Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
medium or slight personal injury or physical damage.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
Create a safety circuit outside the programmable controller to ensure the whole system will operate
safely even if an external power failure or a programmable controller failure occurs.
Otherwise, incorrect output or malfunction may cause an accident.
(1) For an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit and interlock circuit that is designed for
incompatible actions such as forward/reverse rotation or for damage prevention such as the
upper/lower limit setting in positioning, any of them must be created outside the programmable
controller.
Install the emergency stop switch outsid the controlpanel so that workers can operate it easily.
(2) When the programmable controller detects the following error conditions, it stops the operation
and turn off all the outputs.
• The overcurrent protection device or overvoltage protection device of the power supply
module is activated.
• The programmable controller CPU detects an error such as a watchdog timer error by the
self-diagnostics function.
In the case of an error of a part such as an I/O control part that cannot be detected by the
programmable controller CPU, all the outputs may turn on.In order to make all machines
operate safely in such a case, set up a fail-safe circuit or a specific mechanism outside the
programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit example, refer to "LOADING AND
INSTALLATION" in this manual.
(3) Depending on the failure of the output module's relay or transistor, the output status may remain
ON or OFF incorrectly.
For output signals that may lead to a serious accident, create an external monitoring circuit.

[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
DANGER
If load current more than the rating or overcurrent due to a short circuit in the load has flowed in the
output module for a long time, it may cause a fire and smoke.
as a fuse.
Design a circuit so that the external power will be supplied after power-up of the programmable
controller.
Activating the external power supply prior to the programmable controller may result in an accident
due to incorrect output or malfunction.
For the operation status of each station at a communication error in data link, refer to the respective
data link manual.
The communication error may result in an accident due to incorrect output or malfunction.
When controlling a running programmable controller (data modification) by connecting a peripheral
device to the CPU module or a PC to a special function module, create an interlock circuit on
sequence programs so that the whole system functions safely all the time.
Also, before performing any other controls (e.g. program modification, operating status change
(status control)), read the manual carefully and ensure the safety.
In these controls, especially the one from an external device to a programmable controller in a
remote location, some programmable controller side problem may not be resolved immediately due
to failure of data communications.
To prevent this, create an interlock circuit on sequence programs and establish corrective
procedures for communication failure between the external device and the programmable controller
CPU.
Provide an external safety device such
When setting up the system, do not allow any empty slot on the base unit.
If any slot is left empty, be sure to use a blank cover (A1SG60) or a dummy module (A1SG62) for it.
When using the extension base unit, A1S52B(S1), A1S55B(S1) or A1S58B(S1), attach the included
dustproof cover to the module in slot 0.
Otherwise, internal parts of the module may be flied in the short circuit test or when an overcurrent or
overvoltage is accidentally applied to the external I/O section.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit or power lines,
or bring them close to each other.
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94inch) or more between them.
Failure to do so may cause malfunctions due to noise.
When an output module is used to control the lamp load, heater, solenoid valve, etc., a large current
(ten times larger than the normal one) may flow at the time that the output status changes from OFF
to ON. Take some preventive measures such as replacing the output module with the one of a
suitable current rating.

USER PRECAUTIONS
Precautions when using the AnS series
For a new CPU module, which has never used before, the contents of built-in RAM and
device data are undefined.
Make sure to clear the built-in RAM memory (PLC memory all clear) in the CPU module by
peripheral devices and operate latch clear by RUN/STOP key switches.
Precautions for battery
(1) The operation after a battery is unmounted and the programmable controller is stored.
When reoperating after a battery is uncounted and the programmable controller is
stored, the contents of built-in RAM and device data may be undefined.
For this reason, make sure to clear the built-in RAM memory (PLC memory all clear) in
the CPU module by peripheral devices and operate latch clear by RUN/STOP key
switches before start the operation again.
After the built-in RAM clear and latch clear of the CPU module, write the backed-up
memory contents to the CPU module before saving.
(2) The operation after excess of a battery life
If a battery exceeded its guaranteed life is stored and reoperated, the contents of built-in
RAM and device data may be undefined.
For this reason, make sure to clear the built-in RAM memory (PLC memory all clear) in
the CPU module by peripheral devices and operate latch clear by RUN/STOP key
switches before start the operation again.
After the built-in RAM clear and latch clear of the CPU module, write the backed-up
memory contents to the CPU module before saving.
*
*
POINT
Make sure to back up each memory contents before storing the programmable
controller.
* Refer to the following manuals for details of built-in RAM clear (PLC memory all clear) by periph-
eral devices.

