■ General Requirements for Using FA-M3 Controllers
● Avoid installing FA-M3 controllers in the following locations:
•Where the instrument will be exposed to direct sunlight, or where the operating tem-
perature is outside the range 08 to 558C.
•Where the relative humidity is outside the range 10 to 90%, or where sudden tempera-
ture changes may occur and cause condensation.
•Where corrosive or inflammable gases are present.
•Where the instrument will be exposed to direct mechanical vibration or shock.
● Securely tighten screws:
•Securely tighten module mounting screws and terminal screws to avoid problems
such as faulty operation.
● Securely fasten connectors of interconnecting cables:
•Securely fasten connectors of interconnecting cables, and check them thoroughly
before turning on the power.
v
● Interlock with emergency-stop circuitry using external relays:
•Equipment incorporating the F A-M3 controllers must be furnished with emergency-
stop circuitry that uses external relays. This circuitry should be set up to interlock
correctly with controller status (stop/run).
● Ground FA-M3 controllers to an independent Japanese Industrial Standard
(JIS) Class 3 Ground:
•Avoid grounding the FG terminal of the F A-M3 controller to the same ground as highvoltage power lines. Ground the terminal to an independent JIS Class 3 ground
(ground resistance up to 100 Ω).
● Observe countermeasures against noise:
•When assigning inputs/outputs, the user should avoid locating AC-supplied I/O modules in the vicinity of the CPU module.
● Keep spare parts on hand:
•Stock up on maintenance parts, including spare modules, in advance.
● Discharge static electricity before operating the system:
•Because static charge can accumulate in dry conditions, first touch grounded metal to
discharge any static electricity before touching the system.
● Never use solvents such as paint thinner for cleaning:
•Gently clean the surfaces of the F A-M3 controllers with a piece of soft cloth soaked in
water or a neutral detergent.
•Do not use solvents such as paint thinner for cleaning, as they may cause deformation, discoloration, or malfunctioning.
IM 34M6H45-01E1st Edition : Feb.28,1999-00
<Toc> <Ind> <Rev><Preface>
● Avoid storing the FA-M3 controllers in places with high temperature or
humidity:
•Since the CPU module has a built-in battery , avoid storing it in places with high temperature or humidity.
•Since the service life of the battery is drastically reduced by exposure to high temperatures, so take special care (storage temperature can be from -208 to 758C).
● Always turn off the power before installing or removing modules:
•Turn of f power to the power supply module when installing or removing modules,
otherwise damage may result.
● When installing ROM packs and changing switch settings:
•In some modules you can remove the right-side cover and install ROM packs or
change switch settings. While doing this, do not touch any components on the printedcircuit board, otherwise components may be damaged and modules fail.

F A-M3
Fiber-optic F A-bus Module and
Fiber-optic F A-bus Type 2 Module
The Model F3LR01-0N Fiber-optic FA-bus Modules (hereinafter referred to as modules)
are interface modules to configure the distributed control system through a fiber-optic FA
bus. This bus connects F A-M3 main units and sub-units. Using this bus, users can configure an efficient remote I/O system.
If the above modules are installed on the FA-M3 main units and sub-units, and connected
with each other with fiber optic cables, modules on the subunits will be handled at the same
level as in the main units.
A1.1Features
1
Features of remote I/O systems
(1)Users do not need to worry about I/O refresh time in ladder programming.
(2)Subunits can include contact input/output modules and other special modules such as
RS-232-C communications modules, excepting FA link modules and Ethernet modules.
(3)If subunits are configured with an FA-bus module, users can access those units in the
same way as the modules in the main units are accessed.
*
configured with the modules are:
A1-1
(4)Because of its optical communications, the system will not be influenced by noise.
(5)Maximum extended cable length is 200 meters.
1:I/O implies “Input” and “Output,” — stated as “contact input/output.” Remote I/Os are located far away from the CPU
*
module, but can be handled in the same way as for contact input/output modules close to a CPU module.

A1.2Application Examples
If a remote I/O system is configured, some problems could occur, which include configuration (environment) setting, uses of specific remote I/O instructions, and I/O refresh time, or
the like.
Whereas if a remote I/O system is configured with a fiber-optic FA-bus module, the above
problems will not occur. The system configuration example is shown below.

A4.4.3 Notice on Connecting Fiber Optic Connectors
Handle fiber optic cables with great care. When the fiber optic cables are laid, first read
Sumitomo Electric Industries Manual and then ask the workers for specific applications as
described in the manual.
CAUTION
•DO NOT touch optical connector core wires and protect them from dirt and dust.
Otherwise, transmission performance may deteriorate or a communications error
could occur.
T o store them, be sure that they are provided with appropriate cable covers.
•Each time the fiber optic cords or cables are connected, keep the cable extension
within 0.7% of permissible extension percentage. When the cable is fixed, also keep
the cable extension within 0.2% of permissible extension percentage. If the cable
extension is beyond these limitations, fiber optic cables or cords may be disconnected.
For this purpose, DO NOT cause excess tension, bending, or twisting or the like of the
cables or cords.

