FX3U/FX3UC Series Programmable Controllers 1 Introduction
Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 1.1 Programming Language in PLCs

1. Introduction
This chapter explains basic items related to programming in FX3U and FX3UC programmable controllers
(PLCs).

1.1 Programming Language in PLCs

This section explains the features of programming in FX3U and FX3UC PLCs.

1.1.1 Types of programming languages

FX3U and FX3UC PLCs support the following three types of programming languages:

1. List programming
This method is the basis of programs.
1) Features
In this method, sequence instructions are input in the form of instruction words such as "LD", "AND" and
"OUT".
This input method is the basis of sequence programs.
2) Example of list display

Step Instruction Device number

0000 LD X000
0001 OR Y005
0002 ANI X002
0003 OUT Y005

2. Circuit programming
In this method, ladder formats are drawn on the graphic screen.
1) Features
In a circuit program, a sequence circuit is drawn on the graphic screen by sequence formats and device
numbers. Because a sequence circuit is expressed with contact symbols and coil symbols, the contents
of a program can be understood easily.
In the circuit display status, the PLC operations can be monitored.
2) Example of circuit display
X000 X002
Y005

Y005

The above list program is expressed in

the circuit diagram.

3. SFC (STL <step ladder>) programming

This input method allows sequence design in accordance with the flow of machine operations.
1) Features
In an SFC (sequential function chart) program, sequences can be designed in accordance with the flow of
machine operations.
2) Compatibility between SFC programs and other programs
SFC programs can be converted into another program format. And when list programs and circuit
programs are created according to certain rules, they can be converted inversely into SFC programs.

FX3U/FX3UC Series Programmable Controllers 2 Overview (Sequence Program)
Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 2.1 Introduction of Convenient Functions

2. Overview (Sequence Program)

This chapter explains the basic functions of FX3U/FX3UC PLCs.
This chapter includes not only the features of PLCs but also introduction of representative functions,
parameters and memory to utilize the functions of PLCs. Read this chapter before designing sequences.

2.1 Introduction of Convenient Functions

FX3U/FX3UC PLCs have the following instruction functions.

2.1.1 Convenient functions for input processing

1. "High speed counter" function of one phase or two phases for counting high speed inputs
One-phase high speed counters can execute counting at up to 100 kHz (or 200 kHz when a special high
speed input adapter*1 is used) regardless of the operation time because they process high speed pulses from
specific input relays as interrupts. (Two-phase high speed counters can execute counting at up to 50 kHz (or
100 kHz when a special high speed input adapter*1 is used).)
The counting result can be immediately handled as high speed counter output interrupts by specific program
processing and high speed counter counted values by comparison instructions dedicated to high speed
counters.
*1. Can only be connected to the FX3U PLC.
Related instructions: High speed counter compare;
HSCS (FNC 53), HSCR (FNC 54) and HSZ (FNC 55)

If the number of high speed counters is insufficient, special extension equipment (high speed counter
blocks) can be connected.
By extending hardware counters in the high speed counter block, high speed pulses at up to 50 kHz can be
received (except 1 and 4 edge count).
FX2N-1HC high speed counter block

2. "I/O refresh" function for receiving the latest input information

The input terminal information of the PLC in the batch refresh method is input all at once by the input image
memory before step 0. The output information is output at one time when END instruction is executed.
I/O refresh instruction can get the latest input information and immediately output the operation result during
sequence operation.
Related instruction: Refresh REF (FNC 50)

3. "Input filter adjustment" function for changing the time constant of input relays
Input relays in the PLC are equipped with a C-R filter of approximately 10 ms as countermeasures against
chattering and noise in input signals. Because a digital filter is adopted for the input relays X000 to X017*1,
however, the filter value can be changed in sequence programs.
Related instruction: Refresh and filter adjust instruction REFF (FNC 51)
*1. X000 to X007 in the FX3U-16M, FX3UC-16M.

4. "Pulse catch" function

The pulse catch function is provided as a method to receive short-time pulse signals.
The pulse catch function monitors signals from specific input relays, and sets special auxiliary relays in the
interrupt processing as soon as signals are input.
The pulse catch function can be used in a wide range of applications because even narrow pulses can be
easily received.
When complicated operations should be processed with high priority as interrupt by using specific trigger
signals, the "interrupt" function described later is suitable.
Refer to Section 35.7.

processing
Refer to Chapter 35.
1) Input interrupt
Signals from specific input relays are monitored. At the rising edge or falling edge of the monitored input,
a specified interrupt routine is executed with highest priority. 2

Overview
2) Timer interrupt
Specified interrupt routines are executed with highest priority at every specified time.
3) Counter interrupt
Depending on the present value of a high speed counter, a specified interrupt routine is executed with
highest priority.

2.1.3 Functions for supporting sequence control

1. "Constant scan" mode for making the operation cycle of the PLC constant 7
The operation cycle in the PLC adopting the cyclic operation method varies depending on the contents of the

Instruction
Basic
program execution.
In the constant scan mode (M8039 and D8039), the operation cycle can be made constant. As a result,
instructions executed in synchronization with the operation can be processed in a constant cycle.

2. "All outputs disable" mode for turning OFF all output signals
When the special auxiliary relay M8034 is driven, the output latch memory is cleared. Accordingly, all output
8

FNC00-FNC09

relays (Y) turn OFF while the PLC is continuing its operation.
However, the status of output relays (Y) in each device image memory is not cleared. As a result, when
devices are monitored using a programming tool, they may be regarded as the ON status.

3. "Memory hold stop" function for holding the output status during the RUN mode even in the
STOP mode 9
When the special auxiliary relay M8033 is driven, the PLC is stopped while the output status during the RUN

4. Registration of "entry code" for protecting programs

The entry code can be registered to prevent erroneous read/incorrect write protection of created sequence
programs.
With regard to online operations from GX Developer (Ver.8.23Z or later) and handy programming panels, the
program protection level can be set by the entry code specification method. In this case, such specification
that "changes of a program are disabled, but monitoring and changes of present values are enabled" is
available.
Refer to the manual of the used programming tool.

5. Addition of "comments" for a sequence program

By setting parameters, the device comment area (where Katakana, Kanji and alphanumeric characters are
available) can be secured in the program memory.
Refer to the manual of the used programming tool.

6. Writing programs in the RUN mode

Programs can be changed while the PLC is operating (RUN mode).
By this function, programs can be adjusted and changed efficiently without stopping the machine.
Refer to the manual of the used programming tool.

2.2 Introduction of Applied Instructions

1. Excellent fundamental performance

FX3U/FX3UC PLCs are equipped with not only fundamental applied instructions for data transfer, data
comparison, arithmetic operations, logical operations, data rotation and data shift but also with high speed
processing instructions for I/O refresh, interrupt, comparison dedicated to high speed counters and high
speed pulse output as well as initial state instructions by which standard operations for machine control are
made into packages in the SFC control. FX PLCs have the specifications offering fundamental functions, high
speed processing and good operability.

2. Advanced control available easily

In addition, FX PLCs offer many handy instructions by which complicated sequence control is made into
packages to mitigate the load for creating sequence programs and save the number of I/O points.
FX PLCs also offer floating point arithmetic operations and PID operations to cope with more advanced
control.

2.5 Introduction of Devices Constructing PLC

Many relays, timers, and counters are built into an FX3U/FX3UC PLC, with many NO (normally open) contacts
and NC (normally closed) contacts.
These contacts and coils are connected to make a sequence circuit.
A PLC is also equipped with data registers (D) and extension data registers (R) functioning as memory
devices to store numeric data values.

6. Data registers (D)

Refer to Section 4.8.
Data registers store numeric data values.
All data registers in FX PLCs are 16-bit type
(whose most significant bit is positive or
negative). When two consecutive registers are
combined, they can handle 32-bit numeric value
(whose most significant bit is positive or
negative).
(For the numeric value range, refer to "Counter"
on the previous page.)
In the same way as other devices, data registers
are classified into general type and latched type
(battery backed).

7. Extension registers (R) and extension file

registers (ER)
Refer to Section 4.9.
Extension registers (R) are the extended form of
data registers (D). They are protected by the
battery against power failure.
While a memory cassette is mounted, the
contents of extension registers (R) can be stored
in extension file registers (ER). Extension file
registers (ER) can be used only while a memory
cassette is mounted.

8. Index registers (V)(Z)

Refer to Section 4.10.
Among registers, there are index type registers V
and Z used for modification.
A data register V or Z is added to another device
as follows:
[In the case of "V0, Z0 = 5"]
D100V0 = D105, C20Z0 = C25 Device
number + V or Z value
Data registers and index registers are used for
indirectly specifying the set value of timers and
counters, or used in applied instructions.

9. Pointers (P)(I)
Refer to Section 4.11.
Pointers are classified into branch pointers and
interrupt pointers.
A branch pointer (P) specifies the jump
destination of the conditional jump CJ (FNC
00) or the call subroutine CALL (FNC 01)
instruction.
An interrupt pointer (I) specifies the routine of
an input interrupt, timer interrupt or counter
interrupt.

10.Constants (K)(H)(E)
Refer to Chapter 5.
Constant numerical values used in the PLC, "K"
indicates a decimal integer value, "H" indicates a
hexadecimal value, and "E" indicates a real
number (floating point data).
Constants are used as set values or present
values of timers and counters, or operands for
applied instructions.

Cautions
(Refer to the Hardware Edition of the main unit.)

2.6.4 Change between general devices and latched (battery backed) devices

1. When using latched (battery backed) type devices as non-latch type devices
In FX3U/FX3UC PLCs, some latched (battery backed) type devices can be changed into non-latch type
devices by the parameter settings described later.
Devices dedicated to latched type cannot be changed into non-latch type devices even by the parameter
settings. Such devices can be handled as non-latch type devices by clearing all latched (battery backed) type
devices by the initial pulse (M8002) in a program.

2. When using non-latch type devices as latched (battery backed) type devices
In FX3U/FX3UC PLCs, non-latch type devices can be changed into latched (battery backed) type devices by
the parameter settings described later.

2.6.5 How to initialize devices (battery backed)

Latched (battery backed) type devices can be initialized by clearing the entire PLC memory using peripheral
equipment, clearing all latched memory using the special auxiliary relay M8032, or executing the ZRST
instruction.
This subsection describes two major methods.

1. M8032 (latch memory all clear)

When M8032 is turned ON, all latched (battery backed) type devices (including reset coils of timers and
counters) are cleared.
M8032 can be turned ON and OFF using the forced ON/OFF operation from peripheral equipment or within
the sequence program. Note that latched type devices cannot be turned ON while M8032 is ON.
When turning ON M8032 within the sequence program, note that latched type devices are cleared during
END processing after M8032 is turned ON.
Program example: This program clears all latched type devices.

Introduction
The ZRST instruction can clear multiple devices all at once.
(Because only a limited device range can be specified for the ZRST instruction, only a part of the latched type
devices can be cleared at a time.)

Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 2.7 Types and Setting of Parameters

2.7 Types and Setting of Parameters

Setting of parameters means setting the environment where the PLC operates.
Almost all FX3U/FX3UC PLCs can be used with factory default values. When it is necessary to add optional
memory, set the comment capacity, set the communication condition for serial ports, etc., change the
parameter settings by a programming tool such as personal computer.

2.7.1 Parameter list

The following items may be set in the parameter settings.

Classification Item Description

This parameter specifies the maximum value for the number of steps to which a
sequence program can be input.
Memory 1) The upper limit is determined by the capacity of the built-in memory or optional
capacity memory.
2) The program memory, file register, comment area, and other special setting
capacities are contained in this memory capacity.
This parameter incorporates comments into the program memory.
1) Because comments remain in the PLC, the contents can be easily understood at the
Comment time of maintenance.
area 2) Up to 50 comments can be input when one block is specified, but the program
memory capacity is reduced because the comment area requires 500 steps in the
memory capacity.
Memory This parameter incorporates data registers into the program memory.
capacity 1) A sequence program and control data such as machining set values can be handled
together, which is convenient.
File register
2) Up to 500 file registers can be created when one block is specified, but the program
memory capacity is reduced because file registers require 500 steps in the memory
capacity.
1) This parameter sets whether or not the special block/unit initial value setting
function is used.
When this function is used, the program memory capacity is reduced because this
Other special
function requires 4000 steps (8 blocks) in the memory capacity.
setting
2) This parameter sets whether or not the positioning setting (constants and setting
capacity
table) in TBL (FNC152) instruction is used. When this setting is used, the program
memory capacity is reduced because this setting requires 9000 steps (18 blocks) in
the memory capacity.
Latch range This parameter enables to change the latched (battery backed) device range and the

4.2.3 Operation timing of input relays

Introduction
The PLC executes sequence control by repeatedly executing the following processing procedure. In this
batch I/O method, not only are there driving times of input filters and output devices but also response delays
caused by operation cycles. (Refer to Section 6.3.)

