When the CPU module is in STOP operation status, forcibly turning CH Output enable/disable flag (Y1 to Y4) ON outputs the D/A-converted analog value.

This function performs a scale conversion of the digital value that was input into a digital value between -20000 and 20000 (or 0 and 20000) using any given set scaling upper or lower limit value, and outputs the corresponding analog value.

This signal turns ON when the external power supply 24VDC is supplied. When the flag is OFF, 0V/0mA are output to analog output values regardless of other settings.

This function stores up to 16 errors and alarms that occur on the D/A converter module to the buffer memory as history.

This function collects errors and alarms occurred in the D/A converter module and stores to the CPU module or the head module.

• Intelligent function module switch setting ( Page 39, Section 7.2 (1))

● Configure the offset/gain setting in accordance with the actual use situation.

● Offset and gain values are recorded in the flash memory in the D/A converter module by turning OFF → ON → OFF User

range writing request (YA). Once recorded, the values are not deleted even after turning the power off. When the values are written 26 times in succession, an error occurs and the error code is stored in Latest error code (Un\G19) to prevent an improper write to flash memory.

● Configure the offset/gain setting in the range satisfying the following condition. When the setting value out of the range is configured, the resolution and accuracy of the module may not fall within the range shown in the following performance specifications.

• I/O conversion characteristic of D/A conversion ( Page 112, Appendix 3)

● Configure the offset/gain setting for each channel. When configuring the setting for offset and gain channels at the same time, an error occurs and ERR. LED turns on.

● When error occurs even in one channel, offset/gain value is not written to the module. Check the value in Latest error code (Un\G19) and perform the following procedures to reconfigure the offset/gain setting from the beginning.

• Error code list ( Page 93, Section 11.4)

● When the mode is switched from the offset/gain setting mode to the normal mode by the setting of the dedicated instruction (G(P).OFFGAN) or Mode switching setting (Un\G158, Un\G159), Module READY (X0) turns from OFF to ON. Note the initial setting process is executed at the switching of the mode if the sequence program executes the initial setting at Module READY (X0) ON.

● To validate the intelligent function module switch setting after writing the setting to the CPU module, reset the CPU module or turn the power supply from OFF to ON.

8.5 Scaling Function

This function converts the input digital value to the scaled value of -20000 to 20000 (or 0 to 20000) using the specified scaling upper and lower limit values, and outputs the corresponding analog value.

(1) Concept of scaling setting

The setting for scaling lower and upper limit values differs depending on either the factory default setting or the user range setting is used for analog output range.

(a) When the factory default setting is used for analog output range

When using the factory default range, set a value corresponding to the upper limit value of the analog output value of the factory default range for the scaling upper limit value. Also, set a value corresponding to the lower limit value of the analog output of the factory default range for the scaling lower limit value.

(b) When the user range setting is used for analog output range

When using the user range, set a value corresponding to the analog output gain value for the scaling upper limit value. Also, set a value corresponding to the analog output offset value for the scaling lower limit value.

(2) Calculating the scaling value

Values converted using the following formulas are used for D/A conversion. (Values lower than the decimal point are rounded down in scale conversion.)

(a) When the factory default setting is used for output range

• Voltage: 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5 V Current: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA

Digital value used for D/A conversion =

• When the voltage is -10 to 10 V

Digital value used for D/A conversion =

Even if the input range of digital value is increased, the resolution does not become higher than that of when the scaling function is not used.

(3) Setting procedure

1. Set "D/A conversion enable/disable setting" to "0: Enable".

2. Set "Scaling function" to "0: Enable".

3. Set values for "Scaling upper limit value" and "Scaling lower limit value".

● When using the scaling function, the digital value before scaling can be set to a value out of the range of scaling upper and lower limit values (dotted line area in the I/O characteristics). However, use the scaling function within the range of analog output practical range (solid line area in the I/O characteristics). If the value exceeds the analog output practical range, the resolution and accuracy may not fall within the range of performance specifications.

● The default digital value "0" may not be appropriate, depending on the scaling function setting. Especially in the examples 1 and 2, the out-of-range digital value error (error code: 60) occurs if the output enable/ disable flag is turned on with the digital value "0". Therefore, be sure to set an appropriate digital value, within the scaling range, before turning on the output enable/ disable flag. The following shows the error codes that occur.

Fixed

● When using the user range, note that the scaling lower limit value is equal to the offset value.

