Application Precautions 5
!Caution Failure to observe the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of
the PC or the system, or could damage the PC or PC Units. Always heed these precautions.
• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions, or other causes.
• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event that outputs from Output Units remain ON as a result of internal cir­cuit failures, which can occur in relays, transistors, and other elements.
• Always turn ON power to the PC before turning ON power to the control system. If the PC power supply is turned ON after the control power sup­ply, temporary errors may result in control system signals because the output terminals on DC Output Units and other Units will momentarily turn ON when power is turned ON to the PC.
• Do not turn OFF the power supply to the PC when data is being trans­ferred. In particular, do not turn OFF the power supply when reading or writing a Memory Card. Also, do not remove the Memory Card when the BUSY indicator is lit. To remove a Memory Card, first press the memory card power supply switch and then wait for the BUSY indicator to go out before removing the Memory Card.
• If the I/O Hold Bit (SR 25212) is turned ON, the outputs from the PC will not be turned OFF and will maintain their previous status when the PC is switched from RUN or MONITOR mode to PROGRAM mode. Make sure that the external loads will not produce dangerous conditions when this occurs. (When operation stops for a fatal error, including those produced with the FALS(07) instruction, all outputs from Output Unit will be turned OFF and only the internal output status will be maintained.)
• Install the Units properly as specified in the operation manuals. Improper installation of the Units may result in malfunction.
• Mount Units only after checking terminal blocks and connectors com­pletely.
• When assembling the Units or mounting the end cover, be sure to lock them securely as shown in the following illustrations. If they are not prop­erly locked, desired functionality may not be achieved.
• Be sure to mount the end cover to the rightmost Unit.
• Be sure that all the mounting screws, terminal screws, and cable connec­tor screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect tightening torque may result in malfunction.
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, Memory Units, expansion I/O cables, and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may result in malfunction.
• Be sure to confirm the orientation and polarities when connecting terminal blocks and connectors.
• Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may result in malfunction if foreign matter enters the Unit.
• Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dis­sipation. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
• Wire all connections correctly.
• When supplying power at 200 to 240 V AC from a CQM1-PA216 Power Supply Unit, always remove the metal jumper from the voltage selector

• Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input volt­age. Excess voltages may result in burning.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of the maximum switching capacity. Excess voltage or loads may result in burning.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-cir­cuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-cir­cuiting may result in burning.
• Always use the power supply voltages specified in the operation manuals. An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.
• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
• Disconnect the functional ground terminal when performing withstand voltage tests. Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result in burning.
• Check switch settings, the contents of the DM Area, and other prepara­tions before starting operation. Starting operation without the proper set­tings or data may result in an unexpected operation.
• Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected opera­tion.
• Double-check all wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power supply. Incorrect wiring may result in burning.
• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting any of the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Changing the operating mode of the PC.
• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
• Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order to discharge any static build-up. Not doing so may result in malfunc­tion or damage.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Doing either of these may break the cables.
• Do not place objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may break the cables.
• Resume operation only after transferring to the new CPU Unit the con­tents of the DM Area, HR Area, and other data required for resuming operation. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Do not short the battery terminals or charge, disassemble, heat, or incin­erate the battery. Do not subject the battery to strong shocks. Doing any of these may result in leakage, rupture, heat generation, or ignition of the battery. Dispose of any battery that has been dropped on the floor or oth-
or less must be installed when shorting the GR and LG

• UL standards required that batteries be replaced only by experienced technicians. Do not allow unqualified persons to replace batteries.
• When replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the rating of a new part is correct. Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.
• When transporting or storing circuit boards, cover them in antistatic mate­rial to protect them from static electricity and maintain the proper storage temperature.
• Do not touch circuit boards or the components mounted to them with your bare hands. There are sharp leads and other parts on the boards that may cause injury if handled improperly.
• Before touching a Unit or Board, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object to discharge any static build-up from your body. Not doing so may result in malfunction or damage.
• Provide sufficient clearances around the Unit and other devices to ensure proper heat dissipation. Do not cover the ventilation openings of the Unit.
• For wiring, use crimp terminals of the appropriate size as specified in rel­evant manuals.
• Do not allow metallic objects or conductive wires to enter the Unit.
• Set the operating settings of the Temperature Controller properly accord­ing to the system to be controlled.
• Provide appropriate safety measures, such as overheat prevention and alarm systems, in separate circuits to ensure safety of the entire system even when the Temperature Controller malfunctions.
• Allow at least 10 minutes after turning ON the Temperature Controller as warmup time.
• Do not use thinner to clean the product. Use commercially available cleaning alcohol.
• Mount the I/O Control Unit on the right of the CPU Block.
• When using Expansion I/O Blocks, configure the system so that the cur­rent consumptions for the CPU Block and each of the Expansion I/O Blocks do not exceed the specified values, and that the total current con­sumption does not exceed the current capacity of the Power Supply Unit.
• Configure the system so that the number of Units in both the CPU Block and Expansion I/O Blocks do not exceed the maximum number of con­nectable Units for the Block.

Conformance to EC Directives 6

6 Conformance to EC Directives

6-1 Applicable Directives
•EMC Directives
• Low Voltage Directive
6-2 Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or machines. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the stan­dards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Direc­tives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or control panel in which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN61131-2 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN61000-6-4
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 V AC or 75 to 1,500 V DC meet the required safety standards for the PC (EN61131-2).
6-3 Conformance to EC Directives
The CQM1H-series PCs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which a CQM1H-series PC is used complies with EC directives, the PC must be installed as follows:
1,2,3... 1. The PC must be installed within a control panel.
2. Reinforced insulation or double insulation must be used for the DC power supplies used for the communications and I/O power supplies.
3. PCs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN61000-6-4). When a PC is built into a machine, however, noise can be generated by switching devices using relay outputs and cause the overall machine to fail to meet the Standards. If this occurs, surge killers must be connected or other measures taken external to the PC.
The following methods represent typical methods for reducing noise, and may not be sufficient in all cases. Required countermeasures will vary de­pending on the devices connected to the control panel, wiring, the config­uration of the system, and other conditions.
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
6-4 Relay Output Noise Reduction Methods
The CQM1H-series PCs conforms to the Common Emission Standards (EN61000-6-4) of the EMC Directives. However, noise generated by relay out­put switching may not satisfy these Standards. In such a case, a noise filter
xxiv
Conformance to EC Directives 6
must be connected to the load side or other appropriate countermeasures must be provided external to the PC.
Countermeasures taken to satisfy the standards vary depending on the devices on the load side, wiring, configuration of machines, etc. Following are examples of countermeasures for reducing the generated noise.
Countermeasures
Refer to EN61000-6-4 for more details. Countermeasures are not required if the frequency of load switching for the
whole system including the PC is less than 5 times per minute. Countermeasures are required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system including the PC is 5 times or more per minute.
Countermeasure Examples
When switching an inductive load, connect a surge protector, diodes, etc., in parallel with the load or contact as shown below.

the load changes energy accumulated by the coil into a current, which then flows into the coil so that the current will be converted into Joule heat by the resistance of the inductive load.
This time lag, between the moment the circuit is opened and the moment the load is reset, caused by this method is longer than that caused by the CR method.
sition of high voltage between the con­tacts by using the constant voltage characteristic of the varistor. There is time lag between the moment the cir­cuit is opened and the moment the load is reset.
If the supply voltage is 24 or 48 V, insert the varistor in parallel with the load. If the supply voltage is 100 to 200 V, insert the varistor between the con­tacts.
The capacitance of the capacitor must be 1 to 0.5 µF per contact current of 1 A and resistance of the resistor must be 0.5 to 1 per contact voltage of 1 V. These values, however, vary with the load and the characteristics of the relay. Decide these values from testing, and take into consideration that the capacitance suppresses spark dis­charge when the contacts are sepa­rated and the resistance limits the current that flows into the load when the circuit is closed again.
The dielectric strength of the capacitor must be 200 to 300 V. If the circuit is an AC circuit, use a capacitor with no polarity.
The reversed dielectric strength value of the diode must be at least 10 times as large as the circuit voltage value. The forward current of the diode must be the same as or larger than the load current.
The reversed dielectric strength value of the diode may be two to three times larger than the supply voltage if the surge protector is applied to electronic circuits with low circuit voltages.

