Before You Start

Installation environment

Do not use the FPΣ unit where it will be exposed to the following:

Direct sunlight and ambient temperatures outside the
range of 0_Cto55_C/32_F to 131_F.

Ambient humidity outside the range of 30% to 85% RH
and sudden temperature changes causing condensation.

Inflammable or corresive gas.
Excessive vibration or shock.
Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or salts.
Water or oil in any from including spray or mist.
Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents

or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic
soda.

Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage
equipment, power cables, power equipment, radio
transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate
high switching surges.

Static electricity

Before touching the unit, always touch a grounded piece
of metal in order to discharge static electricity.

In dry locations, excessive static electricity can cause
problems.

Cleaning

Do not use thinner based cleaners because they deform
the unit case and fade the colors.

Power supplies

An insulated power supply with an internal protective
circuit should be used. The power supply for the control
unit operation is a non-insulated circuit, so if an
incorrect voltage is directly applied, the internal circuit
may be damaged or destroyed.

If using a power supply without a protective circuit,
power should be supplied through a protective element
such as a fuse.

Before You Start

FPΣ

ix

Power supply sequence

Have the power supply sequence such that the power
supply of the control unit turns off before the power
supply for input and output.

If the power supply for input and output is turned off
before the power supply of the control unit, the control
unit will detect the input fluctuations and may begin an
unscheduled operation.

Before turning on the power

Whenturningonthepowerfor the first time, be sure to taketheprecautionsgivenbelow.

When performing installation, check to make sure that
there are no scraps of wiring, particularly conductive
fragments, adhering to the unit.

Verify that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring, and power
supply voltage are all correct.

Sufficiently tighten the installation screws and terminal
screws.

Set the mode selector to PROG. mode.

Before entering a program

Be sure to perform a program clear operation before entering a program.

Operation procedure when using FPWIN GR Ver.2

Procedure:

1. Select “On

line Edit Mode” on the FPWIN GR

“On l

ine” menu.

2. Select “Cl

Request concerning program storage

To prevent the accidental loss of programs, the user should consider the following
measures.

Drafting of documents

To avoid accidentally losing programs, destroying files, or
overwriting the contents of a file, documents should be
printed out and then saved.

Specifying the password carefully

The password setting is designed to avoid programs being
accidentally overwritten. If the password is forgotten,
however, it will be impossible to overwrite the program even if
you want to. Also, if a password is forcibly bypassed, the
program is deleted. When specifying the password, note it in
the specifications manual or in another safe location in case
it is forgotten at some point.

1.1 Features and Functions of the Unit

Powerful control capabilities

All of the functions of a mid-scale PLC are packed into the compact body size of the
32-point type FP0. A program capacity of 12 k steps is provided as a standard feature,
so you never have to worry about how much memory is left as you’re programming. In
addition, 32 k words are reserved for data registers, so large volumes of data can be
compiled and multiple operations can be processed without running out of memory.

A full range of communication functions

Using the Tool port (RS232C) provided as a standard feature on the main unit,
communication can be carried out with a display panel or computer. Additionally,
communication cassettes with RS232C and RS485 interfaces are available as an
option. Installing a 2-channel RS232C type communication cassette in the FPΣ makes
it possible to connect two devices with RS232C port. A full lineup of communication
functions means you can also work with 1:N communication and PLC link function (up
to 16 units).

Measures regarding power supply sequence (start up sequence)

The power supply sequence should be set up so that power to the control unit is turned
off before the input/output power supplies.

If the input/output power supplies are turned off before the power to the control unit, the
control unit will detect the input fluctuations and may begin an unscheduled operation.

Be sure to supply power to a control unit and an expansion unit from the same power
supply, and turn the power on and off simultaneously for both.

5.2.2 Grounding

Under normal conditions, the inherent noise resistance is sufficient. However, in
situations of excess noise, ground the instrument to increase noise suppression.

For grounding purposes, use wiring with a minimum of 2 mm

2

. The grounding

connection should have a resistance of less than 100 Ω.
The point of grounding should be as close to the PLC unit as possible. The ground wire

should be as short as possible.
If two devices share a single ground point, it may produce an adverse effect. Always

use an exclusive ground for each device.

5.6 Safety Measures

This section explains the safety measures, momentary power failures and protection
of power supply and output.

