Note to User

When using the Visual KV Series in the following conditions or environments, be sure to use the Visual KV Series with sufficient margin regarding the rating and functions, take appropriate safety precautions such as fail-safe, and contact our sales personnel if any questions arise.

• Use in conditions or environments not described in this manual

• Use for nuclear power control, railway facilities, air service facilities, vehicles, combustion devices, medical equipment, amusement machines, safety equipment, etc.

• Use for applications where large effects are predicted to be given on human lives and properties and safety is especially requested.

Restriction on Acquiring the CE Marking

■ Restriction to be compatible with EMC directives

• When using a relay output type unit (whose model name ends with "R"), connect spark killers having the appropriate withstand voltage against the load to the output terminals in parallel to contacts (because the unit discharges when a relay contact becomes open and noise is generated). In our experiments, we use the following models of spark killers.

XEB0101 0.1 µF-10 Ω manufactured by OKAYA DENKI SANGYO

The following 1-turn ferrite core is added to the AC power input circuit of the KV40AR/T, the KV-24AR/T and to the DC power input circuit of the KV-40DR/T.

ZCAT3035-1330 manufactured by TDK

Note: The contents above do not by themselves ensure that the entire machine manufactured in accordance with the above contents is compatible with EMC directives.

You must judge by yourself whether or not the entire machine is compatible with EMC directives because compatibility may change depending on the component configuration, wiring and location inside of the machine.

■ Restriction on compatibility with low-voltage directives (IEC-1010-1)

• Use insulated type crimp-style terminals.

• For wiring materials, use lead wires whose sheath is 0.4 mm or more.

• The Visual KV Series is allowed to be installed in a vertical position only. (Spacers for expansion units are not available.)

• Be sure to use the Visual KV Series inside the control panel.

Features of the Visual KV Series

● Extremely small

The Visual KV Series is the smallest in the world among AC type PLCs equipped with screw terminal blocks, and saves installation space.

● Extremely fast

The minimum scan time is 140 µs and minimum instruction execution time is 0.7 µs, which is the fastest control in its class.

● AC power built-in type newly added

AC power built-in type units are newly added. This type can be used in small spaces where a switching power supply unit cannot be installed.

● Excellent Access Window

An Access Window with two-color backlight is adopted in all models to facilitate changing and monitoring of device data. Changing between RUN mode and PROGRAM mode, checking the error code when an error has occurred, etc. can be performed in a Visual KV Series unit without the need for any handheld programmer. The analog trimmer, which has been popular in the conventional KV Series, is digitized to enable more detail settings. [Digital trimmers]

● User message setting function

In the Access Window, 256 different user messages can be displayed. This function can be used to give instructions on works on the production line, indicate abnormalities in the units, etc.

● Program write in RUN mode

Ladder programs can be changed even while the system is running.

● Equipped with two serial ports

Visual KV Series basic units are equipped with two serial ports to connect peripheral units, improving the debug environment. (The KV-10xx is equipped with only one serial port.)

● Easy Ramp-up/down control function

The one-axis motor control function is offered separately from high-speed counters so that feedback control is enabled.

● Equipped with two 24-bit high-speed 30 kHz, two-phase counters

The Visual KV Series is equipped with two high-speed counters each with a twopoint comparator output function that enables high-speed encoder input.

● Specified frequency pulse output function

High-speed counters can function as pulse oscillators of 50 kHz maximum with easy setting, without creating a complicated ladder program.

● Frequency counter function

High-speed counters can function as frequency counters with easy setting, without creating complicated ladder programs.

● Cam switch function

High-speed counters can function as cam switches with easy setting, without creating complicated ladder programs.

(3)

● Interrupt function

The Visual KV Series is equipped with four high-speed interrupt inputs of 10 µs maximum.

● Input time constant change function

The time constant can be set in 7 steps from 10 µs to 10 ms.

● Double memory backup functions

In addition to a conventional SRAM battery backup function, the Visual KV Series is also equipped with an EEPROM backup function.

Compatibility with Conventional KV Series Peripheral Units

The Visual KV Series functions as a high-end compatible model of the conventional KV Series. Peripheral units of the conventional KV Series such as the ladder support software "KV IncrediWare (DOS)" and "LADDER BUILDER for KV" and the handheld programmer KV-P3E(01) can be used since they are part of the Visual KV Series. However, it should be noted that the contents have changed as follows.

• The internal clock cycle of high-speed counters consists of three types: 1 µs, 10 µs, and 100 µs.

• The time constant for an input relay specified by the HSP instruction is 10 µs.

• The analog trimmer function is set with the Access Window built into the basic unit.

• The available device setting range of the TMIN instruction is from 0 to 65535. [Handheld programmer KV-P3E(01) can display 0 to 9999 .]

• The RUN/PROGRAM LED is displayed in the Access Window provided on the front face of the basic unit.

• Transistor output is not independent, but is common.

• With the transistor type, the output terminal layout is different.

• The specifications for output current of transistor outputs Nos. 500 to 502 is 100 mA.

• Conventional KV Series expansion units are not available as expansion units for the Visual KV Series.

• The channel setting switch is not provided for expansion units. Channels are determined in connection order.

• Scans in expansion I/O units are not synchronous with the scan time in Visual KV Series basic units.

