- Applications in life critical situations

Please contact a Mitsubishi distributor for more information.

α2 Series Controllers is not designed to be used in the following applications:

1.1 Special Features Display messages and Function Block data

1 ) Display messages and Function Block data

The

α2 Series can display the state of operation and the alarm on the LCD screen as a

message. The values of timers and counters can be changed in RUN mode.

- Total characters on LCD display: 12 characters x 4 lines

- Display items: Message, values (current or set) of timers and counters, analogue values, etc.

2 ) Program Input

The user can program directly from the front panel or use the windows based AL-PCS/WIN-E programming software Ver2.00. Pictorial representation of data is used to

connect function blocks. Please refer to the

α Software Manual.

3 ) Enhancement of clock function

The weekly and daily calendar timer function allows switch inputs that set the powerful time dependent control capabilities.

4 ) Analog input, 0-10V/0-500

The DC input type for the

5 ) High Speed Counter, max 1kHz

The

α2 Series has two dedicated high speed counters when using AL2-4EX EI1 and EI2.

6 ) High current output

Relay output is 8A/COM in the main unit AL2-14MR-*: O01-6, AL2-24MR-D: O01-04 and the transistor output is 1A/point in the extension module.

α2 Series accepts 0-10V signals with a resolution of 0-500.

2. Function Block Programming

The α2 Series Controller is programmed with a user-friendly method of combining special dedicated purpose function blocks. The task is broken down into various stages which can be represented by a number of function blocks. Function Block Programming simplifies application representation but ensures complete process control. The program can be developed in very simple steps but even a complex task can be represented in this way. For ease of use, the function blocks have been preprogrammed to perform certain tasks yet offer flexibility to be tailored to individual requirements.

The user can build a complex circuit in small easy steps by starting at the input and working forward in a logical manner. The

α2 will gather and process information and provide the

necessary control for the application according to the system algorithm. Each individual function block provides specific control parameters, accessible by the user, to tailor each program for complete application suitability. The function blocks are connected together to form a circuit using the Function Block Diagram (FBD.)

2.1.1 Inputs

The α2 Series Controller will accept both digital (On/Off) and analog (mV value based) electrical information through the system Inputs. Please refer to the

electrical information, wiring diagrams and input specifications. Depending on the chosen controller there are either 14 or 24 input version types of the are referenced to I01, I02, ..., I15.

2.1.4 Function Blocks

Programming the α2 Series Controller is based upon the combination of different function blocks. They process the information received from the previously mentioned inputs and

control the system Outputs. They can also provide input signals or information to other function blocks using word outputs pins. To make programming easier, the Function Blocks have all been preprogrammed. Therefore, parameters within each function block dialog box can be set according to the intended application. There are 38 Function Blocks available, they are described in detail throughout Chapters 5 and 6.

2.1.6 Function Block Diagram (FBD) base

The Function Block Diagram provides the base for which all programming actions for the α2 is performed. Both the

FBD base contains a Title rectangle on the top, Input rectangles on the left and Output rectangles on the right. The FBD base is also known as FBD wiring area. All the components should be placed only within the FBD base rectangle except for the input and output signals which can be placed in the FBD wiring area or in the Input or Output rectangles.

Direct Programming uses the keys on the front panel to create the program and enter any required data values. The method for Direct Programming is explained in this manual beginning at Chapter 4.

2.2.2 AL-PCS/WIN-E Programming Software Ver 2.00

This windows based software allows the user to drag and drop the desired Function Block icons onto the FBD base and construct a program. The program is downloaded to the controller via the AL-232CAB cable. The visual on-screen connections make the software

easy to grasp for beginners and experienced users alike. The AL-PCS/WIN-E Programming Software is fully explained in the
