged voltage.) If you wire
the circuit as above, you can prevent charging on A.GND terminal.
N Usually, A.GND terminal is connected to - node (N24) of the sensor
power.

I/O Method for CPU Module
SW8 setting determines how the CPU module handles conversion data
from A/D module.
When SW8 is set to OFF, as many words of input contacts as the
channels are allocated and the CPU module updates these input
contacts every scan, which allows you to read conversion data of A/D
modules from these input contacts.
When SW8 is set to ON, only 1-word input contact is allocated and
conversion data are stored in shared memory. You should use the
READ instruction to read conversion data of A/D modules stored in this
shared memory. The 1-word input contact allocated is used as out-of-
range flags that indicate whether the conversion data of A/D modules
exceed the range or not.
I/O Contact Type (SW8, OFF)

Data conversion method is set to I/O contact type. (SW8 is set to OFF.)
N When an A/D module is mounted onto the first I/O slot (slot 0) and
SW8 is set to OFF (I/O contact type), 4-word (64 points) input
contacts are allocated for 4-channel A/D module and 8-word (128
points) for 8-channel A/D module.
For 8-channel A/D module (NX700: NX-AI8V, NX-AI8C) (NX70 :
NX70-AI8V, NX70-AI8C)
1. NX-series: 8 words (128 points input): WX0 (Ch0), WX1 (Ch1),
WX2 (Ch2), .........WX7 (Ch7)
2. NX-plus series: 8 words (128 points input): R0 (Ch0), R1 (Ch1),
R2 (Ch2), .......R7 (Ch7)
For 4-channel A/D module (NX70: NX70-AI4V, NX70-AI4C)
WX2 (Ch2), WX3 (Ch3)
R2 (Ch2), R3 (Ch3)
N If the data conversion method is set to I/O contact type, many input
contacts are used but you need not to use the READ (or RMRD)
instruction to read A/D conversion data because the CPU module
automatically updates them every scan. Therefore, no additional
programming is required to read A/D conversion data.
21
Shared Memory Type (SW8, ON)
Data conversion method is set to shared memory type. (SW8 is set to
ON.)
N When an A/D module is mounted onto the first I/O slot (slot 0) and
SW8 is set to ON (Shared memory type), 1-word (16 points) input
contacts are allocated regardless the number of A/D modules
mounted, and the conversion data is stored in the shared memory.
See "Shared Memory Usage for A/D Conversion Module" in Chapter 2.
You have to use the READ (or RMRD) instruction in your program to
read the conversion data stored in shared memory.
N The 16 input contacts allocated are used as out-of-range flags for
conversion data. They will be set as shown in the table below.
1. N-series: 1-word input contact (16SX, 16 points input with shared
memory)
2. N-plus series: 1-word input contact
N If data conversion method is set to shared memory type, only
16 points are allocated for A/D modules regardless of the number of
A/D modules mounted. In addition, many features designed for
shared memory are available.

of resistance between the lines.
NOTE Do not place RTD input signal wire near wires other than PLC, such as AC cables or high voltage cables.
Do not tie RTD input signal wire.
Do not use same cables for signal wire and AC wire to outside devices.
IMPORTANT • Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD): RTD utilizes the resistance

change induced by temperature change. It passes constant current
through changing resistance and measure the voltage. V = I * R
• Converter type: (24-bit Σ−∆ A/D with Digital & Analog Noise Filter)
• Sensor Excitation Current: 1 mA
• α: Temperature constant, unit = (Ω/Ω)/°C
For Pt100, resistance changes by 0.385 Ohm(Ω) per 1 °C temperature
change.
For JPt100, resistance changes by 0.3916 Ohm(Ω) per 1 °C temperature
change.
• Pt100 standards: IEC751, DIN43760, JIS1604-1989
(Most RTD sensors at present)
• JPt100 standards: JIS1604-1981, D100.

TC Conversion Module Features
24-bit Σ-∆ A/D converter enables high accuracy and fast speed. Wide
I/O range and self-calibration feature are also implemented.
1. NX700 TC module: 4 channels or 8 channels/module
NX70 TC module: 4 channel/module
2. Temperature sensor types
Available types: B, R, S, N, K, E, J, T, L, U, C, D, 10 mV....
3. Data both in Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) are usable.
You can select this with dip switch on the bottom plane of the
module.
5. Temperature compensation feature of TC module
When using Thermocouple with the module, temperature
compensation is needed because of the difference between actually
measured temperature and module temperature. To handle this
problem, the built-in temperature sensor provides temperature
compensation feature.