4.3 Auxiliary Relay [M]

There are many auxiliary relays inside the PLC. Coils of auxiliary relays are driven by contacts of various
devices inside the PLC in the same way as output relays.
Auxiliary relays have many electronically NO contacts and NC contacts which can be used arbitrarily inside
the PLC. However, external loads cannot be driven directly by these contacts. External loads should be
driven by output relays.

2. Latched (battery backed) type

Introduction
When the power is turned OFF while the PLC is operating, all of the output relays and general type auxiliary
relays turn OFF.
When restoring the power again, all of the output relays and general type auxiliary relays remain OFF except
those whose input condition is ON. In some output relays and auxiliary relays, however, the ON/OFF status
just before power failure should be stored and then replicated when restoring the power, depending on control
targets. In such a case, use latched (battery backed) type auxiliary relays.

4.4 State Relay [S]

State relays (S) are important devices to program stepping type process control simply, and combined with
the step ladder instruction STL.
State relays can be used in the SFC (sequential function chart) programming method.
For programming by the step ladder instruction and SFC method, refer to Chapter 34.

Instruction
Annunciator type state relays can be used as outputs for external fault diagnosis.

For example, when an external fault diagnosis circuit shown in the figure below is created and the contents of
the special data register D8049 are monitored, the smallest number out of the active state relays S900 to
S999 is stored in D8049.
If two or more faults have occurred, the smallest state number having a fault is displayed at first. When the 4

1) Use timers T192 to T199 in subroutines and interrupt routines. These timers execute counting when a
coil instruction or END instruction is executed.
When such a timer reaches the set value, its output contact turns on when a coil instruction or END
instruction is executed.
Because general type timers execute counting only when a coil instruction is executed (Refer to "4.5.5 5
Details of timer operation and timer accuracy" below.), they do not execute counting and do not operate

2) When a retentive timer for 1 ms pulses (T246 to T249) is used in a subroutine or interrupt routine, note
that its output contact turns on when the first coil instruction is executed after the retentive timer has
reached the set value. 6

1. General type and latched (battery backed) type 16-bit up counters
The valid set range of 16-bit binary up counter is from K1 to K32767 (decimal constant).
K0 provides the same operation as K1, and the output contact turns on at the first counting. 2
In general type counters, the counter value is cleared when the PLC turns off. In latch type counters,

however, the counter value just before power failure is stored (backed up by the battery); The counter
value in the subsequent operations can be added to the last counter value.
Every time the coil C0 is driven by the counting input X011, the current value of the counter increases.
When a coil instruction is executed 10 times, the output contact turns on.
After that, the current value of the counter does not change even if the counting input X011 turns on after 3
that.

2. General type and latched (battery backed) type 32-bit bi-directional counters

Instruction
Basic
The valid set range of 32-bit binary bi-directional counters is from 2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647 (decimal
constant). The counting direction (up or down) is specified by special auxiliary relays M8200 to M8234.
When M8UUU is driven for CUUU, a counter executes down-counting. When M8UUU is not driven, a
counter executes up-counting. (Refer to the previous page.)
The set value (positive or negative) can be specified by a constant (K) or the contents of data registers (D). 8
When data registers are used, 32-bit data composed of paired serial devices are treated as set values.

When the coil C200 is driven by the counting input X014, a counter starts up-counting or down-counting.
When the current value of a counter increases from "6" to "5", the output contact is set. When the

The current value increases or decreases regardless of the operation of the output contact. When a
counter executes up-counting from "+2,147,483,647", the counter value becomes "2,147,483,648". In the
same way, when a counter executes down-counting from "2,147,483,648", the counter value becomes
"+2,147,483,647". (This type of counter is called ring counter.)
When the reset input X013 turns ON and then RST instruction is executed, the current value of the counter
is reset to "0" and the output contact returns.
In a latch type counter, the current value, output contact operation and reset status of the counter are
latched (battery backed) by the battery built in the PLC.
For details on backup methods against power failure, refer to Section 2.6.
A 32-bit counter can be used as a 32-bit data register. 32-bit counters cannot be handled as target devices
in 16-bit applied instructions.
If data beyond the set value is written to the current value register by DMOV instruction, etc., the counter
continues counting and the contact does not change when the next counting input is received.

4.7.2 Input assignment for high speed counters

Inputs X000 to X007 are assigned as shown in the table below according to each high speed counter number.
When a high speed counter is used, the filter constant of a corresponding input number in the main unit
automatically changes (X000 to X005: 5 s, X006 and X007: 50 s). Input terminals not used for high speed
counters, however, can be used as general inputs.
When FX3U-4HSX-ADP unit is connected to an FX3U PLC, input terminals inside bold-line frames in the table
below are assigned to the first FX3U-4HSX-ADP unit, and other input terminals are assigned to the second
FX3U-4HSX-ADP unit.
For the input specifications of the FX3U-4HSX-ADP, refer to the FX3U Hardware Edition.
For the input specifications of the main unit, refer to the Hardware Edition of the main unit.

Restriction to overlap input numbers

Introduction
Inputs X000 to X007 are used for high speed counters, input interrupt, pulse catch, SPD/ZRN/DSZR/DVIT
instructions and general-purpose inputs. When assigning functions, there should be no overlap between
those input terminals.
For example, when C251 is used, X000 and X001 are occupied. As a result, "C235, C236, C241, C244,
C246, C247, C249, C252 and C254", "input interrupt pointers I000 and I101", "pulse catch contacts M8170 2
and M8171" and "SPD, ZRN, DSZR and DVIT instructions using X000 and/or X001" cannot be used.

Overview
Since the FX3U-4HSX-ADP and FX3UC PLC main unit share the same assigned input terminal numbers,
only one of them may be used in operation. If both input terminals are used, intended operation is not
enabled because the inputs of the FX3U-4HSX-ADP and PLC main unit operate in an "OR" relationship.

The current value increases or decreases without regard to the operation of the output contact. When a
counter executes up-count from "+2,147,483,647", the counter value becomes "2,147,483,648". In the
same way, when a counter executes down-count from "2,147,483,648", the counter value becomes
"+2,147,483,647". (This type of counter is called a ring counter.)
When the reset input X011 turns ON and RST instruction is executed, the current value of the counter is
reset to "0" and the output contact is restored.
In a latch type high speed counter, the current value, output contact operation and reset status of the
counter are latched (battery backed) by the backup battery built in the PLC.

2. 1-phase 2-count input

These counters are 32-bit binary bi-directional counters, and the operation of the output contact for the
current value is equivalent to that in 1-phase 1-count input type high speed counters described above.
X011 While X012 is ON, C246 executes up-count when the input
RST C246 X000 turns from OFF to ON, and executes down-count when
the input X001 turns from OFF to ON.

While X012 is ON, C249 immediately starts counting when the

The up-count input is X000, and the down-count input is X001.
X012
A high speed counter can be reset by X011 in a sequence as
C249 K1234
shown in the figure, but C249 is immediately reset without any
program when X002 is closed. So a program with X011 is not
necessary.
The up/down-count operation of C246 to C250 can be checked
with M8246 to M8250.

3. 2-phase 2-count input

These counters are 32-bit binary bi-directional counters, and the operation of the output contact for the
current value is equivalent to that in 1-phase high speed counters described above.
X011 While X012 is ON, C251 counts the operation of the inputs
RST C251 X000 (A phase) and X001 (B phase) as interrupt.
When X011 turns ON a RST instruction is executed and C251
X012 is reset.
C251 K1234
When the current value becomes equivalent to or larger than
C251 the set value, Y002 turns ON. When the current value becomes
Y002 equivalent to or smaller than the set value, Y002 turns OFF.
M8251 Y003 turns ON (for down-count) or OFF (for up-count)
Y003 according to the counting direction.

X011 When X006 turns ON while X012 is ON, C254 immediately

RST C254 starts counting. Its counting inputs are X000 (A phase) and
X001 (B phase).
X012
C254 D0(D1) In addition to reset by X011 in a sequence, C254 is reset
immediately when X002 turns ON.

the set value (D1, D0), Y004 turns ON. When the current value
M8254 becomes equivalent to or smaller than the set value, Y004 turns
Y005 OFF.
Y005 turns ON (for down-count) or OFF (for up-count)
according to the counting direction.

4.7.9 Conditions for hardware counters to be handled as software counters

Introduction
High speed counters are classified into hardware counters and software counters. In some conditions,
however, hardware counters are handled as software counters.
In this case, use hardware counters within the range of maximum response frequency and total frequency as
determined for software counters. 2
Conditions under which counters are handled as software counters

Overview
Hardware
Condition in which hardware counters are handled as software counters
counter No.
Because hardware counters execute counting at the hardware level of the FX3U/FX3UC, they can
execute counting regardless of the total frequency.
However, when hardware counters are handled as software counters with the following conditions, their 3
maximum response frequency and total frequency are limited in the same way as the software counters.

List
Instruction
Use M8380 to M8387 to check whether high speed counters are handled as hardware counters or
software counters.
When DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54), DHSZ (FNC 55) or DHSCT (FNC280) instruction is used
for a hardware counter number, the hardware counter is handled as a software counter.

4.7.10 Response frequency of high speed counters

1. Response frequency of hardware counters

The table below shows the maximum response frequency of hardware counters.
When hardware counters are handled as software counters in some operating conditions, their maximum
response frequency becomes equivalent to that of software counters, and thus hardware counters are some
times subject to restrictions in total frequency.
For the conditions in which hardware counters are handled as software counters,
refer to the previous page.

2. Response frequency and total frequency of software counters

The table below shows the maximum response frequency and total frequency of software counters.
When using the HSZ or HSCT instruction in a program, both the maximum response frequency and the total
frequency are limited for all software counters without regarding the operands of the instruction. When
examining a system or creating a program, consider the limitations, and use software counters within the
allowable range of maximum response frequency and total frequency.
For the conditions handled as software counters, refer to the previous page.

4.7.11 Cautions on use

For a contact to drive the coil of a high speed counter, use a contact which is normally ON during high
speed counting.

Example: M8000 (RUN monitor NO contact) Input number corresponding to

X000 C235
C235 C235

Program a contact which is If a number of input relay for counting is specified, high
normally ON during counting. speed counter cannot execute accurate counting.

If the operation of a high speed counter is triggered by a device such as a switch, the counter may
malfunction due to extra noise from switch chattering or contact bounce.
The input filter of an input terminal for a high speed counter in the main unit is automatically set to 5 s
(X000 to X005) or 50 s (X006 and X007).
Accordingly, it is not necessary to use the REFF instruction or special data register D8020 (input filter
adjustment).
The input filter for input relays not being used for high speed counters remains at 10 ms (initial value).
The inputs X000 to X007 are used for high speed counters, input interrupt, pulse catch, SPD/DSZR/DVIT/
ZRN instructions and general-purpose inputs. There should be no overlap between each input number.
For example, when C251 is used, X000 and X001 are occupied. As a result, "C235, C236, C241, C244,
C246, C247, C249, C252 and C254", "input interrupt pointers I00* and I10*", "pulse catch contacts M8170
and M8171" and "SPD instruction using X000 and/or X001" cannot be used.
When a counting pulse is not provided, none of the high speed counter output contacts will turn ON, even
if the PLC executes an instruction where "present value = set value."
Counting may be started or stopped for a high speed counter when the output coil (OUT C***) is set to ON
or OFF. Program this output coil in the main routine. If the output coil is programmed in a step ladder
(SFC) circuit, subroutine or interrupt routine, counting cannot be started or stopped until the step ladder or
routine is executed.
Make sure that the signal speed for high speed counters does not exceed the response frequency
described above. If an input signal exceeds the response frequency, a WDT error or parallel link
malfunction may occur.
When a high speed counter is reset by the RST instruction, it cannot count until the RST instruction is set
to OFF.

4.8 Data Register and File Register [D]

Data registers are devices for storing numeric data. File registers are handled as the initial values of data
registers.
Each data register or file register stores 16-bit data (whose most significant bit specifies the positive or
negative sign). Combined two data registers or file registers can store 32-bit numeric data (whose most
significant bit specifies the positive or negative sign).
For the functions and operations of file registers, refer to Subsection 4.8.4.

4.8.3 Functions and operation examples of data registers

Data registers are devices for storing numeric data.
Each data register stores 16-bit data (whose most significant bit specifies the positive or negative sign). Two
data registers combined can store 32-bit numeric data (whose most significant bit specifies the positive or
negative sign).

1. General type and latched (battery backed) type data registers

Once data is written to a data register it does not change unless other data overwrite it.
When the PLC mode switches from "RUN" to "STOP" or when the power is interrupted, however, all data
stored in general type data registers is cleared to "0".
If the special auxiliary relay M8033 has been driven in advance, data is held even when the PLC mode
switches from "RUN" to "STOP".
Latched (battery backed) type data registers hold their contents even when the PLC mode switches from
"RUN" to "STOP" or when the power is interrupted.
The contents of data registers are backed up by the battery built in the PLC.
For details on each backup method, refer to Section 2.6.
When using fixed latched (battery backed) type data registers as general type data registers, provide the
following reset circuit by RST or ZRST instruction at the head step in a program.
M8002
FNC 40 Data stored in D512 to D999 are

ZRST
Initial pulse

For file registers, refer to Subsection 4.8.4.

