1.Overview
Model LL100 PC-based Parameters Setting T ool is a software package used to set
various parameters of the GREEN Series controllers from a personal computer . This
tool makes it easy to set parameters that configure the many useful functions of
GREEN Series controllers. It is also possible to manage created parameter data on a
personal computer.
The LL100 tool can run on Windows 98/2000/XP or Windows NT 4.0. For details on using
your personal computer or Windows, see the respective manuals.
1.1Function Overview of LL100
The LL100 offers the following functions.
● Setup parameter setting
Sets parameters that configure GREEN Series controller functions.
● Operating parameter setting
1-1
Sets control parameters such as P, I, and D. Also sets the program pattern for a UP350/
UP351 program controller.
● Ethernet parameter setting
Sets parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway , parity or port number
for GREEN Series controllers and VJET Ethernet converter .
● Download to/Upload from a controller
Downloads created parameter data to a GREEN Series controller, or uploads parameter
data contained in a GREEN Series controller to a personal computer.
● Saving parameters onto a disk
Saves parameter data created using the LL100 or parameters uploaded from a GREEN
Series controller to the hard disk of a personal computer or floppy disk.
● Printing parameter data
Prints created parameter data.
● T uning function
Performs online adjustment* of a GREEN Series controller’s PID parameters. The autotuning function allows automatic optimization of PID parameters. You can also manually
change PID parameter values, switch operation modes, and make other changes while
monitoring the trend graphs of PV , SP, and OUT (control output) on the personal computer
screen.
*Online adjustment means changes to tuning parameters while the GREEN Series
controller in question is being used for control.
● Program pattern setting
For UP750/UP550 program controllers, sets parameters that configure program patterns.

A GREEN Series controller can be connected to a personal computer in three ways:
using either the optical communication interface on the controller’s front panel, the
RS-485 communication terminals on the rear panel or the Ethernet communication
terminal on the rear panel. This section describes how to connect to the optical
communication interface.
See Also
• Chapter 2, “Setup” in the GREEN Series Communication Functions user’s manual (IM 05G01B02-01E),
for how to connect to RS-485 communication terminals.
• Chapter 2, “Setup” in the Ethernet Communication Functions user’s manual (IM 05G01B52-01E), for
how to connect to Ethernet communication terminal.
NOTE
•The dedicated adapter has an internal switch (located where the adapter comes into
contact with the controller). Be careful not to break this switch when attaching the
adapter to the controller.
2-5
•Attaching the adapter in place automatically turns on this switch, causing the batteries
to discharge even if no communication is done. Therefore, if you have no immediate
plans to perform communication, keep the adapter removed from the controller.
WARNING
When using an external power source, take care to ensure that the polarities of the AC
adapter are correct (see Figure 1.2.2). Do not apply power from the adapter in excess of
the power ratings of the controller. Either of these cases can result in damage to the controller.