1. OVERVIEW
1 OVERVIEW
This user's manual describes the functions, specification, and handling of the A1SJHCPU
general purpose programmable controller (abbreviated as A1SJHCPU from here on),
A1SJHCPU-S8 general purpose programmable controller (abbreviated as A1SJHCPUS8), A1SHCPU general purpose PLC (abbreviated as A1SHCPU), A2SHCPU general
purpose PLC (abbreviated as A2SHCPU), and A2SHCPU-S1 general purpose PLC
(abbreviated as A2SHCPU-S1).
A1SHCPU and A1SJHCPU are grouped as A1SHCPU, unless there is necessity to
identify each model.
Also, A1SHCPU, A2SHCPU and A2SHCPU-S1 are grouped as AnSHCPU, unless there
is necessity to identify each model.
The AnSHCPU is a compact-type building block programmable controller. The model is
one third the size of the conventional building block type programmable controller, and
allows easy operation in spite of its small size.
Sequence programs that have been created for the existing A0J2CPU, A0J2HCPU and
A NCPU models can be used by changing the CPU module type specification for the
program. Moreover, since modules for use with A NCPU can be used by installing them
on an extension base unit for A NCPU use, it is possible to extend the functions of an
AnSCPU.
This user's manual refers to peripheral devices by using the following abbreviations.
A6GPP, A6PHP, PC/AT (started up with SW IVD-GPPA)
......................................................... Abbreviated as "GPP function".
A7PUS, A8PUE .............................. Abbreviated as "PU".

1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Features
(1) High-speed operation processing speed
Compared to the conventional A1SCPU, the A1SHCPU is three times and A2SHCPU
(S1) is four times faster in the operation processing speed, respectively.
Item A1SHCPU A2SHCPU(S1) A1SCPU
Operation processing speed
*1 I/O processing: Refresh and LD instruction
*1
0.33 s 0.25 s 1 s
(2) Addition of new dedicated instructions
The CC-Link dedicated instructions (8 instructions) have been added, making the
operation even easier.
(3) Increased number of I/O device points
The actual number of I/O points is the same as the AnS series, but each CPU has
2048 points (X/Y0 to X/Y7FF) of I/O devices.
The added I/O device can be used as the MELSECNET (/B), MELSECNET/MINI-S3,
or CC-Link.
(4) Increased file register R capacity
The capacity is now max. 8192 points (R0 to R8191), which doubled the AnS series'
4096 points (R0 to R4095).
(5) Increased memory capacity (Increased number of comment points)
The A1SHCPU has 64 k bytes, which doubled the A1SCPU's 32 k bytes.
This increased the number of comment points stored in the CPU module 3648 points
in comparison to the 1600 points in A1SCPU.
(6) Full compatibility with A1S(S1)/A2SCPU(S1)
Because there is full compatibility of the functions and instructions with A1S(S1)/
A2SCPU(S1), all software packages can be used.
In addition, power supply module, base unit, and I/O modules can be used.
(7) Compact size
The appearance of the AnSHCPU system with one power supply module, one CPU,
and eight 16-point I/O modules for use with AnS mounted to the main base unit are:
430mm (16.9in.) (W); 130mm (5.12in.) (H); and 110mm (4.33in.) (D).
(8) Max. 8 k/14 k steps of program
An A1SHCPU allows the creation of a sequence program up to 8k steps, an
A2SHCPU(S1) allows up to 14k steps.
In addition, microcomputer programs and utility programs created by the user can be
used.
1 - 2
OVERVIEW1.
(9) SFC language compatible
An AnSCPU contains a microcomputer program area, so an SFC program can be
used.
(10) Two extension connectors, on the right and left sides. (A1SHCPU,A2SHCPU(S1))
In order to facilitate wiring wherever the extension base unit is installed, extension
connectors are provided at both left and right sides of the AnSHCPU and extension
cables that suit the requirements imposed by different mounting locations are
available.
* A1SJHCPU(S8) on the right side only
(11) Use either screws or DIN rail for panel installations
The AnS base unit is provided both with screw holes and, on its rear face, the fixture
for mounting it to a DIN rail.
(12) Easy-to-see terminal block symbol sheet
• A terminal block symbol sheet is attached to the front of AnS I/O modules.
AnSHCPU writes I/O device numbers, connector numbers, etc. on one side of the
sheet.
• Terminal symbols for 16 I/O signals can be written on the other side.
(13) A N, A A-series I/O module and special function module compatible
By connecting an A N, A A-series extension base unit, A N, A A I/O
modules or special function modules can be used.
(14) Same programming environment as other MELSEC-A CPU modules
A sequence program can be created using the peripheral device currently used for
other MELSEC-A CPU modules. For details on the applicable peripheral devices,
refer to Section 2.2 "Precautions when Configuring the System".
