In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious

consequences.

Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

[Design Precautions]

WARNING

● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" (R) of the buffer memory in the intelligent function module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the programmable controller CPU to the intelligent function module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.

● Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a transistor for external output. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.

● When changing data and operating status of the running module from an external device such as a personal computer connected, configure an interlock circuit external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system always operates safely. In addition, before performing online operations, determine corrective actions to be taken between the external device and the module in case of a communication failure due to poor contact of cables.

[Design Precautions]

CAUTION

● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Keep a distance of 150mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.

● During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on. Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.

[Installation Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the Safety Guidelines provided with the CPU module or head module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.

● To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint levers until they click. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.

● Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

[Wiring Precautions]

WARNING

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

● When connecting a differential output terminal to a differential receiver of a drive unit, connect the high-speed output common terminal to the differential receiver common terminal of the drive unit. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction because of the potential difference that occurs between the high-speed output common terminal and the differential receiver common terminal.

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.

● Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause a fire or failure.

● Connectors for external devices must be crimped with the tool specified by the manufacturer or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.

● Tighten the connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.

● A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire chips, from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.

● Ground the shield cable on the encoder side (relay box). Always ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.

● Mitsubishi programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main power supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal block. Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to the MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

WARNING

● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or

retightening the connector screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

CAUTION

● Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.

● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a

module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

● After the first use of the product (module and display unit), do not connect/disconnect the product more than 50 times (in accordance with IEC 61131-2). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.

● Tighten the connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.

● Before handling the module, touch a conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

● When performing online operations of the running module from an external device such as a personal computer connected, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.

● Before changing any setting of the module, read the relevant manuals carefully, ensure the safety, and change the operating status of the CPU module to STOP. Especially when operating the module in the network system, ensure the safety thoroughly because controlled machines are likely to be moved inadvertently. Improper operation may damage machines or cause accidents.

MODULE

For the flexible high-speed I/O control module, users can easily create a high-speed, complicated hardware logic independent

from the CPU module by graphically combining input/outputs, logical operation circuits, and counters with the configuration

tool.

1.1 Features

Controls that have been performed using a microcomputer board or an FPGA board or combining several modules can be

performed only with the flexible high-speed I/O control module.

• High-speed, high-response control with μs orders

• Controls with stable response time

• Logic controls that requires rapidity

• Measurement control with sensor inputs

• Controls triggered by external inputs

By using this module instead of a microcomputer board or an FPGA board, which cannot be supplied steadily and constantly

due to their high introduction cost and design cost, users can configure a system only with a programmable controller,

reducing man-hours and the total system cost.

Because the hardware logic inside the module performs controls without relying on the operation processing time and the bus

transmission time of the CPU module, high-speed, stable I/O responses can be performed. As a result, variations of outputs to

inputs can be reduced.

Flexible controls

I/O signals can be flexibly assigned.

I/Os can be flexibly controlled with high-accuracy counters and timers.

6.2 External Wiring

This section describes wiring of encoders and controllers to the flexible high-speed I/O control module.

External wiring precautions

To obtain the maximum performance from the functions of the flexible high-speed I/O control module and improve the system

reliability, an external wiring with high durability against noise is required.

This section describes the precautions for wiring of encoders and controllers.

Wiring

• Different terminals are prepared depending on the voltage of the signal to be input. Connecting to a terminal with an

incorrect voltage may cause a malfunction of the module or failure of the connected devices.

• In 1-phase pulse input, always connect a pulse input cable on the phase A side.

• Install a fuse for each external terminal to prevent the external devices or module from being burnt out or damaged if a load

shorts in an output circuit. The following fuses have been tested by Mitsubishi.

Fuse model name Rated current Contact

312.750 0.75A Littelfuse

216.800 0.8A

Connector for external devices

• Connectors for external devices must be soldered or crimped properly. A poor soldering or crimping may result in a

malfunction.

• Securely connect the connectors for external devices to the connectors of the flexible high-speed I/O control module, and

securely tighten the two screws.

• When disconnecting a cable from the flexible high-speed I/O control module, do not pull the cable holding the cable part.

