[DESIGN PRECA UTION S]
!
DANGER
Install a safety circuit external to the PC that keeps the entire system safe even when there are problems with the external power supply or the PC main module. Otherwise, trouble could result from erroneous output or malfunction.
(1) Configure the following circuits outside the PC: emergency stop circuit, protection circuit,
interlocking circuit for opposite operations such as forward and reverse operations, and interlocking circuit for machine damage prevention such as upper/lower limit for positioning.
(2) When the PC detects the following problems, it will stop calculation and turn off all output.
The power supply module has an over current protection device and over voltage protection device.
The PC CPUs self-diagnostic functions, such as the watchdog timer error, detect problems.
In addition, all output will be turned on when there are problems that the PC CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller. Build a failsafe circuit exterior to the PC that will make sure the equipment operates safely at such times.
Refer to the Section 8.1 in this manual for example failsafe circuits.
(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the output module’s relay or transistor.
So, build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any single output that could cause serious trouble.
If current over the rating or over-current due to a load short-circuit flows for a long term, it may cause smoke or fire. Prepare an external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply when the PC main module power supply is turned on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in erroneous output or malfunction.
[DESIGN PRECA UTION S]
!
DANGER
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply after the PLC main module power is turned
on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in accidents due to erroneous outputs or a malfunction.
When there are communication faulty with the data link, the communication faulty stat ion will
enter the following condition. Build an interlock circuit into t he PLC program t hat w ill make sure the system operates safely by using the communication state information. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or malfunction. (1) For the data link data, the data prior t o the communicat ion error will be held. (2) The MELSECNET (II, /B, /10) remote I/O station will turn all output off. (3) The MELSECNET/MINI-S3 remote I/O station will hold the output or turn all output off
depending on the E.C. mode setting. Refer to manuals for corresponding data link system for how to detect the communication faulty station and the operation status when a communication error occurred.
When configuring a system, do not leave any slots vacant on the base. Should there be any
vacant slots, always use a blank cover (A1SG60) or dummy module (A1SG62). If the cover is not attached, the module's internal parts may be dispersed w hen a short-circuit test is performed or overcurrent/overvoltage is accidentally applied to the external I/O area.
!
CAUTION
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cable with the main circuit or power wires, or
install them close to each other. They should be installed 100mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause malfunction.
When controlling items like lamp load, heater or solenoid valve using an out put module, large
current (approximately ten times greater than that present in normal circumstances) may flow when the output is turned OFF having sufficient rated current.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Use the PLC in the environment given in the general specification section of the manual.
Using the PLC outside the range of the general specifications may result in electric shock, fire, or malfunction or may damage or degrade the product.
Before mounting the module, securely insert the projection at the bottom of the module into the
fixing hole on the base module. (The AnS series module must be tightened to the base module at the specified tightening torque.) An improperly mounted module may result in malfunct ion, failur e, or falling. Excessive screw tightening may cause falling due to the breakage of the screw or module, short-circuit, or malfunction.
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Tighten the screw within the range of specified torque.
If the screws are loose, it may result in fallout, short circuits, or malfunctions. Tightening the screws too far may cause damage to the screw and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
When installing extension cables, be sure that the base unit and the module connectors are
installed correctly. After installation, check them for looseness. Poor connections could result in erroneous input and erroneous output.
Correctly connect the memory card installation connector to the memory card. After installation,
make sure that the connection is not loose. A poor connection could result in malfunction.
Do not directly touch the module’s conductive parts or electronic components.
Doing so could cause malfunction or failure in the module.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
Completely turn off the external pow er supply when inst alling or w iring. Not completely tu rning
off all power supply could result in electric shock or damage to the product.
When turning on the power or operating the module after installation or wiring work, be sure that
the module’s terminal covers are correctly attached. Not attaching t he terminal covers could result in electric shock.
!
CAUTION
Be sure to ground the FG terminals and LG terminals with a special PLC ground of Type 3 or
above. Not doing so could result in electric shock or malfunction.
When wiring in the PLC, check the rated voltage and terminal layout of the wiring, and make
sure the wiring is done correctly. Connecting a power supply that differs from the rated voltage or wiring it incorrectly may cause fire or breakdown.
Do not connect multiple power supply modules in parallel.
Doing so could cause overheating, fire, or damage to the power supply module.
Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque.
If the terminal screws are loose, it could result in short circuits, fire, or malfunction. Tightening the screws too far may cause damage to the screw and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
Take care so that foreign matter such as chips and wiring scraps do not enter the module as it
could result in fire, trouble or a malfunction.
External connections shall be crimped or pressure welded with the specified tools, or correctly
soldered. For information regarding the crimping and pressure welding tools, refer to the I/O module’s user manual. Imperfect connections could result in short circuit, fires, or malfunction.
[STARTING A ND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
Do not touch the terminals while power is on. Doing so could cause shock or malfunction.
Correctly connect the battery. Also, do not change, disassemble, heat , place in fire, short circuit,
or solder the battery. Mishandling of the battery can cause overheating or cracks which could result in injury and fires.
Make sure to switch all phases of the external power supply off before cleaning or re-tightening
screws. If you do not switch off the ext ernal pow er supply , it will cause electr ic shock. If the screws are loose, it may result in fallout, short circuit, or malfunction. Tightening the screws too far may cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
!
CAUTION
Carefully read manuals and confirm that it is safe enough before performing on-line operations
which require to connect peripheral devices to an operating CPU module. (especially w hen modifying a program, performing forced output, or modifying the operation status.) Misoperation may damage the module or cause accidents.
Do not disassemble or rebuild the module.
It may cause accidents, malfunction, injury, or fire.
When using a cellular phone, keep it 25 cm or more away from the PLC.

