Mitsubishi PLC CC-Link Repeater AJ65SBT-RPT
The Mitsubishi PLC CC-Link Repeater (T-BRANCH) AJ65SBT-RPT is an advanced communication device designed to extend and improve the performance of Mitsubishi’s CC-Link network systems. By acting as a bridge between multiple network segments, the AJ65SBT-RPT enables seamless and high-speed data transfer across a large automation system, making it essential for complex industrial applications that require expansive communication networks.
Key Features and Specifications:
-
Data Transmission Speeds:
- The AJ65SBT-RPT supports a wide range of transmission speeds: 156kbps, 625kbps, 2.5Mbps, 5Mbps, and 10Mbps. This flexibility allows the repeater to be optimized for both high-speed data transfer over short distances and stable communication over long distances where slower speeds may be needed.
-
Segment and Device Connectivity:
- The device can connect up to 10 network segments independently, allowing for a large network spread across multiple locations or facilities.
- When used in combination with other modules like the AJ65SBT-RPS and AJ65FBTA-RPH, the system can support even more segments, creating a vast network with multiple connected devices.
- It can handle up to 64 connected devices, making it suitable for large-scale automation systems that require extensive communication capabilities.
-
Power Supply:
- The repeater operates on a DC20.4V to DC26.4V power supply, consuming 60mA (at DC24V). This makes it compatible with a wide range of industrial power systems.
-
Transmission Distance:
- The maximum transmission distance between segments depends on the selected transmission speed. The AJ65SBT-RPT ensures reliable communication even over extended distances in large factories or facilities.
-
Durability and Protection:
- The repeater features robust electrical insulation, capable of withstanding AC500V voltage for 1 minute and offers an insulation resistance of 10MΩ or more (measured with DC500V). These features protect the system from electrical surges, ensuring stable operation in industrial environments.
-
Compact and Efficient Design:
- The AJ65SBT-RPT is compact, with dimensions of 50mm (H) x 87.3mm (W) x 40mm (D) and weighs just 0.2kg. This space-saving design allows easy integration into control cabinets or tight industrial spaces.
- It uses 7-point 2-layer screw terminal blocks for secure and simple wiring, contributing to reduced installation time.
-
Connection Flexibility:
- The repeater supports a wide array of connection options and is designed to work with other CC-Link components like AJ65SBT-RPS and other compatible modules for maximum scalability.
Applications:
- The AJ65SBT-RPT is ideal for use in industries with complex, large-scale automation systems, such as manufacturing plants, robotics, and process control applications, where multiple devices and segments need to be connected over extended distances without compromising performance.
Conclusion:
The Mitsubishi PLC CC-Link Repeater (T-BRANCH) AJ65SBT-RPT offers exceptional versatility, durability, and scalability. It is the perfect solution for companies looking to expand their CC-Link networks, offering enhanced connectivity, increased device management, and stable communication across extensive automation systems.