2. Special type data registers

Special type data registers contain informative, special purpose data and are sometimes written to during
program operation.
The contents of special type data registers are cleared to their initial values when restoring the power.
(Generally, these data registers are cleared to "0" at first, and then the initial values (if there are any) are
written by the system ROM.)
For example, the watchdog timer time is set initially to D8000 by the system ROM. When changing the
contents, write a desired time to D8000 by transfer instruction MOV (FNC 12).

4.8.4 Functions and operation examples of file registers

A file register is a device for setting the initial value of a data register with the same number.
Each file register stores 16-bit data (whose most significant bit specifies the positive or negative sign). Two
file registers combined can store 32-bit numeric data (whose most significant bit specifies the positive or
negative sign).
Fixed latched (battery backed) type data registers D1000 to D7999 can be specified as file registers using
parameters.

In parameter settings, 1 to 14 blocks can be specified. One block secures 500 file registers, but uses the
program memory area by 500 steps.
When some of file registers D1000 and later are set as file registers, the remaining registers can be used
as latched (battery backed) type data registers.

This section explains how to handle file registers.

1. Operation of file registers

The file register area [A] set inside the built-in memory or optional memory is batch-transferred to the data
memory area [B] inside the system RAM when the power to the PLC is turned ON or when the PLC mode
switches from STOP to RUN.
The data register area [B] is latched (battery backed). When data registers are set as file registers by
parameters, however, the file register area [A] inside the program memory is transferred when the power of
the PLC is turned ON or when the PLC mode switches from STOP to RUN. This means that the contents
changed in the data memory are reinitialized when the PLC turns ON or when the PLC mode switches
from STOP to RUN.
When it is necessary to save data changed in the data memory using a sequence program, update the file
register area [A] to the changed values by the same-number register update mode in BMOV
(FNC 15) instruction described later.

clear" is executed from peripheral equipment, the file register area [A] inside the program memory is
changed, and then the data is automatically transferred to the data register area [B].
Accordingly, when file register devices are overwritten, the program memory should be "built-in memory
(RAM)" or "memory cassette (flash memory) whose protect switch is set to OFF". (The memory cassette

1. Cautions on using a memory cassette
When changing the contents of file registers stored in the flash memory inside the memory cassette, observe
the following condition:

Device &
Specified the
When writing data using a continuous operation type instruction in a program, data is written to the flash
memory in every operation cycle of the PLC.
For preventing this, make sure to use a pulse operation type instruction (BMOVP).
It takes 66 to 132 ms to write data to one serial block (500 points) in the flash memory. Execution of the
program is paused during this period. Because the watchdog timer is not refreshed at this time, it is
necessary to take proper countermeasures such as insertion of WDT instruction in a user program.

4.9 Extension Register [R] and Extension File Register [ER]

Extension registers (R) are devices for extending data registers (D), and are backed up by the battery.
While a memory cassette is mounted, the contents of extension registers (R) can be stored in extension file
registers (ER). However, extension file registers (ER) are available only while a memory cassette is
mounted.

4.9.7 Cautions on using extension file registers

1. Cautions on writing data to extension file registers

Because extension file registers are stored in the flash memory inside a memory cassette, pay attention to
the following points:
When writing data to extension file registers by SAVER instruction
Initialize sectors to be written before executing this instruction. After initialization, store data to be written
to extension registers.
In FX3UC PLCs Ver.1.30 or later, it is not necessary to initialize sectors to be written when using RWER
instruction.
When writing data to extension file registers by LOGR instruction
Initialize sectors to be written before starting to log data.
When using INITR instruction
This instruction initializes the contents of specified extension registers and extension file registers.
When initializing only extension file registers by this instruction, make sure to temporarily move the
contents of extension registers to unused extension registers or unused data registers before executing
this instruction.
When initializing only extension file registers in FX3UC PLCs Ver.1.30 or later, use INITER instruction.

2. Initialization of extension file registers

Because the contents of extension file registers are stored in the flash memory of a memory cassette, use the
data clear operation in a sequence program or GX Developer to initialize them.
1) When initializing extension file registers in a program
a) Initializing only extension file registers in sector units [Ver.1.30 or later]
Example: When initializing ER0 to ER4095 (initializing two sectors starting from ER0)
Command input
FNC 295 The current value is initialized to "FFFFH" in ER0
R0 K2 to ER4095.
INITERP

b) Initializing extension registers and extension file registers in sector units

Example: When initializing R0 to R4095 and ER0 to ER4095 (initializing two sectors starting from R0
and ER0)
Command input
FNC 292 R0 K2 The current value is initialized to "FFFFH" in R0 to R4095 and
INITRP ER0 to ER4095.

2) When initializing extension file registers using GX Developer

Select [Online] [Clear PLC memory...] in GX Developer, and clear [Data device].
This operation initializes the contents of timers, counters, data registers, file registers and extension
registers.

4.10 Index Register [V and Z]

Introduction
Index registers can be used in the same way as of data registers. But they are special registers since they
can change the contents of device numbers and numeric values by program when combined with another
device number or numeric value in operands of applied instructions.

4.10.1 Numbers of index registers

Overview
The table below shows numbers of index registers (V and Z). (Numbers are assigned in decimal.)
When only "V" or "Z" is specified, it is handled as "V0" or "Z0" respectively.

4.10.3 Indexing of devices

Available devices and the contents of indexing are as described below:
For indexing method and cautions, refer to Section 5.7.

Decimal devices/numeric values: M, S, T, C, D, R, KnM, KnS, P and K

For example, when "V0 = K5" is specified and "D20V0" is executed, an instruction is executed for the device
number D25 (D20 + 5).
Constants can be indexed also. When "K30V0" is specified, an instruction is executed for decimal value K35
(30 + 5).

Octal devices: X, Y, KnX and KnY

For example, when "Z1 = K8" is specified and "X0Z1" is executed, an instruction is executed for the device
number X10 (X0 + 8: addition of octal value). When indexing for a device whose device number is handled in
octal, a numeric value converted into octal is added for the contents of V and Z.
Accordingly, note that when "Z1 = K10" is specified "X0Z1" indicates that X12 is specified, and X10 is not
specified.

Hexadecimal numeric values: H

For example, when "V5 = K30" is specified and a constant "H30V5" is specified, it is handled as H4E (30H +
K30). When "V5 = H30" is specified and a constant "H30V5" is specified, it is handled as H60 (30H + 30H).

4.11.3 Functions and operation examples of pointers for interrupt

For details on interrupt function, refer to Chapter 35.
There are three types of pointers for interrupt. When in use, they are combined with IRET(FNC03),
EI(FNC04) and DI(FNC05) for interrupt return, enabling interrupt and disabling interrupt.

1. Pointers for input interrupt (delay interrupt): 6 points

For details on input interrupt function, refer to Section 35.3 and Section 35.4.
The PLC can receive input signals from specific input numbers without influence of the operation cycle of the
PLC. By using these input signals as triggers, the PLC executes interrupt routine programs.
Because pointers for input interrupt can handle signals shorter than the operation cycle, use them for high
priority processing during sequence control and for control handling short pulses.

*1. Cleared when the PLC mode switches from RUN to STOP.
Non-overlap of input numbers
Inputs X000 to X007 are used for high speed counters, input interrupt, pulse catch, SPD/ZRN/DSZR/DVIT
instructions and general-purpose inputs. When assigning functions, there should be no overlap between
those input terminals.
For example, when the input interrupt pointer I001 is used, X000 is occupied. As a result, "C235, C241,
C244, C246, C247, C249, C251, C252 and C254", "input interrupt pointer I000", "pulse catch contact M8170"
and "SPD instruction using X000" cannot be used.
Delay function of input interrupt
This input interrupt has a function to delay the execution of interrupt routine in units of 1ms.
The delay time is specified by the following pattern program.
This delay function can electrically adjust the mounting position of sensors for input interrupts without shifting
the actual position.

5.1 Numeric Values Handled in PLCs

(Octal, Decimal, Hexadecimal and Real Numbers)
FX PLCs handle five types of numeric values according to the application and purpose.
This section explains the roles and functions of these numeric values.

5.1.1 Types of numeric values

1. Decimal numbers (DEC)

Set value (constant K) of timers and counters
Device numbers of auxiliary relays (M), timers (T), counters (C), state relays (S), etc.

4. Octal numbers (OCT)
In FX PLCs, device numbers of input relays and output relays are assigned in octal.
Because "8" and "9" do not exist in octal, device numbers are carried in the way "0 to 7, 10 to 17, 70 to 77,
100 to 107".

5. Binary coded decimal (BCD)

BCD format expresses each numeric value from 0 to 9 constructing each digit of a decimal number in a 4-bit
binary number.
Because handling of each digit is easy, this format is adopted in controlling digital switches of BCD output
type and seven-segment display units.

Binary floating point (real number)

When handling a binary floating point (real number) in data registers, use a pair of data registers having
consecutive device numbers.
When D11 and D10 are used, for example, a binary floating point is handled as shown below:
D 11(b15 to b0) D 10(b15 to b0)
7 6 5 1 0 -1 -2 -3
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2-21 2-22 2-23

(0: Positive, 1: Negative)
Binary floating point (real number) = (20 + A22 21 + A21 22 + ... + A0 223)
7 6 0
2 (E7 2 + E6 2 + ... + E0 2 )/2127

Example: A22=1 , A21=0, A20=1, A19 to A0=0, E7=1, E6 to E1=0, E0=1

Binary floating point (real number) = (20 + 1 21 + 0 22 + 1 23 + ... + 0 223)

7 6 0
2 (1 2 + 0 2 + ... + 1 2 )/2127
= 1.625 2129/2127 = 1.625 22

The sign bit b31 states whether data is positive or negative, but is not handled as a complement.

Handling of the zero (M8020), borrow (M8021) and carry (M8022) flags
These flags operate as follows in floating point operations.

- Zero flag : 1 when the result is 0

- Borrow flag : 1 when the result does not reach the minimum unit but is not 0
- Carry flag : 1 when the absolute value of the result exceeds the available numeric value range.

Monitoring of binary floating point (real number)

A programming software supporting the display of floating point such as GX Developer can directly monitor
binary floating point (real number).
A programming tool not supporting the display of floating point can monitor binary floating point (real number)
when it is converted into scientific notation (real number).

Scientific notation (real number)

Because binary floating point (real number) is difficult to understand for users, it can be converted into
scientific notation (real number). But internal operations are executed using binary floating point (real
number).
Scientific notation (real number) is handled by a pair of data registers having serial device numbers. Different
from binary floating point (real number), a data register having a smaller device number handles the mantissa
part, and the other data register having a larger device number handles the exponent part.
For example, when data registers D1 and D0 are used, they handle scientific notation as shown below. Data
can be written to D0 and D1 by MOV instruction.

Scientific notation (real number) = [Mantissa D0] 10 [Exponent D1]

Mantissa D0 = (1000 to 9999) or 0
Exponent D1 = 41 to +35

The most significant bit of D0 and D1 specifies the positive or negative sign respectively, and is handled as
the complement of 2 respectively.
The mantissa D0 does not allow "100", for example. In the case of "100", it is handled as "1000 101".
The scientific notation (real number) range is as follows:

- Minimum absolute value: 1175 1041

- Maximum absolute value: 3402 1035

5.3 Character Strings

Character strings are classified into character string constants which directly specify character strings in
operands in applied instructions and character string data.

5.3.1 Character string constant ("ABC")

A device "character string" directly specifies a character string in a sequence program.
Put half-width characters inside quotation marks (example: "ABCD1234") in specification.
JIS8 code is available.
Up to 32 characters can be specified as a character string.

5.3.2 Character string data

With regard to character string data, a specified device to the NUL code (00H) is handled as one character
string in 1-byte units.
When expressing (recognizing) character string data by bit devices with digit specification, however, 16 bits
are required for data including the NUL code (00H) specifying the end of the character string data because
the instruction length is 16 bits. (Refer to Example 2 in the step 2 below.)
In the following cases, an operation error occurs in the applied instruction (error code: K6706):
When "00H" is not specified in the corresponding device range after the source device number specified in
an applied instruction
When there are insufficient devices for storing character string data (including "00H" or "0000H" indicating
the end of the character string data) in the destination devices specified in an applied instruction

5.4 Specification of Digits for Bit Devices (Kn[ ]***)

Introduction
Handling of bit devices
Devices which handle only the ON/OFF information such as X, Y, M and S are called bit devices.
On the other hand, devices handling numeric values such as T, C, D and R are called word devices. 2
Even bit devices can handle a numeric value when they are combined. In this case, the number of digits Kn

Overview
and the head device number are combined.
The number of digits is expressed in 4 bit units (digits); K1 to K4 are used for 16-bit data, and K1 to K8 are
used for 32-bit data.
For example, "K2M0" indicates two-digit data expressed by M0 to M7.

