Precautions for Correct Use

Refer to the following manuals for safety precautions.

• NJ-series CPU Unit Hardware User’s Manual (Cat No. W500)

• NJ-series CPU Unit Software User’s Manual (Cat No. W501)

Host Connection Function

• Normal communications with the host may not be possible if incorrect settings are made for the host connection function. Also, if you specify an incorrect host address, you may communicate with the wrong host. Make all settings carefully when you transfer the GEM setting data to the Controller.

• The host connection function will not operate if the variables assigned to the host connection function do not exist in the Controller. Also, the host connection function may not operate normally if the data types of the variables are not correct. Confirm that the variables assigned to the host connection function agree with the variables in the Controller before you transfer the GEM setting data to the controller.

• If you delete a variable used for the host connection function or change a variable name or data type, make the same change in the variable assigned in the host connection function.

Testing Operation

• If you cannot connect to the host, check the value of the _GEM_HSMSState (HSMS Communications Status) system-defined variable. If the value of _GEM_HSMSState is FALSE, check the EtherNet/IP settings and cable wiring to see if they are correct.

• If you operate the system while connected to the host, use the Host Simulator to sufficiently check functionality.

Operation

• If there are network problems during operation, the host will be disconnected and message communications will not be performed. Do not replace network devices or disconnect the LAN cable during operation.

• If an SD Memory Card is not inserted, the GEM Service logs and spool data will not be recorded. Also, it will not be possible to upload or download the GEM setting data between the SECS/GEM Configurator and the CPU Unit. Inset an SD Memory Card to use the host connection function.

• Stop the GEM Services before you replace the SD Memory Card. Do not upload or download the GEM setting data between the SECS/GEM Configurator and the CPU Unit while you are replacing the SD Memory Card.

• Before you turn OFF the power supply to the Controller, execute the GEM_Shutdown instruction and save the GEM Service logs and spool data to the SD Memory Card. If you do not execute the GEM_Shutdown instruction before you turn OFF the power supply to the Controller, the GEM Service logs and spool data may be corrupted.

• To prevent loosing data for unexpected power interruptions, we recommend that you implement countermeasures for power interruptions, such as installing an uninterruptible power supply.

Unit Replacement

• The GEM Service logs and spool data in the SD Memory Card are not backed up. If you replace the CPU Unit, you cannot continue to use the previous GEM Service logs and spool data.

NJ-series SECS/GEM CPU Units User’s Manual (W528)

Page 19

Precautions for Correct Use

SD Memory Card Replacement

• If you replace the SD Memory Card, any existing GEM Service logs and spool data are deleted. If necessary, use the Log Viewer to back up the GEM Service logs to a computer.

• Do not replace the SD Memory Card when the value of the _GEM_Spoo system-defined variable is SPOOL ACTIVE. If you do, the sppl data will be deleted.

• We recommend that you use a new SD Memory Card when you re replace the SD Memory Card with one that was previously used, format it to delete any old files.

Regulations and Standards

Conformance to EC Directives

Applicable Directives

• EMC Directives

• Low Voltage Directive

Concepts

 EMC Directive

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 the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards.* 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 on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

* Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2 (Radiated emission: 10-m regulations).

 Low Voltage Directive

Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to 1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards. The applicable directive is EN 61131-2.

 Conformance to EC Directives

The NJ-series Controllers comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the NJ-series Controller is used complies with EC Directives, the Controller must be installed as follows:

• The NJ-series Controller must be installed within a control panel.

• You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies connected to DC Power Supply Units and I/O Units.

• NJ-series Controllers that comply with EC Directives also conform to the Common Emission Standard (EN 61000-6-4). Radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.

Conformance to KC Standards

Observe the following precaution if you use NX-series Units in Korea.

Class A Device (Broadcasting Communications Device for Office Use)

This device obtained EMC registration for office use (Class A), and it is intended to be used in places other than homes.

Sellers and/or users need to take note of this.

Conformance to Shipbuilding Standards

Regulations and Standards

The NJ-series Controllers comply with the following shipbuilding standards. Applicability to the shipbuilding standards is based on certain usage conditions. It may not be possible to use the product in some locations. Contact your OMRON representative before attempting to use a Controller on a ship.

Usage Conditions for NK and LR Shipbuilding Standards

• The NJ-series Controller must be installed within a control panel.

• Gaps in the door to the control panel must be completely filled or covered with gaskets or other material.

 Programming without Worrying about SECS Message Formats

A host connection function handles SECS messages between the host and equipment so you do not have to handle it directly in the user program. The host connection function is one of the GEM Services. It is located between the host and user program and transmits commands sent from the host to the user program and transmits commands from the user program to the host.

Therefore, the user does not need to interpret SECS

messages sent

from the host or prepare SECS

message formats to send to the host.

For example, the following procedure is used to exe

cute a host command using the remote com-

mand GEM capability.

1 The host sends Host Command Send (S2,F41). 2 The host connection function interprets the SECS message and informs the user program that a

host command was received.

