3.1 System Block Diagram

The diagram below shows how the AFC1500 Multi-2 Unit can be connected to a single unit or combined

in a multiple spindle configuration. The use of a Multi-2 Unit provides one set of PLC I/O for controlling

multiple spindle fastening operations. Along with discrete 24VDC (sinking or sourcing) I/O, various

fieldbus interfaces are also available for direct connection to networks such as Profibus, AB remote I/O,

CCLink, DeviceNet, etc.

The AFC1500 Multi-2 Unit also provides an interface for connection to the User Console PC, serial

printers, barcode readers, display units, etc.