PC Setup Section 1-1

1-1 PC Setup

The PC Setup contains operating parameters that control CQM1H operation. To make the maximum use of CQM1H functionality when using interrupt pro­cessing and communications functions, the PC Setup may be customized according to operating conditions.
The general PC Setup settings are contained in DM 6600 to DM 6655 and the Serial Communications Board settings are contained in DM 6550 to DM 6559. Strictly speaking, the Serial Communications Board settings are part of the read-only DM area, not the PC Setup, but they are included here because they are so similar to PC Setup settings.
The PC Setup defaults are set for general operating conditions, so that the CQM1H can be used without having to change the settings. You are, however, advised to check the default values before attempting operation.
Default Values The default values for the PC Setup are 0000 for all words. The default values
for DM 6600 to DM 6655 can be reset at any time by turning ON SR 25210.
!Caution When data memory (DM) is cleared from a Programming Device, the PC
Setup settings will also be cleared to all zeros.
1-1-1 Changing the PC Setup
Making Changes from a Programming Device
Write-protecting the PC Setup
PC Setup settings are read at various times depending on the setting, as described below.
• DM 6550 to DM 6559: Read regularly when the power is ON.
• DM 6600 to DM 6614: Read only when PC’s power supply is turned ON.
• DM 6615 to DM 6644: Read only when program execution begins.
• DM 6645 to DM 6655: Read regularly when the power is ON.
Changes in the PC Setup become effective only at the times given above. The CQM1H will thus have to be restarted to make changes in DM 6600 to DM 6614 effective, and program execution will have to be restarted to make changes in DM 6615 to DM 6644 effective.
The PC Setup can be read, but not written, from the user program. Writing can be done only by using a Programming Console or other Programming Device.
DM 6600 to DM 6644 can be set or changed only while in PROGRAM mode. DM 6550 to DM 6559 and DM 6645 to DM 6655 can be set or changed while in either PROGRAM mode or MONITOR mode.
After PC Setup settings have been made, pin 1 on the DIP switch on the front of the CPU Unit can be turned ON to prevent Programming Devices from overwriting the PC Setup. When pin 1 is ON, the user program, the read-only DM area (DM 6144 to DM 6568), and the PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655) cannot be overwritten from a Programming Device.

00: Setting disabled (Interrupt processing for all high-speed timers, TIM 000 to TIM 015) 01: Enabled (Use setting in bits 00 to 07.)
Number of high-speed timer for interrupts (valid when bits 08 to 15 are 01)
00 to 15 (2-digit BCD) Default: Interrupt processing for all high-speed timers,TIM 000 to TIM 015.
The setting indicates the number of timers that will use interrupt processing beginning with TIM 000. For example, if “0108” is specified, then eight timers, TIM 000 to TIM 007 will use interrupt processing.
Note 1. High-speed timers will not be accurate without interrupt processing unless
the cycle time is 10 ms or less.
2. If the SPED(64) instruction is used and pulses are output at a frequency of 500 Hz or greater, then set the number of high-speed timers with interrupt processing to four or less. Refer to information on the SPED(64) instruction for details.
3. Interrupt response time for other interrupts will be improved if interrupt pro­cessing is set to 00 when high-speed timer processing is not required. This includes any time the cycle time is less than 10 ms.

Bits 08 to 15 set to 01: 0.1 ms Bits 08 to 15 set to 02: 1 ms Bits 08 to 15 set to 03: 10 ms
2. If the cycle time is 1 s or longer, the cycle time read from Programming De­vices will be 999.9 ms. The correct maximum and current cycle times will be recorded in the AR area.
Example
If 0230 is set in DM 6618, an FALS 9F error will not occur until the cycle time exceeds 3 s. If the actual cycle time is 2.59 s, the current cycle time stored in the AR area will be 2590 (ms), but the cycle time read from a Programming Device will be 999.9 ms.
A “cycle time over” error (non-fatal) will be generated when the cycle time exceeds 100 ms unless detection of long cycle times is disable using the set­ting in DM 6655.

Error Detection and Error Log Operation (DM 6655)
Make the settings shown below to determine whether or not a non-fatal error is to be generated when the cycle time exceeds 100 ms or when the voltage of the built-in battery drops, and to set the method for storing records in the error log when errors occur.
Low battery voltage detection
0: Detect 1: Don't detect
Cycle time over detection
0: Detect 1: Don't detect
Error log storage method
0: Error records for 10 most recent errors always stored (older errors deleted). 1: Only first 10 error records stored (no errors stored beyond that point). 2 to F: Error records not stored.
Default: Low battery voltage and cycle time over errors detected, and error records stored for the 10 most recent errors.
Battery errors and cycle time overrun errors are non-fatal errors. For details on the error log, refer to SECTION 8 Troubleshooting.

This section explains the settings and methods for using the CQM1H interrupt functions.
1-4-1 Types of Interrupts
The CQM1H has four types of interrupts, as outlined below.
Input Interrupts:
Interrupt processing is executed when an input from an external source to one of CPU Unit bits IR 00000 to IR 00003 turns ON.
Interval Timer Interrupts:
Interrupt processing is executed by an interval timer with a precision of 0.1 ms.
High-speed Counter Interrupts:
Interrupt processing is executed according to the present value (PV) of the built-in high-speed counter. CQM1H CPU Units are equipped with the follow­ing 3 types of high-speed counter interrupts. All can function as target-value interrupts or range-comparison interrupts. (A target-value interrupt is gener­ated when the PV matches the SV, and a range-comparison interrupt is gen­erated when the PV is within a preset SV range.)
1,2,3... 1. High-speed counter 0 (built into the CPU Unit)
High-speed counter 0 counts pulse inputs to CPU Unit inputs 4 to 6. Two­phase pulses up to 2.5 kHz can be counted.
2. High-speed counters 1 and 2 (Pulse I/O Board) High-speed counters 1 and 2 count high-speed pulse inputs to ports 1 and 2 on the Pulse I/O Board. Two-phase pulses up to 25 kHz can be counted.
3. Absolute high-speed counters 1 and 2 (Absolute Encoder Interface Board) High-speed counters 1 and 2 count absolute rotary encoder codes input to ports 1 and 2 on the Absolute Encoder Interface Board.
18
Interrupt Functions Section 1-4
Note Interrupt processing is not performed for high-speed counters 1, 2, 3, and 4
on a High-speed Counter Board. A High-speed Counter Board can count pulses up to 50 kHz or 500 kHz. The high-speed counter PVs can be checked against a target value or an SV range and a bit pattern can be output inter­nally or externally instead of generating an interrupt.
Serial Communications Board Interrupts:
Interrupt processing is requested from the CPU Unit when the Serial Commu­nications Board receives the desired message.
Interrupt Processing When an interrupt is generated, the specified interrupt subroutine is executed.
Defining Subroutines
Just as with ordinary subroutines, interrupt subroutines are defined using SBN(92) and RET(93) at the end of the main program.
When interrupt subroutines are executed, a specified range of input bits can be refreshed.
When an interrupt subroutine is defined, a “no SBS error” will be generated during the program check but execution will proceed normally. If this error occurs, check all normal subroutines to be sure that SBS(91) has been pro­grammed before proceeding.
Interrupt Priority
Interrupts have the following order of priority. Input interrupts and interrupts from high-speed counters 1 and 2 have the highest priority and the interrupt notification from a Serial Communications Board has the lowest.
1,2,3... 1. Input interrupt 0 > Input interrupt 1 > Input interrupt 2 > Input interrupt 3

