1. Installation Precautions
REQUIREMENT
Fasten the mount base to a vertical surface. Fastening the mount base to a
horizontal surface lessens the heat dissipation effects and allows the
temperature to rise, thereby rendering the module defective or incurring
component parts deteriorati on.
Before installing the module, discharge any static buildup from your body
because static electricity may render the module defective.
Properly tighten the screws. If they are inadequately tightened, malfunction,
smoke emission, or combustion may occur.
DANGER
If an emergency stop circuit, interlock circuit, or similar circuit is to be
formulated, it must be positioned external to this module. If you do not
observe this precaution, equipment damage or accident may occur when this
module becomes defective.
Ensure that the employed external power source has overvoltage and
overcurrent protection functions.
The external power source voltage may create an electric shock hazard. If
you disconnect/connect the module or cable with the power supply switched
on, you may inadvertently touch a power supply terminal and receive an
electric shock or the equipment may become damaged due to short circuit or
noise. Switch off the power supply before disconnecting/connecting the
module or cable.
CAUTION
Use the module in an environment specified in the catalog and manual.
If you use the module in an environment where the module is subjected to high
temperature, high humidity, dust, corrosive gas, vibration, or impact, a risk of
electric shock, fire, or malfunction may result .
Observe the installation procedure stated in the manual.
If the module is improperly installed, it may drop, become defective, or
malfunction.
Do not allow wire cuttings or other foreign matter to enter the module.
The entry of foreign matter in the module may result in a fire or cause the
module to become defective or malfunction.
When the module is to be positioned at a location wher e it may become wet
with water, place it within a drip-proof enclosure to prevent it from becoming
defective.
CAUTION
The module may become defective due to a high temperature, which may
result from heat dissipation failure. It may also mal functi on du e to
electromagnetic interfer ence fro m nearby equipment. For heat dissipation
and electromagnetic radiation minimization, provide the specified clearances
among the module, its enclosure, and neighboring equipment.
The degree of temperature rise varies depending on how the module is
mounted. The mounting intervals specified in the manual should be used as
a guide only. While a test run is conducted after completion of mounting,
measure the temperature near the module to check whether it is within the
specified range. If the measured temperature is beyond the specified range,
increase the mounting intervals or provide forced air cooling with a cooling fan.
Dust or other foreign matter might accumulate on the connector, resulting in
poor contact. Immediately after the module is unpacked, perform the
mounting and wiring procedures.
To prevent the module from being dam ag ed, obser v e the foll owing precautions
when you mount or demount the module:
• Before mounting the module to the mount base connector, check that the
connector pins are properly aligned and not bent, broken, or soiled with dirt
or the like.
• Ensure that the module is parallel to the mount base vertical surface as
shown below when mounting. If you connect a module to or disconnect it
from its connector while it is tilted, the connector pins may become damaged.
Mount base
[Bad example]
Module
[Good example]
PROHIBITION
Do not take the insulation sheets off the mount base. These insulation sheets
electrically insulate the modules from the mount base.
PROHIBITION
Do not disassemble or modify the module. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in a fire or cause the module to become defective or malfunction.
2. Wiring Precautions
REQUIREMENT
To provide protection against short circuit, furnish the external power source
with a fuse or circuit protector. Ensure that the employed circuit protector is
rated as specified.
Before supplying power to the equipment, thoroughly check the wiring
connections.
Surge voltage may cause malfunction or damage to this product. When you
connect coils, such as relays, to the PCsOK output circuit, be sure to add
surge-absorbing diodes or the equivalent to that circuit. The peak reverse
voltages of these diodes must be at least 10 times as high as the circuit
voltage and their forward currents must be larger than the load current.
Before making power supply wiring connections, make sure that no voltage is
applied to the power cable. Immediately after completion of power supply
