CHAPTER 4 PROGRAMMING CHAPTER 4 PROGRAMMING This chapter describes programs of the master module. When applying the program examples introduced in this chapter to the actual system, ensure the applicability and confirm that it does not cause system control problems. I/O Signals with CPU Module The master module is an intelligent function module.
4.1.2 Details of the input signal The input signal Xn0 is Module READY flag, and it turns on while the master module is operating normally. (It does not turn off with errors of Xn1 to Xn4.) For each of the input signals Xn1 to Xn4, an error flag that shows the condition of the AnyWire DB A20 transmission cable turns on.
CHAPTER 4 PROGRAMMING Buffer Memory Area This area is for data communication between the master module and CPU module. Buffer memory address Description Input (1024 points): The least significant bit of 100 is the 0th data, and the most to 13F significant bit of 13F is the 1023rd data.
4.2.1 I/O area The slave module requires "Address setting" which specifies the start number assigned in the transmission frame. The settings are configured in 2-point unit. The addresses of both an input slave module (e.g. input remote I/O module) and an output slave module (e.g. output remote I/O module) start from "0", and the area later than that number is occupied corresponding to the number of module points.
CHAPTER 4 PROGRAMMING 4.2.4 Number of connection addresses The number of connection IDs (addresses) is entered in 2400 . ( Page 48, CHAPTER 5) Any value from 0 to 128 is entered. 4.2.5 Value of connection addresses Up to 128 addresses of all the slave modules connected to the master module are written to 2401 to 2480 in the order from the lowest address.
Program Example The configuration of the programmable controller is as shown below. QJ51AW12D2 X0 to XF X10 to X2F I/O address Y10 to Y2F Power 16-point 16-point QJ51 supply input output Vacant Q06UDHCPU AW12D2 Q62P module module • Used device Device No.

CHAPTER 4 PROGRAMMING Input is output by the FROM instruction, and output is output by the TO instruction. A user program is added between the FROM and TO instructions. Reads inputs to X100 to X4FF Reads error address information Add a user program here. Outputs Y100 to Y4FF.
CHAPTER 5 MONITORING FUNCTION The AnyWire DB A20 slave module has the specific ID (address). When the master module sends the ID (address), disconnection and existence of slave modules are detected by receiving a reply from the slave module having the corresponding ID (address).
CHAPTER 5 MONITORING FUNCTION 5.1.1 Executing the automatic address detection function Use the SET switch or Automatic address detection command output (Yn1) to operate the automatic address detection. Using the SET switch Procedure Check that all of the slave modules are operating normally. Keep pressing the SET switch on the master module until the SET LED (green) turns on.

CHAPTER 7 CONNECTIONS The connection terminals (transmission cable terminal block) for the AnyWire DB A20 transmission cable can be connected and disconnected easily. The transmission cables and power supply cables are connected using the common terminal block. For compliance with the EMC and Low Voltage Directives, refer to Page 69, Appendix 1. Even when the compliance with the EMC and Low Voltage Directives is not required, use of an EMC-compliant configuration may reduce the influence from external noise.
CHAPTER 7 CONNECTIONS Transmission Cable Terminal Block Manufacturer: PHOENIX CONTACT GmbH & Co. KG (Contact: www.phoenixcontact.com) Model: MSTB 2,5/5-STF-5.08AU Tightening torque: 0.2 to 0.3Nm To tighten the connector, a flathead screwdriver having a tipped size of 0.4 2.5mm is required. Before removing the transmission cable terminal block, check that the terminal block mounting screws on the both sides are completely loosened (removed from the socket).
Cable Processing Bare cables can be connected to the transmission cable terminal block; however, for safety reasons, it is recommended to connect cables using bar solderless terminals. For wiring, use the connection cables as listed in Page 20, Section 2.2.1 and tighten them with the applicable tightening torque.
