Connecting UC2 to CDA units (connecting to CD22
and TD1 units)
To connect the UC2 to CD22 series laser displacement sensors and to TD1 series through-
beam edge sensors, connect through CDA series displacement sensor amplifier units.

CAUTION
●
The CDA series power supply must be connected to a power supply that is separate from that for the
UC2 and is the same as that for the IO-Link master unit.
●
Power is supplied to the CD22 series and to the TD1 series from the CDA series. The UC2 can be
inter-connected to CDA series main units and expansion units.
●
When inter-connecting the UC2 to the CDA series, be sure to inter-connect the inter-connection main
unit on the left end. If an inter-connection expansion unit is connected on the left end, the inter-connec-
tion connector will be exposed, damaging the product.
●
Up to eight CDA series units can be interconnected.
The number of output information and receiving
distance information varies depending on the setting. Refer to the index list for details.
●
Ensure that the length of the power cable to the unit and to the CDA series is 20 m or less.
●
The operating temperature of the CDA series expansion unit (CDA-S) and the load current of the control
output are restricted by the connected main unit (CDA-M, CDA-DM2) as below.

Connecting UC2 to D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series
Use the inter-connection connectors to connect the UC2 to D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series
fiber amplifiers.
Connecting power supply wires
When three or less fiber amplifiers are inter-connected to the UC2, the fiber amplifiers op-
erate with the power supplied from the inter-connection connector of the UC2. When four
or more fiber amplifiers are inter-connected to the UC2, connect the inter-connection
main unit on the left end to the same power supply as the IO-Link master unit.

also to the fiber amplifier main unit on the left end. Also, supply power to the fiber amplifier
main unit and the IO-Link master unit from the same power supply device.

●
When inter-connecting the unit to fiber amplifiers, be sure to connect an inter-connection main unit on
the left end. If an inter-connection expansion unit is connected on the left end, the inter-connection
connector will be exposed, damaging the product.
●
A total of up to 16 D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series fiber amplifiers can be inter-connected. The number of
output information and receiving light level information varies depending on the setting. Refer to the
index list for details.
●
Ensure that the length of the power cable to the unit and to the fiber amplifiers is 20 m or less.
●
When using a cable type fiber amplifier, perform insulation processing to prevent the power supply
wires (brown/blue) from short-circuiting. Short-circuits may lead to device damage. Furthermore, in
the case of connector type units, connect the included black cap to the M8 connector when the con-
nector cable is not connected to prevent the pins from short-circuiting.
●
The operating temperature and the load current of control output are restricted by the number of con-
nected units as below.

When inter-connecting the UC2 to CDA displacement sensor amplifier units and D3RF/
D3WF/D4RF series fiber amplifiers, connect CDA, D4RF, D3WF, and D3RF in this order
from the side closer to the UC2.
(It is possible to connect D4RF, CDA, D3WF, and D3RF in that order as well.)

tion connector will be exposed, damaging the product.
●
A total of up to 16 D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series and CDA series units can be inter-connected. (One CDA
displacement sensor amplifier unit counts as two sensors.)
The number of output information and distance/receiving light level information varies depending on
the setting. Refer to the index list for details.(D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series is the receiving light level infor-
mation and CDA series is distance information.)
●
Ensure that the length of the power cable to the unit and to the CDA series is 20 m or less.
●
When using a cable type D3RF/D3WF/D4RF series unit, perform insulation processing to prevent the
power supply wires (brown/blue) from short-circuiting. Short-circuits may lead to device damage. Fur-
thermore, in the case of connector type units, connect the included black cap to the M8 connector
when the connector cable is not connected to prevent the pins from short-circuiting.
