The Sharp Z-337J/338J DeviceNet Master Board is an open-network master board for Sharp programmable controller Z300/500 series, enabling distributed control via DeviceNet. It supports up to 63 slave devices (maximum 4096 I/O points) and includes Polling I/O and Explicit Message functions. The Z-338J model additionally provides 16 DC24V inputs and 16 NPN transistor outputs.
The manual details safety precautions, system configuration, part names and switch settings, assembly and installation, wiring methods, I/O relay allocation, polling I/O and explicit message functions, communication timing, troubleshooting with error codes and diagnostic data, and specifications. The scan list editing function allows I/O allocation settings using only the board switches without a PC configurator. This manual is written in Japanese.