1. OVERVIEW MELSEC-A

1. OVERVIEW

This User's Manual describes the performance, functions, and handling method of the A2USHCPU-S1 general purpose PC (abbreviated as A2USHCPU-S1 hereafter), as well as the specifications and handling of the memory cassette, power supply module and the base module.
The A2USHCPU-S1 has higher performance compared with the conventional A2USCPU, with faster instruction processing speed, increased program size, and so on. Utilize these enhanced capabilities to operate the A2USHCPU-S1 in the most efficient way.
The instructions used in the sequence programs of the A2USHCPU-S1 are as follows:
Sequence instructions........................25 instructions
Basic and application instructions ......243 instructions
Dedicated instructions........................204 instructions
Refer to Appendix-1 for the complete list of instructions.
The programming modules and software packages have to be compatible with the upgraded A2UCPU, A2UCPU-S1, A3UCPU, and A4UCPU (abbreviated as AnUCPU hereafter). When the conventional programming modules and software packages are used, the usable range varies depending on the model of the CPU (PC model name). --- Refer to Section 2.2.3.
Refer to the list of components in Section 2.3 for various modules which can be used with the A2USHCPU-S1. Refer to Section 2.2.1 for the special function modules which have limited range of usable devices.

1. OVERVIEW MELSEC-A

1.1 Features

The A2USHCPU-S1 has the following features when compared with A2USCPU(S1) and A1SCPU:
(1) The program size was greatly increased in the A2USHCPU-S1 to a maximum of 30k steps,
compared with 14k steps of the A2USCPU(S1).
(2) The operation speed (sequence instructions) was substantially improved.
The processing speed of the A2USHCPU-S1 has been improved to 0.09µs/step, compared with
0.2µs/step for the A2USCPU.
(3) The A2USHCPU-S1 has 256k bytes of built-in RAM memory.
The built-in RAM memory has a capacity of 256k bytes with battery backup. In addition, an optional memory cassette (EPROM, EEPROM) can be attached.
(4) MELSECNET/10-compatible for fast and large-capacity networking
The MELSECNET/10 network system can be constructed by installing a network module (A1SJ71LP21, A1SJ71BR11) to the extension base module and setting the network parameters. It is also compatible with the MELSECNET II system.
(5) The A2USHCPU-S1 has more points for the I/O devices, link devices, and data registers than
those of the A1SCPU.
I/O device (X/Y)......8192 points (X/Y0 to 1FFF)
Link relay (B) ..........8192 points (B0 to B1FFF)
Link register (W).....8192 points (W0 to W1FFF)
Data register (D)..... 8192 points (D0 to 8191)
(6) The A2USHCPU-S1 can execute the batch processing of the data communication requests.
All of the data communication requests from the A1SJ71UC24-R2, A1SD51S, peripheral devices, and others, can be processed by single END processing. (Normally, one END processing processes one communication request.)
The batch processing of the data communication requests can be activated by selecting "YES" on the "END Batch Processing Setup" in the supplementary function setup of the parameter, or by turning ON the M9029 from the sequence program.
Delay of the data transfer to each module will be prevented by using the batch processing of the data communication requests.
(M9029: When OFF, only one request is processed by one scan.)
(7) The A2USHCPU-S1 can execute the dedicated instructions for the AnA/AnUCPU.
Dedicated instructions for AnA/AnUCPU, AD57 instructions, and PID control instructions can be executed.

)
(c) When a remote I/O network is constructed with the MELSECNET/10 network system,
use the A2USHCPU-S1 software of version "A" or later, and the AJ7ILP21/BR11, A1SJ71LP21/BR11-type network software of version "J" or later.
<Example> For AJ71LP21/BR11:
Software version Hardware version
Front side of the module
REMARK
The special function modules which cannot be used by the A2USHCPU-S1 are as follows:
AJ71C23
AJ71C24 (modules dated before February 1987) • AD51 (modules dated before March 1987)
AD57-S2
Confirm the manufactured date on the rating plate.
(3) Peripheral devices
(a) Use an A6WU P-ROM writer of the hardware version "E" or later.
<Example> If manufactured date is March 1987:
A6WU
DATE H 703
H 703
Software version Hardware version Month Year (The last digit of the year. Indicates A3HCPU-compatible.
(b) The A6WU P-ROM writer module cannot be installed as an add-on to be directly attached to
the A2USHCPU-S1.
(c) Among the programming modules (A7PUS, A8PU, A8UPU), only A7PUS is installed as an
add-on.
Other models (A8PU, A8UPU) use only the hand-held method with a cable.
(4) Writing on the ROM for EPROM memory cassettes
An optional A2SWA-28P memory write adapter is required to write on a ROM for the A2SMCA­14KP EPROM memory cassette using the A6GPP, A6WU, or ROM writer. (The conventional A6WA-28P cannot be used.)
(5) Writing while running when operated by E
When "write while running " to the E
2
PROM is executed, the program transfer in progress status is
2
PROM (with A2SNMCA-30KE installed)
displayed on the peripheral device, then the processing for the sequence program is stopped for approximately two seconds until the transfer finishes to complete the "write while running ".
Because the program processing stops for two seconds, stop the CPU while writing instead of executing the "write while running " if it affects the operation of the controlled device. When "A3A" or "A3H" is specified as the PC's model to startup the GPP function software package which is not AnU-compatible, the "write while running" cannot be executed to the
2
E
PROM. If "write while running" to the E2PROM is executed, the changed circuit block and any PLF instruction included in the steps after the instruction will not operate normally. If the execution condition for the PLF instruction is turned off upon completion of writing, the PLF instruction is executed.
2-4
2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MELSEC-A
(6) Writing while in operation by the E2PROM (with A2SNMCA-30KE installed)
(a) When writing a program to the E
2
PROM after the GPP function software package is started up with the PC's model specified as "A3A" or "A3H", cancel the memory protection of both the A2USHCPU-S1 main module and the memory cassette for the E2PROM (A2SNMCA­30KE) before execution.
(b) The writing of the program cannot be executed from the computer link module or from a
peripheral device connected to other stations on the MELSECNET.
Perform writing of the program from a peripheral device connected to the RS-422 of the A2USHCPU-S1.

