1-1 Features
• The CQM1-B7A@@ Interface Unit incorporates the B7A transmission
operations for the CQM1H/CQM1 I/O Unit.
• The following five models of CQM1H/CQM1 B7A Interface Unit are avail-
able.
• Each Unit can be connected to the same number of points on 16-point
B7A Link Terminals as provided by the Unit. For example, two B7A Link
Terminal Units with 16 input points each can be connected to a CQM1-
B7A13.
• The transmission delay time can be switched between STANDARD (19.2
ms rated) or RAPID (3 ms rated).
• The data processing when a transmission error occurs can be switched
between HOLD (see note 1) and LOAD OFF (see note 2).
• The CPU treats the B7A Interface Units as the equivalent number of
points. It can handle remote I/O equipment, such as switches and lamps,
without recognizing communications.
Note 1. HOLD: When an error occurs, the input bit status immediately prior to the
error is held.
2. LOAD OFF: When an error occurs, all input bits turn off.
The B7A Link Terminal is a terminal board that incorporates a communication
function, connects to external I/O devices, and communicates with a PC over
a single cable, thus reducing wiring effort.
Differences Between
CQM1-B7A01 and
CQM1-B7A21
