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.

1-2FC5A MICROSMART USER’S MANUAL
1: GENERAL INFORMATION
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 USER’S MANUAL1-3
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 CategoryEND Refresh TypeLadder Refresh Type
Parameter RefreshingAt the end processing in the first scanWhen executing ANST macro
While CPU
is running
While CPU
is stopped
Data Register AllocationBy defaultOptionally 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.

Notes for Using the Analog I/O Modules:
• Use separate power supplies for the MicroSmart CPU module and analog I/O modules. 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.
• Separate the analog I/O lines, particularly resistance thermometer inputs, from motor lines as much as possible to sup-
press the influence of noises.
Separate the analog I/O line
from the power line.

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
interface module. When AC input module is connected, the ERR LED on the CPU module does not turn on. Make sure that
AC input module is not connected to the right of the expansion interface module.