wiring, be sure to install the terminal cover.
Ensure that the communication, power supply, motive power, and other cables
are routed apart from each other. It is essential that the inverter, motor,
power regulator, and other motive power cables be routed at least 300 mm
away from the other types of cables. Also, be sure that the communication
and motive power cables are routed within separate conduits.
DANGER
Electric shock hazards exist so that you might suffer burns or become
electrocuted. Further, the system might malfunction due to noise interference.
Therefore, ground the line ground (LG), frame ground (FG), and shield cable
(SHD).
REQUIREMENT
Insulate the mount base from the enclosure. To keep the mount base
insulated, avoid removing the insulation sheets that are supplied with the
mount base.
The LG is a ground terminal for power supply noise. The FG and SHD are
ground terminals for the noise in the remote I/O, communication module and
other external interface lines. To avoid interference between the ground
terminals, separately ground the LG and FG.
Connect each module's FG terminal to the FG terminal provided on the mount
base and ground those terminals properly. The FG terminals for remote I/O
lines and JPCN-1 (J.NET or IR.LINK) lines must be grounded at one place
(LPU unit) for each line -- the FG terminals of remote I/O station and JPCN-1
station (J.Station or IR.Station) modules that can be grounded at the same
place as is the LPU unit must all be grounded.
CAUTION
If the input voltage for the power supply module is within the specified range
but close to the upper or lower limit, you should conclude that an input power
problem exists, and ask the power supply facility manager to conduct an
inspection.
Be sure that the power source for supplying power to various modules is rated
as specified. The use of a differently rated power source may cause a risk of
fire.
Ensure that the same power source is used for output module external power
source (for supplying power to the +V terminal) and load power supply. The
use of different power sources may cause a risk of malfunction.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to make cable connections.
Incorrect wiring connections may cause a risk of fire, malfunction, or electric
shock.
PROHIBITION
To avoid noise-induced malfunction, do not bundle the 100 VAC/100 VDC wiring
and network cable together, but route them at least 100 mm away from each
other.
3. Operating Precautions
REQUIREMENT
Before terminating this product (by shutting down or resetting), check that all
the peripheral equipment is already stopped or will not be affected by the
termination.
Failure of an installed module may damag e the contents of memory spaces.
Be sure to make a backup copy of any important data in memory.
Overheating may cause a fire or unit failure. Where the ambient temperature
reaches 48°C or higher, lower the maximum output current that can be drawn
from the power supply module. By taking into consideration the environment
where the unit is mounted, install a cooling fan in the housing enclosure or
reduce the number of modules mounted.
DANGER
The input/output currents of I/O modules must be within their maximum
allowable current values. If an overcurrent flows in the I/O module, its
component parts may be damaged, r esulti ng i n an accident, fir e , or fail ure.
If the module emits smoke or foreign odor, immediately switch off the power
supply and investigate the problem cause.
While the power is applied, never touch a terminal strip or connector pin. If
you touch a terminal strip or connector pin while the power is applied, you may
receive an electric shock.
CAUTION
Before changing the program, generating a forced output, or performing the
RUN, STOP, or like procedure during an operation, thoroughly verify the safety
because the use of an incorrect procedure may cause equip ment d amag e or
other accident.
When you switch on the power supply, follow the specified power-on
sequence. Failure to follow the specified sequence may cause equipment
damage or other accident.
CAUTION
Do not use a transceiver, cellular phone, or similar device near the unit
because unit malfunction or system failure may occur due to noise.
The parts, which used gallium arsenic (GaAs) for a photo coupler and LED, are
included in this product. GaAs is specified as a harmful object by law. Take
special care when handling the product, in particular, scrapping it. Before
scrapping the product, ask a professional waste disposal dealer in charge of
scrapping work.
To avoid malfunction, ensure that the power supply is switched on and off at
intervals of longer than 1 second.
PROHIBITION

