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 controller scale
• To reduce costs

• On-line real-time processing
- 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.

Program Component

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.

Increased Efficiency of Reuse with Improved Visibility.
A ladder program is coded as a long strip of diagram, which makes it difficult to grasp the
overall flow.
The entire program structure can be grasped.You can hide and show each circuit block under the circuit comment (just like expanding
and collapsing the tree) to grasp the entire program structure and go to the corresponding parts.
Programs written long ago or written by other engineer can be easily modified.

A name suggesting the corresponding action can be assigned to each device to increase
maintainability.
Arbitrary names for individual devices can be used in the programming before the terminal
assignment is decided. The ability to separately determine the logical design and physical design (i.e., program design and terminal assignment) greatly reduces the engineering period.

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.

The fiber-optic FA-bus module enables data to be sent as high-speed as 10 Mbps. Modules
in subunits can handled like those in the main unit with no effect on the scan time. (Data refresh rate: 1 ms for 1024 devices)
No transmission delay by direct access to I/O devicesNot only digital I/O modules but also almost all the modules including analog I/O, temperature
controller and pulse input modules installed in a subunit can be handled.
Up to 7 fiber-optic FA-bus modules (for up to 7 subunits) can be installed in main unit for the
maximum number of I/O points allowed for the CPU module used.

F3LR01-0N Fiber-optic FA-bus Module The fiber-optic FA-bus module is an interface module used to configure a fiber-optic FA-bus
system to perform distributed control. To build the ideal remote I/O system, simply install fiber­optic FA-bus modules in an FA-M3 R main unit and in subunits, and connect them with fiber­optic FA-bus cables.
z Many advanced modules can be installed in subunits, and the modules can be accessed in
the same way as the modules in the main unit. (The FA link, FA link H, fiber-optic FA link H and Ethernet interface modules are exceptions.)
z No specific configuration settings are required for remote I/O. z Fiber-optic data transmission eliminates being affected by noise.

F3LRO2-ON Fiber-optic FA-bus Type 2 Module The fiber-optic FA-bus type 2 module is an interface module used to configure a system
for which high distribution of I/O units is required. To build the ideal, highly distributed remote I/O system, simply install fiber-optic FA-bus type 2 modules in an FA-M3 R main unit and in subunits, and connect them with fiber-optic FA-bus cables.
z Many advanced modules can be installed in subunits, and the modules can be
accessed in the same way as the modules in the main unit. (The FA link, FA link H, fiber-optic FA link H and Ethernet interface modules are exceptions.)
z A subunit can be distributed to up to 8 subunits. z Each module has 2 pairs of transmission and reception ports to allow daisy chain
connections.
z If the network is configured by loop connections, it is switched to two daisy chain
networks when there is a line breakage, thus enhancing reliability.
z No specific configuration settings are required for remote I/O. z Fiber-optic data transmission eliminates being affected by noise. z For point-to-point connections, use lower-priced F3LR01-0N fiber-optic FA-bus
modules.