2.2.2 Software package

(1) GPP function software packages and model name setting at the startup
The table below shows the GPP function software packages allowing you to create an A2USHCPU-S1 program and PLC model settings at startup. When creating an A2USHCPU-S1 program, if "A2USH-S1" is not available as a PLC model, set "A3U". If "A3U" is not available, set "A3A". If both "A3U" and "A3A" are not available, set "A3H" .
Peripheral
Device
A6PHP
A6GPP
IBM PC/AT
NOTE
1. As the PC's model for the GPP function software package (SW IVD-GPPA; is older than
3) is set to "A3U", attention should be paid to the following:
1) When a LED or LEDC instruction is written, it is not usable but no error will be issued.
2) When a CHG instruction is written, it is not usable, and the error code 13 and detailed error code 134 will be detected.
3) When a subprogram is set, it is not usable, and the error code 11 and detailed error code 111 will be detected.
2. When the MELSECNET(II), MELSECNET/10 parameters are used up to the maximum of 16k bytes, program capacity will be limited to 22k steps. The A2USHCPU-S1 uses the same memory area for the sequence program as that for the parameters of MELSECNET(II) and MELSECNET/10. Therefore, the remainder in the max. 30k steps after subtracting the memory area used by the MELSECNET(II) and MELSECNET/10 parameters can be used for the sequence program.
POINT
(1) Old software packages other than SW3-GPPA, SW3GP-GPPA, and SW4GP-GPPA cannot
be used as the software package for system startup for A6GPP/A6PHP.
(2) When a MELSECNET/10 network system is configured with the A2USHCPU-S1, use an
AnU/A2USH-S1-compatible GPP function software package (which contains "A3U" / "A2USH-S1" in the PC's model name). The network function cannot be set with GPP function software packages not compatible with AnU (no "A3U" / "A2USH-S1" in the PC's model name).

Notes (1) Only one extension base module can be used. (The second extension module cannot be used.)
(2) When the extension base A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A55B or A58B is used, the 5VDC power is supplied from the
power supply module of the basic base module. Before use, refer to Sect ion 6. 1. 3 and examine if it c an be us ed. (3) Limit the length of extension cable to 6m or short er. (4) If an extension cable is used, do not tie it with the main circuit cables, which has high voltage, large current, or
install them close to each other.
Assignment of the I/O numbers
(When I/O is not assigned)
(1) Assign I/O numbers to the basic base unit first, then to the extension base unit. (2) Assign I/O numbers as if both basic bas e unit and extension base unit have 8 slots each. When the
A1S32B/A1S33B/A1S35B for 2/3/5 slots are used as the basic base unit, add 6/5/3 slots (96 points/48 points) and
assign the extension base unit I/O numbers. (3) 16 points are assigned to an empty slot. (4) When an extension base unit for A
N or A A is used, be sure to set to a single extension level. If it is set to
the number of skipped unit, 16 points/slot are assigned to all of "skipped unit x 8 slots", and thus it does not work. (5) Items (2) to (4) can be changed by the I/O ass ignm ent . Refer t o t he ACPU Programm ing M anual (Fundament als )

4.1.1 Overview of operation processing

An overview of processing subsequent to starting power supply for A2USHCPU-S1 to execution of the sequence program is explained. A2USHCPU-S1's processing may be categorized roughly into the following four kinds:
(1) Initial processing
This is a preprocess to execute sequence operations, and is performed only once upon power-on or reset.
(a) Resets the I/O module and initialize it. (b) Initializes the range of data memory for which latch is not set up (sets the bit device to OFF
and the word device to 0).
(c) Allocates I/O address of the I/O module automatically based on the I/O module number or
the position of installation on the extension base module.
(d) Executes the check items for power-on and reset among the PC CPU's self-diagnosis items
(Refer to 4.1.4).
(e) For the control station of the MELSECNET/10 or the master station of MELSECNET (II)/B,
sets the network/link parameter information to the network/data-link module, and commences the network communication/data link.
(2) Refresh processing of I/O module
Executes the refresh processing of I/O module. (Refer to the ACPU Programming Manual (Fundamentals).)
(3) Operation processing of a sequence program
Executes a sequence program from step 0 to the END instruction written in the PC CPU.
(4) END processing
This is a post-process to finish one cycle of operation processing of the sequence program and to return the execution of the sequence program to the step 0.
(a) Performs self-diagnosis checks, such as fuse blown, I/O module verification, and low
battery. (Refer to Section 4.1.4.)
(b) Updates the current value of the timer, sets the contact ON/OFF, updates the current value
of the counter and sets the contact to ON. (Refer to the ACPU Programming Manual (Fundamentals).)
(c) Performs data exchange between PC CPU and computer link module when there is a data
read or write request from a computer link module. (A1SJ71UC24-R2, AJ71C24(S3), AD51(S3), etc.)
(d) Performs the refresh processing when there is a refresh request from the network module or
link module.
(e) When the trace point setting of sampling trace is by each scan (after the execution of END
instruction), stores the condition of the device for which it is setup into the sampling trace area.

4.1.2 Operation processing of RUN, STOP, PAUSE, and STEP RUN

The PC CPU has four kinds of operation states: RUN state, STOP state, PAUSE state, and step operation (STEP RUN) state. Operation processing of PC CPU in each operation state is explained.
(1) RUN state operation processing
(a) The repetition of sequence program operation in the order from step 0 → END (FEND)
instruction → step 0 is called the RUN state.
(b) When entering the RUN state, the output state escaped by STOP is output depending on
the output mode setting of parameter upon STOP → RUN.
(c) Processing time from switching from STOP to RUN until the startup of sequence program is
usually one to three seconds, yet it may vary depending on the system configuration.
(2) STOP state operation processing
(a) The termination of operation of the sequence program by the use of RUN/STOP key switch
or the remote STOP is called the STOP state. (Refer to Section 4.3.)
(b) When entering the STOP state, it escapes the output state and sets all output points to OFF.
Data memories except for output (Y) are retained.
(3) PAUSE state operation processing
(a) The termination of operation of sequence program while retaining output and data memories
is called the PAUSE state. (Refer to Section 4.3.)
(4) Step operation (STEP RUN) operation processing
(a) Step operation is an operation mode wherein operation processing of a sequence program
can be paused/resumed by each instruction from peripheral device(s). (Refer to Section
4.3.)
(b) Since an operation processing is paused while retaining the output and data memories,
condition of the execution can be confirmed.