Remove a cable supporting the connector part of the cable by hand. Pulling the cable being connected to the flexible high-

speed I/O control module can cause a malfunction. In addition, a damage of the flexible high-speed I/O control module or

cables can result.

www.littelfuse.com

6 INSTALLATION AND EXTERNAL WIRING

6.2 External Wiring

Measures to reduce noise

The flexible high-speed I/O control module may malfunction if pulse-like noise is input. Thus, take the following measures to

reduce noise:

• Always use a shielded twisted pair cable.

• Arrange a shielded twisted pair cable keeping a distance of 150mm or more from the power cable, I/O cables, or other

cables that cause much noise. Wire the shielded twisted pair cable in the minimum distance to the extent possible.

• Ground a shield wire on the encoder side (relay box). Always ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground

conductor.

• Do not wire terminals that are not to be used. Doing so may result in malfunction due to noise.

Wiring example for measures to reduce noise

The following figure shows a wiring example of when the measures to reduce noise are reflected to the actual system.

(1) Keep a distance of 150mm or more from the I/O cables of high voltage devices including a relay and an inverter regardless of whether the devices are

inside and outside the panel.

(2) For metal pipes, do not use solenoid valves and inductive loads together in a single pipe. When the distance from high voltage cables cannot be kept

because of duct wiring or other factors, use shield wires such as CVVS for the high voltage cables.

(3) Keep the minimum distance between an encoder and a relay box. When the distance between the flexible high-speed I/O control module and an encoder

is long, a voltage drop may occur. Check that the voltage while the encoder is operating and the voltage while the encoder has stopped are within the rated voltage range of the encoder using a measuring instrument such as a tester on the terminal block of the relay box. When a voltage drop is large, use a thicker wire or use the 24DCV encoder that consumes less current.

(4) Connect the shield wires of the encoder and the shield wires of the shielded twisted pair cable inside the relay box. When the shield wires of the encoder

in use have not been grounded in the encoder, ground them inside the relay box as shown above.

Take the following measures for compliance with the EMC and Low Voltage Directives.

• Always attach a ferrite core on the DC power supply cable to be connected to the flexible high-speed I/O control module

and the one to be connected to a controller. Using the ESD-SR-250 ferrite core manufactured by NEC TOKIN Corporation

is recommended.

• Install a DC power and the module in the same control panel.

• Use a shielded cable for the DC power when the DC power supply cable is extended out of the control panel.

• The length of the cables to be connected to the output section and external devices must be 2m or shorter for open

collector output or 10m or shorter for differential output.

• Keep the length of the cables between the input section and the external devices to 30m or less.

• Use a shielded twisted pair cable and ground the shielded part of the cable to the control panel with the AD75CK cable

clamp manufactured by Mitsubishi.

For details on the AD75CK, refer to the following.  AD75CK-type Cable Clamping Instruction Manual

• Take the following measures to reduce noise when wiring connectors for external devices.

■Wiring to use a shielded cable

The following figure shows a wiring example for measures to reduce noise using the A6CON1.

(1) Shorten the distance between the connector and shielded cable as far as possible. (2) Ground a FG cable of 2 or thicker in the minimum distance. Securely ground the cable in the control panel on the module side.

Connect the flexible high-speed I/O control module to the SSI encoder using a shielded twisted pair cable of 0.2mm2 or

thicker (24 AWG or larger). Make sure to check the SSI encoder specifications.

In addition, separately prepare an external power supply for the SSI encoder.

• Connect the DATA input to any of IN 0 to IN B.

• Connect the CLK output to OUT 0_DIF for SSI_Encoder_0, and to OUT 1_DIF for SSI_Encoder_1.

Relation between transmission speed and maximum cable length (reference value)

Transmission speed Maximum cable length

100kHz 400m

200kHz 190m

300kHz 120m

400kHz 80m

500kHz 60m

1MHz 25m

1.5MHz 10m

2MHz 5m

The maximum cable length described in the above is a reference value. Depending on the response performance of the SSI

encoder to be connected, the maximum cable length may become shorter than the above description because a response

delay occurs.

Therefore, check the operation using an actual encoder to be connected, and use the module.

If the cable longer than the maximum length described above is used, the module becomes following states.

• An encoder value is fixed to an incorrect value and the module does not count the value correctly.