• Assignment of special utility relays has partially changed.

• Data memory device Nos. DM1000 to DM1999 are assigned as special data memories.

(4)

Cautions when using the previous version of ladder support software

Pay strict attention to the following items when using the ladder support software.

• When using the ladder support software "KV IncrediWare (DOS)" or "LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x", set the model to "KV-300".

• DM0 to DM1999 are only available.

CAUTION

When the ladder support software "LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x" is used, do not use the monitor’s Change All function. If the Change All function is used, the basic unit may be damaged. Never use the Change All function.

Peripheral units and other units incompatible with the Visual KV Series

Peripheral units in the conventional KV Series and other units shown below are not compatible with the Visual KV Series.

• Expansion I/O units for the conventional KV Series: KV-8ER/8ET/8EX/16EX/ 8EYR/8EYT/16EYR/16EYT

• Analog I/O units for the conventional KV Series: KV-AD4/DA4

Cautions when Using the Serial Port

The KV-16xx/24xx/40xx units are equipped with two RJ-11 modular connectors for serial communication. When using them, pay strict attention to the following contents:

• Programs can be transferred and monitored using either communication port A or B. However, never connect the ladder software and a handheld programmer to the two ports at the same time.

• The KV-D20 operator interface panel can be connected to either communication port A or B. However, only one KV-D20 unit can be connected to a single basic unit.

• Never leave both the KV-D20 operator interface panel and KV-P3E(01) handheld programmer on simultaneously for a long period of time.

1.1 Before Creating Programs

This section describes what you should know before creating programs and operations for the Visual KV Series.

1.1.1 Flow from Introduction to Operation

This section describes an overview of program creation procedures, functions used, and setting items. In the example described below, a latch circuit is created as a program for the Visual KV Series.

Introduction

Examining contents of operations

Figure 1 shows a latch circuit which operates as follows.

Pushbutton switch PB1: ON Pushbutton switch PB2: OFF

Pushbutton switch PB1: OFF Pushbutton switch PB2: OFF

Pushbutton switch PB1: OFF Pushbutton switch PB2: ON

Time chart

OFF

Next, a program is created that will use the same operation as this circuit to control a PLC.

Program examination

Circuit 1 shows relay symbols for the latch circuit. Examine which contact in the Visual KV Series is used for each pushbutton switch and pilot lamp (Table 1). When many I/O devices are required for control, expansion units should also be considered.

Operation

1.1.2 Scan Time

12 3

Scan time

The Visual KV Series repeatedly executes a ladder based on the sequence circuit as follows.

Input processing

Program execution

1.1 Before Creating Programs

Writes the ON/OFF status of all input terminals to the input memory before executing the program.

Reads the ON/OFF status of each device (internal utility relay, timer, counter, etc.) based on the instructions, and performs arithmetic operations. Writes the arithmetic operation result to the output memory.

Output processing

Outputs the contents of the output memory to output terminals.

The duration of time required to perform one cycle is called the scan time (or cycle time). The scan time varies based on program size and the instructions used in the program.

Input response time delay

In addition to the I/O processing time, there is also an input time delay in the Visual KV Series caused by the scan time. The input time delay is generated because the input status can only be read during the input processing time. If the input status is changed after input processing, the changed contents can only be read during the next scan time.

In the figure below, 1 and 2 can be read but 3 cannot be read.

Scan time

Reference: The maximum and minimum values of the input response time are as follows.

Maximum value: Input time constant + Scan time x 2 + Output response delay time

Minimum value: Input time constant + Scan time + Output response delay time

Note 1: When the input time constant is made small by setting the HSP instruction, special utility relay 2813, and data memory DM1940, a signal may not be received if its ON time is shorter than the scan time.

Note 2: The INT instruction is independent of the scan time. Note 3: The minimum scan time is 140 µs (with the basic unit).

1.2 User Memory

This section describes the allowable size (capacity) of a program which can be created in the Visual KV Series.

1.2.1 Program Capacity

When a user program is created for the Visual KV Series, the maximum number of steps a program can contain using the mnemonic diagram varies based on the byte count of the instructions used. The instruction byte count is determined individually for each instruction.

➮

For more about byte counts for each instruction, refer to "2.1 Instruction List" (p.3-34).

Maximum number of lines in a program

In the KV-10xx/16xx, a program with approximately 2,000 steps can be written. In the KV-24xx/40xx, a program with approximately 4,000 steps can be written.

• Total byte count of the memory used by instructions bytes

• Total byte count of the memory used by objects of instructions

bytes / 24,000 bytes

* In the description above, a value on the left side indicates the byte count for

the KV-10xx/16xx, while a value on the right side indicates the byte count for the KV-24xx/40xx.

* The memory occupied by objects indicates the memory required to execute a

program when operation is started.

For example, the allowable number of steps to be written can be calculated from the memory occupied by the instructions as follows.

12,000 bytes / 3 bytes (average byte count of an instruction) = 4,000 steps

Note: If either the memory occupied by the instructions or the memory occupied by

objects of a program exceeds the specified memory capacity, the program cannot be written or executed.

≤ 6,000 bytes / 12,000

≤ 12,000

Calculating the byte count used

The byte count used in this program can be calculated as shown in the table below.
