5-1 Expansion Units
The AFC3000 has two expansion units that are attached to the MASTER of any system configuration.
Expansion Unit 1 mounts to the upper location on the left side of the Master spindle. It is dedicated for I/O
expansion. Available units are an expanded discrete I/O unit and multiple fieldbus interfaces.
Expansion Unit 2 offers expanded fastening data memory (on a Compact Flash CF Card) and two
additional RS232C serial Ports. One dedicated for I.D. data input for Part ID / data marriage.
5-2 List of External Control Interfaces
1. Expansion I/O – 24VDC Discrete (Input: 32ch/Output: 32Ch)
2. CC-Link Ver 2.00 (Ver 1.0)
3. DeviceNet
4. PROFIBUS DP-V1

･ If an external control interface other than the expansion I/O is to be used, the
“Fieldbus Setting” must be set to the MASTER Spindle from the AFC3000 User
Console software and then the controller(s) must be rebooted.
Fieldbus interfaces have their own
manuals. Please see individual
AFC3000 Fieldbus manuals for the
desired fieldbus.
