[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable
controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Configure external safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, and
protective interlock circuit for forward/reverse operation or upper/lower limit positioning.
(2) When the programmable controller detects the following error conditions, it stops the operation
and turn off all the outputs.
• Overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• The CPU module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error by the self-diagnostic
function.
All outputs may turn on when an error occurs in the part, such as I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a
safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe
circuit example, refer to Chapter 9 LOADING AND INSTALLATION in this manual.
(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module relay or transistor. Configure
an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.
In an output module, 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.
A - 1
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals for
the network.
Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
When controlling a running programmable controller from a peripheral connected to the CPU module
or from a personal computer connected to a special function module, configure an interlock circuit in
the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely.
For program modification and operating status change, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure
the safety before operation.
Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,
immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program , and determine corrective
actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication
failure.
When setting up the system, do not allow any empty slot on the base unit.
If any slot is left empty, be sure to use a blank cover (A1SG60) or a dummy module (A1SG62) for it.
Otherwise, internal parts of the module may be flied in the short circuit test or when an overcurrent or
overvoltage is accidentally applied to the external I/O section.
CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables.
Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled through an output module, a
large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from
off to on.
Take measures such as replacing the module with one having a sufficient current rating.
After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size.
Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.

4.CPU MODULE
4.1.1Overview of operation processing
An overview of processing when starting power supply for the CPU module to execution of
the sequence program is explained.
CPU modules 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 (turns off the bit
device and sets 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 unit.
(d) Execute the self-diagnostics check for the parameter setting and the operation
circuit. (Refer to Section 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/QCPU-A (A Mode) Programming Manual (Fundamentals).)
(3)Operation processing of a sequence program
Executes the sequence program from step 0 to the END instruction written in the
programmable controller 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) Executes self-diagnosis checks, such as a fuse blown, a module verify, and a
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/QCPU-A (A Mode) Programming Manual (Fundamentals).)
(c) Executes the data exchange between the programmable controller CPU and a
computer link module (e.g.A1SJ71UC24-R2), when there is a data read or write
request from the computer link module.
4 - 4
CPU MODULE4.
(d) Executes 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 device status for which it is setup into
the sampling trace area.
(f)By setting link information, I/O storage device, etc. of the MELSECNET/MINI-S3
to the parameters, auto refresh processing of the A1SJ71PT32-S3 master
module is performed. (Refer to Section 4.2.6)

POINT
When executing the FROM/TO instruction for the special function module
frequently in short scan time, it may cause the target special function module
operation error.
When executing FROM/TO instruction to the special function module, set the
processing time and converter time by using such as a timer and a constant scan
function of the special function module.

4.CPU MODULE
4.1.2Operation processing of RUN, STOP, PAUSE, and STEP-RUN
The programmable controller CPU has four kinds of operation status: RUN status, STOP
status, PAUSE status, and step operation (STEP-RUN) status.
Operation processing of programmable controller CPU in each operation status is
explained.
(1)RUN status operation processing
(a) The repetition of sequence program operation in the order from step 0 END
(FEND) instruction step 0 is called the RUN status.
(b) When entering the RUN status, the output status saved by STOP is output
depending on the output mode setting of parameter upon STOP RUN.
(c) Processing time from switching STOP RUN to the start of the sequence
program operation is usually one to three seconds, although it may vary
depending on the system configuration.
(2)STOP status operation processing
(a) The termination of operation of the sequence program by the use of the RUN/
STOP key switch, the remote STOP, or at the execution of STOP instruction is
called the STOP status. (Refer to Section 4.3)
(b) When entering the STOP status, it saves the output status and sets all output
points to OFF. Data memories except for output (Y) are retained.
(3)PAUSE status operation processing
(a) The termination of operation of sequence program while retaining output and
data memories is called the PAUSE status. (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.

4.CPU MODULE
4.1.3Operation processing upon instantaneous power failure
The programmable controller CPU detects a momentary power failure when input power
voltage supplied to the power supply module becomes lower than the specified range.
When the programmable controller CPU detects an instantaneous power failure, the
following operation processing is performed.
(1)When an instantaneous power failure shorter than allowable momentary power
failure period occurred:
(a) When an instantaneous power failure occurred, the operation processing is
interrupted while the output status is retained.
(b) When the instantaneous power failure is reset, the operation processing will be
continued.
(c) When an instantaneous power failure occurred and the operation was
interrupted, measurement of the watchdog timer (WDT) continues. For instance,
in the case that WDT is 200ms and the scan time is 190ms, if an instantaneous
power failure of 15ms occurs, it causes the watchdog timer error.

