Special versions without operator panel and display unit are available for series production applications in small machine, apparatus, switching cabinet and installation engineering.

Which devices are available?

IDEC SmartRelay Basic is available in two voltage classes:

• Class 1 Class 2 > 24 V, i.e. 100...240V AC/DC,

in the versions:

• With display: 8 inputs and 4 outputs.

• Without display ("IDEC SmartRelay Pure"): 8 inputs and 4 outputs.

≤ 24 V, i.e. 12V DC, 24V DC, 24V AC

IDEC SmartRelay Manual

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

Each version is integrated into 4 subunits (SU), is equipped with an expansion interface and provides 33 pre-configured standard and special function blocks for the creation of your circuit program.

Which expansion modules are available?

• IDEC SmartRelay digital modules are available for operation with 12V DC, 24V AC/DC and 100...240V AC/DC, and are equipped with four inputs and four outputs.

• IDEC SmartRelay analog modules are available for operation with 12V DC and 24V DC, and are equipped with two analog inputs.

• IDEC SmartRelay communications modules (CM), for example the communications module AS-interface, that is described in a separate documentation.

The digital/analog modules are integrated in two subunits. Each one is equipped with two expansion interfaces for connecting additional modules.

It's your choice

The various IDEC SmartRelay Basic versions and expansion modules offer you a highly flexible and adaptive system to suit your specific tasks.

The IDEC SmartRelay system offers you many solutions such as for small domestic installations, simple automation tasks, and even complex engineering tasks involving its integration into a bus system (e.g. communications module AS-interface.

Note

IDEC SmartRelay Basic may only be equipped with expansion modules of the same voltage class. Mechanical encoding pins in the housing prevent you from connecting devices of a different voltage class.

Exception: The left-hand interface of an analog module or communication module is galvanically isolated. This type of expansion module can therefore be connected to devices of a different voltage class. See also Chapter 2.1.

Each IDEC SmartRelay Basic provides the following connections for the creation of the circuit program, regardless of the number of connected modules:

General guidelines

Please note the following guidelines for the installation and wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay :

• Always ensure that the wiring of your IDEC SmartRelay is

compliant with current rules and standards. Also, conform with all national and regional regulations when you install and operate the devices. For information on standards and regulations that apply to your specific case, contact your local authorities.

• Always use cables with an appropriate conductor

cross-sections for the relevant current. You can wire the IDEC SmartRelay with cable conductor cross-sections

from 1.5 mm

• Do not exceed the screw torque of the terminals. The

maximum torque is: 0.5Nm, see Chapter 2.3.

• Keep the cabling as short as possible. If longer cables are

necessary, you should use shielded versions. You should always route your cables in pairs: i.e. one neutral conductor plus one phase conductor or signal line.

• Always keep separate:

- The AC wiring

- High-voltage DC circuits with high-frequency switching cycles

- Low-voltage signal wiring.

• Ensure that the wires are installed with an appropriate strain relief.

• Provide a suitable lightning surge arrester for cables installed in relevant areas of hazard.

• To power the CPU module and expansion I/O modules,

use one power supply to supply the same power voltage. When using different power supplies, the fast transient/ burst immunity (IEC61000-4-4) will be 1 kV (power supply).

•A 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot be connected to the

right side of a 12/24V DC, 24V DC, or 24V AC/DC module.

• For analog input module and AS-Interface communica-

tion module, a module of any voltage can be connected to the left side. To the right side, however, a 100 to 240V AC/DC module cannot be connected.

2.2 Installing/removing IDEC SmartRelay

Dimensions

The IDEC SmartRelay installation dimensions are compliant with DIN 43880.

IDEC SmartRelay can be snap-mounted to 35 mm DIN rails to EN 50022 or on the wall.

IDEC SmartRelay width:

• IDEC SmartRelay Basic has a width of 72 mm, which corresponds with 4 subunits.

• IDEC SmartRelay expansion modules have a width of 36 mm, which corresponds with 2 subunits.

Note

The figure below shows you an example of the installation and removal of a FL1C-H12RCC and a digital module. The measures shown apply to all other IDEC SmartRelay Basic versions and expansion modules.

Warning

Always switch off power before you “remove” and “insert” a module (base module, expansion module, communication module).

Take the quiescent current of any 2-wire proximity switches used into account. The level of the quiescent current of some 2-wire proximity switches is high enough to trigger a logical "1" signal at the IDEC SmartRelay input. You should therefore compare the quiescent current of the proximity switches with the technical data of inputs Appendix A.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 25

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

Restrictions

• Signal status transitions 0 → 1 / 1 → 0

After a 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 transition, the signal must remain constant at the input at least for the duration of one program cycle, so that IDEC SmartRelay can detect the new signal status.