5.6.1 Safety Measures

Precautions regarding system design

In certain applications, malfunction may occur for the following reasons:

Power on timing differences between the PLC system and
input/output or mechanical power apparatus

Responce time lag when a momentary power drop occurs
Abnormality in the PLC unit, external power supply, or other

devices

In order to prevent a malfunction resulting in system shutdown choose the adequates
safety measures listed in the following:

Interlock circuit

When a motor clockwise/counter-clockwise operation iscontrolled, provide an interlock
circuit externally.

Emergency stop circuit

Add an emergency stop circuit externally to controlled devices in order to prevent a
system shutdown or an irreparable accident when malfunction occurs.

Start up sequence

The PLC should be operated after all of the outside devices are energized. To keep this
sequence, the following measures are recommended:

Turn on the PLC with the mode selector set to the PROG. mode,
and then switch to the RUN mode.

Program the PLC so as to disregard the inputs and outputs until
the outside devices are energized

Note

When stopping the operation of the PLC also, have the
input/output devices turned off after the PLC has stopped
operating.

Grounding

When installing the PLC next to devices that generate high voltages from switching,
such as inverters, do not ground them together. Use an exclusive ground for each
device.

FPΣ

5.6 Safety Measures

5-23

5.6.2 Momentary Power Failures

Operation of momentary power failures

If the duration of the power failure is less than 4 ms, the FPΣ continues to operate. If
the power is off for 4 ms or longer, operation changes depending on the combination
of units, the power supply voltage, and other factors. (In some cases, operation may
be the same as that for a power supply reset.)

5.6.3 Protection of Power Supply and Output Sections

Power supply

An insulated power supply withan internal protective circuit should be used. The power
supply for the control unit operation is a non-insulated circuit, so if an incorrect voltage
is directly applied, the internal circuit may be damaged or destroyed. If using a power
supply without a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective
element such as a fuse.

Protection of output

If current exceeding the rated control capacity is being supplied in the form of a motor
lock current or a coil shorting in an electromagnetic device, a protective element such
as a fuse should be attached externally.

Battery for FPΣ AFPG804

Notes

If system register “No. 4 Alarm Battery Error” is set to “ON”,
special internal relays R9005 and R9006 will go on if the
battery voltage drops, and the ERROR/ALARM LED will flash.
The battery remains effective for about a week after the alarm
is issued, but in some cases the problem is not detected
immediately. The battery should be replaced as soon as
possible, without turning off the power supply.

When replacing the battery, connect the new battery within 20
seconds of removing the old one.

6.1.2 Performance of Built-in High-speed Counter

Number of channel

There are four channels for the built-in high-speed counter.
The channel number allocated for the high-speed counter will change depending on

the function being used.

Counting range

K-2,147,483,648 to K2,147,483,647 (Coded 32-bit binary)
The built-in high-speed counter is a ring counter. Consequently, if the counted

value exceeds the maximum value, it returns to the minimum value. Similarly, if the
counted value drops below the minimum value, it goes back to the maximum value
and continues counting from there.

Max. value =

Min. value =

Note

When the linear interpolation instruction F175 or the circular
interpolation instruction F176 is used, the value for the target
value or the amount of travel should be set so that it is within the
range indicated below.

-8,388,608 to +8,388,607 (24-bit binary, with sign)
The F175 and F176 instructions can be used only with the C32T2

The inputs and outputs allocated to the various functions listed in the table in the
previous section “6.2.1” cannot be allocated to more than one function.

Except for the examples noted below, inputs and outputs that have been allocated to
the various functions cannot be allocated as normal inputs and outputs.

Cases in which inputs and outputs can be used as exceptions

Example 1:

If no reset input is used in the high-speed counter function,
X2 and X5 are allocated as normal inputs.

Example 2:

If no output is used to clear the differential counter in the
pulse output function, Y2 and Y5 are allocated as normal
outputs.

Restrictions on the execution of related instructions (F166 to F176)

When any of the instructions related to the high-speed counter “

F166toF176”

are
executed,thecontrolflag(specialinternalrelay: R903A to R903D) corresponding tothe
used channel turns on.

Please be aware that the control flag is in progress may change while a scan is being
carried out. To prevent this, an internal relay should be substituted at the beginning of
the program.

When the flag for a channel turns on, another instruction cannot be executed using that
same channel.

Restrictions for maximum counting speed and pulse output frequency

The counting speed when using the high-speed counter function will differ depending
on the counting mode as shown in the table on page 6 - 5.

Example 1:

While in the decremental input mode and using the two
channels CH0 and CH1, CH0 and CH1 can be used up to 30 kHz.

Example 2:

While in the two-phase input mode and using the two channels
CH0 and CH2, CH0 and CH2 can be used up to 15 kHz.

