modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add a backup or
failsafe provision to the control system when using the
MicroSmart
in applications where heavy damage or personal injury
may be caused in case the
MicroSmart
should fail.
• In this user’s manual, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance to Warning and Caution:
•Turn off power to the
MicroSmart
before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the
Micro-
Smart
. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
• Special expertise is required to install, wire, program, and operate the
MicroSmart
. People without such expertise must not
use the
MicroSmart
.
• Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the
MicroSmart
. If such a circuit is configured inside
the
MicroSmart
, failure of the
MicroSmart
may cause disorder of the control system, damage, or accidents.
• Install the
MicroSmart
according to the instructions described in this user’s manual. Improper installation will result in fall-
ing, failure, or malfunction of the
MicroSmart
.
• The
MicroSmart
is designed for installation in a cabinet. Do not install the
MicroSmart
outside a cabinet.
• Install the
MicroSmart
in environments described in this user’s manual. If the
MicroSmart
is used in places where the
MicroSmart
is subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations, and
excessive shocks, then electrical shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction will result.
• The environment for using the
MicroSmart
is “Pollution degree 2.” Use the
MicroSmart
in environments of pollution
degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1).
• Prevent the
MicroSmart

MicroSmart
, otherwise damage or malfunction of
the
MicroSmart
will result.
• Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the
MicroSmart
housing. Put a cover on the
MicroSmart
modules during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunc­tion.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Use of a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the power line outside the
MicroSmart
. This is required when equipment containing
the
MicroSmart
is destined for Europe.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the output circuit. This is required when equipment containing the
MicroSmart

1: GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction
This chapter describes general information for understanding the MicroSmart’s powerful capabilities and system setups to use the MicroSmart in various ways of communication.

About the MicroSmart

IDEC’s MicroSmart is a new family of micro programmable logic controllers available in two styles of CPU modules; all­in-one and slim types. The all-in-one type CPU module has 10, 16, or 24 I/O terminals and is equipped with a built-in uni­versal power supply to operate on 100 to 240V AC or 24V DC. Using four 16-point I/O modules, the 24-I/O type CPU module can expand the I/O points up to a total of 88 points. The slim type CPU module has 20 or 40 I/O terminals and operates on 24V DC. The total I/O points can be expanded to a maximum of 264.
User programs for the MicroSmart can be edited using WindLDR on a Windows PC. Since WindLDR can load existing user programs made for IDEC’s previous PLCs such as all FA series, MICRO-1, MICRO3, MICRO
3
C, and OpenNet Controller,
your software assets can be used in the new control system.
Program capacity of the all-in-one type CPU modules is 4,800 bytes (800 steps) on the 10-I/O type CPU module, 15,000 bytes (2,500 steps) on the 16-I/O type, and 27,000 bytes (4,500 steps) on the 24-I/O type. Slim type CPU modules have a program capacity of 27,000 bytes (4,500 steps) or 31,200 bytes (5,200 steps). When using an optional 64KB memory car­tridge on slim type CPU modules, the program capacity can be expanded up to 64,500 bytes (10,750 steps).

Features

Powerful Communication Functions
The MicroSmart features four powerful communication functions.
Communication Adapter (All-in-one 16- and 24-I/O type CPU modules) Communication Module (Slim type CPU modules)
In addition to the standard RS232C port 1, the all-in-one 16- and 24-I/O type CPU modules feature a port 2 connector to install an optional RS232C or RS485 communication adapter. All slim type CPU modules can be used with an optional RS232C or RS485 communication module to add communication port 2. With an optional HMI base module mounted with a slim type CPU module, an optional RS232C or RS485 communication adapter can also be installed on the HMI base module.
Maintenance Communication (Computer Link)
When a MicroSmart CPU module is connected to a computer, operating status and I/O status can be monitored on the computer, data in the CPU can be monitored or updated, and user programs can be downloaded and uploaded. All CPU modules (except the all-in-one 10-I/O type) can set up a 1:N computer link system to connect a maximum of 32 CPU modules to a computer.
User Communication
All MicroSmart CPU modules can be linked to external RS232C devices such as computers, printers, and barcode readers, using the user communication function. RS485 user communi­cation is also available on upgraded CPU modules of slim 20-I/O relay output and 40-I/O types.
Modem Communication
All MicroSmart CPU modules (except the all-in-one 10-I/O type) can communicate through modems using the built-in modem protocol.
Data Link
All MicroSmart CPU modules (except the all-in-one 10-I/O type) can set up a data link system. One CPU module at the master station can communicate with 31 slave stations through an RS485 line to exchange data and perform distributed control ef fectively.
RS232C Communication Adapter RS232C Communication Module
Used for computer link 1:1 communication, user communication, and modem communication.
RS485 Communication Adapter RS485 Communication Module
Available in mini DIN connector and terminal block styles. Used for computer link 1:1 or 1:N communication, user communication, and data link communication.