Programming
Before
A bit device number can be specified arbitrarily, but it is recommended to set the least significant digit to "0"
for X or Y. (In other words, it is recommended to specify "X000, X010, X020 ... Y000, Y010, Y020 ...")
For M and S, multiples of "8" are ideal, but it is recommended to specify "M0, M10, M20 ..." to prevent
confusion.

A buffer memory (BFM) of a special function block or special extension unit can be specified directly.
BFM is 16-bit or 32-bit word data, and is mainly used for operands in applied instructions.
For specifying a BFM, specify the unit number (U) of a special function block or special extension unit and the
BFM number (\G) consecutively.
(Example: U0\G0 ... Indicates the BFM #0 in the special function block or special extension unit whose unit
number is 0.)
Indexing is available for BFM numbers.

register in the instruction. FNC 12 K0 Z4
When an index register Z (Z0 to Z7) is specified in a 32-bit DMOVP
instruction, the specified Z and its counterpart V (V0 to V7) work K0 V4,Z4
together as 32-bit registers. X002
The indexing operation is explained in an example in which the FNC 12 K10 Z4
transfer destinations [D1, D0] in DMOV instruction are indexed with DMOVP
the index registers [V4, Z4] (as shown in the figure on the right). K10 V4,Z4
Transfer K0 or K10 to the index registers [V4, Z4] in advance. X003
FNC 12 K69000 D0Z4
When X003 is set to ON, "[D(1+0), D(0+0)] = [D1, D0]" is realized if
DMOVP
[V4, Z4] is "0", and K69000 is transferred to [D1, D0].
V4,Z4=0 : K69000 D1 ,D0 (D0+0)
When X003 is set to ON, "[D(1+10), D(0+10)] = [D11, D10]" is V4,Z4=10 : K69000 D11,D10 (D0+10)

Introduction
1) When even if a numeric value written to index registers does not exceed the 16-bit numeric value range
(0 to 32767), make sure to overwrite both V and Z using a 32-bit instruction. If only Z is overwritten and
another numeric value remains in V, the numeric value will be extremely large. Thus an operation error
occurs.
2) It is not permitted to use 16-bit counters as 32-bit counters by executing indexing.

X001 = ON X002 = OFF
For example, suppose the X001 is ON and X002 is OFF.
First
In the first coil Y003, the image memory turns ON and the output X001
Y004 turns ON also because the input X001 is ON. Y003
In the second coil Y003, however, the image memory is set to 3
OFF because the input X002 is OFF.

6.5 General Rules for Applied Instructions

6.5.1 Expression and operation type of applied instructions

Instructions and operands

- Both a function number FNC 00 to FNC and a symbol (mnemonic) indicating the contents are
given to each applied instruction.
For example, a mnemonic "SMOV (shift move)" is assigned to FNC 13 instruction.
- Some applied instructions function only with their instruction part, but many instructions consist of the
instruction part and following operands.
Command
input FNC 13 S m1 m2 D n
SMOV

S : An operand whose contents do not change by execution of the instruction is called

"source", and is indicated by this symbol.
When a device number can be indexed with index registers, the source is expressed as
S with addition of " ".
When there are two or more sources, they are expressed as S1 , S2 , etc.
D : An operand whose contents change by execution of the instruction is called "destination",
and indicated by this symbol.
When indexing is allowed and there are two or more destinations, they are expressed as
D1 , D2 , etc. in the same way as sources.
m, n : Operands not falling under source or destination are expressed as m and n.
When indexing is allowed and there are two or more such operands, they are expressed as
m1 , m2 , n1 , n2 ,etc. in the same way as sources and destinations.

- In applied instructions, the program step of the instruction part always occupies 1 step, but each
operand occupies 2 or 4 steps depending on whether the instruction is 16-bit type or 32-bit type.

Devices handled as operands

- Bit devices themselves such as X, Y, M and S may be handled.
- Combined bit devices, KnX, KnY, KnM, KnS, etc, may be handled as numeric value data.
Refer to Section 5.4.
- Data registers D and current value registers for timers T and counters C may be handled.
- Though data registers D are the 16-bit type, two serial data registers are combined when 32-bit data is
handled.
For example, when a data register D0 is specified as an operand in a 32-bit instruction, D1 and D0 are
combined to handle 32-bit data. (D1 handles high-order 16 bits, and D0 handles low-order 16 bits.)
When current value registers for T and C are used as general data registers, they are handled in the
same way.
However, each of 32-bit counters C200 to C255 can handle 32-bit data, and cannot be specified as an
operand in a 16-bit instruction.

Instruction form and operation type

Introduction
Applied instructions are classified into "16-bit type" or "32-bit type" by the size of handled numeric values.
And by the operation type, applied instructions are classified into "continuous operation type" or "pulse
operation type".
Some applied instructions have every combination of this form and type, and others do not.

1. 16-bit type and 32-bit type

- Applied instructions handling numeric values are classified into the 16-bit type or the 32-bit type by the
bit length of the numeric value data.

List
Instruction

DMOV

- In a 32-bit type instruction, the symbol "D" is added (example: DMOV).

- Either an odd or even device number can be specified, and a specified device is combined with a device
having the subsequent larger number (in the case of word devices such as T, C and D).

in Detail
Devices
For avoiding confusion, it is recommended to specify an even device number (which will be the low-
order side) for an operand in a 32-bit instruction.
- 32-bit counter (C200 to C255) is regarded as 32 bits, and cannot be used as an operand in a 16-bit
instruction.

Examples: M8020: Zero flag M8021: Borrow flag M8022: Carry flag
M8029: Instruction execution complete flag
M8090: Block comparison signal M8328: Instruction non-execution flag

M8304: Zero Flag M8306:Carry Flag
These flags turn ON or OFF every time various instructions turn ON, but do not change when various
instructions turn OFF not driven or when errors have occurred.
Because these flags turn ON or OFF in many instructions, the ON/OFF status of flags change every time
such instructions are executed.
Program flag contacts directly under each instruction while referring to the examples below.

6.5.4 Handling functions of extension flag

In some applied instructions, the function can be extended by combining a specific special auxiliary relay
determined for each applied instruction. An example is explained below.

- When X000 turns ON, this instruction exchanges the

X000
contents of D10 and D11 with each other. FNC 17 D10 D11

- If M8160 has been driven before the XCH instruction

X000
and the source and destination of the XCH instruction M8160 Function extension flag
are specified to the same device, high-order 8 bits and for the XCH instruction
low-order 8 bits are exchanged with each other inside
FNC 17 D10 D10
the device. XCHP

- For returning this XCH instruction to the normal XCH Same number
instruction, it is necessary to set M8160 to OFF. M8160

When using an instruction requiring the function extension flag in an interrupt program, program DI instruction
(for disabling interrupt) before driving the function extension flag, and program EI instruction (for enabling
interrupt) after turning OFF the function extension flag.

Limitation in simultaneous instances of instructions

Introduction
Some applied instructions can be programmed two or more times, but the number of simultaneous instances
is limited.
Even in instructions not shown below, if two or more instructions are driven at the same time for a same I/O
number, it is regarded as double outputs. In some combinations of instructions, the operation may be
disrupted, or the instructions cannot be executed. 2
For details, refer to the caution described in each instruction page.

Overview
For combinations of instructions, refer to "6.4 Mutual relationship among program flow control instructions".

1. Positioning instructions
Do not drive FNC 57 (PLSY), FNC 58 (PWM), FNC 59 (PLSR), FNC150 (DSZR), FNC151 (DVIT), FNC156
(ZRN), FNC157 (PLSV), FNC158 (DRVI) and FNC159 (DRVA) instructions at the same time for the same
output number. 3

List
Instruction
2. High speed processing instructions
In FNC 53 (HSCS), FNC 54 (HSCR) and FNC 55 (HSZ) instructions (including FNC280 (HSCT) instruction),
make sure that up to 32 instructions are driven at the same time. [FNC280 (HSCT) instruction can be used
only once.]
Note that "FNC280 (HSCT) instruction", "table high speed comparison mode of FNC 55 (HSZ) instruction)"
and "frequency control mode of FNC 55 (HSZ) instruction" can each only be used once.

Devices
3. External device communication instructions
In FNC 80 (RS) and FNC 87 (RS2) instructions, do not drive two or more instructions at the same time for
the same port.
It is impossible to combine and use FNC 80 (RS), FNC 87 (RS2), FNC270 (IVCK), FNC271 (IVDR),

Cautions
1. Cautions when LDP, LDF, ANDP, ANDF, ORP, or ORF instruction programmed in a same
step is executed two or more times within one operation cycle
When LDP, LDF, ANDP, ANDF, ORP or ORF instruction programmed in a same step is executed two or
more times within one operation cycle, the following operation results:

Programs executed two or more times

Program between FOR and NEXT instructions FNC 08 K

more CALL instructions during one operation cycle X000

Program which jumps to a label (P) in a smaller step number by CJ

Operation
1) When a device turns ON from OFF
1st time: LDP, ANDP or ORP instruction turns ON.
2nd time and later: When the device status is same as the time when the instruction was executed last,
the instruction turns OFF.
2) When a device turns OFF from ON
1st time: LDF, ANDF or ORF instruction turns ON.
2nd time and later: When the device status is same as the time when the instruction was executed last,
the instruction turns OFF.

2. Cautions on write during RUN

1) Instructions for falling edge pulse
When write during RUN is completed for a circuit including an instruction for falling edge pulse (LDF,
ANDF, or ORF instruction), the instruction for falling edge pulse is not executed without regard to the ON/
OFF status of the target device of the instruction for falling edge pulse.
When write during RUN is completed for a circuit including an instruction for falling edge pulse (PLF
instruction), the instruction for falling edge pulse is not executed without regard to the ON/OFF status of
the operation condition device.
It is necessary to set to ON the target device or operation condition device once and then set it to OFF for
executing the instruction for falling edge pulse.
2) Instructions for rising edge pulse
When write during RUN is completed for a circuit including an instruction for rising edge pulse, the
instruction for rising edge pulse is executed if a target device of the instruction for rising edge pulse or the
operation condition device is ON.
Target instructions for rising edge pulse: LDP, ANDP, ORP, and pulse operation type applied instructions
(such as MOVP)

In the program example below, the instructions from MC to MCR are executed as they are while the input
X000 is ON.
However, while the input X000 is OFF, each driven device offers the following operation:
Timers (except retentive type timers) and devices driven by OUT instruction: Turn OFF.
Retentive type timers, counters and devices driven by SET/RST instruction: Hold the current status.
The expressions of circuit programs used to explain operations are circuits (for reading or monitoring) of GX

For returning from the nesting structure, reset the nest levels from the highest one in turn using MCR
instruction in the way "N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 N0".
For example, if "MCR N5" is programmed without programming "MCR N6" and "MCR N7", the nest level
is returned to 5 at one time.
Available nest levels are from N0 to N7 (eight layers).

Cautions on using RST instruction for a jumped program, subroutine program or interrupt program
When RST instruction for a timer or counter is executed in a jumped program, subroutine program or
interrupt program, the timer or counter may be kept in the reset status and the timer or counter may be
disabled.
For details, refer to the following sections:
For a jumped program, refer to Subsection 8.1.1.
For a subroutine program, refer to Subsection 8.2.1.
For an interrupt program, refer to Subsection 35.2.3.

3. Indexing
Devices used in SET and RST instructions can be indexed with index registers (V)(Z).
(State relays (S), special auxiliary relays (M), 32-bit counters, "D.b", and word devices cannot be indexed.)

V0 to V7 and Z0 to Z7 are available for

indexing.
X000 0000 LD X000 When a used device is an input (X) or output
SET Y000Z0 0001 SET Y000Z0 (Y), the value of an index register (V or Z) is

X001 0005 RST Y000Z0
Example: When Z0 is "20", Y024 turns ON or
RST Y000Z0

4. Bit specification of a data register (D)

A bit in data register (D) can be specified as a device used in SET or RST instruction.

When specifying a bit in data register, input "."

Circuit program List program
after a data register (D) number, and then
X000 0000 LD X000 input a bit number (0 to F) consecutively.
SET D0.3 0001 SET D0.3 Only 16-bit data registers are available.
0004 LD X001 Specify a bit number as "0, 1, 2, ... 9, A, B, ...
X001 0005 RST D0.3
F" from the least significant bit.
RST D0.3
Example: In the example shown on the left,
when X000 turns ON once, the bit 3
of D0 turns ON. When X001 turns
ON, the bit 3 of D0 turns OFF.

Caution
When SET and RST instructions are executed for an output relay (Y) in a same operation, the result of the
instruction located nearest the END instruction (which specifies the end of program) is output.