Board
When an interrupt with a higher priority is received during interrupt process­ing, the current processes will be stopped and the newly received interrupt will be processed instead. After that routine has been completely executed, then processing of the previous interrupt will be resumed.
When an interrupt with a lower or equal priority is received during interrupt processing, then the newly received interrupt will be processed as soon as the routine currently being processed has been completely executed.
If two interrupts with the same priority level occur simultaneously, the inter­rupts will be executed in the following order:
> High-speed counter interrupt 1 > High-speed counter interrupt 2
2. Interval timer interrupt 0 > Interval timer interrupt 1 > Interval timer interrupt 2 (Interval timer interrupt 2 is high-speed counter interrupt 0.)
The following instructions cannot be executed in an interrupt subroutine when an instruction that controls pulse I/O or high-speed counters is being executed in the main program: (SR 25503 turns ON)
INI(89), PRV(62), CTBL(63), SPED(64), PULS(65), PWM(––), PLS2(––) and ACC(––)

1-4-2 Processing the Same Memory Locations with the Main Program
and Interrupt Subroutines
If a memory location is manipulated both by the main program and an inter­rupt subroutine, an interrupt mask must be set to disable interrupts.
When an interrupt occurs, execution of the main program will be interrupted immediately, even during execution of an instruction. The intermediate pro­cessing results is saved for use after completing the interrupt subroutine, i.e., when the interrupt subroutine has been executed, execution of the main pro­gram is started from the same position with data restored to the previous con­dition. If any of the memory locations being used by the main program are changed in the interrupt subroutine, the changes will be lost when data is restored to the previous state when restarting execution of the main program. It is thus necessary to disable interrupts before and enable interrupts after any instructions that should be executed to completion even if an interrupt occurs.

Although #0010 is moved to DM 0000 in the interrupt program, the addition result that was saved is written to DM 0000 as soon as processing returns to the main program, effectively undoing the results of the interrupt program.

1-4-3 Input Interrupts
The CPU Unit’s inputs allocated IR 00000 to IR 00003 can be used for inter­rupts from external sources. Input interrupts 0 through 3 correspond respec­tively to these bits and are always used to call subroutines 000 through 003 respectively. When input interrupts are not used, subroutines 000 to 003 can be used for ordinary subroutines.
Processing There are two modes for processing input interrupts. The first is the Input
Interrupt Mode, in which the interrupt is carried out in response to an external input. The second is the Counter Mode, in which signals from an external source are counted at high speed, and an interrupt is carried out once for every certain number of signals.
The INT(89) instruction determines which mode is used. In the Input Interrupt Mode, signals with a length of 100
µs or more can be
detected. In the Counter Mode, signals up to 1 kHz can be counted.

Example
If DM 6630 is set to 0100, IR 000 will be refreshed when a signal is received for interrupt 0.
Note If input refreshing is not used, input signal status within the interrupt routine
will not be reliable. This includes even the status of the interrupt input bit that activated the interrupt. For example, IR 00000 would not be ON in interrupt

routine for input interrupt 0 unless it was refreshed (in this case, the Always ON Flag, SR 25313 could be used in place of IR 00000).
Input Interrupt Mode Use the following instructions to program input interrupts using the Input Inter-
rupt Mode.
Masking of Interrupts
With the INT(89) instruction, set or clear input interrupt masks as required.
(@)INT(89)
000
000
D
Make the settings with the D bits 0 to 3, which correspond to input interrupts 0 to 3.
0: Mask cleared. (Input interrupt permitted.) 1: Mask set. (Input interrupt not permitted.)
At the beginning of operation, all of the input interrupts are masked. Use INT(89) to unmask input interrupts before using input interrupts in input inter­rupt mode.
Clearing Masked Interrupts
If the bit corresponding to an input interrupt turns ON while masked, that input interrupt will be saved in memory and will be executed as soon as the mask is cleared. In order for that input interrupt not to be executed when the mask is cleared, the interrupt must be cleared from memory.
Only one interrupt signal will be saved in memory for each interrupt number. With the INT(89) instruction, clear the input interrupt from memory.
(@)INT(89)
001
000
D
If D bits 0 to 3, which correspond to input interrupts 0 to 3, are set to "1," then the input interrupts will be cleared from memory.
0: Input interrupt retained. 1: Input interrupt cleared.
Reading Mask Status
With the INT(89) instruction, read the input interrupt mask status.
(@)INT(89)
002
000
D
The status of the rightmost digit of the data stored in word D (bits 0 to 3) show the mask status.
0: Mask cleared. (Input interrupt permitted.) 1: Mask set. (Input interrupt not permitted.)
Counter Mode Use the following steps to program input interrupts using the Input Interrupt
Mode.
Note The SR words used in the Counter Mode (SR 244 to SR 251) all contain
binary (hexadecimal) data (not BCD).
1,2,3... 1. Write the set values for counter operation to SR words correspond to inter-
rupts 0 to 3. The set values are written between 0000 and FFFF (0 to 65,535). A value of 0000 will disable the count operation until a new value is set and step 2, below, is repeated.
Note These SR bits are cleared at the beginning of operation, and must be
written from the program.
That maximum input signal that can be counted is 1 kHz.

