Caution with respect to Export Trade Control Ordinance
To avoid this instrument from being used as a component in, or as being utilized in the manufacture of
weapons of mass destruction (i.e. military applications, military equipment, etc.), please investigate theend users and the final use of this instrument.
In the case of resale, ensure that this instrument is not illegally exported.

1. Installation Precautions
CautionThis unit is intended to be used under the following environmental conditions (IEC61010-1):
Overvoltage category , Pollution degree 2
Ensure the mounting location corresponds to the following conditions:• A minimum of dust, and an absence of corrosive gases• No flammable, explosive gases• No mechanical vibrations or shocks• No exposure to direct sunlight, an ambient temperature of 0 to 50 (32 to 122 ) that does not change
rapidly, and no icing• An ambient non-condensing humidity of 35 to 85%RH• No large capacity electromagnetic switches or cables through which large current flows• No water, oil or chemicals or where the vapors of these substances can come into direct contact
with the unit
• When this unit is installed inside a control panel, the ambient temperature of the unit - not the ambient
temperature of the control panel - must be kept to under 50 . Otherwise the life of electronic parts(especially electrolytic capacitors) of the unit will be shortened.
Note: Avoid setting this unit directly on or near flammable material even though the case of this unit
is made of flame-resistant resin.

2. Wiring Precautions
Caution• Do not leave wire remnants in the unit as they may cause a fire or a malfunction.
• Insert the connecting cable into the designated connector securely to prevent malfunction.
• Connect the wire for the AC power source to its designated terminals as described in this instruction
manual. The IFP-100 will be damaged if the AC power source wire is connected to incorrect terminals.
• When wiring terminals of the IFP-100 at the terminal block, use correct ferrules with an insulation sleeve
fitting for the terminal screw.
• Tighten the terminal screw using the specified torque. If excessive force is applied to the screw whentightening, the screw or case may be damaged.
• For a 24V AC/DC power source, do not confuse polarity when using direct current (DC).
• This unit does not have a built-in power switch, circuit breaker or fuse. Therefore, it is necessary to installthem near the instrument.
(Recommended fuse: Time-lag fuse, rated voltage 250V AC, rated current 2A)

3. Operation and Maintenance Precautions
Warning• Do not touch live terminals. This may cause an electric shock or problems in operation.
• Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before retightening the terminal or cleaning.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched ON may result in severe injury or death
due to Electric Shock.
• Use a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the unit.
(Alcohol based substances may tarnish or deface the unit.)• As the display section is vulnerable, do not strike or scratch it with a hard object or put pressure on it.

Warning
Turn the power supply to the instrument OFF before wiring or checking.
Working on or touching the terminal with the power switched on may result in severe
injury or death due to Electric Shock.

NoticeBe sure to set a PROFIBUS address of IFP-100 before the power supply to the unit is turned ON.
Set up the Rotary switches.
Using a small flat bladed screwdriver, set a PROFIBUS address of IFP-100.
Setting range: 0 to 99
A maximum of 127 units are connectable for PROFIBUS, however,up to 99 can be set for the IFP-100 address.

(Fig. 6-1)

7. Data Configuration
When using the IFP-100 as a PROFIBUS-DP slave, register the parameters to the master unit
by using the GSD file in which the functions, data format, etc. are defined.
7.1 Data Type
Fixed length code: 1 or 20-item of data length can be set.
For the FC series, etc., set 1-data length.
For the C series, set 20-data length.
When the FC series, etc. and C series are used together, set 20-data length.
7.2 Data Structure
Data type: Fixed length code
There are 2 buffers:• Output buffer: Outputs the data from the PROFIBUS master unit to the IFP-100.
• Input buffer: Inputs the data from the IFP-100 to the PROFIBUS master unit.
When configuring the output buffer and input buffer using the Hardware configuration, configure
the output buffer first. If the input buffer is configured first, the PROFIBUS communication cannot
be performed, and the BF indicator lights up.
Data structure of Fixed length code (Output buffer, Input buffer) is shown on the next page.