Errors
When an I/O number used in SET or RST instruction does not exist due to indexing, M8316 (Non-existing
I/O specification error) turns ON.
When the device number of a device (M, T or C) other than I/O used in SET or RST instruction does not
exist due to indexing, an operation error (error code: 6706) occurs.

Cautions
1. Relationship between the label input position and the list program
The figure below shows programming of a label.
When creating a circuit program, move the cursor to the left side of the bus line in the ladder diagram, and
input a label (P) at the head of the circuit block.

3. Jumping to one label from two or more CJ instructions

When the pointer number in operands is same and there is one label, the following operation is caused:
When X020 turns ON, the program execution jumps from CJ instruction corresponding to X020 to the label
P9. When X020 turns OFF and X021 turns ON, the program execution jumps from CJ instruction
corresponding to X021 to the label P9.

8.2.1 Cautions on subroutines and interrupt routines

This section explains cautions on creating programs in subroutines and interrupt routines.
The explanation below is given for subroutines, but the situation also applies to interrupt routines.
1. When using timers in subroutines (or interrupt routines)
Use retentive type timers T192 to T199 in subroutines.
These timers execute counting when the coil instruction or END instruction is executed.
After a timer reaches the set value, the output contact is activated when the coil instruction or END instruction
is executed.
Because general timers execute counting only when the coil instruction is executed, they do not execute
counting if they are used in subroutines in which the coil instruction is executed only under some conditions.
2. When using retentive type 1 ms timers in subroutines (or interrupt routines)
If a retentive type 1 ms timer is used in a subroutine, note that the output contact is activated when the first
coil instruction (or subroutine) is executed after the timer reaches its set value.
3. Countermeasures against latches of devices used in subroutines (or interrupt routines)
Devices which were set to ON in a subroutine are latched in the ON status even after the subroutine is
finished. (Refer to the program example shown below.)
When RST instruction for a timer or counter is executed, the reset status of the timer or counter is latched
also.
For turning OFF such a device latched in the ON status or for canceling such a timer or counter latched in the
reset status, reset such a device in the main program after the subroutine is finished, or program a sequence
for resetting such a device or for deactivating RST instruction in the subroutine. (Refer to the program
example shown on the next page.)
Example in which outputs are latched
In the following program example, the counter C0 is provided to count X001. When X000 is input, the
subroutine P0 is executed only in one scan, and then the counter is reset and Y007 is output.

Cautions
1. When a watchdog timer error occurs
A watchdog timer error may occur in the following cases. To avoid the error, input a program shown below
near the head step to extend the watchdog timer time, or shift FROM/TO instruction execution timing.
1) Caution when many special extension devices are connected
In such configuration that many special extension devices (such as positioning units, cam switches,
analog units and link units) are connected, the buffer memory initialization time may become longer, thus
the operation time may become longer, and a watchdog timer error may occur.
2) Caution when many FROM/TO instructions are driven at one time
When many FROM/TO instructions are executed or when many buffer memories are transferred, the
extension time may become longer, and a watchdog timer error may occur.
3) Caution when there are many high speed counters (software counters)
When many high speed counters are provided and high frequency are counted at one time, the operation
time may become longer, and a watchdog timer error may occur.

2. The watchdog timer time can be changed.

For details on changing watchdog timer time, refer to Subsection 36.2.2.
By overwriting the contents of D8000 (watchdog timer time), the watchdog timer detection time (initial value:
200 ms) can be changed.
By inputting the program shown below, the sequence program after this insertion is monitored by a new
watchdog timer time.

FNC 07 If WDT (FNC 07) instruction is not programmed, the value of
WDT D8000 is valid during END processing.

Program examples
1. When the operation cycle is long and causes an error
For example, by dividing a program whose operation cycle is 240 ms into two portions and inserting WDT
instruction between them, the operation cycle becomes less than 200 ms in both the former half portion and
the latter half portion.

2. When a label (P) of CJ instruction is located in a step number smaller than the step number
of CJ instruction
Put WDT instruction after the label (P).

Explanation of function and operation

1. 16-bit operation (ZCP and ZCPP)
The lower comparison value S1 and upper comparison value S2 are compared with the comparison
source S . According to the result (smaller, within zone or larger), either one among D , D +1 and
D +2 turns ON.
Comparison is executed algebraically. Example: 10 < 2 <10

D Turns ON in the case of
" [ S1 > S ] ".
D +1 Turns ON in the case of
" [ S1 S S2 ] ".
D +2 Turns ON in the case of
"[ S > S2 ] ".

Even if the command input turns OFF and ZCP instruction is not executed, D , D +1 and D +2 latch
the status just before the command input turns OFF from ON.

2. 32-bit operation (DZCP and DZCPP)

The lower comparison value [ S1 +1, S1 ] and upper comparison value [ S2 +1, S2 ] are compared
with the comparison source [ S +1, S ]. According to the result (smaller, within zone or larger), either
one among D , D +1 and D +2 turns ON.

2. Cautions on use
1) When updating the contents of a file register with a same number (same-number update mode), make
sure that the file register number is equivalent between S and D .
2) When using file registers in the same-number update mode, make sure that the number of transfer points
specified by "n" does not exceed the file register area.
3) If the file register area is exceeded while file registers are used in the same-number update mode, an
operation error (M8067) is caused and the instruction is not executed.
4) In the case of indexing (in the same-number update mode)
When S and D are indexing with index, the instruction is executed if the actual device number is
within the file register area and the number of transfer points does not exceed the file register area.
5) Handling of flash memory
When changing the contents of file registers secured inside the flash memory, observe the following
condition:
- Set the protect switch to OFF in the memory cassette.
- When writing data using a continuous operation type instruction in a program, data is written to the flash
memory in every operation cycle of the PLC.
To prevent this, make sure to use a pulse operation type instruction (BMOVP) so that the number of
times of writing is reduced.
- It takes 66 to 132 ms to write data of one serial block (500 points) to the flash memory. Execution of the
program is paused during this period. Because the watchdog timer is not refreshed at this time, it is
necessary to take proper countermeasures such as insertion of WDT instruction in a user program.
6) File register operation
File registers are secured inside the built-in memory or memory cassette.
Different from general data registers, file registers can be read and written only by peripheral equipment
or BMOV (FNC 15) instruction.
7) If a file register is not specified as the destination in BMOV (FNC 15) instruction, the file register is not
accessed.

A file register can be specified as D . But if a same number with S is specified, the same-
number register update mode is selected.
However, even if a file register having different number is specified for S and D respectively,
data cannot be transferred from the file register area to another file register area. In such a case, read
the contents of a file register specified as S in the same-number register update mode to the data
register area [B] once, and then write the data.
For the same-number register update mode of file registers, refer to Subsection 4.8.2.

Cautions
1. When using a 32-bit operation instruction (DADD or DADDP)
When specifying word devices, a 16-bit word device on the low-order side is specified first, and a word device
with the subsequent device number is automatically set for the high-order 16 bits.
To prevent number overlap, it is recommended to always specify an even number, for example.

2. When specifying the same device in the source and destination

The same device number can be specified for both the source and the destination.
In this case, note that the addition result changes in every operation cycle if a continuous operation type
instruction (ADD or DADD) is used.

Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 11.5 FNC 34 SFTR / Bit Shift Right

Explanation of function and operation

1. 16-bit operation (SFTR and SFTRP)
For "n1" bits (shift register length) starting from D , "n2" bits are shifted rightward ([1] and [2] shown
below).
After shift, "n2" bits from S are transferred to "n2" bits from D +n1-n2 ([3] shown below).

Explanation of function and operation

1. 16-bit operation (SFWR and SFWRP)
The contents of S are written to "n-1" devices from D +1, and "1" is added to the number of data
stored in D .
For example, when D = 0, the contents of S are written to D +1. When D = 1, the contents of
S are written to D +2.

Pointer

1) When X000 turns ON from OFF, the contents of S are stored to D +1. So the contents of
D +1 become equivalent to S .
2) When the contents of S are changed and then the command input is set to ON from OFF again, the
new contents of S are stored to D +2. So the contents of D +2 become equivalent to S .
(When the continuous operation type SFWR instruction is used, the contents are stored in each operation
cycle. Use the pulse operation type SFWRP instruction in programming.)
3) Data are stored from the right end in the same way, and the number of stored data is specified by the
contents of the pointer D .

Related device
For the carry flag use method, refer to Subsection 6.5.2.
Device Name Description
When the contents of the pointer D exceeds "n-1", no operation is executed (so data is

When "n" is set to "K4", either one point among M0 to M15 turns ON according to the value of D0 (0 to 15).
By changing "n" from K1 to K8, D0 can correspond to numeric values from 0 to 255.
However, because the device range of DD1 is occupied for decoding accordingly, such device range
should not be used for another control.

2. Turning ON the bit out of word devices according to the contents of bit devices

Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 13.2 FNC 51 REFF / Refresh and Filter Adjust

13.2.1 What should be understood before using REFF instruction

Generally, a C-R filter of approximately 10 ms is provided for inputs in PLCs as countermeasures against
chattering and noise at the input contacts.
A digital filter is provided for the inputs X000 to X017*1 in FX3UC PLCs. The digital filter value can be changed
within the range from 0 to 60 ms using applied instructions.
*1. X000 to X007 in the FX3U-16M, FX3UC-16M.

1. How to change the digital filter (executing END instruction)

The input filter initial value (10 ms) for X000 to X017*2 is set in special data register D8020.
By changing this value using the MOV instruction, etc., the input filter value for X000 to X017*2 which is used
during execution of the END instruction can be changed.

*2. X000 to X007 in the FX3U-16M, FX3UC-16M.

2. Instruction in which the digital filter is automatically changed

Regardless of the change in the filter time executed by the REFF instruction, when the following functions and
instruction are executed, the input filter value is automatically changed (to 5 s in X000 to X005 and 50 s in
X006 and X007).
However, if the digital filter is used in any other functions or instructions than the ones listed, the digital filter
uses the time set in D8020. As a result, the program will not run correctly if the ON or OFF duration of the
corresponding input signal is less than the input filter time.

2. Input numbers used in MTR instruction

1) Inputs available in MTR instruction
Use inputs X020 and later under normal conditions.
2) When using the inputs X000 to X017
The receiving speed is higher. Because the output transistor recovery time is long and the input
sensitivity is high, however, erroneous input pulses may be counted.
To prevent erroneous input pulses, connect pull-up resistors (3.3 k/0.5 W) to transistor outputs used in
MTR instruction.
For pull-up resistors, use the power supply shown in the table below.

13.4.1 Common cautions on using instructions for high speed counter

Device
External FX
FNC80-FNC89
DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54), DHSZ (FNC 55) and DHSCT (FNC280) instructions are provided for
high speed counters.
This section explains common cautions for these instructions.

1. Limitation in the number of an instruction in a program 17

DHSCS, DHSCR and DHSZ instructions can be used as many times as necessary in the same way as

Transfer 2

Data
FNC140-FNC149

3. Specification of output numbers (Y)

When using the same instruction for high speed counter repeatedly or when driving two or more other
instructions for high speed counter at the same time, specify such output devices (Y) whose high-order two
digits are the same (in units of 8 devices).
1) When using devices of the same number (in units of 8 devices)
Example: When using Y000, specify Y000 to Y007. When using Y010, specify Y010 to Y017.
2) When using two or more instructions for high speed counter and non-consecutive output (Y) numbers
A program example is shown below:
M8000
FNC 53 K100 C255 Y000
DHSCS

FNC 53 K100 C255 Y010

DHSCS

When C255 reaches K100, the output Y000 is driven by interrupt. Y010 is driven when END processing
is executed.
If interrupt drive is required, use an output number in the range from Y001 to Y007 whose high-order two
digits are equivalent.

4. Caution on the counting operation when the current value is changed

An instruction for the high speed counter gives the comparison result when a pulse is input to the input (X) of
the high speed counter.
However, the comparison result is not given when the current value of the high speed counter is changed in
the following method:
1) Change method (examples)
a) Overwriting the contents of a word device used as the comparison value using DMOV instruction, etc.
b) Resetting the current value of a high speed counter in a program
2) Operation
Even if the condition for setting the output to ON or OFF is given as the comparison result, the
comparison result does not change when an instruction is simply driven.

5. Reset operation by an external terminal [M8025*1: HSC (external reset) mode]

For a high speed counter equipped with an external reset terminal (R) such as C241, an instruction is
executed and the comparison result is output at the rising edge of the reset input signal.
1) Program
If an instruction for the high speed counter is used while M8025*1 is driven, the instruction is executed
again when the current value of the high speed counter C241 is cleared by an external reset terminal.
And the comparison result is output even if a counting input is not given.

