Slave module alarm signal Slave module alarm signal (RX(n+1)0) turns on when a status error occurs in the slave module or an error occurs in the address setting of the slave module. (The status error includes an I/O disconnection and short circuit.) ■Turning off Slave module alarm signal To turn off Slave module alarm signal (RX(n+1)0), after eliminating the status error in the slave module or setting the address of the slave module again, perform either of the following operations.

Remote READY The value for Remote READY (RX(n+1)B, RX(n+3)B, RX(n+5)B, RX(n+7)B, RX(n+D)B) is determined by the number of occupied stations of CC-Link that corresponds to the CC-Link operation mode. (Page 50 Error Reset) Remote READY (RX(n+1)B, RX(n+3)B, RX(n+5)B, RX(n+7)B, RX(n+D)B) turns on when the bridge module is powered on and the test mode is finished.
Remote output signals Automatic address detection command Automatic address detection command (RYn1) is turned on and off to perform the automatic address detection function. Parameter access request command for the slave module Parameter access request command for the slave module (RY(n+1)0) is turned on to read or write parameters to the slave module from the bridge module.
Appendix 2 G(P).RDMSG instruction Use this instruction when executing slave module parameter access.

Precautions The G(P).RDMSG instruction can be simultaneously executed to two or more remote device stations (up to four stations). Note that the multiple instructions including other dedicated instructions cannot be executed to a single remote device station. Create a program that starts the new instruction after the completion device (D2) turns on. Operation Error When an operation error occurs, an error code is stored in (S1)+0.
Appendix 3 Checking Serial Number and Function Version The serial number and function version of the bridge module can be checked on the rated plate. The rated plate is located on the right side of the bridge module. Function version Serial number Relevant regulation standards...
Sales representative in EU member states The authorized representative in EU member states will be: Company name: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC EUROPE B.V. Address: Mitsubishi-Electric-Platz 1, 40882 Ratingen, Germany Measures to comply with the EMC Directive The EMC Directive sets two requirements for compliance: emission (conducted and radiated electromagnetic energy emitted by a product) and immunity (the ability of a product to not be influenced by externally generated electromagnetic energy).

Cables ■CC-Link dedicated cable Use the AD75CK cable clamp (Mitsubishi) to shield the cable connected to the CC-Link module located close to the exit of the control panel or each CC-Link station, and ground the shielded part of the CC-Link dedicated cable to the control panel within 30cm from the module or station.
Installation environment Use the module under the installation environment of Zone B *1 Zone defines categories according to industrial environment, specified in the EMC and Low Voltage Directives, EN61131-2. Zone C: Factory mains (isolated from public mains by dedicated transformer) Zone B: Dedicated power distribution, secondary surge protection (rated voltage: 300V or less) Zone A: Local power distribution, protected from dedicated power distribution by AC/DC converter and insulation transformer (rated voltage: 120V or less)
Appendix 5 Functions Added and Modified with Version Upgrade The bridge module has some new functions added and specifications modified as a result of a version upgrade. Available functions and specifications vary depending on the function version and the serial number. Added function Function Serial number...