(3) IP address checking using a PC’s Ping function
Whether a given FL.NET module is networked properly or its IP address is set correctly can
be checked by using a special function of a Windows® machine (PC), commonly known as
Ping, rather than by using a special tool, such as the FL.NET network analyzer. The
description below gives an outline of check operations using the Ping function.
If an IP connection is used with the FL.NET module, check the connection by using the Ping
function, as follows:
① Choose [Start] – [Programs] – [Accessories] – [Command Prompt], and then the
command prompt appears on screen.
② Enter the Ping command to carry out a basic communication test between the link unit
(FL.NET) and PC. The form of the Ping command entered is either of the following:
Ping [IP address] or Ping [host name]
Example: Ping 192.168.250.13
It the FL.NET module under test is set up properly, the Ping command presents the
following message:
Pinging 192.168.250. 13 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.250. 13: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.250. 13: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32

Reply from JEMA 192.168.250. 13 : bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32
③ If the FL.NET module is not connected yet, the Ping command presents the following
message (timeout notifications):
Pinging 192.168.250. 13 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

2 TROUBLESHOOTING
FL.NET usage precautions
There are some precautions that must be observed when using the FL.NET module. These
precautions are listed below along with the restrictions in the table below. For information on
the standard related to FL.NET communication paths, refer to the FL.NET (manual number
SVE-1-101) or IEEE802.3 standard.
Do not carry data traffic from other Ethernet networks on the FL.NET communication cable.
Do not connect the FL.NET module to any router.
It will do you any good to use a switching hub for the FL.NET module.
Use of such wireless media as infrared light and radio frequency radiation may greatly
deteriorate the realtimeness of data communications.
Use of a personal computer (PC) may greatly deteriorate the realtimeness of data communica-
tions, depending on the hardware, operating system, and applications used in the PC.
Use only the predetermined IP address.
The network address used in the IP address must be consistent throughout the network (the
standard network address is “192.168.250”). The node (station) number in the IP address
must be in the following range:
Network address Node number
192.168.250.1 to 249
During initialization, the specified node number is not checked for any duplication. A
duplicated node number is detected only when communication is first made using that node
number. For this reason, special care must be taken when specifying a node number.
Grounding must be made properly. The grounding wire’s diameter must be sufficiently large.
Place the FL.NET module sufficiently away from any noise source. Never lay down AC
power cables near the FL.NET module.
In cases where cyclic data communication is used simultaneously with message data
communication, their realtimeness may decrease depending on the volume of data being
transmitted.
Cyclic data communication area in memory, called the common memory area, need not be
secured in a single continuous memory space.
If the transceiver is provided with an SQE switch, set the SQE switch properly according to the
instruction manual on that transceiver.
The entire system’s on-time data communicability is affected by the overall performance of the
networked equipment. In other words, data communication is performed at the transmission
speed of the lowest-speed device, as well as at the transmission speeds of all other higherspeed devices connected to the same network. Thus, addition of a single device to the
network may drastically deteriorate the realtimeness of the entire system, depending on the
transmission speed of the added device.
The header of messages transmitted by message data communication is represented in big-
endian format, whereas their data is represented in little-endian format. The only exception to
this is the data in profile read, which is the system parameters represented in big-endian format.
(The big-endian format here is a format in which the most significant bit [MSB] is first sent
out.)

Connecting terminating resistors
When you want to use a conforming cable, terminate it with a built-in resistor of either 100 or
150 Ω. To use these resistors, short the terminal pairs shown below. If a non-conforming
cable is selected and you want to terminate it with a termination value other than 100 and 150 Ω,
then connect an appropriate resistor between the signal input terminals (A and B in the figures
below).

Checking if extra X and Y numbers are registered
In some cases, an old I/O unit in which a station module of model PST350 or PST360 is installed
in the left-end slot is connected to the LPU module. In such a case, if the number of remote I/O
transfer points for the LPU module is set to 1024 or greater, decrease the number. To
accomplish this, choose [Utility] – [PCs edition] – [Change capacity] in the S10V LADDER
CHART SYSTEM and select a value of 512 or smaller as the “Remote I/O points.” Here, it
should be noted that old I/O units may only be connected to the RI/O1 line of the two existing
remote I/O lines on the LPU module. To avoid any trouble, use an S10/2α I/O unit instead.

If the power supply module installed as the leftmost module in the I/O unit is a model LQV000,
LQV020, or LQV100 module and its POWER indicator is not lit, then power must be supplied to
that power supply module.

Malfunction
Intermittent malfunction
If the communication signal has such problems as waveform distortion and jitters, check if:
• Terminating resistors are connected to both ends of the line.
• There is any wire breakage in the cable.
• The cable used is a recommended one (i.e., it meets the prescribed characteristic
requirements).
• The cable used is connected as part of a multidrop line, where no branch is allowed.
• Two or more different types of cables are used in the same link.
If the above troubleshooting does not solve the problem, the most conceivable cause is a
hardware failure or a malfunction due to noise. Therefore, replace the module or place the
noise source(s) away from the units, power cables, and remote I/O cables.

3.2 LPU Error Information Detail Table
If an error occurs in any of the installed LPU modules, detail error information is stored in a special
table in the LPU module’s internal RAM. By accessing this table, called the LPU error
information detail table, you can obtain more comprehensive error information than the error
information supplied by the basic tool (S10V BASE SYSTEM). This table can be accessed with
the MCS function of the basic tool.
The LPU error information detail table can contain up to eight cases of error information. If more
than eight errors occur in the LPU module, the oldest case of error information is overwritten with
the new error information. This memory content is backed up by battery power supply, so it is
retained during periods when the power to the LPU module is OFF.

