Connection to PLCs
V-MDD (Dual Port Interface)
V-MDD is the add-on connector with two ports, specifically designed for the connector on
MITSUBISHI’s A series, QnA series or FX series CPU programmer.
• The power to the V-MDD is supplied from the CPU. Check the electric capacity of 5 V
at the CPU. (Current consumption: max. 350 mA)
• Keep the cable between the CPU and V-MDD as short as possible. (Max. 1 to 1.5 m)
• Be sure to consider noise problems when performing wiring.
• When V-MDD is used for connection with the V7 series, set 1.5 seconds or above for
the timeout time in the [Comm. Parameter] dialog.
• Please read the instruction manual for V-MDD before use.