The operation processing is the same as power-on or reset operation with the reset
switch.

4.CPU MODULE
4.1.4Self-diagnostics functions
Self-diagnosis is a function that a CPU module diagnoses itself for the presence of any
abnormalities.
(1)While turning on the programmable controller power or when an error occurs in the
programmable controller RUN, the error is detected and displayed, and the operation
is stopped by the self-diagnostics function, which the CPU module performs, to
prevent programmable controller malfunctions and give preventive maintenance.
(2)The CPU module 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 backup.
With a GPP function software package for the AnUCPU, contents of up to 16 errors
can be confirmed with the peripheral devices.
Reset (All clear) in the past error information can be performed by operating "latch
clear" in the CPU module.
The following shows contents of the error information. (The error which occurred
last):
(a) The time and date of error occurrences..... Year, month, day, hour, minute,

(4)When detecting an error by self-diagnosis, QCPU takes action in the following
modes:
• Mode wherein the programmable controller operation is stopped
• Mode wherein the programmable controller operation is continued
In addition, some errors can be skipped or stopped by setting parameters.
(a) When an operation stop error is detected by the self-diagnosis, the AnSHCPU
stops the operation at error detection, and sets the all outputs(Y) to OFF.
(b) When an error of operation continued is detected, the only part of the program
with the error is not executed while the other part is executed.
Also, in the case of module verify error, the operation is continued using the I/O
address prior to the error.
Since error occurrence and error contents are stored in the special relay (M) and
special register (D) at error detection, use in the program for preventing any
malfunctions of the programmable controller or mechanical system especially in
mode wherein the programmable controller operation is continued.
Error definition detected by the self-diagnosis are shown in the next page.
(1) As to the LED indication message, the order of priority of the LED
indication can be changed if CPU module is in the operation mode.

4.2.3Setting 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 serial 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 257 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 be in the range C244
to C255 only, and any counters outside the range cannot be set up.
The setup is made with parameters in C224 to C255 by one point 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 - 22
CPU MODULE4.
The interrupt counters in C224 to C255 are allocated to the interrupt pointers I0 to I31 as
shown below, and count the occurrences of interrupts by those of I0 to I31.

(d) The counter-use points can be set arbitrarily by 16 points using the serial
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 the timer-use points are set to 257 points or more or the counter-use points
are set to 257 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 the serial
numbers.
<Example>
When the timer-use points are set to 512 points and the set value storage device
is set to D1000, D equivalent to 256 points (D1000 to D1255) in T256 to T511
becomes the devices for the set values using the continuous numbers.

4.CPU MODULE
4.2.6MELSECNET/MINI-S3 auto refresh processing
By setting link information, I/O storage device, etc. of the MELSECNET/MINI-S3 to the
parameters, the module automatically communicates with the buffer memory area for the
batch refresh send/received data of the A1SJ71PT32-S3/AJ71PT32-S3 master module
(abbreviated as the master module hereafter).
Sequence programs can be created using the I/O devices allocated to send/received by
the auto refresh setting. (The FROM/TO instructions are not required.)
POINT
(1) Since up to 8 master modules can be set for auto refresh by the parameter,
auto refresh is possible for up to 8 modules.
When 9 or more modules are desired, use the FROM/TO instruction in the
sequence program from the 9th module.
(2) Since auto refresh is not possible with send/received data for the separate
refresh I/O modules and for the remote terminal modules No.1 to No.14, use
them by the FROM/TO instructions.
However, the remote terminal modules shown below are subject of auto
refresh in the limited area:
(3) For the master modules set up for auto refresh, since the CPU module
automatically turns on the link communication start signal Y(n+18) or
Y(n+28), it is not necessary to turn it on from the sequence program.
(4) Auto refresh of I/O data is performed by batch after the CPU module
executes the END instruction. (Auto refresh processing is performed when
the CPU module is in the RUN/PAUSE/STEP-RUN status.)
(5) The master module may perform the processing while the link
communication start signal Y(n+28) is off depending on the remote terminal
modules 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.
Since the link communication start signal turns on after the CPU module
enters the RUN status and one scan is performed, write the parameters
during the first 1 scan.