1-2 « FC4A MICROSMART USERS MANUAL »
HMI Module (all CPU modules)
An optional HMI module can be installed on any all-in-one type CPU module, and also on the HMI base module mounted next to any slim type CPU module. The HMI module makes it possible to manipulate the RAM data in the CPU module without using the Online menu options in WindLDR.
HMI module functions include:
Displaying timer/counter current values and changing timer/counter preset values
Displaying and changing data register values
Setting and resetting bit operand statuses, such as inputs, outputs, internal relays, and shift register bits
Displaying and clearing error data
Starting and stopping the PLC
Displaying and changing calendar/clock data (only when using the clock cartridge)
Confirming changed timer/counter preset values
Clock Cartridge (all CPU modules)
An optional clock cartridge can be installed on the CPU module to store real time calendar/clock data for use with advanced instructions to perform time-scheduled control.
Memory Cartridge (all CPU modules)
A user program can be stored on an optional memory cartridge using WindLDR. The memory cartridge can be installed on another CPU module to replace user programs without the need for connecting to a computer. The original user program in the CPU module is restored after removing the memory cartridge. The user program on the memory cartridge can also be downloaded to the CPU module. The download option is selected using WindLDR.
Analog I/O Modules (all CPU modules except the all-in-one 10- and 16-I/O types)
Analog I/O modules are available in 3-I/O types, 2-input type, and 1-output type. The input channel can accept either volt­age (0 to 10V DC) and current (4 to 20 mA) signals or thermocouple (types K, J, and T) and resistance thermometer (Pt
100) signals. The output channel generates voltage (0 to 10V DC) and current (4 to 20 mA) signals.
AS-Interface Master Module (slim type 20-I/O relay output and 40-I/O types)
Four upgraded slim type CPU modules (FC4A-D20RK1, FC4A-D20RS1, FC4A-D40K3, and FC4A-D40S3) with system program ver. 201 and higher can use the AS-Interface master module, and have additional internal relays and data registers to communicate with slaves, such as actuators and sensors, through the AS-Interface bus. For details about AS-Interface module and AS-Interface communication, see page 2-57 and chapter 28.

Special Functions

The MicroSmart features various special functions packed in the small housing as described below. For details about these functions, see the following chapters.
Stop and Reset Inputs
Any input terminal on the CPU module can be designated as a stop or reset input to control the MicroSmart operation.
RUN/STOP Selection at Startup when “Keep” Data is Broken
When data to be kept such as “keep” designated counter values are broken while the CPU is powered down, the user can select whether the CPU starts to run or not to prevent undesirable operation at the next startup.
“Keep” or “Clear” Designation of CPU Data
Internal relays, shift register bits, counter current values, and data register values can be designated to be kept or cleared when the CPU is powered down. All or a specified range of these operands can be designated as keep or clear types.
High-speed Counter
The MicroSmart has four built-in high-speed counters to make it possible to count up to 65,535 (FFFFh) high-speed pulses which cannot be counted by the normal user program processing. One high-speed counter (all-in-one type CPU modules) or two high-speed counters (slim type CPU modules) can be used as either two-phase or single-phase high-speed counters at a maximum count input frequency of 20 kHz. Three or two others are single-phase high-speed counters with a maxi­mum counting frequency of 5 kHz. The high-speed counters can be used for simple positioning control and simple motor control.
1: GENERAL INFORMATION
« FC4A MICROSMART USERS MANUAL » 1-3
Catch Input
Four inputs can be used as catch inputs. The catch input makes sure to receive short input pulses (rising pulse of 40 µs or falling pulse of 150 µs minimum) from sensors without regard to the scan time.
Interrupt Input
Four inputs can be used as interrupt inputs. When a quick response to an external input is required, such as positioning control, the interrupt input can call a subroutine to execute an interrupt program.
Timer Interrupt
In addition to the interrupt input, slim type CPU modules FC4A-D20RK1, FC4A-D20RS1, FC4A-D40K1, and FC4A­D40S1 have a timer interrupt function. When a repetitive operation is required, the timer interrupt can be used to call a subroutine repeatedly at predetermined intervals of 10 through 140 ms.
Input Filter
The input filter can be adjusted for eight inputs to reject input noises. Selectable input filter values to pass input signals are 0 ms, and 3 through 15 ms in 1-ms increments. The input filter rejects inputs shorter than the selected input filter value minus 2 ms. This function is useful for eliminating input noises and chatter in limit switches.
User Program Read/Write Protection
The user program in the CPU module can be protected against reading and/or writing by including a password in the user program. Read protection without a password is also available to inhibit reading completely.
Constant Scan Time
The scan time may vary whether basic and advanced instructions are executed or not depending on input conditions to these instructions. When performing repetitive control, the scan time can be made constant by entering a required scan time value into a special data register reserved for constant scan time.
Partial Program Download
Normally, the CPU module has to be stopped before downloading a user program. All CPU modules (except the all-in-one 10-I/O type) have run-time program download capabilities to download a user program containing small changes while the CPU is running in either 1:1 or 1:N computer link system. This function is particularly useful to make small modifications to the user program and confirm the changes while the CPU is running.
Analog Potentiometer
All CPU modules have an analog potentiometer, except the all-in-one 24-I/O type CPU module has two analog potentiom­eters. The values (0 through 255) set with analog potentiometers 1 and 2 are stored to special data registers. The analog potentiometer can be used to change the preset value for a timer or counter.
Analog Voltage Input
Every slim type CPU module has an analog voltage input connector. When an analog voltage of 0 through 10V DC is applied to the analog voltage input connector, the signal is converted to a digital value of 0 through 255 and stored to a spe­cial data register. The data is updated in every scan.
Pulse Output
Slim type CPU modules have pulse output instructions to generate high-speed pulse outputs from transistor output termi­nals used for simple position control applications, illumination control, trapezoidal control, and zero-return control.
PID Control
All CPU modules (except the all-in-one 10- and 16-I/O types) have the PID instruction, which implements a PID (propor­tional, integral, and derivative) algorithm with built-in auto tuning to determine PID parameters. This instruction is prima­rily designed for use with an analog I/O module to read analog input data, and turns on and off a designated output to perform PID control in applications such as temperature control. In addition, the PID instruction can also generate an ana­log output using an analog I/O module.
Expansion Data Register
Slim type CPU modules FC4A-D20RK1, FC4A-D20RS1, FC4A-D40K3, and FC4A-D40S3 have expansion data registers D2000 through D7999. Numerical data can be set to expansion data registers using WindLDR. When downloading the user program, the preset values of the expansion data registers are also downloaded to the EEPROM in the CPU module. Since the data in the EEPROM is non-volatile, the preset values of the expansion data registers are maintained semi-permanently and loaded to the RAM each time the CPU is powered up.

