Overview 3.1 Overview 3.1.1 Outline of Operation Processings This section outlines processings performed from when the inverter is powered on until a sequence program is executed. The built-in PLC function processings are roughly classified into the following three types. (1) Initial processing Pre-processing for executing sequence operation.
Page 68
Power on Initial processing I/O initialization Data memory initialization Self-diagnostic checks I/O refresh processing Sequence program operation processing Until execution of END instruction END processing Self-diagnostic checks Updating of timer and counter present values and on/off of their contacts Fig 3.1 Operation Processings of Built-in PLC function Step 0 Overview...
RUN and STOP Operation Processings 3.2 RUN and STOP Operation Processings The built-in PLC function has two different operation statuses: RUN status and STOP status. This section explains the operation processings of the built-in PLC function in each operating status. (1) Operation processing in RUN status A RUN status indicates that a sequence program repeats its operation in order of step 0 to END (FEND) instruction to step 0 when SQ-SD are shorted.
3.4 Programming Languages The built-in PLC function has two different programming methods: one that uses ladders and the other that uses dedicated instructions. • Programming that uses ladders is performed in the relay symbolic language. *1 • Programming that uses dedicated instructions is performed in the logic symbolic language.
Page 71
Programming Languages (2) Sequence program operation method Sequence program operation repeats execution from a ladder block at step 0 to an END instruction. In a single ladder block, operation is performed from the left hand side vertical bus to the right, and from the top to the bottom. Beginning of one ladder block Operation...
3.4.2 Logic symbolic language (List mode) The logic symbolic language uses dedicated instructions for programming contacts, coils, etc. instead of their symbols used by the relay symbolic language. (1) Program operation method Sequence program operation is executed from an instruction at step 0 to an END instruction in due order.
Operation Processing Method of PLC Function 3.5 Operation Processing Method of PLC Function The operation processing method is the repeated operation of a stored program. (1) Stored program system 1) In a stored program system, a sequence program to be operated is stored in the internal memory beforehand.
3.6 I/O Processing Method The control system is a refresh system. 3.6.1 What is refresh system? In the refresh system, control input terminal changes are batch-imported into the input data memory of the CPU before execution of each scan, and the data of this input data memory are used as the input data for operation execution.
I/O Processing Method 3.6.2 Response delay in refresh system This section describes a delay of an output change in response to an input change. An output change in response to an input change has a delay of up to two scans as shown in Fig.
3.7 Scan Time (1) Scan time A scan time is a time from when sequence program operation is executed from step 0 until step 0 is executed again. The scan time of each scan is not equal, and changes depending on whether the used instructions are executed or not.
Numerical Values Usable in Sequence Program 3.8 Numerical Values Usable in Sequence Program The built-in PLC function represents numerical values, alphabets and other data in two statuses: 0 (OFF) and 1 (ON). The data represented by these 0s and 1s are called BIN (binary code). The built-in PLC function can also use HEX (hexadecimal code) that represents BIN data in blocks of four bits.
3.8.1 BIN (Binary Code) (1) Binary code BIN is a numerical value represented by 0s (OFF) and 1s (ON). In the decimal code, a number is incremented from 0 to 9, and at this point, a carry occurs and the number is incremented to 10. In BIN, 0, 1 are followed by a carry, and the number is incremented to 10 (2 in decimal).
Numerical Values Usable in Sequence Program the range -32768 to 32767. Therefore, each register of the built-in PLC function can store any value between -32768 and 32767. 3.8.2 HEX (HEX Decimal) (1) HEX HEX represents four bits of BIN data as one digit. Using four bits in BIN, you can represent 16 values from 0 to 15.
3.9 Description of devices 3.9.1 Device List The following table indicates the device names usable with the built-in PLC function and their ranges of use. Input (X) Output (Y) Internal relay (M) Latch relay (L) Step relay (S) Link relay (B) Points Timer (T) Specifications...
Description of devices 3.9.2 Inputs, Outputs X, Y Inputs and outputs are devices designed to transfer data between the inverter and external devices. Inputs provide ON/OFF data given to the corresponding control input terminals from outside the inverter. In a program, they are used as contacts (normally open, normally closed contacts) and the source data of basic instructions.
Page 82
(1) Inputs X (a) Inputs are designed to give commands and data from external devices, such as pushbuttons, select switches, limit switches and digital switches, to the inverter (built-in PLC function). (b) On the assumption that the PLC function contains a virtual relay Xn for one input point, the normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) contact of that Xn is used in the program.
Page 83
Description of devices (2) Outputs Y (a) Outputs are designed to output the control results of a program to outside the inverter (signal lamps, digital indicators, magnetic switches (contactors), solenoids, etc.). (b) An output can be exported to outside the inverter as equivalent to one N/O contact.
3.9.3 Internal Relays M Internal relays are auxiliary relays that are used in the PLC function and cannot latch data (backup for power failure). All internal relays are turned off when: • Power is switched from off to on; or •...
Description of devices 3.9.4 Timers T The timers of the PLC function are count up timers. The count up timer starts timing the present value when its coil turns on, and the contact of that timer turns on when the present value reaches the setting (time-out). 3.9.5 100ms, 10ms and 100ms retentive timers (1) 100ms and 10ms timers...
(2) 100ms retentive timers 1) A 100ms retentive timer is designed to time the ON period of the timer coil. When its coil turns on, the timer starts timing the present value and maintains the present value and contact ON/OFF state if the coil turns off. When the coil turns on again, the timer resumes timing from the maintained present value.
Page 87
Description of devices (2) Present value update timing and accuracy in refresh system 1) The timer accuracy is +2 scan times independently of the used timer and scan time. 2) The following shows the present value update timing and accuracy when the 10ms timer is used in a program where the scan time is 10ms or more.
3.10 Counters C The counters of the built-in PLC function are up counters. An up counter stops counting and its contact turns on when the count value reaches the setting. (1) Count processing 1) The coil of the counter is turned on/off at execution of the OUT C and its present value is updated and its contact turns on after execution of the END instruction.
Counters C 3.10.1 Count processing in refresh system The counter counts on the leading edge of the input condition of the counter imported at an input refresh. Ladder example Counting method Input (X) refresh (Image) C3 coil C3 present value C3 contact REMARKS Refer to page 85 for the maximum counting speed of the counter.
3.10.2 Maximum counting speed of counter The maximum counting speed of the counter is determined by the scan time, and the counter can count only when the ON/OFF period of the input condition is longer than the scan time. Maximum counting speed Cmax REMARKS The duty n is a percent (%) ratio of ON/OFF period to (ON + OFF period) of the count input signal.
Data Registers D 3.11 Data Registers D (1) Data registers are memories that can store numerical data (-32768 to 32767 or H0000 to HFFFF) in the built-in PLC function. One point of data register consists of 16 bits and allows data to be read/written in units of 16 bits.
3.12 Special Relays, Special Registers Special relays and special registers are internal relays and data registers, respectively, whose applications are predetermined by the built-in PLC functions. They have the following main applications. (1) Sequence operation check The special relays and special registers can be used to: (a)Check the operating status (RUN/STOP) (b)Detect a fault by the self-diagnostic function (c)Detect an operation error...