Interrupt Functions Section 1-4
If the Counter Mode is not used, these SR bits can be used as work bits.
2. With the INT(89) instruction, refresh the Counter Mode set value and en­able interrupts.
(@)INT(89)
003
000
D
If D bits 0 to 3, which correspond to input interrupts 0 to 3, are set to "0," then the set value will be refreshed and inter­rupts will be permitted.
0: Counter mode set value refreshed and mask cleared. 1: Nothing happens. (Set to 1 the bits for all interrupts that are not being changed.)
The input interrupt for which the set value is refreshed will be enabled in Counter Mode. When the counter reaches the set value, an interrupt will occur, the counter will be reset, and counting/interrupts will continue until the counter is stopped.
Note 1. If the INT(89) instruction is used during counting, the present value (PV)
will return to the set value (SV). You must, therefore, use the differentiated form of the instruction or an interrupt may never occur.
2. The set value will be set when the INT(89) instruction is executed. If inter­rupts are already in operation, then the set value will not be changed just by changing the content of SR 244 to SR 247, i.e., if the contents is changed, the set value must be refreshed by executing the INT(89) instruc­tion again.
Interrupts can be masked using the same process as for the Input Interrupt Mode, but if the masks are cleared using the same process, the Counter Mode will not be maintained and the Input Interrupt Mode will be used instead. Interrupt signals received for masked interrupts can also be cleared using the same process as for the Input Interrupt Mode.
Counter PV in Counter Mode
When input interrupts are used in Counter Mode, the counter PV will be stored in the SR word corresponding to input interrupts 0 to 3. Values are 0000 to FFFE (0 to 65,534) and will equal the counter PV minus one.
Interrupt Word containing counter PV – 1
Input interrupt 0 SR 248 Input interrupt 1 SR 249 Input interrupt 2 SR 250 Input interrupt 3 SR 251
28
Example: The present value for an interrupt whose set value is 000A will be recorded as 0009 immediately after INT(89) is executed.
Note Even if input interrupts are not used in Counter Mode, these SR bits cannot be
used as work bits.
Interrupt Functions Section 1-4
Application Example In this example, input interrupt 0 is used in Input Interrupt Mode and input
interrupt 1 is used in Counter Mode. Before executing the program, check to be sure the PC Setup.
PC Setup: DM 6628: 0011 (IR 00000 and IR 00001 used for input interrupts) The default settings are used for all other PC Setup parameters. (Inputs are not refreshed at the time of interrupt processing.)

1-4-4 Masking All Interrupts
The INT(89) instruction can be used to mask and unmask all interrupts as a group, including input interrupts, interval timer interrupts, and high-speed counter interrupts. The mask is in addition to any masks on the individual types of interrupts. Furthermore, clearing the masks for all interrupts does not clear the masks on the individual types of interrupts, but restores them to the masked conditions that existed before INT(89) was executed to mask them as a group.
Interrupts masked/unmasked by INT(89) Source Unit or Board
Input interrupts CPU Unit Interval timer interrupts High-speed counter 0 interrupt High-speed counter 1 and 2 interrupts Pulse I/O Board High-speed counter 1 and 2 interrupts Absolute Encoder Interface Board
10 counts 10 counts 20 counts
(see note 1) (see note 1)
(see note 2)
Do not use INT(89) to mask interrupts unless it is necessary to temporarily mask all interrupts and always use INT(89) instructions in pairs to do so, using the first INT(89) instruction to mask and the second one to unmask interrupts.
INT(89) cannot be used to mask and unmask all interrupts from within inter­rupt routines.
Masking Interrupts Use the INT(89) instruction to disable all interrupts.

If an interrupt is generated while interrupts are masked, interrupt processing will not be executed but the interrupt will be recorded for the input, interval timer, and high-speed counter interrupts. The interrupts will then be serviced as soon as interrupts are unmasked.

1-4-5 Interval Timer Interrupts
High-speed, high-precision timer interrupt processing can be executed using interval timers. The CQM1H provides three interval timers, numbered from 0 to 2.
Note 1. Interval timer 0 cannot be used when pulses are being output to a Transis-
tor Output Unit by means of the SPED(64) instruction.
2. Interval timer 2 cannot be used at the same time as high-speed counter 0.
Processing There are two modes for interval timer operation, the One-shot Mode, in
which only one interrupt will be executed when time expires, and the Sched­uled Interrupt Mode in which the interrupt is repeated at a fixed interval.
Procedure Follow the steps outlined below when using interval timer interrupts.
1,2,3... 1. Determine whether the timer will operate in one-shot mode or scheduled
interrupt mode.
2. Program the associated program sections. a) Use STIM(69) to set the timer SV and start the timer in one-shot or
scheduled interrupt mode.
b) Write an interrupt subroutine within SBN(92) and RET(93).
Interval timers 0 to 3 (See notes 1 and 2.)

1-4-6 High-speed Counter 0 Interrupts
Pulse signals from a pulse encoder to CPU bits 00004 through 00006 can be counted at high speed using high-speed counter 0 (the built-in high-speed counter), and interrupt processing can be executed according to the count.
Input Signal Types and Input Modes
Two types of signals can be input from a pulse encoder. The input mode used for high-speed counter 0 will depend on the signal type.
Mode Operation
Differential phase mode
Incrementing mode
A phase-difference 4X two-phase signal (phase-A and phase-B) and a phase-Z signal are used for inputs. The count is incremented or decremented according to differences in the 2-phase signals.
One single-phase pulse signal and a count reset signal are used for inputs. The count is incremented according to the single-phase sig­nal.

Note One of the methods in the following section should always be used to reset
the counter when restarting it. The counter will be automatically reset when program execution is started or stopped.
The following signal transitions are handled as forward (incrementing) pulses: phase-A leading edge to phase-B leading edge to phase-A trailing edge to phase-B trailing edge. The following signal transitions are handled as reverse (decrementing) pulses: phase-B leading edge to phase-A leading edge to phase-B trailing edge to phase-A trailing edge.
The count range is from –32,767 to 32,767 for differential phase mode, and from 0 to 65,535 for Incrementing Mode. Pulse signals can be counted at up to 2.5 kHz in differential phase mode, and up to 5.0 kHz in incrementing mode.
The differential phase mode always uses a 4X phase-difference input. The number of counts for each encoder revolution would be 4 times the resolution of the counter. Select the encoder based on the countable ranges.

Interrupt Functions Section 1-4
High-speed Counter 0 Interrupt Count
For high-speed counter 0 interrupts, a comparison table is used instead of a “count up.” The count check can be carried out by either of the two methods described below. In the comparison table, comparison conditions (for compar­ing to the PV) and interrupt subroutine combinations are saved.
Method Operation
Target value A maximum of 16 comparison conditions (target values and count
directions) and interrupt subroutine combinations are saved in the comparison table. When the counter PV and the count direction match the comparison conditions, then the specified interrupt routine is exe­cuted.
Range com­parison
Target Value Comparisons
The current count is compared to the target values in the order that target val­ues are set in the comparison table and interrupts are generated as the count equals each target value. Once the count has equaled all of the target values in the table, the target value is set to the first target value in the table, which is again compared to the current counted until the two values are equal.
Eight comparison conditions (upper and lower limits) and interrupt rou­tine combinations are saved in the comparison table. When the PV is greater than or equal to the lower limit and less than or equal to the upper limit, then the specified interrupt subroutine is executed.
Initial value
Count

12 3 4 5
Interrupts
Comparison Table
Target value 1 Target value 2 Target value 3 Target value 4 Target value 5

Note When performing target value comparisons, do not repeatedly use the INI
instruction to change the current value of the count and start the comparison operation. The interrupt operation may not work correctly if the comparison operation is started immediately after changing the current value from the pro­gram. (The comparison operation will automatically return to the first target value once an interrupt has been generated for the last target value. Repeti­tious operation is thus possible merely by changing the current value.)