A4.5Preliminary Checks
After installing modules and wiring fiber optic cables, check that all electrical connections
have been completed and the modules are in communications-enabled states.
Apply power to the units and check the following two points:
(1)Check that the RDY (green) lamp lights up.
If this lamp does not light up, the fiber-optic FA-bus module may not be connected to
the base module correctly . T urn off the power and attach the module to the base
module correctly . Then apply the power and be sure that the RDY lamp lights up.
(2)Check that the ERR lamp remains turned off.
If the lamp lights up, communications will be disabled. If the power of the destination
unit is off, turn on its power and check that the ERR lamp is turned off. If it is still on,
transmission lines may be faulty . (Fiber optic cables may be disconnected).

When an error occurs in this module or when there is a cable break in the transmission line,
the error LED (ERR) or alarm LED (ALM) of the CPU module turns on.
The LED of this CPU module turns on, even when an error occurs in a module other than
this module.
To decide whether the cause of the lighted LED lies in this module, check the status of the
RDY and ERR LEDs of the Fiber-optic F A-bus module mounted on each unit.
The relation between the fiber optic cable break and the lighting of the LED in the module is
as shown below.

A7.2 Output Shutdown Function due to a
Communications Error
A7.2.1 Overview of Output Shutdown Function
This module is equipped with a function which shuts down the output of the I/O module
when a communications error occurs.
When an error occurs in the fiber-optic FA-bus module, this function prevents it from af fecting the system or from resulting in hazardous operation or unstable operation of the system.
For example, when the transmission line breaks, it detects the error and immediately turns
off the output signals of each I/O module and avoids any risk.
The output shutdown function on a communications error is valid only on configurations
having one main CPU (with no add-on CPU).
A7.2.2 Output Shutdown of Subunit
A7-2
Subunit
CAUTION
•When it is necessary to reset the output due to power supply breakdown or transmission line error, use the output module with less than 32 points, turn on the shutdown
switch of the F3LR02 and set an Output Reset using the CPU configuration setting.
This setting cannot be used in a 64-point output module.
•When it is necessary to hold the output due to power supply breakdown and transmission line error, turn of f the shutdown switch of the F3LR02 and set an Output Hold
using the CPU configuration setting.
•The Output Reset function cannot be used in multiple CPU systems (systems loaded
with add-on CPU). Always use the Output Hold setting.

B1.Overview
The Model F3LR02-0N Fiber-optic FA-bus T ype 2 Modules are interface modules to configure the distributed control system through a type 2 fiber-optic FA bus. This bus connects
FA-M3 main units and sub-units. Using this bus, users can configure a remote I/O system
efficiently.
If the above modules are installed on the FA-M3 main units and sub-units, and connected
with each other with an optical fiber cable, modules in the subunits will be handled at the
same level as in the main units.
1: I/O implies “Input” and “Output,” -- stated as “contact input/output.”
*
This module is mainly used for:
•Distributed installations of I/O modules
•System expansion

Figure B3.7Separation of Subunits
Subunits are configured separately as shown in Figure B3.7. Separating subunits as in < 3
> above allows the connection of a maximum of seven subunits to configure up to 21
substations.
Up to 32 substations (maximum number of substations in one system) can be configured in
combination of six sets of pattern < 5 > and a set of pattern < 6 > as in Figure B3.6.
An I/O module that can be configured as in < 6 > above is one module per substation.

B3.4 Maximum Total Cable Extension
The maximum total fiber optic cable extension is decided by the number of substations.
T able B3.2 allows you to find the maximum total cable extension related to the number of
substations. When the fiber optic cable extension is shorter than the specified maximum
total extension, wiring can be made, but not if the distance is more than 500 meters.
Table B3.2Number of Substations and Maximum Total Fiber Optic Cable Extension
In the daisy-chained configuration, the maximum total cable extension ranges from the
main station to terminating station. In the loop configuration, the maximum total cable is
extended to a closed loop of fiber optic cables (see the figure below). The maximum
allowable distance between substations is 500 meters.

B3.5 Precautions
•The F3BU04 and F3BU06 Base Modules with Version R01 or later allow use of different slot numbers during the module installation. For other base modules, use slot
numbers starting from slot number 1.
•Only one substation can be installed on the base module.
•For address setting, do not duplicate unit slot addresses in the system.
•Master stations (unit number = 0) cannot be separated on a unit-by-unit basis. Be
sure to set slot number 1 for the master station.
•In a star connection, multiple F3LR01 modules may be used; but not in loop and daisychained connections.
•For use with the F3LU01 µ-bus Master Station Module, do not duplicate unit numbers.

B4.4.3 Notice on Connecting Optical Connectors
Handle fiber optic cables with great care. When the fiber optic cables are laid, first read
Sumitomo Electric Industries Manual and then ask the workers for specific applications as
described in the manual.
CAUTION
•DO NOT touch optical connector core wires, and protect them from dirt and dust.
Otherwise, transmission performance may deteriorate or a communications error
could occur.
T o store them, be sure that they are provided with appropriate cable covers.
•Each time the fiber optic cables (or cords) are connected, keep a cable elongation
percentage at 0.7%. When the cable is fixed, also keep the cable elongation within
0.2% of its allowable elongation percentage. If the cable elongation is beyond these
limitations, fiber optic cables (or cords) may be disconnected. For this purpose, DO
NOT cause excess tension, bending, or twisting or the like of the cables (or cords).

