The communication speed refers to the volume of data communicated per second and is described in bps or bits per second. 1 kbps means that 1,000 bits per second can be transmitted and 1 Mbps means 1,000,000 bits per second. For example, assuming that 100 bits is transmitted at 1 kbs, its transmission time will be 0.1 seconds. Features of Protocol and its Overview If transmitted at 1 Mbps, it is possible to transfer in 0.0001 seconds.

Glossary of terms Serial transmission system and SI unit PLC PLC A serial transmission system can control multiple solenoid valves Manifold by using only the communication line from the PLC’s communication solenoid SI manifold valves module (master module) or it can read the signal from the various solenoid valves sensors. This system can also be called a “Fieldbus system”. Serial transmission Wiring the coil of each solenoid valve, one by one, to the output unit Multiple line on the PLC is called “Parallel wiring”. Each valve in use needs to be wires connected. Therefore, wiring in accordance with the number of solenoid valves or sensors in use is required. A SI unit is a device which can control the solenoid valve through SI unit Power supply serial communication.

Glossary of terms UL/CSA standards CE marking

UL and CSA standards are applied in North America where it (U.S.A. CE marked products or equipment that are exported from Japan to and Canada) symbolizes the safety of electric products, and are countries that are EU members, must confirm to the EC directives. defined to mainly prevent danger from an electrical shock or fire, SMC products are subject to either or both the low power voltage directive resulting from defective electrical products. (regarding electrical safety) or the EMC directive (regarding solenoid The power supply of the SI unit is 24 V DC, which does not meet the conformity). voltage requirement for the electrical shock category. However, The operating voltage of the SI unit is 24 V DC, therefore it is not measures against a fire hazzard have been taken. subjected to the low voltage directive (50 to 1000 V AC or 75 to 1500 V Some SI units are UL/CSA certified. DC). The SI unit undergoes EMC testing by a third party and bears the CE marking (self-declaration). Since our product is ultimately a component which is integrated into the equipment of a user, the user must verify that the equipment or facility confirms to the EC directive.