3) The device numbers of input modules connected are as follows:
Stations 1 to 4AX41C X400 to X41F
Stations 5 to 6AJ35TB-16D X420 to X42F
Stations 7 to 8AX40Y50C X430 to X43F
With respect to X440 to X45F, they are simultaneously refreshed, and turned
off at all time.
Do not use X440 to X45F in the sequence program.
(b) Send data storage device
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, since the total number of stations is odd, it
is occupied for one extra station.
3) The device numbers of output modules connected are as follows:
Stations 9 to 10 AX40Y50C Y440 to Y44F
Station 11AJ35TJ-8R Y450 to Y457
With respect to Y400 to Y43F and Y458 to Y44F, they are simultaneously
refreshed, but are not output.
POINT
(1) Set the send and received data storage devices so that device numbers are
not overlapped.
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.
(3) Device range used is (8 points) (Number of stations).
When the number of stations is an odd number, extra 8 points are necessary.

4.4Functions added to QCPU-A
This section describes the new functions added to QCPU-A (A mode) which are not
available with A2USHCPU-S1.
4.4.1Boot operation from built-in ROM
Boot operation can be performed by booting parameters and sequence programs from the
built-in ROM to the built-in RAM at start-up.
The boot operation from the built-in ROM allows the retention of sequence programs
without using batteries even when the power is off.
The following shows the procedure for the boot operation from the built-in ROM:
(1)Operation methods
There are two methods to operate QCUP-A: The RAM operation uses the built-in
RAM. The boot operation uses the built-in ROM and boots parameters and sequence
programs from the built-in ROM to the built-in RAM at start-up.
QCPU-A allows checking the current operation method by setting DIP switch 3 and
M9073. The following table shows the setting combination.

4.4.2Usage of 1ms timer
With QCPU-A, a 1ms timer can be used in addition to the conventional high-speed
timer (10ms) and low-speed timer (100ms).
(1)Usage
Adding ZHTIME, a 1ms timer setting instruction, in a program enables the use of a
1ms timer. (The ZHTIME instruction must be written in the main program.)
The ZHTIME instruction is checked at start-up and at switching from STOP to RUN.
When this instruction exists in the main program, the 1ms timer can be used.
If the ZHTIME instruction does not exist in the main program, only the 100ms/10ms
timer can be used, and the 1ms timer is disabled.
The number of occupied points is set as the total points of the 100ms timer, 10ms
timer, retentive timer, and 1ms timer.
The area for the 1ms timer is reserved following that of the retentive timer.
Consequently, the constant specified with the ZHTIME instruction is designated as
the device number following that of the retentive timer specified by parameters in the
unit of 16 points.
(2)Use example of the ZHTIME instruction
The following shows the use example of the ZHTIME instruction.
Example) When the timer in 1ms is set at T208 or later:

(b) Setting example when the expansion timer is used
According to the setting above, the devices designated for the 100ms timer are
T0 to T239, for the 10ms timer are T240 to T319, for the retentive timer are T320
to T399, and for the 1ms timer are T400 to T511.
POINT
Note the following points to use the ZHTIME instruction.
(1) The ZHTIME instruction must be written in the main program.
(2) The ZHTIME instruction must be designated in the unit of 16 points.
(3) The number of occupied points designated in the timer setting by parameters
should include those for the 1ms timer.
(4) When the range for the timer setting by parameters is between T256 and
2047, the initial device number to be used should be set at the item of the
retentive timer between T256 and 2047.
The 100ms timer should be used as the retentive timer.

When 1 to 255 is designated at D9077, M9077 is
turned on at the first scan.
When a value other than 1 to 255 is designated at
D9077, the value in D9077 is reset to 0 and M9077 is
always turned off.
When a value other than 1 to 255ms is designated,
the value in D9077 is reset to 0.
4.4.3Sequence accumulation time processing
With QCPU-A, as the scan time becomes faster, it may affect the processing of FROM/TO
instruction or the scan time for special function modules.
Such problems can be avoided by using the following special relay and special register as
interlock and executing FROM/TO instruction in the unit of several ms.