Procedure Follow the steps outlined below when using high-speed counter 0 (the CPU
Unit’s built-in high-speed counter.)
1,2,3... 1. Determine the input mode (differential phase mode or incrementing mode)
and reset method (phase-Z signal + software reset, or software reset) to be used.
2. Determine the interrupt specifications. a) No interrupt (Read high-speed counter PV or range comparison re-
sults.)
b) Use target-value interrupts or range-comparison interrupts.
3. Wire the inputs. (Refer to the CQM1H Operation Manual for details.)

B2 IN4 IR 00004 A2 IN5 IR 00005 B3 IN6 IR 00006
4. Make PC Setup settings in DM 6642. (See page 39 for more details.) a) Set 01 in the leftmost byte to indicate that high-speed counter 0 will be
used. b) Set the input mode (differential phase mode or incrementing mode.) c) Set the reset method (phase-Z signal + software reset, or software re-
set.) Note High-speed counter 0 cannot be used while interval timer 2 is being
used. (The setting in the leftmost byte of DM 6642 determines wheth­er high-speed counter 0 or interval timer 2 can be used.)
5. Program the associated program sections. a) Use CTBL(63) to register the comparison table and start comparison. b) Use INI(61) to change the high-speed counter PV or start comparison. c) Use PRV(62) to read the high-speed counter PV, comparison status,
or comparison results.
d) Write an interrupt subroutine within SBN(92) and RET(93) (only when
using the high-speed counter 0 interrupt.)

son table and interrupts will not be generated unless the CTBL(63) instruction is executed.
High-speed counter 0 is reset to “0” when power is turned ON and when oper­ation begins.
The present value of high-speed counter 0 is maintained in SR 230 and SR 231.
Controlling High-speed Counter 0 Interrupts
1,2,3... 1. Use the CTBL(63) instruction to save the comparison table in the CQM1H
and begin comparisons.
(@)CTBL(63)
000
TB
If C is set to 000, then comparisons will be made by the target matching method; if 001, then they will be made by the range comparison method. The comparison table will be saved, and, when the save operation is com­plete, then comparisons will begin. While comparisons are being executed, high-speed interrupts will be executed according to the comparison table. For details on the contents of the comparison tables that are saved, refer to the explanation of the CTBL(63) instruction in SECTION 5 Instruction Set.
Note The comparison results are normally stored in AR 1100 through
AR 1107 while the range comparison is being executed.
If C is set to 002, then comparisons will be made by the target matching method; if 003, then they will be made by the range comparison method. For either of these settings, the comparison table will be saved, but com­parisons will not begin, and the INI(61) instruction must be used to begin comparisons.
2. To stop comparisons, execute the INI(61) instruction as shown below.
C: (3-digit BCD) 000: Target table set and comparison begun
C
001: Range table set and comparison begun 002: Target table set only 003: Range table set only
TB: Beginning word of comparison table
40
To start comparisons again, set the second operand to “000” (execute comparison), and execute the INI(61) instruction.
Once a table has been saved, it will be retained in the CQM1H during op­eration (i.e., during program execution) as long as no other table is saved.
Reading the PV
There are two ways to read the PV. The first is to read it from SR 230 and SR 231, and the second to use the PRV(62) instruction.
1,2,3... 1. Reading SR 230 and SR 231
The PV of high-speed counter 0 is stored in SR 230 and SR 231 as shown below. The leftmost digit will be F for negative values.

Note These words are refreshed only once every cycle, so there may be a

Changing the PV
There are two ways to change the PV of high-speed counter 0. The first way is to reset it by using the reset methods. (In this case the PV is reset to 0.) The second way is to use the INI(61) instruction.
The method using the INI(61) instruction is explained here. For an explanation of the reset method, refer to the beginning of this description of high-speed counter 0.

Operation Example This example shows a program for using high-speed counter 0 in the Incre-
menting Mode, making comparisons by means of the target matching method, and changing the frequency of pulse outputs according to the counter’s PV. Before executing the program, set the PC Setup as follows:
DM 6642: 0114 (High-speed counter 0 used with software reset and Incre­menting Mode). For all other PC Setup, use the default settings. (Inputs are not refreshed at the time of interrupt processing, and pulse outputs are exe­cuted for IR 100.)
In addition, the following data is stored for the comparison table: DM 0000: 0002 — Number of comparison conditions: 2
DM 0001: 1000 — Target value 1: 1000 DM 0002: 0000 DM 0003: 0101 — Comparison 1 interrupt subroutine: 101 DM 0004: 2000 — Target value 1: 2000

1-4-7 High-speed Counter 0 Overflows/Underflows
If the allowable counting range for high-speed counter 0 is exceeded, and underflow or overflow status will occur and the counter’s PV will remain at 0FFF FFFF for overflows and FFFF FFFF for underflows until the overflow/ underflow status is cleared by resetting the counter. The allowable counting ranges are as follows:
Differential phase mode: F003 2768 to 0003 2767 Incrementing Mode: 0000 0000 to 0006 5535
Note 1. The values given above are theoretical and assume a reasonably short cy-
cle time. The values will actually be those that existed one cycle before the overflow/underflow existed.
Time elapsed (s)
42
Interrupt Functions Section 1-4
2. The 6th and 7th digits of high-speed counter 0’s PV are normally 00, but can be used as “Overflow/Underflow Flags” by detecting values beyond the allowable counting ranges.
High-speed counter 0 can be reset as described in the previous section or it can be reset automatically by restarting program execution. High-speed counter 0 and related operations will not function normally until the overflow/ underflow status is cleared. Operations during overflow/underflow status will be as follows.
• Comparison table operation will stop.
• The comparison table will not be cleared.
• Interrupt routines for the high-speed counter will not be executed.
• CTBL(63) can be used only to register the comparison table. If an attempt is made to start comparison table operation, operation will not start and the comparison table will not be registered.
• INI(61) cannot be used to start or stop comparison table operation or to change the present value.
• PRV(62) will read out only 0FFF FFFF or FFFF FFFF as the present value.
Recovery Use the following procedure to recover from overflow/underflow status.
With Comparison Table Registered
1,2,3... 1. Reset the counter.
2. Set the PV with PRV(62) if necessary.
3. Set the comparison table with CTBL(63) if necessary
4. Start comparison table operation with INI(61).
Without Comparison Table Registered
1,2,3... 1. Reset the counter.
2. Set the PV with PRV(62) if necessary.
3. Set the comparison table and start operation with CTBL(63) and INI(61).
Note The range comparison results in AR 11 will remain after recovery. The inter-
rupt routine for a interrupt condition meet immediately after recovery will not be executed if the interrupt condition was already met before the overflow/ underflow status occurred. If interrupt routine execution is necessary, clear AR 11 before proceeding.
Reset Operation When high-speed counter 0 is reset, the PV will be set to 0, counting will
begin from 0, and the comparison table, execution status, and execution results will be maintained.
Startup Counter Status When high-speed counter 0 is started, the counter mode in the PC Setup will
be read and used, the PV will be set to 0, overflow/underflow status will be cleared, the comparison table registration and execution status will be cleared, and range execution results will be cleared. (Range execution results are always cleared when operation is begun or when the comparison table is registered.)
Stopped Counter Status When high-speed counter 0 is stopped, the PV will be maintained, the com-
parison table registration and execution status will be cleared, and range exe­cution results will be maintained.