3 The user processes the host command.

 User-defined Messages to Expand GEM Capabilities

In addition to the SECS messages defined in the SECS/GEM standard, the SECS/GEM CPU Unit supports user-defined messages that are uniquely set by the user. This allows you to flexibly implement functions for unique user semiconductor

equipment.

 Setting GEM Setting Data with the SECS/GEM Configurator

To use a SECS/GEM CPU Unit, you use the standard Sysmac Studio Support Software for NJ-series Controllers, but you also use special Support Software called the SECS/GEM Configurator to make settings related to the GEM. You create the GEM setting data figurator and then transfer it to the SECS/GEM CPU Unit.

 Work Separation for Host Communications Design and Control Sequence

Design

To execute an application with a SECS/GEM CPU Unit, you must design communications with the host and you must design the control sequences, including I/O controls. Both of these can be performed in parallel because settings for host communications are performed on the SECS/GEM Configurator and control sequence programming is performed on the Sysmac Studio.

 Complete Logging Functions

The SECS/GEM CPU Unit records three different logs on an SD Memory Card. You can check these logs from the Log Viewer or from the user program. Checking the logs simplifies troubleshooting when unintended operation occurs when building or operating the system.

• The SECS message log records the SECS messages sent between

*1. After Trace Initialize Send (S2,F23) is received from the host, the GEM Services automatically send Trace

Data Send (S6,F1). It is not necessary for the user program to execute a GEM instruction.

*2. The GEM_ChangeControlState instruction or GEM_ReportAlarm instruction is sometimes executed instead of

the GEM_ReportEvent instruction. The GEM Services sometimes automatically send Event Report Send (S6,F11) depending on the GEM capability.

*3. The GEM Services automatically send a SECS message for an illegal primary message from the host. It is not

necessary for the user program to execute a GEM instruction.

*4. If processing is not permitted for Terminal Display, Multi-block (S10,F5) from the host, the GEM Services au-

tomatically send a SECS message. It is not necessary for the user program to execute a GEM instruction.

5-1-3 Transaction Processing

The series of processing that is performed by the SECS/GEM CPU Unit for a SECS message is called transaction processing. Some transactions are processed jointly by the host connection function and the user program, and others are processed only by the host connection function. For the transactions that are processed jointly by the host connection function and user program, you can use the following variables in the user program to check the transaction processing state, processing result, and processing result factor.

The execution priority of the system services is lower than the execution priority of the primary periodic task and priority-16 periodic task. Other than processing for the GEM Services, the system services also provide the USB port service, built-in EtherNet/IP port service, and other services.

Variable data indicates the settings for the host connection function and the operating status. You can check the contents of variable data with Data Definition on the Tools Menu of the SECS/GEM Configurator.

5-4-1 Types of Variable Data

The following table lists the three types of variable data.

Variable data Meaning

Equipment constants (EC) These variables are changed by the host.

Status variables (SV) These variables always hold valid information. They can-

not be changed from the host.

Discrete variables (DV) These variables are valid only when specific events

occur.

(DV).

5-4 Variable Data Definitions

You use the SECS/GEM Configurator to assign link variables to va

riable data. The assignment method

is different for the list of fixed length data and the list of length-variable data.

Link Variable Assignment Settings for List of Fixed Length Data

For a list of fixed length data, you set the items for each list. Number of lists indicates the nu items in the level that is directly below a list structure level. For example, if the structure of a level that is a list of fixed length data is <L,4>, there are four items in the level that is immediately below it, so the number of lists is given as 4. You can set a different format for each item in a list. The specifications for a list of fixed length data are given in the following table. You can nest lists within lists.

Item Specification

Number of lists 0 to 64 Maximum nesting levels 3

The following example shows a message structure on the

SECS/GEM Configurator

length data with three nesting levels and link variables assigned for each item.

Message structure <L,n> (Max. value of n: 5)

The data type is ARRAY[0..4] OF INT.

Link Variable Assignment Settings for List of Length-variable Data

For the list of length-variable data, you set changeable items. All items in the list have the same format. The specifications for a list of length-variable data are given in the following table.

Item Specification

Number of lists 1 to 64 Maximum nesting levels 1

The following example shows a message structure on the SECS/GEM Config

urator for an item in the list of length-variable data and link variables assignments. A link variable that is assigned in the list of length-variable data stores the number of items in the list of length-variable data. In this example, there are three items, so 3 is stored in VIDm_List1. An array link variable is assigned to the items in a list of length-variable data. The number of array elements is set to the maximum number of items. The data type of the array elements is aligned to the data type of the items. In this example, the data type of VIDm_Item1 is ARRAY[0..4] OF INT.

5-5 GEM Capabilities

The GEM capabilities achieve functions specified in the SECS/GEM standards. Except for the automatic processing that is performed by the host connection function, you must use GEM instructions to intentionally perform processing to achieve GEM capabilities. Some GEM capabilities require that you set items on the SECS/GEM Configurator.

The following functions are implemented

• Communications State Model

• Control State Model

• Equipment Processing States

• Event Notification

• Error Messages

• Documentation

• Dynamic Event Report Configuration

• Variable Data Collection