In the diagram above, M9077 is ON at the first scan so that the instruction is
executed. At the beginning of the second scan, the accumulation time does not
reach 5 ms. As a result, M9077 turns OFF, the accumulation time is cleared, and
the instruction is not executed. At the end of the second scan, the accumulation
time does not reach 5 ms, so that M9077 remains OFF and the instruction is not
executed. At the end of the third scan, the accumulation time exceeds 5ms. As a
result, M9077 turns ON, the accumulation time is cleared, and the instruction is
executed at the forth scan. At the end of the forth scan, the accumulation time
exceeds 5ms, so that M9077 remains ON and the instruction is executed at the
fifth scan. At the end of the fifth scan, the accumulation time does not reach 5ms
so that M9077 turns OFF. The accumulation time is cleared and the instruction is
not executed at the sixth scan.

The following program example executes the FROM/TO instruction in the unit of
several seconds using M9077 and D9077 above.
*1The setting range for the sequence accumulation time is 1 to 255ms (default: 5ms).
The value in D9077 should be in the range between 1 and 255. Otherwise, the value in D9077
is reset to 0 and M9077 is always OFF.
*2If the instruction signal for the FROM/TO instruction is a pulse signal, the interlock with M9077
may mask the FROM/TO instruction, disabling execution. In such a case, keep the instruction
signal once in the other device.
*3If execution order is set to the FROM/TO instruction, adding M9077 may change the
execution order. In such a case, do not use M9077, and make the execution interval of the
FROM/TO instruction longer with a user program.

below.
(a) RUN/STOP switch: STOP
RUN LED: Off...........CPU STOP statusProgram write
(b) RUN/STOP switch: STOPRUN
RUN LED: On............CPU RUN status
(2)Writing programs during RUN
When writing a program during RUN of the CPU module, do not operate the
switches.
4.6.3Latch clear operation
(1)Latch clear operation procedure
To perform latch clear, operate the RESET/L.CLR switch as follows.
(a) RESET/L.CLR switch: Turn the switch to L.CLR several times until the USER
LED flickers.
(Do not turn it to RESET.)
USER LED: Flicker...........Ready for latch clear
(b) RESET/L.CLR switch: Turn the switch to L.CLR once again.
USER LED: Off.............Latch clear completed
4.6.4Handling of the memory card at power-on
Do not install or remove the memory card while the power is on.
If installing or removing the memory card at power-on, the data within the memory card
may be corrupted.
POINT
The write protect information of the memory card can be recognized by the CPU
module when the programmable controller is powered on or when a CPU module
is reset. Note the following.
• When the power supply is turned on with the memory card write protect switch
on, the program cannot be written even when the memory card write protect
switch is turned off to modify the program. To modify the program, turn off the
power supply or reset the CPU module.
• When the power supply is turned off with the memory card write protect switch
set to off, the write protect will not function even when the memory card write
protect switch is turned on to protect the program. To enable write protection,
turn off the power supply or reset the CPU module.

*1 Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5VDC and/or 24VDC circuit(s) and stops the system
if the current exceeding the specified value flows in the circuit(s).
As this results in voltage drop, the power supply module LED turns off or is dimly on.
After that, eliminate the causes of overcurrent, e.g., insufficient current capacity and short-circuit,
and then start the system.
When the current value has reached the normal value, the initial start-up of the system will be
performed.
*2 Overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection shuts off the 5VDC circuit and stops the system if the overvoltage of 5.5
to 6.5V is applied to the circuit.
This results in the power supply module LED turning off.
When restarting the system, power off and on the input power supply, and the initial start-up of the
system will be performed. If the system is not booted and the LED remains off, this means that the
power supply module has to be replaced.
*3 Allowable momentary power failure period
The allowable momentary power failure period of programmable controller CPUs varies depending
on the power supply module used.
In case of the A1S63P power supply module, the allowable momentary power failure period is
defined as the time from when the primary side of the stabilized power supply for supplying 24VDC
to the A1S63P is turned off until when the voltage (secondary side) has dropped from 24VDC to the
specified voltage (15.6VDC) or less.
*4 Inrush current
If the power supply module is re-powered on right after powered off (within 5seconds), the inrush
current exceeding the specified value (2ms or less) may be generated. Therefore, make sure to repower on the module 5seconds after power off.
When selecting a fuse or breaker for external circuit, consider the above point as well as blown and
detection characteristics.
