3-5 B7A Interface Ports
The B7A is a 1:1 transmission path that does not require a master. A total of 16 signals are transmitted
using a two-conductor or three-conductor VCTF cable (maximum length: 500 m). The CJ1W-B7A
B7A Interface Unit is a CJ-series Basic I/O Unit that exchanges up to 64 points of I/O data mainly with
B7A Link Terminals using a B7A transmission path.
The B7A Interface Unit and B7A Link Terminal can be used in the same way as a standard Basic I/O
Unit and I/O Terminal without any need to worry about communications. This characteristic reduces the
wiring when using more than one relatively remote sensor or actuator.
* A 10-point B7A Link Terminal cannot be connected to a B7A Interface Unit. B7A Interface Units can be connected together.
Wireless transmissions are possible if B7AP Power Couplers are used on a B7A transmission
path, reducing the wiring required for moving objects and rotating objects.
