Version Upgrade Information

The following tables outline changes made for the most recent version upgrade for SYSMAC CSSeries Position Control Units.

■ Enhanced Functions for Unit Version 2.0

Changing Multiple-start Acceleration for Relative and Absolute Movement during Direct Operation

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.0 or later)

When executing multiple starts during direct operation, the acceleration/deceleration times set for the first start were used.

Changing Accelerations/Decelerations and Changing Deceleration Following Interrupt Inputs for Interrupt Feeding during Direct Operation

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.0 or later)

The speed command could be changed as long as it was done before the interrupt signal was input. If an acceleration/deceleration time was changed, the change would not be effective until the next interrupt feed command. The acceleration/deceleration times set for the first start were used for speed changes. The deceleration time set for the first start was used after interrupt signal input.

Allowing Changes to Acceleration/Deceleration Time during Jogging

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.0 or later)

The only speed changes allowed during jogging were those made with the speed command. If acceleration/deceleration times changed, the changes were not effective until the next JOG command. The deceleration time set when the JOG operation was started was used for accelerations/decelerations for speed changes as well as for JOG stops or deceleration stops.

When executing multiple starts during direct operation, the acceleration time set for each of the multiple starts is used and the deceleration time set for the first start is used.

The acceleration/deceleration times can be changed and changes can be made with the speed command as long as the changes are made before the interrupt signal is input. The acceleration/deceleration times can also be changed during acceleration and deceleration. The deceleration time set for when the interrupt input occurs is used following interrupt signal input.

In addition to changes made during JOG operation with the speed command, speed changes can also be made during JOG operation by changing the acceleration/deceleration times. Accelerations/decelerations can also be changed during acceleration/deceleration. Accelerations/decelerations can also be changed during acceleration/deceleration to a fixed speed. The deceleration time set when the stopping the JOG operation is executed is used for JOG stops or deceleration stops.

Setting Acceleration/Deceleration Time in Axis Parameters as Time Required to Reach Target Speed

Previous version Present version

Acceleration/deceleration times could be set only as the time required for each axis to go from the initial speed to the maximum speed.

The acceleration/deceleration time can be set in one of the following ways.

• Set as the time required for each axis to go from the initial speed to the maximum speed (previous setting method).

• Set as the time required for each axis to go from the present speed to the target speed. (This simplifies calculating acceleration/deceleration times.)

Addition of Easy Backup Function

Previous version Present version

There was no easy backup function. The easy backup function of the CPU Unit can be used to automat-

ically back up and restore the following data from/to flash memory in the PCU along with all data from the CPU Unit using a Memory Card in the CPU Unit. It can also compare the data. This makes it easier to back up all PLC data or to prepare backup data in case Units are replaced.

• Axis parameters

• Sequence data

• Speed data

• Acceleration/deceleration time data

• Dwell time data

• Zone data

Note Data for all Unit axes is stored at the same time.

■ Enhanced Functions in the Upgrade from Unit Version 2.0 to Unit Version 2.1

Setting the Number of Unused Axes

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.1 or later)

Emergency stop input wiring was also required for unused axes.

Setting the number of unused axes in the common parameters eliminates the need for emergency stop input wiring for unused axes.

■ Enhanced Functions in the Upgrade from Unit Version 2.1 to Unit Version 2.2

Setting the CW/CCW Pulse Output Direction

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.2 or later)

The pulse output direction could not be changed.

Addition of Origin Search Pattern Setting

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.2 or later)

Operation was uneven if a return was performed at the origin proximity and operation immediately stopped at the origin input signal.

Setting the Position Data When the Origin Signal Stops

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.2 or later)

The stopping point was always 0. The value of the stopping point can be set. Applications in which

Bits for reversing the output direction have been added to the axis parameter areas. Specifying reversal reverses the output section and is effective for applications using the same wiring but reversed coordinates.

Reverse mode 3 has been added to enable stopping at the origin signal at the proximity speed when a return is performed at the origin proximity.

the stopping point is not 0 do not require presetting the present position.

■ Enhanced Functions in the Upgrade from Unit Version 2.2 to Unit Version 2.3

Jog Operation Setting

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.3 or later)

Axes could not be controlled from the CX-Position.

Deviation Counter Reset Output Signal Setting

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.3 or later)

The deviation counter reset output could not be turned ON and OFF from the CX-Position.