POINTS
Whether in the RUN, STOP or PAUSE state, PC CPU is performing the following:
Refresh processing of I/O module
Data communication with computer link module
Link refresh processing.
Thus, even in the STOP or PAUSE state, monitoring or testing I/O with peripheral devices, reading or writing from a computer link module, and communication with other stations by MELSECNET are possible.

4.1.3 Operation processing upon momentary power failure

The PC CPU detects a momentary power failure when input power voltage supplied to the power supply module becomes lower than the specified range. When the PC CPU detects a momentary power failure, following operation processing is performed.
(1) When a momentary power failure shorter than allowable period of momentary power failure
occurred:
(a) When a momentary power failure occurred, operation processing is interrupted while the
output state is retained. (b) When the momentary power failure is reset, operation processing will be continued. (c) When a momentary power failure occurred and the operation was interrupted, measurement
of the watchdog timer (WDT) continues. For instance, when the scan time is 190ms and a
momentary power failure of 15ms occurs, it causes the watchdog timer error (200ms).
Momentary power failure occurred Power supply restoration
END END END0
A2USHCPU-S1 interrupts the operation.
Operation processing upon momentary power failure
(2) When a momentary power failure longer than the allowable period of momentary power
failure occurred:
The PC CPU performs the initial start. The operation processing is the same as power-on or reset operation with the reset switch.

4. CPU MODULE MELSEC-A

4.1.4 Self-diagnosis

Self-diagnosis is a function with which A2USHCPU-S1 diagnoses itself for the presence of any abnormalities.
(1) Upon turning on the power supply to PC or when an abnormality occurred while the PC is running,
the A2USHCPU-S1's self-diagnosis processing prevents malfunctions of the PC and performs preventive maintenance by detecting the abnormality, displaying an error display, halting the operation of A2USHCPU-S1, and so on.
(2) A2USHCPU-S1 stores the error occurred last to a special register D9008 as an error code, and
stores further detailed error code to a special register D9091.
(3) Even with the power-off, the latest error information and 15 errors in the past are stored by battery
back-up. With the AnUCPU-supporting system FD, contents of up to 16 errors can be confirmed from the peripheral devices. Display example with SW
Displays the current error message.
Displays the current error number. As the error generation condition, a maximum
of 16 latest errors are displayed with the time of their occurrences. The display is erased by pressing the key.
Displays the time and date of the occurrences of errors. (year, month, day, minutes, seconds)
Displays the error number.
(4) When the self-diagnosis detects an error, the module will be in one of the two modes below:
Mode wherein operation of the PC is stopped
Mode wherein operation of the PC continues In addition, there are errors with which the operation can be selected to stop or to continue by the parameter setting.
(a) When a stop-operation mode error is detected by the self-diagnosis, the operation is
stopped at the time of detection of the error, and sets the all outputs(Y) to OFF.
(b) When a continue-operation mode error is detected, the only part of the program with the
error is not executed while the all other part is executed. Also, in case of I/O module verification error, the operation is continued using the I/O address prior to the error.
When an error is detected, error generation and error contents are stored in the special relay (M) and special register (D), so that in case of the continue-operation mode, the program can use the information to prevent any malfunctions of the PC or devices.
Error descriptions detected by the self-diagnosis are shown in the next page.
REMARK
1) As to the LED display message, the order of priority of the LED display can be changed if CPU is in the operation mode. (An error code is stored in the special register).
2) When the special relay M9084 is ON, checking on blown fuse, I/O verification and the battery are not performed (an error code is not stored in the special register).
3) The "Error display of peripheral device" in the table of self-diagnostic functions are messages displayed by the PC diagnosis of peripheral devices.

POINT
Note that the sequence program can use only up to 22k steps when the maximum 16k bytes are used for the MELSECNET/10 network parameters.
The memory area for the sequence program for A2USHCPU-S1 is the same as that for MELSECNET/10. Therefore, the remainder of subtracting the memory area used by MELSECNET/10 network parameters from the maximum 30k steps can be used for the memory area for the sequence program.

4.2.3 Setting ranges of timer and counter

(1) Timer setting range
(a) Default values of the timer setting ranges are as follows:
Timer points : 256 points 100ms timer : T0 to T199 10ms timer : T200 to T255 Retentive timer : none
(b) When timer-use points are set to 257 or more, the default values will be as follows:
100ms timer : T0 to T199 10ms timer : T200 to T255 100ms timer : T256 to T2047
(c) The timer type can be arbitrarily set in continuous numbers, with T0 to T255 in 8 point units,
and T256 to T2047 in 16 point units. By setting the timer points actually to be used, the timer processing time subsequent to the END instruction can be shortened.
(d) Timer setting values are as follows:
T0 to T255 : constant or word device (D) T256 to T2047 : word device (D, W, R) (Allocate a storage device for the set value by setting parameters.)
(2) Counter setting range
(a) Default values of counter setting ranges are as follows:
Counter points : 256 points Normal counter : C0 to C255 Interrupt counter : none
(b) When the counter-use points are set to 256 points or more, the default values will become
as follows: Normal counter : C0 to C255 Normal counter : C256 to C1024
(c) A counter which can be setup as an interrupt counter must only be in the range C244 to
C255, and any counters outside the range cannot be set up. Set up is made with parameters in C224 to C255 in one point unit for the interrupt counter. Any counter in the range C224 to C255 which is not set up as an interrupt counter can be used as a normal counter.
4-15
4. CPU MODULE MELSEC-A
The interrupt counters in C224 to C255 are allocated to the interrupt pointers I0 toI31 as shown below, and count the occurrences of interrupts in I0 to I31.