This section explains the settings and methods for using the CQM1H pulse output function. Refer to the CQM1H Operation Manual for details on hard­ware connections to output points and ports.
Standard pulses can be output from a Transistor Output Unit’s output using SPED(64). Pulses can be output from just one bit at a time. The duty factor of the pulse output is 50% and the frequency can be set from 20 Hz to 1 kHz.

Note Stop pulse outputs only when pulses are actually being output. The current
output status can be read from the Pulse Output In Progress Flag (AR 0515 or AR 0615).
When outputting pulses from an output point, the frequency can be changed in steps by executing SPED(64) again with different frequencies, as shown in the following diagram.
Frequency
Time
Pulses can be output from an output in continuous mode or independent mode.
Continuous Mode
Pulses are output continuously until stopped with SPED(64) or INI(61).
Independent Mode
The pulse output stops automatically once the number of pulses specified in SPED(64) have been output. (The pulse output can also be stopped prema­turely with SPED(64) or INI(61).)
Procedure Follow the steps outlined below when outputting pulses from a Transistor Out-
put Unit. Pulses can be output from only one terminal on the Transistor Output Unit at a time.
1,2,3... 1. Determine the IR word (IR 100 to IR 115) to be used for the pulse output.
2. Wire the Transistor Output Unit. Wire the terminal corresponding to the bit that will actually be used in the selected word.
3. Set the desired IR word address in DM 6615 of the PC Setup. Settings 0000 to 0015 BCD correspond to IR 100 to IR 115. (See page 46 for more details.)
4. Program the associated program sections. a) PULS(65) can be used to set the number of output pulses. b) SPED(64) can be used to control the pulse output (a pulse output with-
out acceleration or deceleration.)
c) INI(61) can be used to stop the pulse output.

put to Output Units. (The bit is specified in the first operand in SPED(64).) The content of DM 6615 (0000 to 0015) specifies output words IR 100 to
IR 115. For example, if DM 6615 is set to 0002, pulses will be output to IR 102.

When SPED(64) is executed, pulses will begin to be output at the specified output bit (D=000 to 150: bit 00 to 15) at the specified frequency (F=0002 to 0100: 20 Hz to 1000 Hz). Set the mode to independent mode (M=000) to out­put the number of pulses set with PULS(65). The frequency can be changed by executing SPED(64) again with a different frequency setting.
Changing the Frequency The frequency of the pulse output can be changed by executing SPED(64)
again with a different frequency setting. Use the same output bit (P) and mode (M) settings that were used to start the pulse output. The new frequency can be frequency 20 Hz to 1000 Hz (F=0002 to 0100).

Automatic Mode Change When the PC is in RUN mode with a Programming Console connected to the
peripheral port of the CPU Unit, if a PT is connected to the CPU Unit’s built-in RS-232C port or either of the ports of a CQM1H-SCB41 using Host Link mode, the following message will be displayed at the Programming Console indicating that a password is required to continue operation (using the Pro­gramming Console).

The delay is not used the first time data is sent from the PC. The delay will affect other sends only if the normal time for the send comes before the time set for the transmission delay has expired.
If the delay time has already expired when the next send is ready, the data will be spent immediately. If the delay time has not expired, the send will be delayed until the time set for the transmission delay has expired.

1-6-2 Host Link Communications Settings and Procedures
This section explains the PC Setup settings and procedure required for Host Link communications.
PC Setup Settings Be sure to write 00 in the leftmost digits of DM 6645 (RS-232C port) or
DM 6650 (peripheral port) to specify Host Link communications. Other Host Link communications parameters are set in the rightmost two digits of DM 6645/DM 6650 and DM 6646/DM 6651.
A node number must be set for Host Link communications to differentiate between nodes when multiple nodes are participating in communications. This setting is required only for Host Link communications.

Overview of Host Link Communications
The node number is normally set to 00. Other settings are not required unless multiple nodes are connected in a network.
Host Link communications were developed by OMRON for the purpose of connecting PCs and one or more host computers by RS-232C cable, and con­trolling PC communications from the host computer. Normally the host com­puter issues a command to a PC, and the PC automatically sends back a response. Thus the communications are carried out without the PCs being actively involved. The PCs also have the ability to initiate data transmissions when direct involvement is necessary.
In general, there are two means for implementing Host Link communications. One is based on C-mode commands, and the other on FINS (CV-mode) com­mands. The CQM1H supports C-mode commands only. For details on Host Link communications, refer to SECTION 6 Host Link Commands.
51
Communications Functions Section 1-6
Communications Procedure
This section explains how to use the Host Link to execute data transmissions from the CQM1H. Using this method enables automatic data transmission from the CQM1H when data is changed, and thus simplifies the communica­tions process by eliminating the need for constant monitoring by the computer.
1,2,3... 1. Check to see that AR 0805 (RS-232C Port Transmission Enabled Flag) is
ON.
2. Use the TXD(48) instruction to transmit the data.
(@)TXD(48)
S
C
N
S: Beginning word address of transmission data C: Control data
0000: RS-232C port 1000: Peripheral port
N: Number of bytes of data to be sent (4 digits BCD)
0000 to 0061
From the time this instruction is executed until the data transmission is com­plete, AR 0805 (or AR 0813 for the peripheral port) will remain OFF. It will turn ON again upon completion of the data transmission. The TXD(48) instruction does not provide a response, so in order to receive confirmation that the com­puter has received the data, the computer’s program must be written so that it gives notification when data is written from the CQM1H.
The transmission data frame is as shown below for data transmitted in the Host Link Mode by means of the TXD(48) instruction.

To reset the RS-232C port (i.e., to restore the initial status), turn ON SR
25209. To reset the peripheral port, turn ON SR 25208. These bits will turn OFF automatically after the reset.
If the TXD(48) instruction is executed while the CQM1H is in the middle of responding to a command from the computer, the response transmission will first be completed before the transmission is executed according to the TXD(48) instruction. In all other cases, data transmission based on a TXD(48) instruction will be given first priority.
Application Example This example shows a program for using the RS-232C port in the Host Link
Mode to transmit 10 bytes of data (DM 0000 to DM 0004) to the computer. The default values are assumed for all the PC Setup (i.e., the RS-232C port is used in Host Link Mode, the node number is 00, and the standard communi­cations conditions are used.) From DM 0000 to DM 0004, “1234” is stored in every word. From the computer, execute a program to receive CQM1H data with the standard communications conditions.
00100 AR0805

If AR 0805 (the Transmission Enabled Flag) is ON when IR 00100 turns ON, the ten bytes of data (DM 0000 to DM 0004) will be trans­mitted.
52
The following type of program must be prepared in the host computer to receive the data. This program allows the computer to read and display the data received from the PC while a Host Link read command is being executed to read data from the PC.