The program execution time is determined by the size of the circuit program. Appendix B contains a benchmark test routine that you can use to determine the current scan cycle time.

Special features of FL1C-H12RCE/FL1C-B12RCE and FL1CH12SND

• High-speed inputs: I5 and I6

These versions are also equipped with high-speed counting inputs (Up/down counters, Frequency triggers). The restrictions mentioned earlier do not apply to these high-speed inputs.

Note

The high-speed inputs I5 and I6 are the same as in the previous versions FL1B, i.e. a circuit program that is written in these versions can be transferred to the new FL1C units by means of the programming software WindLGC, without any changes to these features.

Expansion modules do not have high-speed inputs.

• Analog inputs: I7 and I8

The inputs I7 and I8 of IDEC SmartRelay versions FL1CH12RCE/FL1C-B12RCE and FL1C-H12SND can be used both as standard digital inputs and as analog inputs. The input mode is defined in the IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.

The inputs I7 / I8 provide digital functions, and the inputs AI1 and AI2 provide analog functions.

2.3.3 Connecting outputs

FL1C-B12RCC / FL1C-B12RCA / FL1C-H12RCC / FL1C-H12RCA/ FL1C-H12RCE / FL1C-B12RCE

These units are equipped with relay outputs. The potential of the relay contacts is isolated from the power supply and the inputs.

Requirements for relay outputs

You can connect various loads to the outputs, e.g. lamps, fluorescent lamps, motors, contactor relays etc. For information on the properties required for the loads connected to the these units, refer to Appendix A.

2.4 Switching on the IDEC SmartRelay / Power On

IDEC SmartRelay does not have a power switch. The reaction of IDEC SmartRelay during startup depends on

• Whether a circuit program is stored in IDEC SmartRelay

• Whether a memory cartridge (card) is inserted

• Whether this is a IDEC SmartRelay version without display unit (FL1C-B12...)

• The status of IDEC SmartRelay at the time of power failure.

All possible reaction of IDEC SmartRelay are described on the following page.

Note

After power-up, the FL1C performs initialization. After completing initialization, the FL1C is ready to start to run. During initialization, a sandglass is displayed on the CPU module with display, or the LED is lit red on the CPU module without display.

Initialization time (regardless of expansion module)

When a memory cartridge is installed: Max. 10 sec When a memory cartridge is not installed: Max. 9 sec

IDEC SmartRelay Manual

IDEC SmartRelay installation and wiring

You can also memorize four simple rules for starting IDEC SmartRelay :

1. If neither the IDEC SmartRelay nor the inserted memory

cartridge (card) contains a circuit program, the IDEC SmartRelay (with display unit ) reports: 'No Program / Press ESC'.

2. A circuit program on the memory cartridge (card) is au-

tomatically copied to IDEC SmartRelay. The circuit program in the IDEC SmartRelay is overwritten.

3. If there is a circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay or on the

memory cartridge (card), IDEC SmartRelay adopts the operational state it had prior to POWER-OFF. Versions without display unit (FL1C-B12...) automatically change from STOP to RUN (LED changes from red to green).

4. If you have enabled retentivity at least for one function,

or a function is permanently retentive, the current values are retained at POWER-OFF.

Note

When a power failure occurs while you are entering a circuit program, the program in IDEC SmartRelay will be deleted after power is returned.

Before you modify the circuit program, you should therefore save a backup copy of your original to a memory cartridge (card) or to a computer (WindLGC).

3 Programming IDEC SmartRelay

Getting started with IDEC SmartRelay

Programming in our context refers to the creation of a circuit program. A IDEC SmartRelay circuit program is actually no more than a circuit diagram presented in a slightly different form!

We have adapted this presentation to the IDEC SmartRelay display field. In this chapter we are going to show you how to use IDEC SmartRelay to create the IDEC SmartRelay circuit programs for your application.

At this point, we once again refer to WindLGC, which is the IDEC SmartRelay programming software you can use to quickly and easily create, test, modify save and print the circuit programs. The topics in this manual relate only to the creation of circuit programs on the actual IDEC SmartRelay, because the programming software WindLGC already contains an extensive Online Help. See also Chapter 7.

Note

IDEC SmartRelay versions without display unit, i.e. the FL1CB12RCE, FL1C-B12RCA and FL1C-B12RCC units, do not have an operator panel and display unit. They are primarily designed for use in small machine and process equipment engineering systems for series production. FL1C-B12... versions are not programmed directly at the unit. Instead, the circuit program is downloaded to this device by means of WindLGC or memory cartridges (cards) of other IDEC SmartRelay FL1C units. IDEC SmartRelay versions without display can not write data to memory cartridges (cards). See Chapter 6, 7 and Appendix C.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 39

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

A small example in the first part of this chapter introduces the operating principle of IDEC SmartRelay.

