ENERAL INFORMATION
Features
This section describes the features of the SmartAXIS.
The SmartAXIS is high-performance programma ble controller in a compact package and is equipped with high speed counters that
can be used for positioning control. The SmartAXIS enables you to build optimum systems to automate factories or control
production lines.
Powerful HMI Functions
The SmartAXIS Pro is equipped with an LCD on the front of the module, enabling you to monitor the device values and the ladde r
program. Customized messages can be programmed to display current time, bar charts, scrolling messages, or simple text on the
LCD. The operation buttons on the module are used for oper ations with LCD such as checking and modifying device values.
Powerful Communication Functions
The SmartAXIS supports various communications such as maintenance communication, user communication, Modbus
communication, and remote I/O.
The SmartAXIS is equipped with RS232C (optional), RS485 (optional), an Ethernet port, and a USB port, and can be connected to
various devices such as computers, operator interfaces, and printers.
Memory Cartridge
A user program of SmartAXIS can be stored in a memory cartridge (FT1A-PM1). When a memory cartridge is inserted into a
SmartAXIS, the user program in the memory cartridge is executed instead of the user program in the SmartAXIS. You can also
download the user program in a memory cartridge to the SmartAXIS.
SD Memory Card
The 40- and 48-I/O types are equipped with an SD memory card slot. The log data of device values can be saved to an optional SD
memory card (HG9Z-XMS2) or a commercial ly available SD memory card (32 GB maximum).
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).
Safety and High-Quality Compliant with International Standards
The SmartAXIS is compliant with international standards and can be used all over the world while maintaining safety and high
quality.
Supports 9 Languages
The SmartAXIS LCD supports the display of the following nine languages:
This section describes the functions of the SmartAXIS.
I/O Related Functions
Catch Input
The catch input receives short input pulses from sensors without regard to the scan time. A maximum of 6 catch inputs can be
used.
Input Filter
The input filter can be adjusted, according to the width of input signals, to reject input noises. Selectable input filter v alues to pass
input signals are 0ms, and 3 through 15ms in 1ms increments. The input filter rejects inputs shorter than the selected input filter
value minus 2ms. This function is useful for eliminating input noises and chatter in limit switches.
Interrupt Input
The interrupt input can be used to call an interrupt program to respond to an external input that requires a response faster than
the scan time. A maximum of six interrupt inputs can be used. This can only be used when ladder program is selected as the
programming language.
Stop and Reset Inputs
Stop input is a function to stop SmartAXIS operation. Reset input is a function to stop SmartAXIS operation and clear device
values. Any input terminal on the SmartAXIS can be designated as a stop or reset input to control the SmartAXIS operation.
Remote I/O
When the number of SmartAXIS inputs and outputs is insufficient, the number of inputs and outputs can be expanded to a
maximum of 192 points by connecting additional SmartAXIS as remote I/O slaves over Ethernet. With the remote I/O function, the
analog inputs on the SmartAXIS that are connected as remote I/O slaves can also be used.
Analog Input
Analog input of 0 to 10V DC can be converted to a digital value of 0 to 1000. A maximum of eight inputs can be used as analog
inputs (not including remote I/O slaves analog inputs).
Forced I/O
The inputs and outputs of the SmartAXIS can be forced on or off. This function can be used to check the I/O wiring or the user
program operation.
Pulse I/O Functions
High-speed Counter
This function counts high-speed pulse inputs that cannot be measured in normal user program processing.
Use this function for applications such as positioning control with a rotary encoder or motor control. The SmartAXIS can use single-
phase high-speed counters and two-phase high-speed counters. A maximum of six single-phase high-speed counters and a
maximum of two two-phase high-speed counters can be used simultaneously.
Example: Controlling a motor by counting two-phase pulse input with a high-speed counter

