Profile for SC-GU3-01
Features
To minimize life cycle cost
The continuously shortened life cycle of equipment has highlighted the importance of reduced costs during manufacturing and initial installation. Panasonic Industry offers a line of devices, the SC-GU3 series communication units for open network, that maximize the capabilities of open networks, streamline regular maintenance and preventive maintenance, and reduce wiring and installation work. We offer solutions that minimize costs during the life cycle of equipment.
Traceability
It is useful to keep track of the sensor configurations at equipment start-up so that failures can be quickly identified and the user alerted.
(Note) : Maximum of 12 units in case of including the FX-500 / LS-500 series.
Remote monitoring of equipment
Since the sensor settings can be checked over the network, it is possible to minimize the man-hours spent by field workers to resolve failures of equipment or line.
Streamline maintenance work
By saving the default settings as "Configuration file" when equipment was shipped out, sensor replacement can be smoothly performed by downloading via an open network. Replacement work is also easy, for sensor is equipped with connector that require no tools.
Preventive maintenance
Observe digital data such as incident light intensity or pressure value of sensors and graph them for preventive maintenance.
Example : Decrease in incident light intensity due to dirt on fiber sensor.
Easy maintenance with the memory function
Store Settings of the connected digital sensors into the SC-GU3 series. Just press the “Setting extension (EXT.)” key and setting data can be transmitted and restored to original status. Maintenance such as sensor replacement can be performed smoothly. Also, the settings stored in the SC-GU3 series is checked against the settings of the digital sensors when the power is turned on. When the setting is different, memory function indicator (MEM.) will flash, and warning signal sent, preventing the equipment from operating with settings changed.
Reduction in wiring, construction, and space
Installation space for slave devices is eliminated. Cascade connection is simply done with connectors so that the time taken for wiring and construction can be reduced.
Space saving with open unit setting
Open unit (sensor) setting is achieved when performing the process for every 1 byte (sensor input for 8 units) in order to make the data control clear, or planning to add sensors later. In addition, the SC-GU3 series minimizes installation space by reducing space required for all I/O units.
Example: In case of dividing 16 units into every 8 units and create open unit for 3 units each.
Make use of spare channels
Standard, general-purpose sensors can also be connected in cascade to the SC-GU3 series with connector input units of SC-A01, SC-A02, SC-E1, SC-E81 and SC-E82. Further wire-saving can be achieved.
(Note) Analog output type devices can be connected to the SC-A01 and SC-A02 (1 to 5 V / 4 to 20 mA)

Sensors can be replaced easily without detaching neighboring sensor amplifiers
Sensors are detachable simply by pushing down the lever of cascading connector unit and sliding the sensor amplifier sideways. This improves maintenance.
No tools needed
Sensor amplifier is equipped with one-touch connector, eliminating the need for tools.
Optical communications for simple installation
the need for tools. Optical communications are used to send and receive data from the end units instead of a link cable. This facilitates easy installation and maintenance.
Parallel output connector
A parallel output connector allows the output signal from each sensor unit to be captured in real time.
Cable orientation on the left side
All cable connections have been placed on the left side of the communication unit in order to make the most effective use of installation space.
Support for Mitsubishi Electric’s iQ Sensor Solution SC-GU3-01
The SC-GU3-01 Communication Unit for CC-Link is compatible with Mitsubishi Electric’s iQ Sensor Solution (iQSS) and can be used in combination with products that support iQSS, for example Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC series.
Mitsubishi Electric’s iQ Works utility can be used to control digital sensors connected to the SC-GU3-01.
The following functionality is supported by using iQ Works to load CSP+ data.
(Note) CSP+: CC-Link family system profile
(1)CC-Link configuration information can be used to easily check the configuration of devices connected to the SC-GU3-01. (sensor types [fiber, pressure etc.], cascading configuration, number of units)
(2)A list of sensor-specific parameter data (write / read) can be acquired and changed.
(3)SC-GU3-01 device allocations can be displayed by loading CSP+ data.
(Note)This approach dramatically reduces the need to consult the SC-GU3-01 specifications and manual.
(Note)Capabilities include easy setup, sensor monitor, parameter read / write, and backup / restore.
Requires Mitsubishi Electric’s GX Works 2 sequencer engineering software Ver. 1.492 or later.

Software
- SC-PC1
- Sample program for the SC-GU3-01 Communication Unit for CC-Link
- Sample program for the SC-GU3-02 Communication Unit for DeviceNet
Computer software for SC-GU3-01 with support for Mitsubishi Electric’s EZSocket SC-PC1
The SC-PC1 computer-based configuration application software supports ladderless manipulation of information (including sensor information) for SC-GU3-01 units connected to CC-Link via the MELSEC series.
(Note) Operations performed with the SC-PC1 application cause communication commands to be sent and received.
List of connected devices
A list of slave devices can be acquired.
(Note) The number of stations made by other manufacturers is also displayed.
List of information about connected sensors
You can browse basic information for sensors connected to the SC-GU3-01. Settings can be changed.
Two types of graph
Browse change data for individual devices with the bar graph display or history and trend data with the log graph display.
A traceability solution for sensor settings
The SC-PC1 application can load sensor setting data.
(Note) Loaded values can be saved as a CSV file.
Additionally, connected sensors can be checked against settings in the application.
This capability is useful when you wish to save settings at the time a device is shipped or check sensor settings as part of the troubleshooting process.
Easy configuration of all connected sensors SC-GU3-01 / SC-GU3-02 / SC-GU3-03 / SC-GU3-04
Not only monitoring current values such as "incident light intensity" and "pressure values" of the digital sensor but also writing sensor setting changes can be performed over the open network.
Program development is simplified by downloading sample programs (screens and ladders) including methods for checking basic threshold and display values as well as basic settings for sensor amplifiers. The sample program's display language can be switched between English and Japanese.
Note:Communications commands are available that enable to check current values and sensor settings also to change settings using CC-Link IE Field / CC-Link / DeviceNet.