• We shall first show you the meaning of two basic terms, namely the connector and the block.

• In the next step, we shall create a circuit program based on a simple conventional circuit, which you ...

• can enter directly in IDEC SmartRelay in the third step.

It will take you only a few pages of this manual store your first executable circuit program in the IDEC SmartRelay unit. With a suitable hardware (switches etc.), you will then be able to carry out first tests.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 41

Note

IDEC SmartRelay can recognize, read and switch the I/O of all expansion modules, regardless of their type. The I/O are presented in the installation order of the modules.

The following I/Os and marker blocks are available for the creation of your circuit program: I1 to I24, AI1 to AI8, Q1 to Q16, M1 to M24 and AM1 to AM6. Also available are the shift register bits S1 to S8,

4 cursor keys C X1 to X16. More details are found in Chapter 4.1.

The following applies to the inputs I7 and I8 of FL1C-H12RCE/ FLC1-B12RCE and FL1C-H12SND versions: If Ix is used in the circuit program, this input signal is digital; signals at AIx are analog. Input AIx can only represent the connector that is actually capable of handling analog signals.

▲, C , C▼ and C , as well as 16 blank outputs

IDEC SmartRelay's connectors

The term connector refers to all connections and states in IDEC SmartRelay.

The I/O status can be '0' or '1'. Status '0' means that the input does not carry a voltage. Status '1' means that the input carries voltage.

We have introduced 'hi', 'lo' and 'x' connectors to make it easier for you to create the circuit program: 'hi' (high) is assigned the status '1', 'lo' (low) is assigned the status '0'.

You do not have to use all the of connectors of a block. The circuit program automatically assigns the unused connectors a status that ensures proper functioning of the relevant block. If you prefer to do so, you can identify unused connectors with an 'x'.

For information on the meaning of the term “block”, refer to Chapter 3.2.

3.2 Blocks and block numbers

This chapter shows you how to use IDEC SmartRelay elements to create complex circuits and how blocks and I/O are interconnected.

In Chapter 3.3 we are going to show you how to transform a conventional circuit to obtain a IDEC SmartRelay circuit program.

Blocks

A block in IDEC SmartRelay represents a function that is used to convert input information into output information. Previously you had to wire the individual elements in a control cabinet or terminal box.

When you create the circuit program, you interconnect the blocks. To do so, simply select the connection you require from the Co menu The menu name Co is an abbreviation of the term “Connector”.

Logic operations

The most elementary blocks are the logic operations:

• AND

•OR

• ...

These special functions offer you a significantly higher performance:

• Current impulse relay

• Up/down counter

• On-delay

• Softkey

• ....

In Chapter 4 you will find a full list of the IDEC SmartRelay functions.

View of blocks on the IDEC SmartRelay display

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

The figure above shows you three views of the IDEC SmartRelay display, which represent the circuit program. As you can see, IDEC SmartRelay interconnects the blocks using their numbers.

Advantages of the block numbers

You can connect almost any block to an input of the current block by means of its block number. In this way, you can reuse the interim results of logical or other operations, reduce programming effort, save memory space and clean up your circuit layout. To do so, however, you need to know how IDEC SmartRelay has named the blocks.

Note

We advise you to create an organizational program chart. You will find this a valuable help when you create the circuit program, because you can enter all block numbers assigned by IDEC SmartRelay in this chart.

By using the WindLGC software to program the IDEC SmartRelay, you can directly create a function chart of your circuit program. WindLGC also allows you to assign 8-character names to up to 64 blocks, and to view these on the IDEC SmartRelay display in parameter assignment and programming mode (see Chapter 3.2).

Note

Although you have four inputs available for logic operations (Basic functions, see Chapter 4.2), most of the views will only show three inputs for reasons of clarity. You program this fourth input and assign parameters just like you do with the other three inputs.

To create a circuit logic in IDEC SmartRelay, start at the output.

The output is the load or relay that is to be switched. Convert the circuit logic into blocks by working through the

circuit, starting at the output and ending at the input: Step 1: The make contact S3 is interconnected in series to

output Q1 and to a further circuit element. A series connection corresponds with the AND block:

Step 2

: S1 and S2 are connected in parallel. A parallel circuit

corresponds with the OR block:

Unused inputs

The circuit program automatically assigns the unused connectors a status that ensures proper functioning of the relevant block. If you like, you can label unused connectors with an 'x' identifier.

In our example we shall use only two inputs of the OR block and two inputs of the AND block; the relevant unused third and fourth inputs are identified at the connector with an 'x'.

Now connect the I/Os to the IDEC SmartRelay .

• You create the circuit program in programming mode. After power is on, and when the display shows “No Program / Press ESC”, press the ESC key to select programming mode.

