PLC Connections

If you are using the optional PLC for I/O, you must first connect the PLC to the RS-232
connector on the SQC-222. The single RS-232 connector of the SQC-222 supports two
serial connections – one for the PLC, the other for computer communications. Sigma
cable PN 505-053 is a “Y” cable for connecting both. The pinout is shown below.

AUTION

: Both the SQC-222 and the Omron PLC use a special RS-232 pinout. Do not

use a standard serial cable. Damage to the SQC-222 or the PLC could result.

Mount the PLC controller near the devices it is controlling and sensing. Connect the
PLC to a properly grounded power source. See the PLC User Manual on the Sigma
CD-ROM for detailed PLC mounting and connection information. Connect the serial
cable from the PLC serial port to the SQC-222 serial port.

Input Wiring: PLC Inputs are mapped to events in the SQC-222 System Setup, PLC
Inputs menu. SQC-222 Inputs 1 to 12 correspond to Omron Inputs 0.0 to 0.11.
Omron PLC input wiring is shown below.