System Setup

This section illustrates system setup configurations for using powerful communication functions of the MicroSmart.
User Communication and Modem Communication System
The all-in-one 16- and 24-I/O type MicroSmart CPU modules have port 1 for RS232C communication and port 2 connec­tor. An optional RS232C or RS485 communication adapter can be installed on the port 2 connector. With an RS232C com­munication adapter installed on port 2, the 16- or 24-I/O type MicroSmart CPU module can communicate with two RS232C devices at the same time.
The figure below illustrates a system setup of user communication and modem communication. In this example, the oper­ating status of a remote machine is monitored on a computer through modems connected to port 2 and the data is trans­ferred through port 1 to a pager transmitter using the user communication.
The same system can be set up using any slim type CPU module and an optional RS232C communication module.

Analog I/O Modules

Analog I/O modules are available in 3-I/O types, 2-, 4-, and 8-input types, and 1- and 2-output types. The input channel can accept voltage and current signals, thermocouple and resistance thermometer signals, or thermistor signals. The output channel generates voltage and current signals.

END Refresh Type and Ladder Refresh Type
Depending on the internal circuit design for data refreshing, analog I/O modules are categorized into two types.
Analog I/O Module Category END Refresh Type Ladder Refresh Type
Parameter Refreshing At the end processing in the first scan When executing ANST macro
While CPU is running
While CPU is stopped
Data Register Allocation By default Optionally designated in ANST macro
Analog I/O Data Refreshing
Analog Output Data Refreshing
At the end processing
When M8025 (maintain outputs while CPU stopped) is on, output data is refreshed. When off, output is turned off.
END Refresh Type
Each END refresh type analog I/O module is allocated 20 data registers to store analog I/O data and parameters for con­trolling analog I/O operation. These data registers are updated at ever y end processing while the CPU module is running. WindLDR has ANST macro to program the analog I/O modules.
The CPU module checks the analog I/O configuration only once at the end processing in the first scan. If you have changed the parameter while the CPU is running, stop and restar t the CPU to enable the new parameter.
Ladder Refresh Type
Each ladder refresh type analog I/O module can be allocated any data registers to store analog I/O data and parameters for controlling analog I/O operation. The data registers are programmed in the ANST macro. Analog I/O data are updated at the ladder step following the ANST macro. Analog I/O parameters are updated when the ANST macro is executed, so analog I/O parameters can be changed while the CPU is running.
In the step after ANST macro (always refreshed whether input to ANST is on or off)
Maintains output status when the CPU is stopped. Output data can be changed using STPA instruction while the CPU is stopped. See page 26-21.