*1. M8025 is cleared when the PLC mode is changed from RUN to STOP.
2) Operation
When the external reset input X001 turns ON while the current value of C241 is "100", for example, the
current value of C241 is reset to "0". And Y000 is reset at this time even if a counting input is not given.

instructions for the same high speed counter
When the same comparison value is used for the same high speed counter in HSCS (FNC 53), HSCR (FNC
54), and HSZ (FNC 55) instructions, high speed counter reset (self-reset) by HSCR (FNC 54) instruction is
executed with the highest priority (as shown in the table below).
In this case, the comparison results do not change in HSCS, HSCR, and HSZ instructions whose comparison 12
value is programmed to be the same as the comparison value for self-reset by HSCR (FNC 54) instruction.

[ZCP (FNC 11) instruction]
DHSZ instruction outputs the comparison result only when a counting pulse is input. Even if the current value
of C235 is "0", Y010 remains OFF at the time of startup.
For initializing Y010, compare the current value of C235 with K1000 and K1200 and drive Y010 by DZCPP
instruction (for general zone comparison) as pulse operation only at the time of startup.
Refer to the program example shown below.

Timing chart
In the part [1] in the timing chart, Y010 remains OFF if the current value of a high speed counter (C235 in the
example below) is "0" when restoring the power.
1) For initializing Y010, the current value of C235 is compared with K1000 and K1200, and Y010 is driven
using the DZCPP instruction (for general zone comparison) as pulse operation only upon startup.
2) The comparison result in Y010 is latched until an input pulse is input and the comparison output is driven
by the DHSZ instruction.
3) According to the current value of the counter, the DHSZ instruction drives the output (A), (B) or (C).

comparison target data. the output is
required.
2) When the current value of the high speed
counter C251 is equivalent to the
comparison target data table, the output (Y) number specified in the table is set or reset.
This output processing is directly executed without regard to completion of output refresh by END
instruction.
3) "1" is added to the current value of the table counter D8130.
4) The comparison target data table is transferred to the next table.
5) The steps 2) and 3) are repeated until the current value of the table counter D8130 becomes "4".
When the current value becomes "4", the program execution returns to the step 1), and the table counter
D8130 is reset to "0".
At this time, the complete flag M8131 turns ON.
6) When the command contact is set to OFF, execution of the instruction is stopped and the table counter
D8130 is reset to "0".

Cautions
1. Limitation in the number of DHSZ instruction
This instruction can be programmed only once in a program.
With regard to the DHSCS, DHSCR, DHSZ and DHSCT instructions used for other purposes, up to 32
instructions including the DHSZ instruction can be driven at one time.

2. When the command input is set to OFF in the middle of execution

Execution of the instruction is aborted, and the table counter D8130 is reset to K0.
However, outputs which have been set or reset remain in the current status.

3. Output start timing

After the DHSZ instruction is first executed, creation of the table is completed by END instruction. After that,
the DHSZ instruction becomes valid.
Accordingly, the output is activated from the second scan.

4. Current value of a high speed counter

Make sure to execute the DHSZ instruction from a point where the current value of the high speed counter
(regarded as the operation target) is smaller than the value in the 1st line in the comparison table.

3. How to stop the pulse output

When the command input is set to OFF, the pulse generation is immediately stopped. When the command
input is set to ON again, pulse generation operation restarts from the beginning.
When the special auxiliary relays (M) shown below are set to ON, the pulse output is stopped.
Device Description
M8349 Immediately stops pulse output from Y000.
M8359 Immediately stops pulse output from Y001.

To restart pulse output, set the device (M8349 or M8359) corresponding to the output signal to OFF, and then
drive the pulse output instruction again.

Cautions

1. When a word device is specified as S1 or S2

When the value of the word device is changed while the instruction is executed, the following operation
results:
When the data in S1 is changed, the output frequency changes accordingly.
When the data in S2 is changed, the change (new value) becomes valid the next time the instruction is
driven.

2. Frequency S1
When using transistor outputs in the main unit, set the output frequency S1 to "100,000 Hz" or less.
If the load is operated using pulses at a frequency higher than 100,000 Hz, the PLC may be damaged.

3. Pulse output
Only a transistor output on the main unit or Y000 or Y001 on a special high speed output adapter*1 can be
specified in D .
When using the PLSY (FNC 57) instruction with a relay output type FX3U PLC, a special high speed output
adapter is required.
*1. Special high speed output adapters cannot be connected to the FX3UC PLC.
The duration of the ON/OFF pulses is 50% (ON = 50%, OFF = 50%).
The pulse output is controlled by the dedicated hardware not affected by the sequence program (operation
cycle).
If the command input is set to OFF during continuous pulse output, the output from D turns OFF.

Cautions
1. Setting the pulse width and period
Make sure that the pulse width S1 and period S2 satisfy the relationship " S1 S2 ".

2. Pulse output
Only the following outputs can be specified in D according to the system configuration.
- When using special high speed output adapters : Y000, Y001, Y002*2, or Y003*2
*1

- When using transistor outputs on the main unit (that is, when not using special high speed output
adapters): Y000, Y001, or Y002
*1. Special high speed output adapters cannot be connected to the FX3UC PLC.
When using the PWM (FNC 58) instruction with a relay output type FX3U PLC, a special high speed
output adapter is required.
*2. When specifying Y002 or Y003 on a special high speed output adapter, a second special high speed
output adapter is required.
The pulse output is controlled by interrupt processing not affected by the sequence program (operation
cycle).
If the command input is set to OFF, the output from D turns OFF.
While a pulse output monitor (BUSY/READY) flag is ON, a pulse output or positioning instruction for the
same output relay cannot be executed.
While a pulse output monitor flag is ON even after the instruction drive contact is set to OFF, a pulse output
or positioning instruction for the same output relay cannot be executed.
Before executing a pulse output or positioning instruction, wait until the pulse output monitor flag turns OFF
and one or more operation cycles pass.

3. Cautions on using special high speed output adapters

1) Outputs of special high speed output adapters work as differential line drivers.
2) Set the pulse output type setting switch of a special high speed output adapter to the "pulse chain +
direction" (PLSxDIR) side.
If the switch is set to the "forward rotation pulse chain reverse rotation pulse chain" (FPxRP) side, normal
operations are not possible. The pulse output destination changes depending on the output status as
shown in the table below.
Pulse output Output affecting
Operation
destination operation
While Y004 is ON, pulses are output from Y000 on the high speed output
adapter.
D = Y000 Y004
While Y004 is OFF, pulses are output from Y004 on the high speed output
adapter.
While Y005 is ON, pulses are output from Y001 on the high speed output
adapter.
D = Y001 Y005
While Y005 is OFF, pulses are output from Y005 on the high speed output
adapter.
While Y006 is ON, pulses are output from Y002 on the high speed output
adapter.
D = Y002 Y006
While Y006 is OFF, pulses are output from Y006 on the high speed output
adapter.
While Y007 is ON, pulses are output from Y003 on the high speed output
adapter.
D = Y003 Y007
While Y007 is OFF, pulses are output from Y007 on the high speed output
adapter.

3) Set the pulse output type setting switch while the PLC is stopped or while the power is OFF.
Do not adjust the pulse output type setting switch while pulses are being output.

3. How to stop the pulse output

When the command input is set to OFF, the pulse generation is immediately stopped. When the command
input is set to ON again, pulse generation operation restarts from the beginning.
When the special auxiliary relays (M) shown below are set to ON, the pulse output is stopped.
Device Description
M8349 Immediately stops pulse output from Y000.
M8359 Immediately stops pulse output from Y001.

To restart pulse output pulses again, set the device (M8349 or M8359) corresponding to the output signal to
OFF, and then drive the pulse output instruction again.

Cautions

1. Frequency S1
When using transistor outputs on the main unit, set the output frequency S1 to "100,000 Hz" or less.
If the load is operated using pulses at a frequency higher than 100,000 Hz from transistor outputs in the main
unit, the PLC may be damaged.

2. Pulse output
Only a transistor output on the main unit or Y000 or Y001 on a special high speed output adapter*1 can be
specified in D .
*1. Special high speed output adapters cannot be connected to the FX3UC PLC.
When using the PLSR (FNC 59) instruction with a relay output type FX3U PLC, a special high speed
output adapter is required.
The duration of the ON/OFF pulses is 50% (ON = 50%, OFF = 50%).
The pulse output is controlled by the dedicated hardware not affected by the sequence program (operation
cycle).
If the command input is set to OFF during continuous pulse output, the output from D turns OFF.

4. Special auxiliary relay (M) for IST instruction

Auxiliary relays (M) used in IST instruction are classified into two types. Some auxiliary relays are
automatically controlled by IST instruction itself according to the situation. Other auxiliary relays should be
controlled by a program for preparation of operation or for purpose of control.
1) Special auxiliary relays automatically controlled by IST instruction
a) M8040: STL transfer disable
When this special auxiliary relay turns ON, transfer of every state is disabled.
Individual operation mode:
M8040 is always effective.
Zero return operation mode and cycle operation mode:
When the stop button is pressed, the operation is held until the start button is pressed.
Stepping operation mode:
M8040 is always effective except when the start button is pressed. When the start button is
pressed, M8040 is not effective and transfer of states is allowed.
Others: The operation is latched when the PLC mode switches from STOP to RUN, and reset when
the start button is pressed.
Even in the transfer disabled status, the operation is held for outputs in the states.
b) M8041: Transfer start
This special auxiliary relay allows transfer from the initial state S2 to the next state.
Individual operation mode and zero return operation mode:
M8041 is not effective.
Stepping operation mode and cycle operation mode:
M8041 is effective only while the start button is pressed and held.
Continuous operation mode:
The operation is latched when the start button is pressed, and cleared when the stop button
is pressed.
c) M8042: Start pulse
M8042 is activated instantaneously only when the start button is pressed.
d) M8047: Enable STL monitoring
When IST instruction is executed, M8047 is set to ON.
When the M8047 turns ON, STL monitoring becomes valid, and state relay numbers (S0 to S899) in
the ON status are stored in turn in the ascending order of device number to the special auxiliary relays
D8040 to D8047.
Up to eight state relay numbers in the ON status can be monitored.
If either state relay is ON, the special auxiliary relay M8046 is set to ON.
2) Auxiliary relays controlled by a sequence program
For details of these controls, refer to the next page.
a) M8043: Zero return complete
Set this special auxiliary relay (M) to ON by a user program when the machine returns to the zero
point in the zero return operation mode.
b) M8044: Zero point condition
Detect the zero point condition of the machine, and drive this special auxiliary relay. This signal is
effective in every mode.
c) M8045: All output reset disable
When the mode is switched among individual operation mode, zero return operation mode and
automatic mode, all outputs and operation state relays are reset if the machine is not located at the
zero point.
If M8045 has been set to ON in advance, however, only operation state relays are reset.

1) Circuit diagram
In the sequence circuit shown below, all areas except shaded areas are standard.
Program the shaded areas according to the contents of control.
a) Initial circuit
While the machine is operating, the operation mode can be switched arbitrarily (among stepping 12
operation, cycle operation and continuous operation) in the automatic mode.

Data Operation
FNC40-FNC49
When the operation mode is switched between the individual operation mode, zero return operation
mode and automatic mode while the machine is operating, all outputs are reset once to assure safety,
after which the following mode becomes valid.
(While M8045 (All output reset disable) is ON, outputs are not reset at all.)

Cautions
1. Specifying a high speed counter (C235 to C255)
In DABSD instruction, a high seed counter can be specified as S D21 .
In this case, however, the output pattern contains response delay caused by the scan cycle with regard to the
current value of a counter.
When high responsibility is required, use the table high speed comparison function offered by HSZ
instruction, or use HSCT instruction.

2. When specifying digits of a bit device as S

D1
1) Device number
Specify a multiple of 16 (0, 16, 32, 64 ...).
2) Number of digits
- In ABSD instruction (16-bit operation): Only K4 is available.
- In DABSD instruction (32-bit operation): Only K8 is available.

3. Other cautions
The value "n" determines the number of target outputs (1 n 64).
Even if the command input is set to OFF, the ON/OFF status of outputs does not change.

instruction, or use a pulse operation type command contact such as LDP.

Program examples
1. Start and stop by one input
1) When the pushbutton switch X000 is pressed, the start output Y001 is set to ON.
2) When the pushbutton switch X000 is pressed again, the stop output Y000 is set to ON.

2. Flicker operation
1) When the input X006 is set to ON, the contact of the timer T2 turns ON instantaneously every 5 seconds.
2) Every time the contact of T2 turns ON, the output Y007 is set to ON or OFF alternately.

3. Alternating output operation using auxiliary relays (M) (operation equivalent to ALT
instruction)
The circuit below is provided as an example of alternating operation using basic instructions and auxiliary
relays (M) which is equivalent to ALT instruction.
1) When X000 is set to ON, M0 turns ON and remains ON for only one operation cycle.
2) When M0 turns ON for the first time, Y000 is latched. When M0 turns ON the second time, Y000
becomes unlatched.

15.5.1 How to select a seven-segment display unit

When selecting a seven-segment display unit based on its electrical characteristics, refer to the manual
below:
For the wiring, refer to the Hardware Edition of the used PLC.

