Conguration of the POKAYOKE system requires a “Master unit” and “Terminator” in addition to the POKAYOKE terminal, and an “electric wire” and “connector” connecting them, and “24V DC stabilized power source.”
Select the master unit to be used for your POKAYOKE system according to the sequencer and open network to be (schedule) used.
When the master unit has been determined, transmission protocol which you can use is also determined, then select the POKAYOKE terminal that corresponds to the protocol.
Although two types of transmission protocol are not compatible with each other, the transmission line of the Bitty series can be connected to the lower position of the transmission line of the DB A20 series via a bridge.
Narrow down the POKAYOKE terminals you want to use with reference to features of individual products such as “ indication, instruction,” “response, detection” and “how to install , ”and site environment and purpose for introduction.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the “transmission protocol” and “address setting method” at that time.
*Products of different protocols cannot be combined for use.
*Even if products of different address setting methods are combined, operation can be performed. However, mistakes may result at the time of setting work, therefore, it is not recommended.
“Number of occupied points” and “consuming current” vary with each product, which causes the number of connectable units to vary.
Sufficiently confirm the specifications referring to the catalog and Product Guide (Product instruction manual) to determine the conguration.
Al l POKAYOKE terminals are shipped with a link connector (LP connector) connected. The LP connector is a crimp type connector with no distinction between female and male, and the branch point can be provided at any location without cutting the main line.
If a “4-core flat cable” which is the same as that used for the terminal is used, wiring work can be performed easily and quickly.
The AnyWire Terminator is different from “Terminal resistor” in general, and incorporates a circuit to form a transmission waveform. Make sure to install one piece in one system at the most remote end of the branch.
DB A20 series basic transmission specifications
*Specifications of the DB A20 series when the POKAYOKE terminal is used. There are some limits relative to the specifications of the normal DB A20 series.
Branch disconnection detection, transmission line short-circuit detection
Transmission distance (total length)
Max. 200m
Transmission cable
Exclusive flat cable 0.75mm2 (D, G, 24V, 0V)
Note 1) Maximum number of transmittable points depends on the master unit. There is a limit to the range of the number of points used according to the specifications of the POKAYOKE terminal.
Note 2)There is a limit to the maximum number of connecting units according to the number of occupied points of POKAYOKE terminal used and consuming current value.
Note 3) The above described number of points is a representative example of IN, OUT total. The actual cycle time varies depending on the master unit.
Bitty series basic transmission specifications
*Specifications of the Bitty series when the POKAYOKE terminal is used. There are some limits relative to the specifications of the normal Bitty series.
Transmission line disconnected position detection, Transmission line short-circuit detection
Transmission cable
Exclusive flat cable 0.75mm2 (DP, DN, 24V, 0V)
Transmission distance (total length)
100m(Max)
Note 1) Maximum number of transmittable points depends on the master unit. There is a limit to the range of the number of points used according to the specifications of the POKAYOKE terminal.
Note 2)There is a limit to the maximum number of connecting units according to the number of occupied points of POKAYOKE terminal used and consuming current value.