Detail info word count
Detail information
Note: The day of week is represented by one of the numbers /0001 through /0007, where /0001 stands for Sunday and
/0007 for Saturday.
Validity flag: Indicates whether meaningful data is present in the error detail
info table. When this flag is set equal to /0000 0001, it
indicates that meaningful error detail data is present in the
table.
Case pointer: Points to the case in which to store error information next.
This pointer has its initial value of /0000 0000 and is
incremented each time an error occurs in the LPU module.
When its value exceeds /0000 0007, this pointer is set back to
/0000 0000. For example, if the current value of this pointer
is /0000 0002, the case in which the latest error information is
stored is case 1.
Cases 0 thru 7: Each is a set of detail error information stored in its
dedicated area.
Error code: ID code of the error detected. For information on the error
code, see Section 4.2.1, “LPU (LQP510) error log info and
required actions.”
Time of error occurrence:
The time at which the error is detected. The time value stored
in this location is based on the time maintained by the LPU
module. Therefore, if the time maintained by the LPU module
is not set correctly, the stored time value does not indicate the
actual time at which an error is detected.
Detail info word count:
The number of meaningful bytes of detail information, which is
stored in the detail info area, starting from its beginning (offset
+/0000 0014). All the other bytes in that area are meaningless
as detail information.
Detail information:
A piece of error detail information stored in its dedicated area.
The format in which it is stored varies with the types of errors
detected. For details, see the information provided under “(3)

<Aborting all the tasks>
If the entire plant equipment under control can be stopped, abort all the active tasks in your
system. When the tasks are aborted, they are automatically post-processed properly, so
that the files can be backed up safely.
If the backup process is started without aborting the tasks, the files will be backed up in a
condition in which the memory areas being accessed by the tasks are dynamically changing
in their contents. In addition to this, if the operating system is stopped by performing the
steps described below, the tasks are forcibly stopped even if they are running. In these
cases, some contents of the areas accessed by the tasks may remain undefined, and this
condition may lead to an error during backup.
(5) If the PCs is currently in RUN state, the following message is displayed:
In this dialog box, if you click the Yes button, the BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM
continues the backup process. If you click the No button, it displays the [Backup]
window again without backing up the files.
(6) The BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM displays the following message:
In this dialog box, if you click the Yes button, the BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM stops
the operating system and starts the backup process. If you click the No button, it starts
the backup process without stopping the operating system.
When you click the Yes button in the above dialog box, the following confirmation
message is displayed to confirm that you really want to reset the PCs.

3 TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION
Clicking the OK button starts the PCs resetting process.
The same confirmation message as above is also displayed at the end of the backup process.
When it is displayed, do the same as you have done to the above confirmation message.
<Stopping the operation system>
If the entire plant equipment under control can be stopped, stop the operating system (OS).
If the backup process is started without stopping the OS, the files will be backed up in a
condition in which the work registers in use are dynamically changing in their contents.
In this case, some contents of the work registers may remain undefined, and this condition
may lead to an error during backup.
(7) The window showing the progress of the backup process appears:
When the backup process is completed, click the OK button. (This OK button is
not selectable until the backup process is complete.) Then, the [Backup] window appears
again.
If you click the Cancel button instead, the BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM discontinues
the backup process and displays the [Backup] window again. In this case, the file(s) that
have been backed up before your clicking the Cancel button remain undeleted. Do not
use these files for backup. They may cause a malfunction.
(8) Finish your backup operation by clicking the Cancel button in the [Backup] window.

<Restrictions>
The size of save area cannot be changed for each individual module.
If the backup process in progress is canceled and ends up with an error, the OS
may remain in a stop state. Therefore, be sure to che ck if the OS is in RUN
state by using an appropriate utility command. If it is not, put it back into RUN
state by using the same utility command.
<Estimate of the time required for a backup>
If you back up approximately 22 MB of data (maximum save size) for both the LPU and CMU
modules by using a personal computer with 1-GHz CPU, the backup will require approximately
three minutes. However, this time requirement varies depending on the performance of the
machine you use.

Restoring procedure
As is done in file backup, start the S10V BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM on the personal
computer (PC) connected with the S10V system. Then, as described in detail below, click on
the Restore button in the [BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM] window. The [Select Restore
File] window then appears on the screen. Now the BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM is ready for
restoring the S10V system’s backed up files.
(1) Click the Restore button in the [BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM] window.
(2) The [Select Restore File] window appears:
Select the folder you want to restore, and click the OK button. (The OK button
cannot be clicked if the selected folder is not a folder containing the backup files.) Then,
the [Restore Information] window appears. If the backup files are stored on floppy disk or
some other storage media, choose the drive from the “Drive” pulldown menu.
If you do not want to restore the backup files, click the Cancel button. Then, the
BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM closes the [Select Restore File] window and displays the
[BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM] window again without restoring the backup files.
The “Comment” box in the [Select Restore File] window is displayed but does not allow the
input of text. If a comment was entered in the previous backup operation, it is displayed
when you have selected the backup files.
(3) Click the OK button in the [Select Restore File] window. The [Restore Information]
window is then displayed.