1. Points to be checked for the seven-segment specifications

1) Whether the input voltage and current characteristics of the data input and strobe signal satisfy the output
specifications of the PLC.
- Whether the input signal voltage (Lo) is approximately 1.5 V or less
- Whether the input voltage is from 5V DC to 30V DC
2) Whether the seven-segment display unit has the BCD decoding and latch functions

15.5.2 How to select parameter "n" based on seven-segment display specifications

The value set to the parameter "n" varies depending on the signal logic of the seven-segment display. Select
"n" as described below.
The check column is provided at the bottom of the table. Check a corresponding type of logic (positive or
negative), and utilize it for parameter setting.

1. Role of the parameter "n"

The parameter "n" should be determined according to the data input logic (positive or negative) of the seven-
segment display unit, the logic (positive or negative) of the strobe signal and the number of sets of 4 digits to
be controlled (1 or 2).

2. Checking the output logic of the PLC

Transistor outputs in PLCs are classified into the sink output type and source output type. The table below
shows the specifications for each type.

4) Operation of the switches for changing data in each digit ( S and S +1)
In a digit specified by a digit selection switch described above, data is changed as follows:
- When the increment input turns ON
Every time the increment switch is pressed, the contents of D1 change in the way "0 1 2 ...
8 9 0 1".
- When the decrement input turns ON
Every time the decrement switch is pressed, the contents of D1 change in the way "0 9 8 7
... 1 0 9".
The contents can be displayed in the seven-segment display unit.
As described above, a target numeric value can be written to D1 using a series of operation while
looking at the seven-segment display unit.

Cautions
1. Setting of the parameter "n"
Refer to the explanation of parameter setting in SEGL (FNC 74) instruction. The setting range is from 0 to 3
for ARWS instruction.
For the parameter setting, refer to Subsection 15.5.2.

2. Output type of the PLC

Use a transistor output type PLC.

3. Scan time (operation cycle) and the display timing

ARWS instruction is executed in synchronization with the scan time (operation cycle) of the PLC.
For achieving a series of display, the scan time of the PLC should be 10 ms or more.
If the scan time is less than 10 ms, use the constant scan mode so that the scan time exceeds 10 ms.

4. Number of occupied devices

1) Four input devices are occupied starting from S .
2) Eight output devices are occupied starting from D2 .

5. Limitation in the number of the instruction

ARWS instruction can be used only once in a program.
When ARWS instruction should be used two or more times, use the indexing (V, Z) function.

1. 16-byte serial output
Depending on the ON/OFF status of the special auxiliary relay M8027, the number of characters output by
one-time execution of the instruction varies.
While M8027 is OFF, 8-byte serial output (fixed to 8 characters) is executed. While M8027 is ON, 16-byte
serial output (1 to 16 characters) is executed.
In the example shown below, up to 16 characters (1 character/byte) are output to the display unit (external
display unit A6FD, for example).
It is supposed that data to be displayed is stored in hexadecimal codes in D300 to D307.

Acceptance of interrupts while FROM/TO instruction is executed (M8028)

1. While M8028 is OFF
While a FROM/TO instruction is being executed, interrupts are automatically disabled. Input interrupts and
timer interrupts are not executed.
Interrupts generated during the execution of FROM/TO instructions are immediately executed after the
FROM/TO instruction completes.
FROM/TO instructions can be used in interrupt programs.

2. While M8028 is ON
When an interrupt is generated during the execution of a FROM/TO instruction, the FROM/TO operation is
momentarily paused while the interrupt program executes. FROM/TO instructions cannot be used in interrupt
programs.

Action against watchdog timer error

1. Cause of watchdog timer error
A watchdog timer error may occur in the following cases:
1) When many special extension equipment is connected
When many special extension equipment (such as positioning units, cam switches, link units and analog
units) are connected, considerable time may be required to initialize buffer memories when the PLC
mode is set to RUN, the operation time may be long, and a watchdog timer error may occur.
2) When many FROM/TO instructions are driven at the same time
When many FROM/TO instructions are driven at the same time or when many buffer memories are
transferred, the operation time may be long, and a watchdog timer error may occur.

2. Countermeasures
1) Using RBFM (FNC278) or WBFM (FNC279) instruction [Ver.2.20 or later]

For divided BFM read [RBFM (FNC278) instruction], refer to Section 31.1.
For divided BFM write [WBFM (FNC279) instruction], refer to Section 31.2.
2) Changing the watchdog timer time
By overwriting the contents of D8000 (watchdog timer time), the watchdog timer detection time can be
changed.
When the program shown below is input, the sequence program after the input will be monitored with the
new watchdog timer time.
M8002

0
MOV
Initial pulse
Watchdog timer refresh
FNC 07 If WDT (FNC 07) instruction is not programmed, the value of
WDT D8000 is valid during END processing.

3) Changing FROM/TO instruction execution timing

Shift FROM/TO instruction execution timing to make the operation time shorter.

Handling of special extension units/blocks

For the special extension unit/block connection method, number of connectable special extension units/
blocks and handling of I/O numbers, refer to the manuals of the PLC and each special extension unit/block.

Cautions
1. When using two or more PID instructions
Two or more PID instructions can be executed at the same time. (There is no limitation in the number of
loops.) However, make sure that S3 , D and other operands specified in each instruction are different
to each other.

2. Number of devices occupied for parameters starting from S3

1) In the limit cycle method
- Twenty-nine devices are occupied from the head device specified in S3 .
2) In the step response method
- Operation setting (ACT): When bits 1, 2 and 5 are not all "0"
Twenty-five devices are occupied from the head device specified in S3 .
- Operation setting (ACT): When bits 1, 2 and 5 are all "0"
Twenty devices are occupied from the head device specified in S3 .

3. When specifying a device in the latch area backed up by the battery

For the output value (MV) in PID instruction, specify a data register (D) in the non-latch area.
(When specifying a data register in the latch area, make sure to clear the latched (battery backed) contents
when the PLC mode is set to RUN using the following program.)
Program example
M8002
RST D***
Initial pulse

Data register number in the latch area specified in D

Error
When an operation error occurs, the special auxiliary relay M8067 turns ON, and the error code is stored in
the special data register D8067.
For the error code, refer to Section 37.4.

1) The contents of the index registers V0 to V7 and Z0 to Z7 are batch-stored temporarily to D and later.
When the contents of index registers are batch-stored, the number of times of batch-storage D is
incremented by "1".
2) For restoring the batch-stored data, use ZPOP (FNC103) instruction.
Use ZPUSH (FNC102) and ZPOP (FNC103) instruction as a pair.
3) By specifying a same device to D , ZPUSH (FNC102) and ZPOP (FNC103) instructions can be used
in the nest structure.
In this case, the occupied points are added by "16" after D every time ZPUSH (FNC102) instruction is
executed. Secure in advance sufficient area for the number of the next structure.

In floating point operations, all data is handled in binary floating point.
Because binary floating point is difficult to understand (requiring a dedicated monitoring method), it is
converted into scientific notation so that monitoring can be easily executed by peripheral equipment.

Instruction Description
Check code
CCD (FNC 84)
Calculates the sum of 16-bit data in units of byte (8 bits) and the horizontal parity.

Caution
In the 32-bit operation, the acquired sum is 64-bit data. FX3U and FX3UC PLCs cannot handle 64-bit data.
When the sum is within the numeric range of 32-bit data (K-2,147,483,648 to K2,147,483,647), however,
FX3U and FX3UC PLCs can handle the low-order 32 bits of 32-bit data as the sum while ignoring the high-
order 32 bits.

Errors
An operation error is caused in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is
stored in D8067.
When "n" points starting from S are outside the specified device range (error code: K6706)
When "n" is smaller than or equivalent to "0" (error code: K6706)
When D are outside the specified device range. (error code: K6706)

24.4 FNC188 CRC / Cyclic Redundancy Check

Outline
This CRC instruction calculates the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) value which is an error check method
used in communication.
In addition to CRC value, there are other error check methods such as parity check and sum check. For
obtaining the horizontal parity value and sum check value, CCD (FNC 84) instruction is available.
CRC instruction uses X16 + X15 + X2 + 1 as a polynomial for generating the CRC value (CRC-16).
For CCD instruction (check code), refer to Section 16.5.

2. High speed counter current value update timing and the effect of DHCMOV instruction

Control
Real Time Clock
FNC160-FNC169
1) High speed counter current value update timing
When a pulse is input to an input terminal for a high speed counter (C235 to C255), the high speed
counter executes up-counting or down-counting.
If the current value of a high speed counter is handled in an applied instruction such as the normal MOV
instruction, the current value is updated at the timing shown in the table below. As a result, it is affected 22
by the program scan time.

External Device
FNC170-FNC179
Current value update timing
Hardware counter When OUT instruction for the counter is executed
Software counter Every time a pulse is input

By using DHCMOV instruction, the current value can be updated and transferred when it is executed. 23
2) Effect of DHCMOV instruction

Instructions
Alternate
FNC180
By using both input interrupt and DHCMOV instruction, the current value of a high speed counter can
be received at the rising edge or falling edge of an external input (at reception of input interrupt).
Refer to the Program example 2.
When DHCMOV instruction is used just before a comparison instruction (CMP, ZCP or comparison
contact instruction), the latest value of a high speed counter is used in comparison.The following points 24
must be kept in mind when using the DHCMOV command.

Others
FNC181-FNC189
- When the current value of a high speed counter is compared using CMP, ZCP or comparison
contact instruction (not using a designated high speed counter comparison instruction), a hardware
counter does not change into a software counter.
For the condition in which a hardware counter is handled as a software counter,
refer to Subsection 4.7.9. 25
- When the number of high speed software counter comparison instructions is reduced, the total

Operation
Block Data
FNC190-FNC199
frequency limitation is decreased.
For the limitation in software counters by the total frequency,
refer to Subsection 4.7.10.
- When it is necessary to execute comparison and change an output contact (Y) as soon as the
current value of a high speed counter changes, use a desighnated high speed counter comparison 26
instruction (HSCS, HSCR or HSZ).

Cautions
When programming DHCMOV instruction in an input interrupt program, the following points should be
observed.
For assignment of pointers for input interrupt and inputs, refer to the table shown in 5) below.
1) Program EI (FNC 04) and FEND (FNC 06) instructions in the main program. They are necessary to
execute an input interrupt program.
For EI (FNC 04) and FEND (FNC 06) instructions, refer to Section 8.5 and Section 8.6.
2) When programming DHCMOV instruction in the 1st line in an input interrupt program, make sure to use
the pattern program shown below.
Make sure to use the command contact M8394.

FNC189 S D n DHCMOV instruction in an interrupt

FNC 03
IRET

3) If two or more DHCMOV instructions are used in one input interrupt program, only the first instruction (just
after the interrupt pointer) is executed when the interrupt is generated.
The rest of the interrupt, including additional DHCMOV instructions, is executed according to normal
interrupt processing.
Do not use M8394 as the command contact for the DHCMOV instructions following the first.

4) It is not permitted to use DHCMOV instruction for the same counter in two or more input interrupt
programs.

When extracting characters from a character string including character codes in which 2 bytes express 1
character such as shift JIS codes, consider the number of characters to be extracted in units of character
codes for 1 character.
Note that the expected character code is not given if only 1 byte is executed out of a 2-byte character code.

" S2 +1" characters are extracted leftward from the position specified by S2 of the character string data
stored in S1 and later, and stored to D and later.
When characters are extracted from a character string, "00H" is automatically added at the end of the
extracted characters.
- When the number of extracted characters specified by S2 +1 is odd, "00H" is stored in the high-order
byte of a device storing the last character.
- When the number of extracted characters specified by S2 +1 is even, "0000H" is stored in the device
after the last character.

Cautions
This instruction can handle character codes other than ASCII codes, but please note the following:
The number of characters is handled in byte units (8 bits). Accordingly, in the case of character codes in
which 2 bytes express 1 character such as shift JIS code, the length of 1 character is regarded as 2
characters.
When overwriting a character string including character codes in which 2 bytes express 1 character such
as shift JIS codes, consider the number of characters to be extracted in units of character codes for 1
character.
Note that the expected character code is not given if only 1 byte is overwritten out of a 2-byte character
code.

Errors
An operation error is caused in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is
stored in D8067.
When 00H is not set within the corresponding device range after a device specified by S1 or D
(error code: K6706)

When the number of characters specified by S2 +1 exceeds the number of characters specified by
S1 (error code: K6706)

Programming Manual - Basic & Applied Instruction Edition 28.1 FNC224~230 LD =, >, <, <>, <=, >= / Data Comparison

Explanation of function and operation

FNC224 to FNC230 are data comparison instructions connected to bus lines.
The contents of S1 are compared with the contents of S2 in the binary format, and a contact becomes
conductive (ON) or non-conductive (OFF) depending on the comparison result.

