SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Read this user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and inspection of the MicroSmart.
• All MicroSmart modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add a backup or failsafe provision to the control system 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:
Warning
•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.
• 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 fall­ing, failure, or malfunction of the MicroSmart.
Caution
• 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 from falling while moving or transporting the 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 is des­tined for Europe.
• Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
• Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the MicroSmart or when operating the MicroSmar t to force outputs on or off. Incorrect operation on the MicroSmart may cause machine damage or accidents.
• If relays or transistors in the MicroSmart output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off. For output signals which may cause heavy accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside the MicroSmart.
• Do not connect the ground wire directly to the MicroSmart. Connect a protective ground to the cabinet containing the
MicroSmart using an M4 or larger screw. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmar t is destined for
Europe.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the MicroSmart modules.
• Dispose of the battery in the MicroSmart modules when the battery is dead in accordance with pertaining regulations. When storing or disposing of the battery, use a proper container prepared for this purpose. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
• When disposing of the MicroSmart, do so as an industrial waste.

Introduction
This chapter describes general information about the powerful capabilities of the upgraded FC5A series MicroSmart micro programmable logic controllers and system setups to use the MicroSmart in various ways of communication.

About the MicroSmart

IDEC’s FC5A MicroSmart is an upgraded family of micro programmable logic controllers available in two styles of CPU modules; all-in-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 optional 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. Program capacity of the all-in-one type CPU modules is 13,800 bytes (2,300 steps) on the 10-I/O type CPU module, 27,000 bytes (4,500 steps) on the 16-I/O type, and 54,000 bytes (9,000 steps) on the 24-I/O type.
The slim type CPU module has 16 or 32 I/O terminals and operates on 24V DC. The total I/O points can be expanded to a maximum of 512. When using two AS-Interface master modules, a maximum of 1,380 I/O points can be connected. The program capacity of slim type CPU modules is 62,400 bytes (10,400 steps).
Slim type CPU modules feature Logic Engine for superior ladder processing capabilities to achieve fast execution of instructions — 0.056 µs for a basic instruction (LOD) and 0.167 µs for an advanced instruction (MOV).
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 well as the FC4A MicroSmart, your software assets can be used in the new control system.

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 count high-speed pulses which cannot be counted by the normal user program processing. All-in-one type CPU modules can count up to 65,535 pulses at 50 kHz. Slim type CPU modules can count up to 4,294,967,295 pulses at 100 kHz. Both CPU modules can use either single-phase or two-phase high-speed counters. The high-speed counters can be used for simple positioning control and simple motor control.
Frequency Measurement
The pulse frequency of input signals to four input terminals can be counted using the high-speed counter function at a maximum of 50 kHz (all-in-one type CPU modules) or 100 kHz (slim type CPU modules).
Catch Input
Four inputs can be used as catch inputs. The catch input makes sure to receive short input pulses from sensors without regard to the scan time — rising and falling pulse widths of 40 µs and 150 µs (all-in-one type CPU modules) or 5 µs and 5 µs (slim type CPU modules).
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, all CPU modules 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. This function is effective for security of user programs.
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.
Online Edit, Run-Time Program Download, and Test Program Download
Normally, the CPU module has to be stopped before downloading a user program. All CPU modules have online edit, run­time program download, and test 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.
FC5A MICROSMART USERS MANUAL 1-3
1: GENERAL INFORMATION
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 or advanced 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 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.
32-bit and Floating Point Data Types
Some advanced instructions can select 32-bit data types from D (double word), L (long), and F (float) in addition to W (word) and I (integer).

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.

Expansion Interface Module

Slim type CPU modules can normally connect a maximum of seven I/O modules. Using the expansion interface module makes it possible to connect additional eight I/O modules to expand another 256 I/O points. The maximum number of I/O points is 512, including the I/Os in the CPU module.
Expansion interface modules are available in two mounting styles: for integrated mounting and separate mounting.
For the integrated mounting, expansion interface module FC5A-EXM2 is mounted next to the seventh I/O module and more I/O modules are mounted next to the expansion interface module.
For the separate mounting, expansion interface master module FC5A-EXM1M and expansion interface slave module FC5A-EXM1S are used. The expansion interface master module is mounted at the end of I/O modules, the expansion interface slave module is used at the beginning of the other I/O modules, and the master and slave modules are connected with expansion interface cable FC5A-KX1C.