ENERAL INFORMATION
Positioning Control
The SmartAXIS can perform positioning control with pulse outputs. The SmartAXIS features the PULS instructions that can
generate pulse outputs with configured frequency at the fixed pulse width ratio, pulse-width modulation (PWM) instructions that
can generate pulse outputs with configured pulse width ratio at a fixed frequency, RAMP instructions for trapezoidal control, ZRN
instructions for zero return operation, and ARAMP instructions that can generate pulse outputs according to a table in which the
changes of the frequency are configured.
Example: Pulse output by the RAMP instruction
Frequency Measurement
This function measures the frequency of pulses input to an input terminal. The frequencies of a maximum of six inputs can be
measured.
Convenient Functions
Calendar/Clock
The SmartAXIS features a real-time clock on-board. Using the calendar and clock function, the SmartAXIS can operate according
to the current date and time. These functions can be used to control a time schedule for lighting or air conditioning equipments.
User Program Read/Write Protection
The user program in the SmartAXIS 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.
“Keep” or “Clear” Designation of SmartAXIS Data
Internal relays, shift register bits, counter current values, and data register values can be designated to be kept or cleared when
the SmartAXIS is powered down. All or a specified range of these devices can be designated as keep or clear types.
RUN/STOP Selection at Startup when “Keep” Data is Lost
When the backup battery is dead, all data to be kept are lost. The user can select whether the SmartAXIS starts to run or not to
prevent undesirable operation at the startup.
Log Data
Device values of the SmartAXIS can be saved as CSV files on the SD memory card. The DLOG instruction saves device values to
the SD memory card. The TRACE instruction accumulates device values at each scan and saves them to the SD memory card at
the desired timing.
Constant Scan Time
The variations in scan time that occur when the user program is running can be made constant.
Timer Interrupt
The timer interrupt can be used to call an interrupt program at a predetermined interval of time without being affected by the scan
time. This can only be used when ladder program is selected as the programming language.

Data Register ROM Backup
This section describes data register ROM backup.
Data Register ROM Backup Overview
Data register ROM backup is a function to write data register values to ROM (non-volatile memory), and then read the values in
ROM and store them in data registers at the desired timing. The SmartAXIS stores the device values using an internal backup
battery (lithium secondary battery). However, if the backup battery is dead due to a long term power loss, a memory backup err o r
will occur and the device values will be lost. In this situation, if you use data register ROM backup, you can initialize the data
registers with the values backed up in ROM. When a memory cartridge is installed, data is written to and read from the memory
cartridge.
*1 When you use the Lite and a memory cartridge is not installed on the Lite, data register ROM backup cannot be used.

M8154
M8155
When M8154 is on at the end of scan, the values of all data registers are written to ROM. After all values are written,
the execution status is stored in D8133 and M8154 turns off.
When M8155 is on at the end of scan, the values in the corresponding ROM are read and stored to the data registers
specified by D8184 (starting address to read) and D8185 (number of registers to read). After all values are read, the
execution status is stored in D8133 and M8155 turns off.

DeviceDescription
Stores the execution status for writing and reading.
1: Processing
2: Normal termination
3: Cannot access ROM
The following are possible causes:
• The memory cart ridge is not properly installed.
• The ROM of Pro or the memory cartridge installed has failure.
D8133
D8184
D8185
Note: When M8154 and M8155 are on in the scan end, writing and reading are executed in that order. After executing the read, the execution
status is stored in D8133, and M8154 and M8155 turn off.
• On the Lite, re ading or writing is executed when the memory cartridge is not installed.
4: Invalid values are stored in D8184 (starting address to read) and D8185 (number of registers to read)
This error occurs when reading values. The following are possible causes:
• The number of registers to read is 0.
• The start address to read exceeds the largest data register address.
• The start address to read + the number of registers to read exceeds the largest data register address.
5: Valid data could not be read from ROM
This error occurs when reading. The follo wing are possible causes:
• No values are stored in the ROM.
• Writing values did not finish for a reason such as the power was turned off while writing values.
Stores the start address of the data registers to read.
The value that can be specified is 0 to 399 for the 12-I/O type and 0 to 1999 for the 24-, 40-, 48-I/O types.
Stores the number of data registers to read.
The value that can be specified is 1 to 400 for the 12-I/O type and 1 to 2000 for the 24-, 40-, 48-I/O types.

Function Description
Writing the data register values to ROM
When M8154 is on at the end of scan, the values of all of the data registers are written to ROM. After writing values, the execution
status is stored in D8133 and M8154 turns off.
Example: 12-I/O model
Example: 24-, 40-, 48-I/O model

PECIAL FUNCTIONS
Reading the data register values from ROM
When M8155 turns on at the end of scan, the values in the corresponding ROM are read and stored in the data registers specified
by D8184 (start address to read) and D8185 (number of registers to read). After reading values, the execution status is stored in
D8133 and M8155 turns off.
Example 1: When reading the values of D0100 to D0179 (80 words) with a 12-I/O model, specify D8184=(100) and D8185=(80),
and then turn on M8155.
