FA2J/3S to FC5A Program Conversion Aid


Modbus TCP/IP MicroSmart Pentra now supports Modbus TCP/IP

– Port 1 supports Modbus TCP/IP Slave (Server)– Port 2 supports Modbus TCP/IP Master/Slave (Client/Server)

Modbus TCP Master (FC5A as master) Modbus TCP Slave (FC5A as slave)

Notes:• FC5A Modbus TCP/IP master

supports 1:1 communication only• FC5A Modbus TCP/IP

communication requires Web Server module (FC4A-ENET)

Communication Port 1 Upgrades

Communication protocol on Port 1 can be switched to Maintenance protocol by storing value 1 to data register D8007

Modbus RTU/ASCII Slave and Modbus TCP/IP Slave are supported

New options

Notes: RS232C is available on Port 1

Pins 6 and 7 are open

D8007 is 1

Yes

User protocol, Modbus protocol, or MODBUS TCP protocol

No

Yes

No Maintenance protocol

User Program Protection Upgrades

New protect option making it impossible to upload program from MicroSmart Pentra

New option

Caution: It is impossible to upload program from PLC if “Prohibited” settings is used. This is to ensure 100% protection of intellectual property.To disable this feature, an empty program needs to be download to the MicroSmart Pentra.


Key Matrix Input (1) The key matrix input can be programmed to form a matrix with inputs

and outputs to multiply input capabilities A maximum of 1280 inputs can be read with 5 sets of key matrix inputs

Example

Following diagrams show an example of Key Matrix Input of 5 inputs and 3 outputs. 15 Inputs are stored in internal relays starting from the internal relay specified.


Key Matrix Input (2)Wiring Example

Pictures below show an example of Key Matrix Input circuit. 4 inputs and 5 outputs are used to form 20 key matrix inputs.

INC, DEC, and XCHG INC (Increment)

DEC (Decrement)

XCHG (Exchange)

When input I0 is turned on, values in D10 is incremented by one.

When input I0 is turned on, values of D20 is decremented by one.

When input I0 is turned on, values in registers D20 and D24 designated by operands D1 and D2 are exchanged with each other.


RNDM (Random) and SUM (Sum)

While input is on, pseudorandom numbers between S1 and S2 are generated and stored in D1.

RNDM

Example When input I0 is turned on, RNDM is executed to generate a pseudorandom value ranging between 1 and 6.

While input is on, N blocks of data starting at S1 are added and the result is stored to D1.

SUM

Example When input I0 is turned on, D0 thru D3 are added, and the result is stored in D100.


DJNZ DJNZ (Decrement Jump Non-zero)

When M10 is turned on, ADD instruction is executed 100 times.

When DJNZ is executed, D1 is decremented by one, and the program jumps to LABEL 127 if D1 is not 0.

100 is stored to D1 as the number of repeat cycle.

ADD(W) is executed 100 times.


NDSRC NDSRC (N Data Search)

When input is on, a value S1 is sought in data registers starting with the data register S2. S3 specifies the quantity of data registers to search.Offset to the first match and quantity of matches are stored in D1 and D1+1.


Time Addition and Subtraction

When input is on, time data S2 are added/subtracted from date/time data S1, depending on the selected mode. The result is stored to D1.

Mode 0(Time)

Mode 1(Date and Time)

+/-

+/-

Day of week is calculated automatically


Sec and HMS conversionWhen input is on, time data S1 in hours, minutes, and seconds is converted into seconds, and the result is stored to D1.

When input is on, time data S1 in seconds is converted into hours, minutes, and seconds, and the result is stored to D1.

HTOS

STOH


HOUR (Hour Meter)While input is on, the ON duration is measured. The measuredtime value (hour, minute, and second) is stored to 3 consecutivedata registers starting from D1 and compared with the preset value S1.

When the D1 value reaches the S1 value, D2 is turned on.

HOUR

On durationPreset values

Example

Application• This instruction can be used to measure any kind of durations, such as operating hours.


Simulation Mode (User Protocol)

TXD & RXD instructions can be tested without actual PLCs.Simulation Settings dialog box is added.

User protocol (TXD & RXD) simulation is supported using a COM port of PCs.

FA2J/3S to FC5A Program Conversion Aid

New instructions of FC5A version 210 are supportedJINC, JDEC, and DJNZ of FA Series PLCs can be replaced to INC, DEC, and DJNZ of FC5A respectively

(1)

(2)

New Option for I/O Shifting(1) Inputs and outputs are shifted if I/Os don’t exist on the CPU module.

For example, in case of FC5A-D32, it doesn’t have I20-I27 and Q20-Q27.

I20- and Q20- are shifted to I30- and Q30- respectively.

(2) Inputs and outputs on the CPU module are not used.

I0- and Q0- are shifted to I30- and Q30- respectively.