1-6-3 No-protocol Communications Settings and Procedures
This section explains the PC Setup settings and procedure required for No­protocol communications. No-protocol communications allow data to be exchanged with standard devices. For example, data can be output to a printer or input from a bar code reader.
PC Setup Settings Be sure to write 10 in the leftmost digits of DM 6645 (RS-232C port) or
DM 6650 (peripheral port) to specify No-protocol communications. Other communications parameters are set in the rightmost two digits of DM 6645/ DM 6650 and DM 6646/DM 6651.
The start and end codes or the amount of data to be received can be set as shown in the following diagrams if required for no-protocol communications. This setting is required only for no-protocol communications. These settings are valid only when pin 5 on the DIP Switch is OFF.

Specify whether or not a start code is to be set at the beginning of the data, and whether or not an end code is to be set at the end. Instead of setting the end code, it is possible to specify the number of bytes to be received before the reception operation is completed. Both the codes and the number of bytes of data to be received are set in DM 6649 or DM 6654.

1-6-4 One-to-one Data Links
If a CQM1H is linked one-to-one by connecting it to another CPU Unit through their RS-232C ports, they can share common LR areas. One of the PCs will serve as the master and the other as the slave. A CQM1H can be linked one­to-one with any of the following PCs: CQM1H, CQM1, C200HX/HG/HE, C200HS, CPM1, CPM1A, CPM2A, CPM2C, or SRM1(-V2).

Communications Functions Section 1-6
Note The peripheral port cannot be used for 1:1 Data Links. Use the CPU Unit’s
built-in RS-232C port or a Serial Communications Board’s RS-232C or RS­422A/485 port.
One-to-one Data Links A 1:1 Data Link allows two CQM1Hs to share common data in their LR areas.
As shown in the diagram below, when data is written into a word the LR area of one of the linked Units, it will automatically be written identically into the same word of the other Unit. Each PC has specified words to which it can write and specified words that are written to by the other PC. Each can read, but cannot write, the words written by the other PC.

Note These settings are valid only when pin 5 of the CPU Unit’s DIP Switch is OFF.
Bits 08 to 11 are valid only in the 1:1 Data Link Master.
Communications Procedure
If the settings for the master and the slave are made correctly, then the One­to-one Data Link will be automatically started up simply by turning on the power supply to both of the CPU Units and operation will be independent of the CPU Units’ operating modes.
Link Errors If a slave does not received a response from the master within one second,
the 1:1 Data Link Error Flag (AR 0802) and the Communications Error Flag (AR 0804) will be turned ON.
Application Example This example shows a program for verifying the conditions for executing a
One-to-one Data Link using the RS-232C ports. Before executing the pro­gram, set the following PC Setup parameters.

1-6-5 NT Link 1:1 Mode Communications
This section explains communications with a Programmable Terminal with the communications mode set to NT Link in 1:1 mode. The peripheral port cannot be used for NT Link communications.
Settings Set the communications mode to NT Link in 1:1 mode by setting DM 6645 to
4000. Be sure that pin 5 of the CPU Unit’s DIP Switch is OFF.
For details on Programmable Terminal settings, refer to the Programming Ter­minal’s Operation Manual.
Overview of NT Link 1:1 Mode Communications
NT Link communications were developed by OMRON to provide high-speed communications between the PC and a Programmable Terminal. There are two kinds of NT Link communications: 1:1 mode in which a single Program­mable Terminal is connected to the PC and 1:N mode in which several Pro­grammable Terminals can be connected to the PC. The CQM1H’s built-in RS­232C port supports only 1:1 mode communications, but both 1:1 and 1:N
57
Calculating with Signed Binary Data Section 1-7
modes can be used if an optional Serial Communications Board is installed in the PC.
Some Programmable Terminals are equipped with Programming Console functions which allow the Programmable Terminal to program and monitor the CQM1H. The Programmable Terminal’s Programming Console functions can­not be used if a Programming Console is connected to the CQM1H’s periph­eral port. Refer to the Programming Terminal’s Operation Manual for details on the Programming Console functions.
Communications Procedure
With NT Link communications, the PC automatically responds to commands issued from the Programmable Terminal, so communications programming is not required in the CQM1H and there is no NT Link communications proce­dure to perform.
1-6-6 Wiring Ports
Refer to the CQM1H Operation Manual for information on wiring the commu­nications ports.

1-7 Calculating with Signed Binary Data

The CQM1H PCs allow calculations on signed binary data. The following instructions manipulate signed binary data. Signed data is handled using 2’s complements.
The following signed-binary instructions are available in CQM1H PCs:
Single-word Instructions
• 2’S COMPLEMENT – NEG(––)
• BINARY ADD – ADB(50)
• BINARY SUBTRACT – SBB(51)
• SIGNED BINARY MULTIPLY – MBS(––)
• SIGNED BINARY DIVIDE – DBS(––)
Double-word (Long) Instructions
• DOUBLE 2’S COMPLEMENT – NEGL(––)
• DOUBLE BINARY ADD – ADBL(––)
• DOUBLE BINARY SUBTRACT – SBBL(––)
• DOUBLE SIGNED BINARY MULTIPLY – MBSL(––)
• DOUBLE SIGNED BINARY DIVIDE – DBSL(––)
1-7-1 Definition of Signed Binary Data
The CQM1H provides instructions that operate on either one or two words of data. Signed binary data is manipulated using 2’s complements and the MSB of the one- or two-word data is used as the sign bit. The range of data that can be expressed using one or two words is thus as follows:
One-word data: –32,768 to 32,767 (8000 to 7FFF hexadecimal)
Two-word data: –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (8000 0000 to 7FFF FFFF hexadeci­mal)

1-7-3 Inputting Signed Binary Data Using Decimal Values
Although calculations for signed binary data use hexadecimal expressions, inputs from the Programming Console or CX-Programmer can be done using decimal inputs and mnemonics for the instructions. The procedure for using the Programming Console to input using decimal values is shown in the
59
Calculating with Signed Binary Data Section 1-7
CQM1H Operation Manual. Refer to the CX-Programmer Operation Manual: C-series PCs for details on using the CX-Programmer.
Input Instructions Only 16-bit operands can be input for the following instructions: NEG(––),
ADB(50), SBB(51), MBS(––), and DBS(––). Refer to the CQM1H Operation Manual for details on inputting instructions from the Programming Console.
1-7-4 Using Signed-binary Expansion Instructions
The following CQM1H instructions must be allocated function codes in the instructions table before they can be used.
• 2’S COMPLEMENT – NEG(––)
• DOUBLE 2’S COMPLEMENT – NEGL(––)
• DOUBLE BINARY ADD – ADBL(––)
• DOUBLE BINARY SUBTRACT – SBBL(––)
• SIGNED BINARY MULTIPLY – MBS(––)
• DOUBLE SIGNED BINARY MULTIPLY – MBSL(––)
• SIGNED BINARY DIVIDE – DBS(––)
• DOUBLE SIGNED BINARY DIVIDE – DBSL(––)
Allocating Function Codes
The procedure to using the Programming Console to allocate function codes is shown in the CQM1H Operation Manual. Be sure that pin 4 of the CQM1H’s DIP switch is turned ON to enable use of a user-set instruction table before performing this operation.
1-7-5 Application Example Using Signed Binary Data
The following programming can be used to performed calculations such as the following in the CQM1H:
((1234 + (–123)) x 1212 – 12345) 000 = 04D2 1234
001 = FF85 LR00 = 04BC HR50 = 3039 HR51 = 0000 DM1000 = FB2E –1234 DM1001 = FFFF