The maximum output frequency when using the pulse output function will differ
depending on the number of channel being used as shown in the table on page 6 - 6.

Example 1:

When using only one channel, CH0, up to 100 kHz can be used.

Example 2:

When using two channels, CH0 and CH2, up to 60 kHz may be
used for each channel.

Example 3:

When linear interpolation control is being carried out on CH0
and CH2, a composite speed of up to 100 kHz may be used for
the pulse output function. When circular interpolation control is
being carried out, the maximum composite speed that may be
used is 20 kHz.

If using both the pulse output function and the high-speed counter function, the
following combinations result.

Example 1:

When using one pulse output channel with a maximum output of
60 kHz, the maximum counting speed of the high-speed counter
is 20 kHz in the single-phase and three channels mode.

Example 2:

When using one pulse output channel with a maximum output of
60 kHz, the maximum counting speed of the high-speed counter
is 15 kHz in the two-phase and one channel mode.

Note

The linear and circular interpolation control functions can be
used with the C32T2 control unit only.

6.3 High-speed Counter Function

This section explains about the high-speed counter function of FPΣ.

6.3.1 Overview of High-speed Counter Function

High-speed counter function

The high-speedcounter function counts the input signals, and when the count reaches
the target value, turns on and off the desired output.

To turn on an output when the target value is matched, use the target value match on
instructionF166 (HC1S). To turn off an output, use the target valuematch off instruction
F167 (HC1R).

Preset the output to be turned on and off with the SET/RET instruction.

Setting the system register

In order to use the high-speed counter function, it is necessary to set system register
Nos. 400 and 401.

6.4 Pulse Output Function

This section explains about the pulse output function of FPΣ.

6.4.1 Overview of Pulse Output Function

Instructions used and controls

The pulse output function enables positioning control by use in combination with a
commercially available pulse-string input type motor driver.

Providestrapezoidal(table-shaped) control with the exclusiveinstructionF171 (SPDH)
for automatically obtaining pulse outputs by specifying the initial speed, maximum
speed, acceleration/deceleration time, and target value.

The exclusive instruction F171 (SPDH) also enables automatic home return operation.
A dedicated instruction, F172 (PLSH), is available for jogging operation, which causes

pulses to be output as long as the execution condition is on. A target value can also be
set, so that pulse output stops at the point when the target value is matched.

A dedicated instruction, F174 (PL0H), is available that outputs pulses in conformance
with the data table, so that positioning control can be carried out in accordance with the
data table.

A dedicated instruction, F175 (SPSH), is available for linear interpolation control. This
enables pulses to be output using linear interpolation control, by specifying the
composite speed, the acceleration/deceleration time, and the target value.

A dedicated instruction, F176 (SPCH), is available for circular interpolation control. The
user can select one of two circular forming methods, one by specifying the pass
positions and the other by specifying a center position. Pulses are output using circular
interpolation control, by specifying the various parameters.

Note

The linear interpolation control instruction F175(SPSH) and
circular interpolation control instruction F176(SPCH) can be used
with the C32T2 control unit only.

Setting the system register

When using the pulse output function, set the channels corresponding to system
registers 400 and 401 to “Do not use high-speed counter.”

6.4.3 I/O Allocation

Double pulse input driver (CW pulse input and CCW pulse input method)

Two output contact are used as a pulse output for “CW, CCW”.
TheI/O allocation of pulseoutput terminal and homeinput is determined bythe channel

used. (See the table of specifications on page 6 - 6.)
Set the control code for F171 (SPDH) instruction to “CW/CCW”.

One output point is used as a pulse output and the other output is used as a direction
output.

The I/O allocation of pulse output terminal, direction output terminal, and home input
is determined by the channel used. (See the table of specifications on page 6 - 6.)

Near home input is substituted by allocating the desired contact and turning on and off
the specified bit of special data register DT90052.

Up to two driver systems can be connected.

Home return

Until the home position input (X2 or X5) is entered by executing F171 (SPDH)
instruction, the pulse is continuously output.

To decelerate the movement when near the home, set the bit corresponding to the
special data register DT90052 to off → on → off with the home position proximity input.

Thedifferentialcounter clear output can be output when the return to the home position
has been completed.

JOG operation

Pulses are output from the specified channel while the trigger for F172 (PLSH)
instruction is in the on state. Also, the pulse output can be stopped when the specified
target value is matched.

The direction output and output frequency are specified by F172 (PLSH) instruction.