• Timer and parameter values of an existing circuit program can be edited both in parameter assignment

mode and in programming mode. During parameter assignment the IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN mode, i.e.

it continues execution of the circuit program (see Chapter 5). To work in programming mode, you need to terminate the circuit program by calling the “Stop” command.

• Select the 'Start' command on the main menu to set RUN mode.

• When the system is in RUN, you can return to parameter assignment mode by pressing the ESC key.

• When parameter assignment mode is open and you want to return to programming mode, select the “Stop” command from the parameter assignment menu, and confirm “Stop Prg” prompt with “Yes”. To do so, move the cursor to “Yes” and confirm with OK.

For more details on operating modes, refer to Appendix D.

Rule 2 Outputs and inputs

• Always create your circuit program by working from the output to the input.

• You can connect an output to several inputs, but not the same input to several outputs.

• Within the same program path you may not connect an output to an upstream input. For such internal recursions you should interconnect memory markers or outputs.

IDEC SmartRelay Manual

Rule 3 Cursor and cursor movement

The following applies when you edit a circuit program:

• You can move the cursor when it appears in the form of an underscore:

- Press , , ▼ or ▲ to move the cursor in the circuit

▲

program.

- Press OK to change to "Select connector/block"

- Press ESC to exit programming mode.

• You select a connector/block

• when the cursor appears as solid square

- Press ▼ or ▲ to select a connector or a block.

- Confirm with OK.

- Press ESC to return to the previous step.

Rule 4 Planning

• Before you start to create a circuit program, you should either first create design on paper or program IDEC SmartRelay directly using WindLGC.

• IDEC SmartRelay can only save complete and faultless circuit programs.

Input/output status is ‘1’: inverted Input/output status is ’0’: not inverted

In this example, only the inputs I1, I15, Q8 and Q12 are set ‘high’.

What is meant by: "IDEC SmartRelay is in RUN"?

In RUN mode, IDEC SmartRelay executes the circuit program. To do so, IDEC SmartRelay first reads the status at the inputs, determines the status of the outputs by means of the user program, and switches these on or off according to your settings.

This is how IDEC SmartRelay indicates the I/O status:

Status indication on the display

Let us examine this, using our example:

2..01234

IDEC SmartRelay Manual 69

0.. 123456789

1..0123456

When switch S1 is closed, the status at input I1 is hi.

IDEC SmartRelay computes the output states by means of the circuit program.

Output Q1 = ’1’, in this case.

When Q1 = ’1’, IDEC SmartRelay sets relay Q1, and the load connected to Q1 is supplied with voltage.

Programming IDEC SmartRelay

You already know the first part of the circuit. S1 and S2 switch a relay, which is to be used to switch on the load E1, and to switch off the load with a delay of 12 minutes.

3.7 Memory space and circuit dimensions

The size of a circuit program in IDEC SmartRelay is limited by the memory space (memory used by the blocks).

Memory areas

• Program memory: IDEC SmartRelay allows only a limited number of blocks in your circuit program. The second limitation is based on the maximum number of bytes a circuit program may contain. The total number of bytes used can be determined by adding up the number of bytes used for the relevant function blocks.

• Retentive memory (Rem): In this area, IDEC SmartRelay stores process variables which need to be retentive, e.g. the hours counter value. Blocks with optional retentivity use this memory area only if this function is actually enabled.

Fig. 2

Caution

At a power failure, the logical input level may drop to zero before IDEC SmartRelay can save the functions to the retentive memory. In this case, the IDEC SmartRelay saves the function values determined by the zero state at its inputs of the inputs.

Example: On-delay With an input (I1) connected to a Trg connector of an On-delay FB as shown in Fig.1, if I1 is ON and the IDEC SmartRelay power is turned off and on, the timer current value of the On-delay FB is sometimes reset as shown in Fig.2.

Other FBs are shown below.

• Function blocks whose timer current value is sometimes reset. Off-delay, On-delay, On-/Off-delay, Retentive on-delay, Interval time-delay relay/Pulse output, Edge-triggered interval timedelay relay, Operating hours counter, Asynchronous pulse generator, Stairwell Light Switch, Dual-function switch

• Function blocks whose output is sometimes set or reset when input (I*) is connected to a S(R) connector with NOT. Latching relay, Current impulse relay

Utilization of memory areas

An indication of insufficient memory space is given, when the system does not allow you to add a further block to your circuit program. IDEC SmartRelay offers you only the blocks for which it can provide sufficient memory space. If IDEC SmartRelay memory space is insufficient to hold any further blocks you select from a block list, the system will deny access to this list.

If memory space is fully occupied, optimize your circuit program, or install a second IDEC SmartRelay.
