Introduction to FA-M3
From EVOLUTION to REVOLUTION
The FA-M3 has rebor ned as the FA-M3 R,
to revolutionize the users' equipment.
for Revolution!
FA-M3 R is a new generic name for FA-M3 controllers containing one or
more of the brand new, ultra-fast four CPU modules.
FA-M3 R can simply be called the
FA-M3 R and FA-M3 have upward compatibility.
The design concept was to increase the speed of the FA-M3. The new high-
speed Instruction-Process-Response-Scan, or High-speed IPRS, in the FA-M3 R
was designed to achieve this objective.
Extensive studies were conducted to meet every requirement including ultra-high-
speed control, steady dispersion-free control and improved networking functions
including link control. The FA-M3 R is Yokogawa's ideal controller for nextgeneration equipment, delivering even greater accuracy and productivity.

Compact Size
Postcard-size Controller
Why does a controller need to be smaller?
• To provide ample room for additional modules
• To allow installation of the controllers without affecting the machine design and
safety of the user factory (al lowing per s pe c tive facilities)
• To help standardize control panels
• To reduce the size of the control panel to be min imized regardless of t he

• Can configure as a BASIC controller since a BASIC CPU module alone can be used
without a sequence CPU module.
• When installed in slots 2 to 4, BASIC CPU modules work as add-on BASIC CPU modules
for a sequence CPU module.
• Can directly access input and output modules.
• Can exchange data with ladder programs and synchronize with ladder programs by using
events.
• Allows structured programming using subprograms.
• Can access common data with a personal computer link module (can also connect a
display unit and access data via Ethernet or modem).

Easy Real-time Processing with BASIC
A statement to start an interrupt routine needs only one line.
- Supports extensive interrupt methods to enable immediate response of a BASIC program to external events.
- Facilitates development of on-line real-time programs.
• Modular program structure
- Can use subprograms.
- Variables, line numbers and labels in the main and individual subprograms independently, thus it simplifies
development and program maintenance, and improving program reusability.
- The main program and subprograms can be developed separately, and assembled together by using the
APPEND command later.
• Combination with sequence programs
- Variables used in a BASIC program can be combined with shared registers by a common variable
statement, thus it facilitates data exchange with sequence CPU module. Synchronization with sequence
CPU modules can also be achieved by using SIGNAL, ON SEQEVT, ENTER and OUTPUT statements.
- Device values in CPU modules can be read and written by using ENTER and OUTPUT statements.
• I/O support
- Can access various communication modules such as serial communication modules, various digital I/O
modules, and various analog I/O modules by using ENTER statements for input and OUTPUT statements
for output.

Independence of Blocks and Macros for Enhancing Drastical Reusabi lity.
Blocks and macros are pieces of program and use common devices as their data. Thus,
devices need to be assigned uniquely not to doubly used in different blocks and macros.
By using the concept of local devices in each block and macro, devices can be handled
independently in each block and macro.
Different macros and blocks can have a local device having the same name since
different physical addresses will be assigned to those local devices, thus device conflict
can be avoided
.
Programs and local devices can be handled as sets so that they can be reused easily as
parts.

Remote OME involves performing the following remotely:
z O
peration: Operation and monitoring
z
M
aintenance: Troubleshooting
z E
ngineering: Program modification and debugging
Remote OME is achieved:

available dial-up router to a public phone line
(2) Over public phone lines via a modem connected to the Programming port
Remote OME
z
For an FA-M3 R incorporated in a system, the following can be done from a personal computer at a distant
place:
• Machine maintenance and inspections using the device monitoring and diagnostics functions
• Check of machine operating statuses by monitoring the FA-M3 R's devices online, and machine
operation test by changing the device values
• Troubleshooting and failure analyses for machine using the FA-M3 R's diagnostics functions, namely,
such as to the error log, user log and sampling traces
• Improvement of machine operation by adding, modifying and debugging a ladder diagram.

Applications of Personal Computer Link Interface
The personal computer link:
(1) Is a communication link that is dedicated for the FA-M3 R and allows the device data within
sequence CPUs to be read or written from other equipment (personal computers, display units,
etc.) without intervention of a sequence program, and also allows a sequence program to notify
events.
(2) Allows you to select the network hardware specification from RS-232-C, RS-422, and Ethernet as
required.
(3) Allows use of display units from various manufacturers that support the FA-M3 R-specific personal
computer link protocol.

Differences in personal computer link between Ethernet interface module and other modules:
All modules support ASCII-coded commands and responses, but only the Ethernet interface module supports
binary-coded commands and responses. Note that the Ethernet interface module uses different header and
termination codes in ASCII mode from those of other modules.

Personal Computer Link Modules
A personal computer link module provides the FA-M3 R with the personal computer
link feature via RS-232-C or RS-422/485.
The built-in communications protocol allows connections to be made to other equipment that
supports the same protocol without requiring any program, and facilitates system configuration.
A personal computer link module is typically used to connect display units.

Ethernet Interface Module
The Ethernet interface module enables the FA-M3 R's data to be accessed via Ethernet as one
style of personal computer link. Using this Module, the FA-M3 R's data can be accessed
directly from personal computers and workstations, thus allowing an information system and
control system to be directly linked.
*Remote OME (see pages 29 to 32) is possible from a personal computer using WideField.

Personal Computer Link (access through another node)
Through a node, yon can:
• Monitor and write devices in sequence CPUs from another node on the same network.
• Download, upload, start and stop programs.
• Read/write common variables in the BASIC CPU module.
None of these requires a user program for communication. Both binary-coded and ASCIIcoded commands and responses are supported, allowing for high-speed data transmission.
Event transmission (access to another nodes)
The Ethernet module enables events to be transmitted to another nodes on the same
network.
Note: 10B ase-T requires no external power sup pl y.
When a 10Base5 network is used and the connected Et hernet device requires power to be supplied to its AUI
connector, a 12 V DC power supply must be connected to t he Ethernet module.
