INSTALLATION
CONNECTION
The Units that make up a PLC can be connected
simply by pressing the Units together and locking
the sliders by moving them toward the back of
the Units. The End Cover is connected in the
same way to the Unit on the far right side of the
PLC. Follow the procedure listed below to
connect PLC components.
The following diagram shows the connection of
two Units that make up a PLC. Join the Units so
that the connectors fit exactly.
The yellow sliders at the top and bottom of each
Unit lock the Units together. Move the sliders
toward the back of the Units as shown below
until they click into place.
Note If the locking tabs are not secured properly,
the may not function properly. Be sure to slide
the locking tabs until they are securely in place.
Attach the End Cover to the Unit on the far right
side of the Rack.
There is no Backplane. The PLC is constructed
by connecting Units together using the
connectors on the sides.
Attach the End Cover to the Unit on the far right
side of the Rack. An I/O bus error will occur and
the PLC will not operate in either RUN or
MONITOR mode if the End Cover is not
connected.
◊ NOTE
Always turn OFF the power supply before
connecting Units to each other.
Always turn OFF the power supply to the entire
system before replacing a Unit.
A maximum of 10 I/O Units can be connected to

a CPU Rack or an Expansion Rack.
DIN TRACK INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to install a PLC on DIN
Track.
Release the pins on the backs of the Units.
Fit the back of the PLC onto the DIN Track by
inserting the top of the track and then pressing in
at the bottom of the PLC
Lock the pins on the backs of the Units.
Install a DIN Track End Plate on each end of the
PLC. To install an End Plate, hook the bottom on the
bottom of the track, rotate the Plate to hook the top of
the Plate on the top of the track, and then tighten the
screw to lock the Plate in place.

ATTERY FREE OPERATION
When the user program or data in the parameter areas is transferred to the CPU Unit, it
is now automatically backed up in the flash memory built into the CPU Unit. At startup,
this data is automatically restored from the flash memory to the operating memory,
enabling battery-free operation without a Memory Card.
b
I
NTERNAL BATTERY
This makes sure, that when voltage of the internal battery of the logic goes below the
alarm limit, the logic continue to operate.
b
B
ATTERY REPLACEMENT
Keep the power on during the battery replacement
procedure.
If the power disappears accidentally, the capacitor
that backs up memory will keep the memory alive 5
minutes.
Open the compartment on the upper left of the
CPU (A1) unit and carefully draw out the battery.
Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the
opening at the bottom of the battery compartment
cover and lift open the cover.
Check, that the new battery is same as the old one.
Remove the battery connector.
Connect the battery,
place it into compartment
Place the cable so that it is at an angle to the upper
right and close the cover.
Disconnect the logic power supply and restore it.
If you should change batteries often than once in three years, you should check,
if the control unit temperature is too high.

INSTALLING THE MEMORY CARD
Never insert the Memory Card facing the
wrong way. If the Memory Card is inserted
forcibly, it may become unusable.
Pull the top end of the Memory Card cover
forward and remove from the Unit.
Insert the Memory Card with the label facing to
the right. (Insert with the arrow on the Memory
Card label and the arrow on the CPU Unit
facing each other.)
Push the Memory Card securely into the
compartment. If the Memory Card is inserted
correctly, the Memory Card eject button will be
pushed out.

REMOVING THE MEMORY CARD
Press the Memory Card power supply switch.
Press the Memory Card eject button after the
BUSY indicator is no longer Lit.
The Memory Card will eject from the
compartment.
Remove the Memory Card cover when a
Memory Card is not being used.
Never remove the Memory Card while the CPU is
accessing the Memory Card. Press the Memory
Card power supply switch and wait for the BUSY
indicator to go OFF before removing the Memory
Card. In the worst case, the Memory Card may
become unusable if the PLC is turned OFF or the
Memory Card is removed while the Card is being
accessed by the CPU.

DIP
SWITCH SETTINGS
The CPU Unit has an 8-pin DIP switch that is used to set basic operational parameters
for the CPU Unit. The DIP switch is located under the cover of the battery
compartment.
The DIP switch settings are described in the circuit diagrams. In this manual given
values are “basic” values, which could be different as in circuit diagrams.
b
O
PERATION MODE
Normal operation mode is “MONITOR” mode set by program device.
The CPU Unit will not enter any mode except PROGRAM mode after backing up data
to a Memory Card using DIP switch pin 7. To enter RUN or MONITOR mode, turn OFF
the power supply, turn OFF pin 7, and then restart the PLC. This will enable changing
the operating mode as normal.
DIP POS FUNCTION
USAGE
ON Writing disabled for user program
memory.
(See note.)
1
OFF Writing enabled for user program
memory.
Used to prevent programs from being
accidentally overwritten from Programming
Devices (including Programming Console).
The following data cannot be overwritten when
pin 1 is ON:
All parts of the user program (programs in
all tasks)
All data in the parameter area (such as the
PLC Setup and I/O table)
When pin 1 is ON, the user program and
parameter area will not be cleared when the
memory clear operation is performed from a
Programming Device.
2
ON The user program is automatically
transferred from the Memory Card
when power is turned ON.
OFF The user program is not
automatically transferred from the
Memory Card when power is
turned ON.
Used to store the programs in the Memory
Card to switch operations, or to automatically
transfer programs at power-up (Memory Card
ROM operation).
Note When pin 7 is ON and pin 8 is OFF, easy
backup reading from the Memory Card is given
priority, so even if pin 2 is ON, the user
program is not automatically transferred from
the Memory Card when power is turned ON.

be not used.
There is a mistake in the upper or lower limit setting when scaling
is used. The set value is exceeded, the upper limit equals the
lower limit (not 0000), etc. A number outside of the 0 to 9999
BCD range has been specified for the ratio set value.
The wrong output status for when conversion is stopped has
been specified. The wrong number of samplings has been
specified for mean processing. The conversion time/resolution
setting or operation mode setting is incorrect.
ON ON
Error has occurred during data exchange with the CPU Unit.
No response from CPU Unit during fixed period.
Error has been generated in CPU Unit.
No error will be detected by the CPU Unit or displayed on the
Programming Console, because the CPU Unit is continuing
operation.
ON
The same unit number has been assigned to more than one Unit
or the unit number was set to a value other than 00 to 95. The
Special I/O Units registered in the I/O table are different from the
ones actually mounted.

SYMPTOM CAUSE
REMEDY
The ERH and RUN
indicators on the Special
I/O Unit are lit.
I/O refreshing is not being
performed for the Unit from the CPU
Unit (CPU Unit monitoring error). It’s
possible that cyclic refreshing has
been disabled for the Special I/O
Unit in the Cyclic Refresh Disable
Setting in the PLC Setup (i.e., the bit
corresponding to the unit number
has been set to 1).
Change the bit corresponding
to the unit number to 0 to
enable cyclic refreshing, or
make sure that the Unit is
refreshed from the program
using IORF at least once
every 11 s.
SET THE LINE TERMINATING RESISTOR
RS-422 is the standard for a point-to-point
connection between two devices. The line
terminating resistor on both sides of the RS-422
transmission link must be switched on. Þ "Terminate"
slide switch always in "ON" position.
