cation of these networks are expanding at a fast pace, the OpenNet Controller is ideal for use in multi-vendor control systems.
In addition, the OpenNet Controller has user communication functions to communicate with various communication
equipment. Modem communication is also very easy using the built-in modem communication functions to communicate
with remote devices through telephone lines. For these communication applications, the OpenNet Controller CPU module
features two RS232C ports and one RS485 port.
User programs for the OpenNet Controller can be edited using WindLDR on a W indows PC. Since WindLDR can load existing user programs made for IDEC’s preceding PLCs such as all FA series, MICRO-1, MICRO3, and MICRO
ware assets can be used in the new control system.

Features
Connect to Open Networks
The OpenNet Controller can be connected to the three major open networks; INTERBUS, DeviceNet, and LONWORKS.
The versatile communication capabilities reduce the time and cost needed when constructing, expanding, or modifying
production lines. Maintenance for communication lines will also become even easier.
Master Station (Remote I/O)INTERBUS
Slave StationDeviceNet, L
High-performance CPU Module
The OpenNet Controller CPU module has multiple functions to work as a brain of the control system connected to the
open networks. Optimum control systems can be made possible using the OpenNet Controller.
Powerful Communication Functions
In addition to connection to the open networks, the OpenNet Controller features three more communication functions.
User Communication
Data Link
Computer Link
The OpenNet Controller can be linked to external RS232C devices such as computers,
modems, printers, and barcode readers, using the user communication function.
One OpenNet Controller at the master station can communicate with 31 slave stations
through the RS485 line to exchange data and perform distributed control effectively.
When the OpenNet Controller 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. A maximum of 32 OpenNet Controller CPUs can
be connected to one computer in the 1:N computer link system.
The OpenNet Controller features various special functions packed in the small housing as described below. For details
about these functions, see the following chapters.
“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 of these data or a specified range of these operands can be designated as keep or clear
types.
Catch Input Function
The catch input function makes sure to receive short input pulses (rising pulse of 40 µsec or falling pulse of 150 µsec minimum) from sensors without regard to the scan time.
Input Filter Function
The input filter can be adjusted for the pulse widths to accept or reject input signals. This function is useful for eliminating
input noises and chatter in limit switches.
High-speed Counter Function
The OpenNet Controller has a built-in high-speed counter to make it possible to count up to 65,535 (FFFFh) high-speed
pulses which cannot be counted by the normal user program processing. The maximum count input frequency is 10 kHz.
This function can be used for simple positioning control and simple motor control.
Key Matrix Function
A matrix configuration consisting of 16 inputs and 16 outputs enables to read a maximum of 256 input signals.
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.
Week Programmer Function
Week programmer instructions can be programmed to compare the preset date and time with the internal realtime calendar/clock. When the preset values are reached, designated outputs can be turned on and off as programmed for the week.
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.
Module ID Registration
Another protection method to run or stop operation is the module ID registration. When disparity is found between the
module ID registration and actual modules in the system setup, the CPU can be made to start to run or not.
User Memory Download from Memory Card
A user program can be transferred using WindLDR from a computer to a miniature memory card. The handy miniature card
can be inserted into the CPU module to download the user program. User programs can be replaced without the need for
connecting to a computer. This feature is available on CPU modules FC3A-CP2KM and FC3A-CP2SM.
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.
Keep Output Status during User Program Download
Outputs can be designated to maintain the current statuses when downloading a user program from WindLDR to the CPU.
This function can be used when the output status change does not occur frequently.
Stop and Reset Inputs
Any input number can be designated as a stop or reset input to control the OpenNet Controller operation.
This section describes various system setup configurations for using powerful communication functions of the OpenNet
Controller
Open Network Communication System
The OpenNet Controller can be connected to three open network communication lines — DeviceNet, LONWORKS, and
INTERBUS.
OpenNet interface modules are available for communication through DeviceNet and LONWORKS networks. The OpenNet
interface modules, such as DeviceNet slav e modules and LONWORKS interface modules, serv e as a sla ve station or node in
the network.
A remote I/O system can be set up using a remote I/O master module mounted next to the CPU module and SX5S communication I/O terminals at remote I/O slave stations. When using 32 SX5S modules with 16 input or output points, a total of
512 I/O points can be distributed to 32 remote s lave stations at the maximum. The remote I/O network uses the INTERBUS protocol for communication. The total cable length can be 12.8 km (7.95 miles) maximum.
One remote I/O master module can be mounted with the
seven functional modules including OpenNet interface modules and analog I/O modules can be mounted with one Open-

The OpenNet Controller CPU module has two RS232C ports and one RS485 port to control two RS232C devices and one
RS485 device such as IDEC’s HG series operator interface at the same time.
The figure below illustrates a system setup of remote I/O and user communication. In this example, the I/O statuses of a
remote machine are transferred through the remote I/O line to the CPU. The data received through modems is monitored
on a computer and also sent to a pager transmitter.
For details about the remote I/O system, see page 24-1.
For details about the modem mode, see page 23-1.
When the OpenNet Controller is connected to a computer, operating status and I/O status can be monitored on the computer, data in the CPU module can be monitored or updated, and user programs can be downloaded and uploaded. A maximum of 32 OpenNet Controller CPU modules can be connected to one computer in the 1:N computer link system.