(1) Alarm output notification

When the digital value moves above the alarm output upper limit value, or below the alarm output lower limit value, alarm notifications are made by Warning output flag (Un\G48), Warning output signal (XE) and the ALM LED turning ON.

In addition, alarm code 15  is stored in Latest error code (Un\G19). The alarm code that is stored is shown below:

Fixed

Warning channel number

1: Lower limit 0: Upper limit

(2) Operation of alarm output function

When the digital value moves above the alarm output upper limit value, or below the alarm output lower limit value, alarm notifications are made, and the analog output value becomes any of the following.

• When the digital value exceeds the alarm output upper limit value: An analog value converted from the digital value of alarm output upper limit value is output.

• When the digital value is less than the alarm output lower limit value: An analog value converted from the digital value of alarm output lower limit value is output.

After an alarm has occurred, the analog output value returns to the normal value by changing the digital value to a value within the setting range. However, Warning output flag (Un\G48) and Warning output signal (XE) are not cleared. (ALM LED keeps ON.)

(3) Clearing the Warning output

The alarm output can be cleared in the following two procedures:

• Turning OFF → ON → OFF Warning output clear request (YE)

• Turning OFF → ON → OFF Operating condition setting request (Y9)

Clearing the alarm output puts the D/A converter module into the following status.

• Warning output flag (Un\G48) is cleared.

• Warning output signal (XE) is turned to OFF.

• ALM LED is turned off.

• Warning code: 15  stored in Latest error code (Un\G19) is cleared.

(4) If the scaling function is enabled

If Scaling enable/disable setting (Un\G53) is set to "Enable", the digital value converted to the scaling range becomes a subject for alarm detection. When setting CH1 Warning output upper limit value (Un\G86) to CH4 Warning output lower limit value (Un\G93), make sure to specify values that reflect the scaling range.

(5) Setting procedure

1. Set "D/A conversion enable/disable setting" to "0: Enable".

CHAPTER 8 FUNCTIONS

8.7 Error Log Function

This function stores a history of errors and alarms that occurred in the D/A converter module to the buffer memory (Un\G1810 to Un\G1969). A maximum of 16 errors and alarms can be stored.

(1) Process of the error log function

The error code and the time of error occurrence are stored in the buffer memory address, starting from error history No.1 (start address Un\G1810) and sequentially thereafter.

(2) Checking error history

You can check the start address of the latest stored error at Latest error code address (Un\G1800)

1. When the third error occurs:

Ex.

The third error is stored in error history No.3, and the value "1830" (start address of error history No.3) is stored to Latest error code address (Un\G1800).

● Once the error history storage area becomes full, subsequent errors will overwrite the previous errors, starting from error

history No.1, and continues sequentially thereafter (Un\G1810 to G1819). (The overwritten history is deleted.)

● The stored error history is cleared when power supply is turned OFF, or when the CPU module is reset.

CHAPTER 8 FUNCTIONS

8.8 Module Error Collection Function

This function collects the errors and alarms occurred in D/A converter module into the CPU module or the head module. By holding the module errors in a memory that can hold data in the event of power failure, the errors can be held even after powering off or resetting the CPU module or the head module.

Error history (CPU module including built-in I/O and built-in CC-Link) and error log (intelligent function module) are displayed on one screen.

CHAPTER 8 FUNCTIONS

8.10 Saving and Restoring Offset/Gain Values

The D/A converter module can save and restore the offset/gain values in the user range setting. When replacing a module in case of failure, this function enables to pass the offset/gain value from a module to be changed (disconnected) to the newly-connected CPU module. If multiple D/A converter modules are installed in the same system, this function enables to apply the offset/gain value set to one module to the other modules. However, if you save and restore the offset/gain values, the accuracy after the restoration decreases by approximately three times compared to that before the restoration. Reconfigure the offset/gain as necessary.

(1) Procedure for saving and restoring offset/gain values

(a) To restore offset/gain values onto a new replacement module:

1. Save the offset/gain values.

↓

8.10 Saving and Restoring Offset/Gain Values

2. Replace the D/A converter module.

↓

3. Restore the offset/gain values.

(b) To apply the offset/gain values of one module to the other modules in the same

system:

Here, the offset/gain setting of module No.1 is applied to modules No.2 to No.4.

Ex.