(d) Counter-use points can be set arbitrarily in 16 point units using continuous numbers. By
setting the counter which points to the number actually used, the counter processing time subsequent to the END instruction can be shortened.
(e) The counter set values are as follows:
C0 to C255 : constant or word device (D) C256 to C1023 : word device (D, W, R) (Allocate a storage device for the set value by setting parameters.)
POINT
When timer-use points are set to 257 points or more or counter-use points are set to 256 points or more, the set value storage devices (D, W, R), specified at the time of timer/counter use point setup, are automatically set in continuous numbers.
<Example>
When timer-use points are set to 512 points and set value storage device is set to D1000, D equivalent to 256 points (D1000 to D1255) in T256 to T511 become the devices, with continuous numbers, for the set values

4.2.4 I/O devices

A2USHCPU-S1 has 8192 I/O device points (X/Y0 to 1FFF) each for input (X) and output (Y). There are actual I/O devices and remote I/O devices in this I/O range.
(1) Actual I/O device
This is the device range where an I/O module or special function module can be installed to the basic base module/extension base module and controlled. A2USHCPU-S1: 1024 points (X/Y0 to 3FF)
(2) Remote I/O device
The remote I/O devices, following the actual I/O devices, can be used for the following objectives:
(a) Allocate to a remote I/O station in the MELSECNET(II) data link system. (b) Allocate to a remote I/O station in the MELSECNET/10 network system. (c) Allocate to the reception data storage device or transmission data storage device in the
MELSECNET/MINI-S3's automatic refresh setting.
(d) Use as the substitute to an internal relay.

4.2.5 I/O allocation of special function modules

By registering the model name of the following special function modules upon the I/O allocation from a peripheral device, dedicated commands for special function modules can be used.
Model name of spec ial function
module
AD61 AD61 AD61-S1 AD61S1 AD59 AD59 AD59-S1 AD59S1 AJ71C24 AJ71C24 AJ71C24-S3 AJ71C24S3 AJ71C24-S6 AJ71C24S6 AJ71C24-S8 AJ71C24S8 AJ71UC24 AJ71UC24 AJ71C21 AJ71C21 AJ71C21-S1 AJ71C21S1 AJ71PT32-S3 PT32S3 AD57 AD57 AD57-S1 AD57S1 AD58 AD58 A1SJ71UC24-R2 A1SJ71UC24-R4 A1SJ71UC24-PRF A1SJ71PT32-S3 A1SPT32S3
Model name of the m odule to be set
A1SJ71UC24
POINTS
If a FROM or TO instruction is executed to the special function module frequently with short scanning intervals, the special function module may not be processed normally.
When you execute a FROM or TO instruction to the special function module, adjust the processing time and conversion time using the timer, constant scan and other measures of the special function module.
4-17
4. CPU MODULE MELSEC-A

4.2.6 MELSECNET/MINI-S3 automatic refresh

By setting link information, I/O storage device, etc. of MELSECNET/MINI-S3 to parameters, the module automatically communicates with the buffer memory area for the batch refresh send/received data of A1SJ71PT32-S3/AJ71PT32-S3 master module (abbreviated as the master module hereafter).
Sequence programs can be created using the I/O devices as they are allocated to send/received by the automatic refresh setting. (The FROM/TO instructions are not required.)
POINTS
(1) Since up to 8 master modules can be set for automatic refresh by the parameter, automatic
refresh is possible for up to 8 modules. If 9 or more modules are desired, use the FROM/TO instruction in the sequence program from the 9th module.
(2) Since automatic refresh is not possible with send/received data for separate refresh I/O
module and for remote terminal modules No.1 to No.14, use the FROM/TO instruction for them. However, the remote terminal modules shown below are subject of automatic refresh in a limited area:
AJ35PTF-R2 RS-232C interface module
AJ35PT-OPB-M1-S3 mount-type tool box
AJ35PT-OPB-P1-S3 portable type tool box
(3) For the master modules set up for automatic refresh, CPU automatically turns ON the link
communication start signal Y(n+18) or Y(n+28), so it is not necessary to turn it on from the sequence program.
(4) Automatic refresh of I/O data is performed by batch after the CPU executes the END
instruction. (Automatic refresh processing is performed when the CPU is in the RUN/PAUSE/STEP RUN state).
(5) The master module may perform the processing while link communication start signal
Y(n+28) is OFF depending on the remote terminal module connected. For instance, if the AJ35PTF-R2 RS-232C interface module is used without protocol, it is necessary to write parameters to the parameter area (buffer memory address 860 to 929) while the link communication start signal is OFF. The link communication start signal becomes ON after CPU enters the RUN state and one scan is performed, so write the parameters during the first 1 scan.

1) Set the device number (Y400) for b0 of the station 1 as a send data storage device.
2) The send data storage device occupies from Y400 to Y45F. For the present system example, the total number of the stations is odd, so it occupies for one extra station.
3) The device numbers of output modules connected are as follows:
Stations 9 to 10 AX40Y50C → Y400 to Y44F Station 11 AJ35TJ-8R → Y450 to Y457
With respect to Y400 to Y43F and Y458 to Y44F, they are simultaneously refreshed, but are not output.
POINTS
(1) Set the send and received data storage devices so that device numbers do not overlap.
When the received data storage device is set to B0 in the system configuration example, it occupies B0 to B5F as the device range. Set the send data storage device to B60 or later. When the send data storage device is set to B60, the device range will be B60 to BBF.
(2) If a bit device is specified as the send/received data storage device, the device number set
must be a multiple of 16.
<Example> X0, X10 ........ X100, .......
M0, M16, ...... M256, .......
B0, B10, ....... B100, .......
(3) Device range used is (8 points) x (Number of stations).
When the number of stations is an odd number, extra 8 points are necessary.

4.5.3 Latch clear operation

When latch clear is performed with the RUN/STOP switch, follow the procedures below. If latch clear is performed, devices outside the latch range and error information by self-diagnosis of A2USHCPU-S1 (information on the newest error and the past 15 errors) are also cleared.
(1) Fl i p the RUN/STOP switch from the "STOP" position to "L.CLR" positi on for several times and
make the "RUN" LED to high-speed flicker (ON for about 0.2s, OFF for 0.2s). When the "RUN" LED flickers at high speed, the latch clear is ready for operation.
(2) While the "RUN" LED is flickering at high-speed, flip the RUN/STOP switch from the "STOP"
position to the "L.CLR" position again to complete latch clear and the "RUN" LED turns off. To cancel the latch clear operation midway, flip the RUN/STOP switch to the "RUN" position to set the A2USHCPU-S1 to RUN state, or flip it to the "RESET" posit ion to reset.
REMARK
The latch clear can also be performed by the operation of GPP function. For instance, latch clear by A6GPP can be performed by "Device memory all clear" of the PC mode test function. For the operation procedure, refer to the operating manual for GPP functions.