B4.5 Preliminary Checks
After installing modules and wiring fiber optic cables, check that all electrical connections
have been completed and the modules are in communications-enabled states.
Apply power to the units and check the following six points:
(1)Check that the RDY (green) lamp lights up.
If this lamp does not light up, the fiber-optic FA-bus module may not be connected to
the base module correctly . T urn off the power and attach the module to the base
module correctly . Then apply the power and be sure that the RDY lamp lights up.
(2)Check that ERR1 and ERR2 lamps remain turned off. If these lamps light up, commu-
nications will be disabled. If the power of the destination unit is off, turn on its power
and check that the ERR lamps are turned off. If these are still on, transmission lines
may be faulty (optical fiber cables may be disconnected).
Consult Section B7.3, “Troubleshooting Flowchart When “EER1” and “EER2” LEDs
Are ON,” for solving problems.
If unused ports are turned on, be sure that the functions set switch on the rear of the
module are set correctly .
B4-15
(3)Make sure that the transmission configuration (star, daisy-chained and loop connec-
tions) and the setting of the module right side switch coincide.
(4)Be sure that port 2 on an unused port is vacant. For this, check to see that the switch
number 2 (SW2) on the right side of the module is in the off position. Be sure to cover
vacant ports with the connector cover.
(5)Do not duplicate the unit and slot numbers.
(6)Check that the optical fiber cable length and the optical port set value coincide. If the
cable length is over 200 meters, be sure to use a GI T ype H-PCF cable.

<Toc> <Ind><B4. Preliminary Setting and Cable Connections Before Operation >
B4.6 Notice on Applying Power
Perform the following steps when applying power to the main- and sub-units:
Apply power to both main- and sub-units simultaneously . Or apply power to the subunits
and then to the main unit. Once the power is supplied to the main unit, programs will start
independent of supplying power to subunits. If the above power supplying procedures
cannot be followed, refer to the following special relays and registers that compose subunits, to configure application's requirements:
•Special Relays for Correct Transmission Lines through Subunits
These special relays are turned on when all transmission lines of the Fiber-optic FA-bus
Type 2 Module are normal. If the subunit power remains of f, or if an error occurs in a
transmission line due to a disconnection or the like, the special relays will be turned off.
Using these relays, users can confirm whether an entire system power is already supplied
or not, or whether the transmission line is normal.
These relays allow initial setting of multifunctioning modules installed on subunits after
applying power to the entire system even with power first applied to the main unit and then
subunits.

•Special Registers for Recognizing Modules
Special registers set bits related to slot positions when modules installed on the main- and
sub- units are recognized. Bits which cannot be read or written to modules because of an I/
O module failure or a subunit power failure are cleared.

ClassificationSpecial Registers for Recognizing Modules
Special registers for module recognition allow initial setting of modules installed on subunits
without waiting for all power applications in the system even with the power first supplied to
the main unit and then to subunits.

B5.1 Estimation of I/O Refresh Time
Calculate the I/O refresh time separately for each port of the main unit.
For details, refer to the following calculation example.
B5-1
I/O refresh time
• There are 2 type, namely, ‘input read’ and ‘output write’.
Calculate the I/O refresh time for each type using the following formula and sun the values.
When an error occurs in this module or when there is a cable break in the transmission line,
the error LED (ERR) or alarm LED (ALM) of the CPU module turns on to indicate the
disorder.
The LED of this CPU module turns on, even when error occurs in a module other than this
module.
To decide whether the cause of the lighted LED lies in this module, check the status of the
RDY and ERR1 and ERR2 LEDs of the optic-fiber F A bus module mounted in each unit.
The relation between the optical fiber cable break and the lighting of the LED in the module
is as shown below.

B6.1.2 Logging Transmission Line Error Location
*
to Error Log
When an error occurs in the transmission line, logging in an error log is possible. Depending on the condition of the error, the errors are indicated as "fiber-optic F A-bus transmission
line error location notification message" and classified into the following two types:
(1) Sub-unit transmission line error
This is a state in which reading/writing for all remote I/O is not possible because of an error
in the transmission line or switching off of the power supply of the remote I/O (the modules
mounted on the subunits).
B6-8
When an error is detected, it is possible to specify in the configuration whether to “stop” the
execution of the program (breakdown)
is set to “continue.”
(2) Switching sub-unit transmission line
This is a state in which one cable in the transmission line in the loop system is broken and
switching from the main loop to the sub-loop has occurred. Reading and writing to the
remote I/O can be done normally .
When this error is detected, the execution of the program continues and the ALM LED turns
on.
1 :It can be used in the combination of F3SP21, F3SP25, F3SP35 and ladder program M3.
*
2 :RUN LED of the sequence CPU module becomes off and the ERR LED becomes on.
*
3 :ALM LED of the sequence CPU module becomes on.