1. Save the offset/gain values of module No.1.

↓

2. Apply the offset/gain values to modules No.2 to No.4.

(2) Methods for saving and restoring offset/gain values

There are two methods for saving and restoring offset/gain values.

• Saving and restoring by dedicated instructions

• Saving and restoring by reading from and writing to the buffer memory

(a) Saving and restoring by dedicated instructions

Temporarily save the offset/ gain value in the source D/A converter module into the internal device of CPU module using G(P).OGLOAD of dedicated instruction. Then, write the data to the restoring target D/A converter module using G(P).OGSTOR. You can prevent the saved offset/gain value data from getting deleted, by doing one of the following before replacing the modules:

• Use latch settings for the internal device of the destination module.

• Save the data onto an SD card To write data: use SP.FWRITE instruction To read data: use SP.FREAD instruction

• Store the saved data

For use of dedicated instructions, refer to the following.

• Dedicated Instructions ( Page 115, Appendix 5)

When performing the dedicated instruction G(P).OGSTOR, the D/A conversion is stopped. Turn OFF → ON → OFF Operating condition setting request (Y9) to restart the D/A conversion.

CHAPTER 8 FUNCTIONS

(b) Saving and restoring by reading from and writing to the buffer memory

In the buffer memory, use Pass data classification setting (Un\G200), CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217) and User range writing request (YA) to read the offset/gain values from the source D/A converter module, then use the buffer memory again to write to the destination D/A converter module. The procedure for using the buffer memory is described below.

• To restore offset/gain values onto a new replacement module:

Start

Sets values in Pass data classification setting (Un\G200).

Turns off, then on, and off again Operating condition setting request (Y9).

Takes down the values stored in Pass data classification setting (Un\G200) and CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217).*

For the source D/A converter module

Turns off the power.

Replaces the D/A converter module.

Turns on the power.

Writes the recorded data to Pass data classification setting (Un\G200) and CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217).*

Turns off and then on User range writing request (YA).

Checks that Offset/gain setting mode flag (XA) is on.

Turns on and then off User range writing request (YA).

Turns off, then on, and off again Operating condition setting request (Y9).

Checks that the replaced D/A converter module operates with the restored offset/gain values.

For the destination D/A converter module

8.10 Saving and Restoring Offset/Gain Values

End

*1 When replacing modules, you can prevent the saved offset/gain value data from getting deleted, by doing one of the

following before turning the power off:

• Use latch settings for the internal device of the destination module.

• Save the data onto an SD card. To write data: use SP.FWRITE instruction To read data: use SP.FREAD instruction

• Store the saved data.

• To apply the offset/gain values of one module to the other modules:

Start

Sets values in Pass data classification setting (Un\G200).

Turns off, then on, and off again Operating condition setting request (Y9).

Records the data stored in Pass data classification setting (Un\G200) and CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217).

Writes the recorded data to Pass data classification setting (Un\G200) and CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217).

Turns off and then on User range writing request (YA).

For the source D/A converter module

Checks that Offset/gain setting mode flag (XA) is on.

For the destination D/A converter module

Turns on and then off User range writing request (YA).

Turns off, then on, and off again Operating condition ]setting request (Y9).

Checks that the replaced D/A converter module operates with the restored offset/gain values.

End

When the data is written to the following buffer memory address in the source D/A converter module and User range writing request (YA) is turned from OFF to ON, the D/A conversion is stopped.

• Pass data classification setting (Un\G200)

• CH1 Industrial shipment settings offset value (Un\G202) to CH4 User range settings gain value (Un\G217)

Turn OFF → ON → OFF Operating condition setting request (Y9) to restart the D/A conversion.

This section describes the details of I/O signals of D/A converter module for the CPU module. The I/O number described in Appendix 1 shows the case that the start I/O number of the D/A converter module is set to "0".

Appendix 1.1 Input Signal

(1) Module READY (X0)

Module READY (X0) turns ON to indicate that the preparation for the D/A conversion is completed after the power-on or after the reset operation of the CPU module. In the following cases, Module READY (X0) turns off.

• In the offset/gain setting mode (In this case, the D/A conversion processing is executed).

• When a watch dog timer error occurs to the D/A converter module (In this case, the D/A conversion processing is not executed).

(2) External power supply READY flag (X7)

100ms after the external power supply is supplied, External power supply READY flag (X7) turns on, and the D/A conversion processing is executed. The following shows the time chart when the external power supply is turned to ON after the power-on of the CPU module.