• An encoder value fluctuates and the module does not count the value correctly.

• An encoder value cannot be read and the module does not count the value correctly.

When connecting differential output terminals to differential receivers of the drive unit, connect the high-speed

output common (OUT_DIF_GND) and the common terminals of the differential receivers of the drive unit.

When the high-speed output common terminals are not connected, the potential difference will be generated

between the high-speed output common (OUT_DIF_GND) and the common terminals of the differential

receivers of the drive unit, damaging the module or causing a malfunction.

Library operation

The following describes the library.

No library exists immediately after the installation of the configuration tool. Register libraries as necessary.

Registering a library

Register the libraries provided by the manufacturer and exported user libraries in the configuration tool. Registering libraries

adds the blocks in library files in the "Library" tab in the Element Selection window.

1. Select the following item.

[Edit]  [Library Registration]

2. Open a library file to be registered in the configuration tool.

3. The registered library is added in the "Library" tab in the Element Selection window.

How to use a library

Registered libraries can be selected from the Element Selection window and dragged and dropped into the work window to

arrange them in the same way as main blocks.

1. Select a block in the Element Selection window. Drag and drop the block into the hardware logic outline window.

When a block is dragged into the hardware logic outline window, the area to which the block can be dropped is highlighted.

2. When the selected block is dropped into the work window, the block is automatically arranged in the highlighted area.

The block name of the arranged library is the same as the main block. For example, when a registered block as a library is a

16-bit unsigned counter, the name of the block arranged in the work window is "Counter_(16bit_Unsigned)".

How to delete a library

Libraries that are no longer required can be deleted from the configuration tool.

1. Click the library to be deleted in the Element Selection window.

2. Right-click the library and select "Eliminate Registration of Library" from the context menu.

Write the hardware logic to the execution memory of the flexible high-speed I/O control module.

The execution memory and the flash ROM can be selected as the write destination of the data. Select only the execution

memory or both the execution memory and the flash ROM as the write destination.

Because the hardware logic written into the flash ROM is read to the execution memory at power-on, a control can be started

without re-setting. However, the number of writable times to a flash ROM is 10000 times. Thus, using different write

destinations as shown in the following examples is recommended.

• When the adjustment is repeated with changing the settings, select "Write to Module (execution memory)".

• After the adjustment is completed, select "Write to Module (execution + flash ROM)".

Users can set a password for the hardware logic by setting "Enable" in the [Security] menu of [Project]. For the hardware logic

When "Write to Module (execution + flash ROM)" has been selected and the number of writes to flash ROM exceeds 10000

times, the error window is displayed. Data can be written to the module even in such situation. However, the data written in the

flash ROM is not guaranteed.

2. When the following conditions are satisfied, set a password.

• "Enable" has been set in the [Security] menu of [Project].

• [Write to Module (execution + flash ROM)] has been selected.

• If data writing is executed while the hardware logic control is operating, the hardware logic control will stop

and the data will be written to the module. After the data writing is completed, the hardware logic control

restarts.

• If data writing is executed while the hardware logic control has stopped, the stop status of the hardware

logic control will continue.

8.10 Debug Function

External input signal data setting area

Simulation can be executed as the debug function.

Simulation function

The simulation function verifies the hardware logic written into the flexible high-speed I/O control module without wiring with

external devices.

With the configuration tool, create "simulation input data", the substitute for external input signals, and write the data into the

flexible high-speed I/O control module to operate the hardware logic.

Simulation results can be saved in CSV files. Saved results can be visually checked with GX LogViewer.

• During simulation, external outputs are actually turned on or off. Thus, execute the simulation under the

situation in which the module has not be connected with external devices or paying adequate attention not

to affect the system.

• Even though the simulation is executed with the hardware logic where an SI device terminal is linked, an

interrupt request to the CPU module is not output.

• Even though the simulation is executed with the hardware logic where an SSI encoder block has been

arranged, the communication with an SSI encoder will not be performed. Thus, position data of the SSI

encoder is not reflected to simulation execution results.

Window layout

The following describes the configurations of the "Simulation Settings" window. In this window, "simulation input data" can be

created and written into the flexible high-speed I/O control module or simulation is executed.