POINT
*1: Overcurrent protection
If the current above the spec value flows in the 5VDC or 24VDC circuit, overcurrent protection device interrupts the circuit and stops the system operation. LED display of the power supply module is either OFF or ON dimly, due to the voltage drop.
When this device is once activated, remove factors of insufficient current capacity and short­circuit before starting up the system. When the current restores to the normal value, the system performs the initial start.
*2: Overvoltage protection
When 5.5V to 6.5V of overvoltage is applied to the 5VDC circuit, overvoltage protection device interrupts the circuit and stops the system operation.
LED display of the power supply module turns OFF. To restart the system, turn OFF the input power supply, then back to ON. The system performs the initial start.
If the system does not start and LED display remains OFF, the power supply module needs to be replaced
*3: Allowable period of momentary power failure
This indicates allowable period of momentary power failure of PC CPU, and is determined by the power supply module used. Allowable period of momentary power failure for a system using A1S63P is the period it takes until the 24VDC falls below the specified voltage (15.6VDC) after cutting off the primary power supply of the stabilized power supply, which supplies the 24VDC power to A1S63P.

5.1.1 Selecting a power supply module

Power supply module is selected based on to the total current consumption of the I/O module, special function module and peripheral devices to which power is supplied by the subject power supply module. When extension base module A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B, A55B or A58B is used, take into consideration that the power to the module is supplied by the power supply module of the basic base. For 5VDC current consumption of I/O modules, special function modules and peripheral devices, refer to Section 2.3.
Power supply module
CPU
I/O module A1SX10 , A 1S Y 1 0, etc.
*
Special function module A1SD61, A1SD71-S2, etc.
Peripheral device A8PU, A6WU, etc.
(1) Power supply module selection when extension base module A1S52B, A1S55B,
A1S58B, A52B A55B, or A58B is used
When extension base module A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B A55B, or A58B is used, 5VDC power is supplied from the power supply module of the basic base module via extension cable. Thus, when one of these modules is used, be careful with the following: (a) Select a 5VDC power supply module of the basic base module with sufficient capacity
to supply 5VDC current consumed by A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B A55B, or A58B.
Example
If 5VDC current consumption on the basic base module is 3A and 5VDC current consumption on the A1S55B is 1A, then, the power supply module installed to the basic base module must be
A1S61P(5VDC 5A).
(b) Since the power to A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B A55B, or A58B is supplied via
extension cable, a voltage drop occurs through the cable. It is necessary to select a power supply module and cable with proper length so that 4.75VDC or more is available at the receiving end. For the details of voltage drop, refer to Section 6.1.3, the operation standard of extension base module.
Peripheral device AD71TU
When making a selection, current
*
consumption of the peripheral devices connected to the special function module must be taken into account. For example, if AD71TU is connected to A1SD71-S2, the current consumption of the AD71TU must be considered also.

6.1.3 Usage standards of extension base units (A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B, A55B, A58B)

When the A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B, A55B or A58B extension base unit is used, confirm that the receiving port voltage (voltage of the module installed to the last slot of the extension base unit) is 4.75V or higher.
Since the power supply module on the basic base unit supplies 5VDC to A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B, A55B and A58B extension base unit, a voltage drop occurs through base unit or extension base unit. If the specified voltage is not supplied at the receiving end, misinput and misoutput may result. When voltage at the receiving end is less than 4.75V, change the extension base unit to A1S65B, A1S68B, A62B, A65B or A68B with the power supply.
(1) Conditions for selection
Receiving voltage of the module installed to the final slot of A1S52B, A1S55B, A1S58B, A52B, A55B or A58B type extension base unit must be 4.75V or above.
The output voltage of the power supply module is set to 5.1V or above. Thus, it can be used if the voltage drop is 0.35V or less.
(2) Elements of voltage drop
Elements of voltage drop (a) to (c) are shown in figure below according to the connection method of the extension base unit and the type of extension base unit.

(d) Confirmation of voltage at the receiving end
5.1 - 0.15372 - 0.05832 - 0.04536 = 4.8426(V) Above system can be used, since the voltage at the receiving end is more than 4.75V.
(5) Scheme to reduce the voltage drop
Following methods are effective in reducing the voltage drop: (a) Change the installation location of the module Install modules with a large current consumption subsequently starting from slot 0 of
the basic base unit.
Install modules with a small current consumption to the extension base unit. (b) Attachment of base units in series By attaching base units in series (connect the extension cable to the left side of the
basic base module), the voltage drop with the basic base unit can be made negligible.
However, if the extension cable used is long, the voltage drop through it may become
larger than that with the basic base unit, so calculate the voltage drop according to (3) above.
(c) Use of a short extension cable The shorter the extension cable is, the smaller the resistance and the voltage drop
become. Use the shortest extension cable possible.

Precautions when handling the memory cassette are as follows:
(1) The memory cassette and the pin connector are made of resin; do not fall them to the
ground or apply a strong shock to them.
(2) Do not remove the printed board of each memory cassette from the case. Doing so may
cause breakdowns.
(3) Be careful not to let foreign matter such as wire chips get inside the module. If it does get
inside the module, remove it immediately.
(4) When installing the memory cassette to the A2USHCPU-S1 main module, securely connect
it to the connector.
(5) Do not place memory cassettes on a metal with or with a possibility of leak, or on a wooden
material, plastic, vinyl, fiber, electric wire, paper, etc. that bears static electricity. (6) Do not touch the lead of the memory. This may damage the memory. (7) Do not touch the connector of the memory cassette for the CPU. This may result in false
contact.
IMPORTANT
(1) When the memory cassette is installed to or removed from the A2USHCPU-S1, the power
supply must be OFF. If it is installed or removed while the power supply is ON, the content of the memory of the memory cassette will be destroyed.
(2) The RAM memory built in the A2USHCPU-S1 (parameter, T/C set value, main program,
MELSECNET/10 network parameters) will not be overwritten by installing the EEP-ROM
memory cassette and turning ON the power to the A2USHCPU-S1. If an EP-ROM memory cassette is installed, the main program will not be overwritten. However, when contents of the RAM memory are important, make the backup of the data
using a peripheral device, then install the memory cassette. (3) The A1SMCA-
KE/ KP memory cassette cannot be installed to the A2USHCPU-S1.