Checking Parameters and Data at Startup

Previous version Present version (Ver. 2.3 or later)

Parameters and data were not checked at startup.

The following operations are possible in combination with CX-Position version 2.2 (included with CX-One version 1.1).

• Setting parameters for jog operations (acceleration/deceleration time and RUN signal allocation)

• Resetting errors

• Turning the RUN signal ON/OFF

• Jogging forward and backward (+jog/

• Monitoring the present position, limit sensor, and other functions while jog operations are being performed

The following operations are possible in combination with CX-Position version 2.2 (included with CX-One version 1.1).

• Turning ON and OFF the deviation counter reset output

Parameters and data for up to four axes can be checked and up to four errors (i.e., one per axis) can be detected and output.

6 Conformance to EC Directives

6-1 Applicable Directives

•EMC Directives

6-1-1 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): EN61000-6-2 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN61000-6-4

6-1-2 Conformance to EC Directives

The PCUs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which an PCU is used complies with EC directives, the PCU must be installed as follows:

1,2,3...

1. The PCU 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. PCUs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN regulations), countermeasures will vary depending on the devices connected to the control panel, wiring, the configuration of the system, and other conditions. The customer must, therefore, perform final checks to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EC Directives.

6-1-3 Installation Within Control Panel

Unnecessary clearance in cable inlet or outlet ports, operation panel mounting holes, or in the control panel door may cause electromagnetic wave leakage or interference. In this case, the product may fail to meet EC Directives. In order to prevent such interference, fill clearances in the control panel with conductive packing. (In places where conductive packing comes in contact with the control panel, ensure electrical conductivity by removing the paint coating or masking these parts when painting.)

Position and Speed Control Ranges

There are two different control methods. The first is memory operation, in which the data required for positioning is transferred to the PCU and then specified for position control, and the second is direct operation, in which the target position and target speed are set each time from the CPU Unit.

The PCU is available with 1, 2, or 4 control axes. With 2-axis and 4-axis models, linear interpolation is possible for all axes. Either open collector output or line driver output is available for any number of control axes. Choose the most appropriate model according to the number of controlled axes and the desired output type.

A stepping motor driver and a pulse train input type Servo Drive can be connected to the PCU. It is possible to set different operating modes for different axes allowing the combined use of different types of motor driver.

Positioning can be performed for positions in the range –1,073,741,823 to 1,073,741,823 pulses and speeds in the range 1 to 500,000 pps in 1-pulse units. This means that positioning is possible over a wide range with speed precision.

System Configuration Section 1-2

Data Capacity and Backup The amounts of data that can be set for memory operation are shown in the

following table:

Type of data Number of data items per axis

Positioning sequences, speeds, positions 100

Acceleration times, deceleration times 9

Dwell times 19

Zones 3

These data items are transferred to the PCU for use. Once they have been transferred to the PCU they can be saved to the PCU’s flash memory, so there is no need for battery maintenance.

Note There is a limit to the service life of the flash memory. A total of up to 100,000

data saving operations can be performed.

CX-Position The PCU is compatible with the Windows-based NC Support Tool (CX-Posi-

tion) that enables setting of the PCUs in a Windows environment. Using the CS-series single-port multi-access function, creation and transfer of parameters and data for PCUs as well as operation monitoring are possible from the same environment as the software used for CPU Unit ladder programming (CX-Programmer).

Simple Programming Using Function Blocks (See note.)

Note Refer to the following documents for details on function blocks.

Function blocks can be used to simplify operation of the PCU in programming complicated diagrams. There are function blocks for origin searches, ABSOLUTE MOVEMENT commands, and RELATIVE MOVEMENT commands.

1-2 System Configuration

The PCU receives control signals (CW limit, CCW limit, origin, origin proximity, emergency stop, and external interrupt input signals) from devices and a control panel, and outputs pulse trains to stepping motor drivers and Servo Drives.

1-3-1 Position Control

Positioning can be executed with either an absolute value (i.e., to an absolute position from the origin) or with an incremental value (i.e., to a relative position from the present position).

There are two methods for positioning: memory operation and direct operation. Interrupt feeding, in which operation proceeds for a specified amount after an interrupt input, is also possible.

Direct Operation With direct operation, positions and speeds are set directly from the CPU Unit

(ladder program), and positioning is executed according to operating commands. It is also possible to change the speed and send commands to move