Power Supply for Analog I/O Modules
When supplying power to the analog I/O modules, take the following considerations.
Power Supply for FC4A-L03A1, FC4A-L03AP1, FC4A-J2A1, and FC4A-K1A1
Use separate power supplies for the MicroSmart CPU module and FC4A-L03A1, FC4A-L03AP1, FC4A-J2A1, and FC4A-
K1A1
. Power up the analog I/O modules at least 1 second earlier than the CPU module. This is recommended to ensure
correct operation of the analog I/O control.
Note: When re-powering up the analog I/O modules FC4A-L03A1, -L03AP1, and -J2A1, a time interval is needed before turn­ing on these modules. If a single power supply is used for the MicroSmart CPU module and the analog I/O modules, turn on the analog I/O modules at least 5 seconds (at 25°C) after turning off these modules. If separate power supplies are used for the MicroSmart CPU module and the analog I/O modules, turn on the analog I/O modules at least 30 seconds (at 25°C) after turning off the analog I/O modules whether the CPU module is powered up or not.
Power Supply for FC4A-J4CN1, FC4A-J8C1, FC4A-J8AT1, and FC4A-K2C1
Use the same power supply for the MicroSmart CPU module and FC4A-J4CN1, FC4A-J8C1, FC4A-J8AT1, and FC4A-K2C1 to suppress the influence of noises.
After the CPU module has started to run, ladder refresh type analog input modules perform initialization for a maximum of 5 seconds. During this period, the analog input data have an indefinite value. Design the user program to make sure that the analog input data are read to the CPU module after the analog input operating status has changed to 0 (normal opera­tion). For the analog input operating status, see page 26-13.
Wiring Analog I/O Lines
Separate the analog I/O lines, particularly resistance thermometer inputs, from motor lines as much as possible to suppress the influence of noises.

3: INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Introduction
This chapter describes the methods and precautions for installing and wiring MicroSmart modules.
Before starting installation and wiring, be sure to read “Safety Precautions” in the beginning of this manual and under­stand precautions described under Warning and Caution.

Installation Location

The MicroSmart must be installed correctly for optimum perfor­mance.
The
MicroSmart is designed for installation in a cabinet. Do not
install the MicroSmart outside a cabinet.
The environment for using the MicroSmart is “Pollution degree 2.” Use the
MicroSmart in environments of pollution degree 2 (accord-
ing to IEC 60664-1).
Make sure that the operating temperature does not drop below 0°C or exceed 55°C. If the temperature does exceed 55°C, use a fan or cooler.
Mount the MicroSmart on a vertical plane as shown at right.
To eliminate excessive temperature build-up, provide ample venti­lation. Do not install the MicroSmart near, and especially above, any device which generates considerable heat, such as a heater, transformer, or large-capacity resistor. The relative humidity should be above 30% and below 95%.
The MicroSmart should not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, salt, direct sunlight, vibrations, or shocks. Do not use the MicroSmart in an area where corrosive chemicals or flammable gases are present. The modules should not be exposed to chemical, oil, or water splashes.
Warning
Caution
Turn off the power to the MicroSmart before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance,
and inspection of the MicroSmart. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the MicroSmart. If such a
circuit is configured inside the MicroSmart, failure of the MicroSmart may cause disorder of the control system, damage, or accidents.
Special expertise is required to install, wire, program, and operate the MicroSmart. People with-
out such expertise must not use the MicroSmart.
Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the MicroSmart housing. Put a
cover on the MicroSmart modules during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunction.
Do not touch the connector pins with hand, otherwise electrostatic discharge may damage the
internal elements.

Assembling Modules

The following example demonstrates the procedure for assembling the all-in-one 24-I/O type CPU module and an I/O module together. When assembling slim type CPU modules, take the same procedure.
1. When assembling an input or output module,
remove the expansion connector seal from the 24-I/O type CPU module.
2. Place the CPU module and I/O module side by side. Put the
expansion connectors together for easy alignment.
3. With the expansion connectors aligned correctly and the
blue unlatch button in the down position, press the CPU module and I/O module together until the latches click to attach the modules together firmly. If the unlatch button is in the up position, push down the button to engage the latches.

Disassembling Modules

1. If the modules are mounted on a DIN rail, first remove the
modules from the DIN rail as described on page 3-7.
2. Push up the blue unlatch button to disengage the latches,
and pull the modules apart as shown. When disassembling slim type CPU modules, take the same procedure.

Caution
Assemble MicroSmart modules together before mounting the modules onto a DIN rail. Attempt
to assemble modules on a DIN rail may cause damage to the modules.
Turn off the power to the MicroSmart before assembling the modules. Failure to turn power off
may cause electrical shocks.
Caution
Remove the MicroSmart modules from the DIN rail before disassembling the modules. Attempt
to disassemble modules on a DIN rail may cause damage to the modules.
Turn off the power to the MicroSmart before disassembling the modules. Failure to turn power
off may cause electrical shocks.