3 TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION
At the same time, if a CMU module is installed, and there is data backed up for that CMU
module, and a connection is established by using the RS-232C or ET.NET (LQE520)
module, then the following warning message appears:
In this case, data restoring is not performed for the CMU module. If you want to perform
data restoring for the CMU module, re-establish a connection by using the Ethernet support
provided by that CMU module or an ET.NET (model LQE720) module.
In addition, if there is a mismatch between the installed (mounted) modules and backed up
files, and some of the modules do not require restoration, then the following warning
message is displayed:
- 74 -
3 TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION
The [Restoration Information] window provides, in a list form, information as to whether
each predefined type of module is actually installed in the system and whether the
corresponding data is backed up. However, this window provides no such information on
any predefined type of module for which no data is backed up. Take a look at the displayed
list and, if you want to restore all the backup data in the list, click the OK button. Then,
the BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM starts the restoration process. (Note)
If you do not want to restore the backup data, click the Cancel button. Then, the
[Restore Information] window disappears and the [Select Restore File] window appears
again.
The following information describes the items displayed in the [Restoration Information]
window.
Module: Is the name of a predefined module type for which the BACKUP RESTORE
SYSTEM can perform a restore operation. If two or more modules are defined in
the same area by installation, all of their module names are presented in the Module
column. For information on the types of modules whose names are presented in
the Module column, see Table 3-3, “Backup Areas.” If no module is installed for
a predefined type of module, one of the following module names is presented in the
Module column, if necessary:
OD.RING -- presented for OD.RING and SD.LINK modules
J.NET -- presented for J.NET, J.NET-INT, and IR.LINK modules
RS-232C -- presented for RS-232C and RS-422 modules
Mount: Indicates whether a listed module type is actually installed or not. If a module is
installed, the string “Mounted” is presented in the Mount column. If not, the string
“Unmounted” is presented in the same column.
Save data: Indicates whether data is backed up for a listed module type or module. If the
data is backed up, the string “Data exist” is presented in the Save data column.
If not, the string “No data” is presented in the same column.
Disagreement: Indicates whether there is a mismatch between the installed modules and
backed up files. If a module is installed but no data is backed up for it, or if
a module is not installed but data is backed up for the module type, then an
asterisk (“*”) is displayed in the Disagreement column, indicating that the
BACKUP RESTORE SYSTEM will not perform a restore operation for the
module type. If a module is installed and the data is backed up for it,
nothing is displayed in the same column, indicating that it will perform a
restore operation for the module type.
Note: If there is a mismatch between the PCs number in a backup file and the PCs number in
a restoration destination, the [PCsNo. Check] window shown below is displayed. In
this case, select the desired radio button and click the OK button. However, if
the PCs number in a backup file’s header is 9999, it is not subjected to a check. In
this case, care must be taken because the PCs number of the restoration destination
PCs is overwritten with the PCs number in the backup file’s body.

Restore.It rewrites by PCsNo of the wsvl file header.:
Is an option to carry out a restore operation while overwriting the PCs number in
the restoration destination with the PCs number in the backup file’s header.
The PCs number in the backup file’s header is one that is specified at the time of
backup.
Restore.It rewrites by PCsNo of the wsvl file main part.:
Is an option to carry out a restore operation while overwriting the PCs number in
the restoration destination with the PCs number in the backup file’s body. The
PCs number in the backup file’s body is one that is set in the PCs data backed
up.
Restore.PCsNo is not rewritten.:
Is an option to carry out a restore operation without overwriting the PCs number
in the restoration destination.
No restore.: Is an option not to carry out a restore operation.
Of these, the default option is “No restore”.
In addition, if a connection is established by using the Ethernet support provided by a CMU
module or ET.NET (model LQE720) module, and there is a mismatch between the IP
address for that connection and the IP address in a backup file, then the [IP Address Check]
window shown below is displayed. In this case, select the desired radio button and click
the OK button. However, if the IP address for the connection is “192.192.192.1”, it is
not subjected to a check, assuming that the module with which the connection is established
is operating using a fixed-IP address setting. In this case, care must be taken because a
communication line error may occur during restore operation.