8. LOADING AND INSTALLATION
To increase the system reliability and fully utilize the functions, procedures and cautions concerning loading and installation are described below.

8.1 Concept of Failsafe Circuit

When turning the power supply of the PC ON or OFF, because of the delay and the difference in the startup time between the power supply in the PC main module and the external power supply for processing (especially DC), processing output may not operate normally for a moment.
For instance, when the PC power supply is turned on after a DC output module is turned on with the external power supply for processing, the DC output module may misoutput momentarily upon PC power-on. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a circuit whereby the power supply of the PC main module can be energized first.
In addition, it may cause an abnormal operation when there is an abnormality in the external power supply or a failure with the PC.
To prevent these abnormalities from causing abnormal behaviors of the system as a whole, and from the stand point of failsafe, the circuits which may cause mechanical failures or accidents (the emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, interlock circuits, etc.) should be constructed outside the PC. An example of system circuit design in accordance with the view point mentioned above is shown on the next page.
DANGER
Provide safety circuits in the outside of the PLC to ensure that the whole system
will operate safely if an external power supply fault or PLC failure occurs. Not doing so may cause accidents due to improper output or malfunction.
(1) Configure circuits, such as emergency stop circuits, protective circuits,
oppositely operating interlock circuits, e.g. forward rotation and reverse rotation, and machine damage prevention interlock circuits, e.g. upper and lower limits of positioning, in the outside of the PLC.
(2) If the PLC detects either of the following faulty states, it stops arithmetic
operation and turns off all outputs.
When the overcurrent or overvoltage protection device of the power supply module operates.
When a fault is detected by the self-diagnostic function of the PLC CPU such as a watchdog timer error.
At the occurrence of a fault in the I/O control section, etc. that cannot be detected by the PLC CPU, all outputs may turn on. Configure failsafe circuits or provide mechanisms in the outside of the PLC to ensure that the machine operation will be performed safely at such times.
(3) Depending on the failures of the output module relays, transistors, etc., the
outputs may remain on or off. Provide external monitoring circuits for the output signals that may lead to serious accidents.
If excessive current higher than the rating or caused by a load short circuit, etc.
keeps flowing in the output module for a long period of time, smoking or ignition may occur. Therefore, provide external safety circuits such as fuses.

(2) Failsafe measures against PC failure
Failures in the PC CPU and memory are detected by the self-diagnostic function, but the CPU may not be able to detect abnormalities in the I/O control area, etc. In such cases, there is a possibility of setting all points to ON or OFF, or a situation may develop where normal operations and safety of the controlled subject cannot be assured, depending on the condition of the failure.
Although as a manufacturer, every possible measure is implemented to assure the product quality, the failsafe circuit should be constructed outside by the user so that if the PC fails for some reason, it would not cause any mechanical damages or accidents. An example of failsafe circuit is shown below.

8.2 Installation Environment

Avoid the following conditions for the installation location of A2USHCPU-S1 system: (1) Location where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 55°C.
(2) Location where the ambient humidity exceeds the range of 10 to 90%RH. (3) Location where condensation occurs due to a sudden temperature change. (4) Location where corrosive gas or flammable gas exists. (5) Location where a lot of conductive powdery substance such as dust and iron filing, oil mist, salt, or
organic solvent exists. (6) Location exposed to direct sunlight. (7) Location where strong electric fields or magnetic fields form. (8) Location where vibration or impact is directly applied to the main module.

8.3 Calculation Method of Heat Amount Generated by the PC

It is necessary to keep the temperature of the panel which stores the PC to the operating ambient temperature of the PC, which is 55°C, or below. For radiation design of the panel, it is necessary to know the average power consumption (heat generation) of the devices and machinery stored inside. In this section, a method to obtain the av erage power consumption of the A2USHCPU-S1 system is explained. Calculate the temperature increase in the panel from the power consumption.

(1) Power consumption by power supply module
The power conversion efficiency of the power supply module is about 70%, and 30% is consumed
as heat generated, thus, 3/7 of the output power is the power consumption. Therefore, the
calculation formula is:

8.4 Installation of Base Unit

Precautions concerning installation of the basic base unit and extension base unit are described next.

8.4.1 Precautions when installing PC

Precautions concerning the installation of PC to the panel, etc. are explained below.
(1) To improve the ventilation and to facilitate the exchange of the module, provide at least 30mm
(1.18in.) of distance between the top part of the module and any structure or part.
However, when A52B, A55B, A58B, A62B, A65B or A68B extension base module is used, provide
at least 80mm (3.15in.) of distance between the top of the module and any structural part.
(2) Do not install vertically or horizontally, because of concerns with ventilation.
(3) If there are any protrusions, dents or distortion on the installation surface of the base unit, an
excessive force is applied to the print board and causes problems, so, install to a flat surface.
(4) Avoid sharing the same panel with any source of vibration such as a large magnetic contactor or
no-fuse breaker, and install to a separate panel or away from such devices.
(5) Provide wiring ducts as necessary.
However, when the clearance of the top and bottom of the PC are smaller than those shown in
figure 8.1, pay attention to the following:
(a) When installing to the top of PC, to improve the ventilation, keep the height of the duct to
50mm (1.97in.) or below.
In addition, the distance from the top of the PC should be sufficient for tightening and loosening works for the installation screws on the top of the module.
The module cannot be replaced if the screws on the top of the module cannot be loosened or tightened.
(b) When installing to the bottom part of the PC, provide a sufficient space so that the
100/200VAC input line of the power module, input and output cables of I/O modules and 12/24VDC lines are not affected.
(6) If any device is installed in front of the PC (i.e. installed in the back of the door), position it to
secure at least 100mm (3.94in.) of distance to avoid the effects of noise emission and heat.
Also, keep at least 50mm (1.97in.) distance from the base unit to any device placed on right or left
or the module.

