Compatibility with the conventional FP-X series

The FP-XH series is upward compatible with a conventional FP-X Control Unit. However, be
careful with the following points.

■

Hardware compatibility

● The FP-XH series can be used in combination with FP-X Expansion Units.

iv

WUME-FPXHBASG-01

● The FP-X Extension Cassette (Communication Cassette) and FP-X Extension Cassette
(Function Cassette) can also be used. With the FP-XH Control Unit, there are less
restrictions on the installation position.

● The wiring for the transistor type Control Unit is different. The external power supply (24 V
DC) for driving the output circuit is not necessary.

● The backup battery type is different. A special battery for the FP-XH series is required.

● The port for connecting to a personal computer is USB 2.0 (miniB type).

■

Software compatibility

● The positioning function has been largely improved. A table setting mode has been added to
facilitate simplified setting and programming. In addition, position control patterns and home
return patterns have been added.

● For using the projects (programs, comments and system registers) created for the
conventional FP-X, the projects must be converted to the projects for the FP-XH using the
“Convert PLC Type” function of the tool software.

● All the instructions for the conventional FP-X are supported.

3.1.1 How to Count I/O Numbers

■

How to count and express I/O numbers

● Since I/O number are handled in units of 16 points, they are expressed as a combination of a
device type code and the lowest-digit of a decimal or hexadecimal number.

● In the case of external inputs, they are expressed as X0 to X9 and XA to XF. In the case of
external outputs, they are expressed as Y0 to Y9 and YA to YF.

3.1.2 Concept of I/O Number Allocation

■

I/O numbers of Control Unit

Fixed areas are allocated to I/O numbers.

■

I/O numbers of Expansion Unit

The starting number allocated to each Expansion Unit varies according to the installation
position.

4.10 Safety Measures

4.10 Safety Measures

4.10.1 Safety Measures

■

Precautions regarding system design

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

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

• Response time lag when a momentary power drop occurs.

• Abnormality in the PLC unit, external power supply, or other devices.

In order to prevent a malfunction resulting in system shutdown, choose the adequate safety
measures.

■

Providing an interlock circuit

● When a motor clockwise / counter-clockwise operation is controlled, provide an interlock
circuit externally.

■

Providing an emergency stop circuit

● Provide a circuit to the PLC externally, which turns OFF the power supply of the output
device in case of emergency.

■

Power supply sequence

● The PLC should be started after booting the I/O device and mechanical power apparatus.

● When turning OFF the PLC, stop the operation of the PLC first, and then turn OFF the I/O
devices and power equipment.

■

Grounding

● When installing the PLC next to devices that generate high voltages from switching, such as
inverters, do not ground them together. Use an exclusive ground with a resistance of less
than 100 Ω for each device.

■

Prevention of electric shock

● Make sure to install the terminal cover after wiring.

4.10.2 Instantaneous Power Failure

■

Operation of instantaneous power failure

● If the duration of the power failure of the power supply is less than 10 ms, the FP-XH Control
Unit continues to operate. If it is 10 ms or longer, the operation varies according to conditions
such as the combination of units and the power supply voltage. In some cases, the unit
performs the same operation as resetting the power supply.

● Although the duration of the power failure for the Expansion FP0 Adapter is 10 ms, judge the
permissible time for the system after confirming the permissible duration of the power failure
for the DC power supply that supplies power to the Expansion FP0 Adapter. Supply the

WUME-FPXHBASG-01 4-25

4.10 Safety Measures

power for the FP-X Expansion FP0 Adapter from the service power supply for the input of the
FP-X Control Unit.

● When using the Expansion Unit with a built-in power supply (E30, Expansion FP0 Adapter),
depending on the duration of the momentary power failure, either one of the units may be put
in halted state and I/O verify error may occur. In such case, turn the power OFF and then
ON.

4.10.3 Watchdog Timer

● The watchdog timer is a program error and hardware error detection timer.

● It is set to 640 ms for the FP-XH Control Unit.

● Once the watchdog timer functions, the "ERR.LED" on the front face of the control unit turns
ON. At this time, all outputs from the output units are turned OFF and the unit is put in halted
state.