Notes:
Use one power supply to power the CPU module and the expansion interface module or expansion interface slave module.
When using a separate power supply, power up the expansion interface module or expansion inter face slave module first,
followed by the CPU module, otherwise the CPU module causes an error and cannot star t and stop operation.
Use the optional expansion interface cable FC5A-KX1C for connection between the expansion interface master and slave
modules.
If the expansion interface cable is disconnected during operation, the I/O modules connected to the expansion interface
slave module are reset and all I/O points are turned of f automatically. Then, turn off the power to the CPU module and the expansion interface slave module, connect the cable, and turn on the power again.
Only one expansion interface module can be used with the CPU module.
AC input module, analog I/O modules, and AS-Interface master module cannot be connected to the right of the expansion

Memory Cartridge

A user program can be stored on an optional memory cartridge installed on a MicroSmart CPU module from a computer running WindLDR, and the memory cartridge can be installed on another MicroSmart CPU module of the same type. Using a memory cartridge, the CPU module can exchange user programs where a computer cannot be used.
This feature is available on all models of CPU modules.
Memory Cartridge Type Number
Module Name Type No.
32KB Memory Cartridge FC4A-PM32
64KB Memory Cartridge FC4A-PM64
User Program Execution Priority
Depending whether a memory cartridge is installed on the MicroSmart CPU module or not, a user program stored on the memory cartridge or on the CPU module EEPROM is executed, respectively.
Memory Cartridge User Program Execution Priority
The user program stored on the memor y car tridge is executed. When the memory cartridge does not store a user program, the user program

Note: The optional clock cartridge (FC4A-PT1) and the memory car tridge cannot be used together on the all-in-one type CPU
module. The clock cartridge and the memory cartridge can be used together on the slim type CPU module.
User Program Compatibility
The CPU module can execute only user programs created for the same CPU module type. When installing a memory car­tridge, make sure that the user program stored on the memory cartridge matches the CPU module type. If the user program is not for the same CPU module type, a user program syntax error occurs and the CPU module cannot run the user pro­gram.
Caution
Compatibility of User Program with CPU Modules
When a memory cartridge contains a user program for higher functionality, do not install the mem­ory cartridge into CPU modules with lower functionality, otherwise the user program is not exe­cuted correctly. Make sure that the user program in the memory cartridge is compatible with the CPU module.

Downloading and Uploading User Program to and from Memory Cartridge Using WindLDR
When a memory cartridge is installed on the CPU module, a user program is downloaded to and uploaded from the mem­ory cartridge using WindLDR on a computer. When a memory cartridge is not installed on the CPU module, a user program is downloaded to and uploaded from the CPU module. For the procedures to download a user program from WindLDR on a computer, see page 4-10.
With a memory cartridge installed on a CPU module, if the user program stored on the memory cartridge does not match the CPU module type, downloading is possible, but uploading is not possible. To upload a user program, make sure that the existing user program stored on the memory cartridge matches the CPU module type. Downloading is always possible to new blank memory cartridges installed on any type of CPU modules.
Downloading User Program from Memory Cartridge to the CPU Module
Using WindLDR settings, the user program stored on the memory cartridge can be downloaded to the CPU module.
Programming WindLDR
1. From the WindLDR menu bar, select Configure > Function Area Settings. The Function Area Settings dialog box
appears.
2. Select the Others tab.
3. Under Memory Cartridge Setting, click the check box to the left of Download the user program from a memory cartridge when installed on a CPU module.
Checked: The user program is downloaded from the memory car tridge to the CPU module.
Unchecked: The user program is not downloaded from the memor y car tridge to the CPU module.
With the user program in the CPU module is write-protected or read/write-protected, the user program can be downloaded only when the password in the memory cartridge matches the password in the CPU module. For user program protection password, see page 5-38.