8.7.1 Precautions when w iring

DANGER
CAUTION
Before beginning any installation or wiring work, make sure all phases of the power supply have been obstructed from the outside. Failure to completely shut off the power-supply phases may cause electric shock and/or damage to the module.
When turning on the power or operating the module after installation or wiring work, be sure the module's terminal covers are correctly attached. Failure to attach the terminal covers may result in electric shock.
The FG and LG terminals should always be grounded using the class-3 or higher grounding designed specially for PC. Failure to ground these terminals may cause electric shock or malfunctioning.
When wiring the PC, check the rated voltage and terminal layout of the wiring, and make sure the wiring is done correctly. Connecting a power supply that differs from the rated voltage or wiring it incorrectly may cause fire or breakdown.
Do not connect output from multiple power supply modules in parallel. This may heat up the power supply module and cause fire or breakdowns.
Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. If the terminal screws are loose, it may result in short circuits, fire or malfunctioning. If the terminal screws are tightened too much, it may damage the screws and the module may result in short circuits, malfunctioning or cause the module to fall out.
Be careful not to let foreign matter such as filings or wire chips get inside the unit. These can cause fire, breakdowns and malfunctioning.
Perform correct pressure-welding, crimp-contact or soldering for connectors for the outside using the specified tools. Refer to the User's Manual of the corresponding I/O module for tools required to perform pressure-welding and crimp-contact. Incorrect connection may cause short circuits, fire, or malfunctioning.
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or install them close to each other. They should be installed 100 mm (3.94in.) or more from each other. Failure to do so may result in noise that would cause malfunctioning.

INSTRUCTION

9.1 Requirements for Compliance to EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)

The EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) will become mandatory within Europe from January 1st 1996. The EMC directive in essence defines the amount of electromagnetic output a product is allowed to produce and how susceptible that product is to electromagnetic interference. Any manufacturer or importer of electrical/electronic apparatus must before releasing or selling products within Europe after that date have either a CE mark attached to their goods. Testing to comply with the directive is done by use of agreed European standards which define limits for radiated and mains conducted electromagnetic emissions from equipment, levels of immunity to radiated emissions, ability for equipment to cope with transient voltage surges and electro-static discharges.
When installed in the specified manner this unit will be compliant with the relevant standards EN50081-2 and prEN50082-2 as applicable in the EMC directive. Failure to comply with these instructions could lead to impaired EMC performance of the equipment and as such Mitsubishi Electric Corporation can accept no liability for such actions.

(*1) QP: Quasi-peak value, Mean : Average value
(*2) The PLC is an open type device (device installed to another device) and must
be installed in a conductive control box. The tests for the corresponding items were performed while the PLC was installed to inside the control box.

9.1.2 Installation inside the cont rol cabi net

Since the PLC is an open type device (device incorporated into another device), it must be installed in the control cabinet. This has a good effect of not only for assuring safety but also for shielding noise emitted from the PLC, by means of the control cabinet.
(1) Control cabinet
(a) Use a conductive control cabinet. (b) When attaching the control cabinet's top plate or base plate, mask
painting and weld so that good surface contact can be made between the cabinet and plate.
MELSEC-A
(c) To ensure good electrical contact with the control cabinet, mask the paint
on the installation bolts of the inner plate in the control cabinet so that contact between surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible area.
(d) Earth the control cabinet with a thick wire so that a low impedance
connection to ground can be ensured even at high frequencies. (22 mm wire or thicker is recommended.)
(e) Holes made in the control cabinet must be 10 cm (3.94 in.) diameter or
less. If the holes are 10 cm (3.94 in.) or larger, radio frequency noise may be emitted.
(2) Connection of power and earth wires
Earthing and power supply wires for the PLC system must be connected as described below.
(a) Provide an earthing point near the power supply module. Earth the power
supply's LG and FG terminals (LG : Line Ground, FG : Frame Ground) with the thickest and shortest wire possible. (The wire length must be 30 cm (11.18 in.) or shorter.) The LG and FG terminals function is to pass the noise generated in the PLC system to the ground, so an impedance that is as low as possible must be ensured. As the wires are used to relieve the noise, the wire itself carries a large noise content and thus short wiring means that the wire is prevented from acting as an antenna.
2
Note) A long conductor will become a highly efficient antenna at high frequency.
9-2
9. EMC DIRECTIVE AND LOW-VOLTAGE INSTRUCTION
(b) The earth wire led from the earthing point must be twisted with the power
supply wires. By twisting with the earthing wire, noise flowing from the power supply wires can be relieved to the earthing. However, if a filter is installed on the power supply wires, the wires and the earthing wire may not need to be twisted.

9.1.3 Cables

The cables led from the control cabinet contain a high frequency noise element and outside the control panel these cables act as antennae and radiate noise. The cables connected to input/output modules or special modules which leave the control panel must always be shielded cables. Mounting of a ferrite core on the cables is not required (excluding some models) but if a ferrite core is mounted, the noise radiated through the cable can be suppressed further. Use of a shielded cable is also effective for increasing the noise immunity level. The PLC system's input/output and special function module provide a noise immunity level of equivalent to that stated in IEC801-4 : 2 k V when a shielded cable is used. If a shielded cable is not used or if the shield earthing treatment is not suitable even when used (See Section 9.1.2.4), the noise immunity level is less than 2 k V.
Note) prEN50082-2 specifies the noise resistance level based on the signal wire
application. Signals involved in process control : 2 k V Signals not involved in process control : 1 k V
MELSEC-A
The meaning of "involved in process control" is not defined in prEN50082-2. However, when the purposes of the EMC Directive are considered, the signals that could cause personal injury or risks in the facility if a malfunction occurs should be defined as "signals involved in process control". Thus, it is assumed that a high noise immunity level is required.