Name Model Specification
High-speed Counter Board CQM1H-CTB41 Four pulse inputs
Four external outputs of comparison result
2-1-2 Functions
The High-speed Counter Board is an Inner Board that handles four pulse inputs.
High-speed Counter Pulse Inputs 1 to 4
The High-speed Counter Board counts high-speed pulses from 50 to 500 kHz entering through ports 1 to 4, and performs tasks according to the number of pulses counted.
Input Modes
The following three Input Modes are available:
• Differential Phase Mode (1x/2x/4x)
• Up/Down Mode
• Pulse/Direction Mode
Comparison Operation
When the PV (present value) of the high-speed counter matches a specified target value or lies within a specified range, the bit pattern specified in the comparison table is stored in internal output bits and external output bits. A bit pattern can be set for each comparison result, and the external output bits can be output through an external output terminal as described below.
External Outputs
Up to four external outputs can be produced when either the target value is matched or a range comparison condition is satisfied.
Note The High-speed Counter Board does not provide high-speed counter inter-
rupts. It simply compares the PV to target values or comparison ranges, and produces internal and external bit outputs.

2-1-7 High-speed Counters 1 to 4
The High-speed Counter Board counts pulse signals entering through ports 1 to 4 from rotary encoders and outputs internal/external output bit patterns according to the number of pulses counted. The four ports can be used inde­pendently. An outline of the processing performed by high-speed counters 1 to 4 is provided below.
Overview of Process
Input Signals and Input Modes
High-speed counters 1 to 4 can be set to different Input Modes in response to the type of signal input.
Differential Phase Mode (Counting Speed: 25 kHz or 250 kHz)
Two phase signals (phase A and phase B) with phase difference multiples of 1x, 2x, or 4x are used together with a phase-Z signal for inputs. The count is incremented or decremented according to differences in the two phase sig­nals.
Up/Down Mode (Counting Speed: 50 kHz or 500 kHz)
Phase A is the incrementing pulse and phase B is the decrementing pulse. The counter increments or decrements according to the pulse that is detected.
Pulse/Direction Mode (Counting Speed: 50 kHz or 500 kHz)
Phase A is the pulse signal and phase B is the direction signal. The counter increments when the phase-B signal is ON and decrements when it is OFF.

Encoder input B (Direction input)
Numeric Ranges The values counted by high-speed counters 1 to 4 can be counted using the
following two range settings:
Ring Mode
In Ring Mode, the maximum value of a numerical range can be set using CTBL(63), and when the count is increment beyond this maximum value, it returns to zero. The count never becomes negative. Similarly, if the count is decremented from 0, it returns to the maximum value. The number of points on the ring is determined by setting the maximum value (i.e., the ring value) to a value between 1 and 8388607 BCD or between 1 and 7FFFFFFF Hex. When the maximum value is set to 8388607, the range will be 0 to 8388607 BCD.
Linear Mode
In Linear Mode, the count range is always –8388608 to 8388607 BCD or F8000000 to 07FFFFFF Hex. If the count decrements below –8388608 BCD or F8000000 Hex, an underflow is generated, and if it increments above 8388607 BCD or 07FFFFFF Hex, an overflow is generated.
Ring Mode
Max. count value (Ring value)
Decrement Increment
If an overflow occurs, the PV of the count will remain at 08388607 BCD or 07FFFFFF Hex, and if an underflow occurs, it will remain at F8388608 BCD or F8000000 Hex. In either case, counting and comparison will stop, but the comparison table will be retained in memory. The PV Overflow/Underflow Flag shown below will turn ON to indicate the underflow or overflow.

When restarting the counting operation, use the reset methods given below to reset high-speed counters 1 and 2. (Counters will be reset automatically when program execution starts and finishes.)

Reset Methods The following two methods can be set to determine the timing at which the PV
of the counter is reset (i.e., set to 0):
• Phase-Z signal + software reset
• Software reset
Phase-Z Signal (Reset Input) + Software Reset
The PV of the high-speed counter is reset in the first rising edge of the phase­Z signal after the corresponding High-speed Counter Reset Bit (see below) turns ON.

Reset Bits for high-speed counters 1 to 4 are refreshed only once each cycle. A Reset Bit must be ON for a minimum of 1 cycle to be read reliably.
Checking Methods for High-speed Counter Interrupts
Note The comparison table registration and comparison execution status will not be
changed when the PV is reset. If a comparison was being executed before the reset, it will continue.
The following two methods are available to check the PV of high-speed counters 1 to 4. (These are the same methods as those used for built-in high­speed counter 0.)
• Target value method
• Range comparison method Refer to page 36 for a description of each method. For the target value method, a maximum of 48 target values can be registered
in the comparison table. When the PV of the counter matches one of the 48
71

registered target values, the corresponding bit pattern (1 to 48) will be output to specific bits in memory.

Internal output bits (8 bits)
An OR is taken of corresponding bits of IR 208 to IR 211, or IR 240 to IR 243.
External outputs (four outputs)
When using target values, comparison is made to each target value in the order of the comparison table until all values have been met, and then com­parison will return to the first value in the table. With the High-speed Counter Board, it does not make any difference if the target value is reached as a result of incrementing or decrementing the PV.
Note With high-speed counter 0 in the CPU Unit or high-speed counter 1 or 2 on
the Pulse I/O Board or Absolute Encoder Interface Board, the leftmost bit of the word containing the subroutine number in the comparison table deter­mines if target values are valid for incrementing or for decrementing the PV.

Comparison values 1 through 48 and bit patterns 1 through 48 are registered in the target value table. Of bits 00 to 11 of each of these bit patterns, bits 0 to 7 are stored as internal output bits, and bits 08 to 11 are stored as external output bits. As shown in the diagram below, the bits in the external bit pattern are used in an OR operation on the corresponding bits of high-speed counters 1 to 4, the results of which are then output as external outputs 1 to 4.
Example:
Slot 1 Slot 2

For the range comparison method, 16 comparison ranges are registered in the comparison table. When the PV of the counter first enters between the upper and lower limits of one of the ranges 1 to 16, the corresponding bit pat­tern (1 to 16) will be output once to specific bits in memory.

Of bits 0 to 11 of each of these bit patterns, bits 0 to 7 are stored as internal output bits, and bits 8 to 11 are stored as external output bits. As shown in the diagram below, the bits in the external bit pattern are used in an OR operation on the corresponding bits of high-speed counters 1 to 4, the results of which are then output as external outputs 1 to 4.
Example:
Slot 1 Slot 2

External outputs 1 to 4 are controlled by ORs performed on corresponding bits (i.e., bits with the same bit number) in the comparison result bits 08 to 11 for high-speed counters 1 to 4. The user must determine which outputs should be turned ON for each possible comparison result and set the bit pat­terns so that the OR operations will produce the desired result.
Note Range Comparison Flags are supported by the built-in high-speed counter
(high-speed counter 0) and the Pulse I/O Board for ranges1 to 8. These flags, however, are not supported by the High-speed Counter Board. The internal bit patterns must be used to produce the same type of output result.
Reading High-speed Counter Status
The following two methods can be used to read the status of high-speed counters 1 to 4:
• Using CPU Unit memory words
• Using PRV(62)