228 LD<> LDD<> S1 S2 S1 = S2
229 LD<= LDD<= S1 <= S2 S1 > S2
230 LD>= LDD>= S1 >= S2 S1 < S2

Cautions
1. Negative value
When the most significant bit is "1" in the data stored in S1 or S2 , it is regarded as a negative value in
comparison.
In the 16-bit operation: bit 15
In the 32-bit operation: bit 31

2. When using 32-bit counters (including 32-bit high speed counters)

Make sure to execute the 32-bit operation (such as "LDD=", "LDD>" and "LDD<") when comparing 32-bit
counters (C200 to C255).
If a 32-bit counter is specified in the 16-bit operation (such as "LD=", "LD>" and "LD<"), a program error or
operation error will occur.

3. Programming of data comparison instructions

When programming in GX Developer, symbols "" and "" cannot be input.
Separate "" into "<" and "=", and separate "" into ">" and "=" in input.
The input procedure is described below:

Operating procedure
a) Display the circuit program edit window, and put the cursor in a position where a data comparison
instruction is to be used.
b) Input "Instruction" "space" "value or device" "space" "value or device".
For an input example, refer to "Instruction input window in GX Developer" shown below.
c) Click the [OK] button.
d) Input other contacts and coil drive units consecutively.

FNC160-FNC169
FNC232 to FNC237 are data comparison instructions connected to other contacts in series.
The contents of S1 are compared with the contents of S2 in binary format, and a contact becomes
conductive (ON) or non-conductive (OFF) depending on the comparison result.

Caution
When the output value overflows, it is handled as follows:
- In the 16-bit operation
The output value is a 16-bit binary value with sign. Accordingly, if the operation result is outside the
range from -32768 to +32767, it is handled as follows:

Lower limit value of dead band S1 = 10 Output value = -32768-10

= 8000H-AH
Input value S3 = -32768 = 7FF6H
= 32758

- In the 32-bit operation

The output value is a 32-bit binary value with sign. Accordingly, if the operation result is outside the
range from -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647, it is handled as follows:

Lower limit value of dead band [ S1 +1, S1 ] = 1000 Output value = -2,147,483,648-1000
= 80000000H-000003E8H
Input value [ S3 +1, S3 ] = -2,147,483,648 = 7FFFFC18H
= 2,147,482,648

Errors
An operation error is caused in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is
stored in D8067.
When the Xn data is not set in the ascending order in the data table (error code: K6706)
The data table is searched from the low-order side of device numbers in the data table in the operation.
Accordingly, even if only some Xn data is set in the ascending order in the data table, the instruction is
executed without operation error up to the area of the data table in which the Xn data is set in the
ascending order.
When S1 is outside the data table (error code: K6706)
When the value exceeds the 32-bit data range in the middle of operation (error code: K6706)
In this case, check whether the distance between points is not 65535 or more.
If the distance is 65535 or more, reduce the distance between points.

2) The numeric range of data stored in S to S +2 is from -32768 to +32767.

3) As "sign data" (low-order byte of S ), "20H (space)" is set when the data to be converted is positive,
and "2DH (-)" is set when the data to be converted is negative.
4) An ASCII code for each digit is within the range from 30H to 39H.
5) When an ASCII code for each digit is "20H (space)" or "00H (null)", it is handled as "30H".

Cautions
This instruction can be executed only once in a program.
If this instruction is programmed two or more times, an operation error is caused by the second instruction
and later, and the instruction will not be executed. (error code: K6765)
This instruction constructs the data table at the END instruction of the first execution of the instruction.
Accordingly, the operation output works after the second scan and later.
With regard to DHSCT (FNC280), DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54) and DHSZ (FNC 55) instructions,
up to 32 instructions can be executed in one operation cycle. An operation error is caused by the 33rd
instruction and later, and the instruction will not be executed. (error code: K6705)
If an output (Y) is specified in D , the output processing is executed immediately without waiting for the
output refresh executed by END instruction.
When specifying an output (Y), make sure that the least significant digit of the device number is 0.
Examples: Y000, Y010 and Y020
When a high speed counter specified in S2 is indexed with index, all high speed counters are handled
as software counters.
For this instruction, only one comparison point (one line) is handled as the comparison target at one time.
Processing will not move to the next comparison point until the current counter value becomes equivalent
to the comparison point currently selected as the comparison target.
If the current value of a high speed counter executes up counting using the comparison data table shown
in the operation example on the previous page, make sure to execute the instruction while the current
value of the high speed counter is smaller than the comparison value in comparison point No. 1.
When the DHSCT instruction is used with a hardware counter (C235, C236, C237, C238, C239, C240,
C244 (OP), C245 (OP), C246, C248 (OP), C251, C253), the hardware counter is automatically switched to
a software counter, and the maximum frequency and total frequency are affected.

Errors
An operation error occurs in the following cases; The error flag M8067 turns ON, and the error code is stored
in D8067.
When any devices other than high speed counters C235 to C255 are specified in S2 (error code: K6706)
When the 3m-1th device from a device specified in S1 exceeds the last number of the device (error
code: K6706)
When the nth device from a device specified in D exceeds the last number of the device (error code:
K6706)
When this instruction is used two or more times in a program (error code: K6765)
With regard to DHSCT (FNC280), DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54) and DHSZ (FNC 55) instructions,
up to 32 instructions can be executed in one operation cycle. An operation error is caused by the 33rd
instruction and later, and the instruction will not be executed. (error code: K6705)

Instruction execution In a program, however, there may be two or more instructions which can use the
M8029
complete flag flag M8029. To avoid confusion, make sure to use the NO contact of this flag
immediately under SAVER instruction so that this flag works only for SAVER
instruction.

Cautions
1. Cautions on writing data to a memory cassette
Memory cassettes adopt flash memory. Note the following contents when writing data to extension file
registers in a memory cassette with the FNC291 instruction.
It takes about 340ms to write 2048 points. If n is set to K0 or K2048, the operation cycle for executing this
instruction becomes longer than about 340ms.
If the operation cycle is severely affected, write data in two or more operation cycles.
When writing data in two or more operation cycles, set n in the range from K1 to K1024.

When logging should be executed only once by one input, use the pulse operation type.
Caution on using a memory cassette
Flash memory is adopted in a memory cassette. Make sure to initialize the data storage area in units of
sector before starting logging. 32

FNC290-FNC299
Sequence control using the SFC (sequential function chart) is available in FX PLCs.
In SFC programs, the role of each process and the overall control flow can be expressed easily based on
machine operations, so sequence design is easy. Accordingly, machine operations can be easily transmitted
to any person, and created programs are efficient in maintenance, specifications changes and actions against
problems. 34
When SFC programs and step ladder instructions are programmed conforming to the same rules, they are

Programming
SFCSTL
compatible with each other.
As a result, the same contents can be handled in relay ladder charts which are familiar and easy to
understand.

34.1.2 Explanation of function and operation 35

Function
Interrupt
In SFC programs, a state relay State S is regarded as one control process, and the input conditions and
output control sequence are programmed in each process.
Because the preceding process is stopped when the program execution proceeds to the next process, a
machine can be controlled using simple sequences for each process.

Operation of state relay State S and driven instruction

36

Special Device
In SFC programs, each process performed by the machine is expressed by a state relay.
When a state relay turns ON, a connected circuit (internal circuit) is activated.
When a state relay turns OFF, a connected internal circuit is deactivated.
After one operation cycle, non-driving of an instruction (jump status) is not available.
When a condition (transfer condition) provided between state relays is satisfied, the next state relay turns 37
ON, and the state relay which has been ON so far turns OFF (transfer operation).

Error Code
In the state relay ON status transfer process, both state relays are ON only momentarily (for one operation
cycle).
In the next operation cycle after the ON status is transferred to the next state relay, the former state is reset
to OFF.
When the transfer state relay S is used in a contact instruction, however, the contact image is executed in
the OFF status immediately after the transfer condition is satisfied.

ON, the truck immediately starts to move backward.
(The limit switch LS1 is normally OFF, and turns ON when the truck reaches the forward limit. Other limit
switches function in the same way.)
2) When the truck moves backward and the limit switch LS2 turns ON, the truck stops for 5 seconds, and
then starts to move forward again. When the limit switch LS3 turns ON, the truck immediately starts to
move backward.
3) When LS2 turns ON after that, the truck driving motor stops.
4) When the start pushbutton switch is pressed again after a series of operations finish, the above operation
is repeated.

34.1.4 Handling and role of initial state relay

Handling of the initial state relay

A state relay located at the head of an SFC program is the initial state relay. Only state relays S0 to S9 are
available.
The initial state relay is driven by way of another state relay (S24 in the example shown below). But it is
necessary to drive the initial state relay in advance by another measure at the start of operation.
In the example shown below, the initial state relay is driven by the special auxiliary relay M8002 which
turns ON and remains ON only momentarily when the PLC mode is changed from STOP to RUN.
General state relays other than initial state relays should be driven by another state relay. They cannot be
driven by any other device.
The state relay which may be driven by a contact other than the STL instruction is there by defined as the
initial state relay, and should be described at the top of the flow.

Role of the initial state relay

1. Used as an identification device for inverse conversion
In inverse conversion from an instruction list into an SFC program, it is necessary to identify the top of the
flow. For this purpose, use the initial state relay S0 to S9.
If any other state relay number is used, inverse conversion is disabled.
Program the STL instruction for the initial state relay before the STL instructions for subsequment state
relays. Program the RET instruction at the end.
By this programming method, if there are two or more independent flows, they the separated from each
other.

2. Used to prevent double start

In the above example, even if the start button is pressed while the state relay S24 is ON, the command is
invalid (S0 does not turn ON).
As a result, double start is prevented.

34.1.6 Role of RET instruction

Use RET instruction at the end of an SFC program.

When inputting an SFC program using GX Developer, however, it is not necessary to input RET instruction
(because RET instruction is automatically written). 33
In a PLC, two or more SFC blocks can be put between step 0 and the END instruction.

Use this relay to prevent simultaneous start up of another float or as process ON/OFF flag.
When this relay is driven, the device number of a state relay in the ON status having the
smallest device number among S0 to S899 and S1000 to S4095 is stored to D8040, and the
state relay number in the ON status having the next smallest device number is stored to D8041.
In this way, up to eight state relays in the ON status are stored up to D8047.

Caution on using a rising/falling edge detection contact

When a rising/falling detection contact in LDP, LDF, ANDP, ANDF, ORP or ORF instruction is used in a state
relay, the contact whose status was changed while the state relay was OFF is detected when the state relay
turns ON the next time.
When it is necessary to immediately detect the rising edge or falling edge for a condition which may change
while a state relay is OFF, change the program as shown below:

S3 X013
M6

X013 X014
SET S70 M7

X014 S3

Change M6
SET S70
M7

When the ON status is transferred to S70 at the falling edge of X013 and then X014 turns OFF after that, the
falling edge of X014 is not detected at this point because S3 is OFF. When S3 turns ON the next time, the
falling edge of X014 is detected.
Accordingly, when S3 turns ON the next time, the ON status is immediately transferred to S70.

When creating an SFC program having two or more initial state relays, separate the blocks for each initial
state relay.
The ON status can be transferred among SFC programs created by block separation (jump to a different flow).
A state relay in a program created in a different block can be used as a contact for the internal circuit or transfer

Data
FNC275-FNC279
The single flow format is the fundamental style in process transfer control. Only single flow is sufficient in
sequence control for simple operations. When various input conditions and operator manipulations intervene,
however, complicated conditions can be easily handled by using selective branches and parallel branches.
A branch for selectively processing many processes depending on a condition is called selective branch. A
branch for processing many processes at the same time is called translational branch. 32

The concept of program creation and the types and operations of state relays are the same as for SFC

be handled as familiar relay ladder charts even though the actual contents are the same as those of SFC

This section explains the expressions and cautions of step ladder programs in comparison with SFC
programs, and the input order in the list format.

34.2.2 Explanation of function and operation 34

Programming
SFCSTL
In a step ladder program, a state relay State S is regarded as one control process, and a sequence of input
condition and output control are programmed in a state relay.
Because the preceding process is not performed any more when the program execution proceeds to the next
process, a machine can be controlled using simple sequences for each process.

Operation of step ladder instructions

35

Function
Interrupt
In a step ladder program, each process performed by the machine is expressed by a state relay.
A state relay consists of a drive coil and contact (STL contact) in the same way as other relays.
Use SET or OUT instruction to drive a coil, and use STL instruction for a contact.
When a state relay turns ON, a connected circuit (internal circuit) is activated by way of an STL contact.
When a state relay turns OFF, a connected internal circuit is deactivated by way of an STL contact. 36
After one operation cycle, non-driving of an instruction (jump status) is not available.

Special Device
When a condition (transfer condition) provided between state relays is satisfied, the next state relay turns
ON, and the state relay which has been ON so far turns OFF (transfer operation).
In the state relay ON status transfer process, the both state relays are ON only instantaneously (during one
operation cycle).
In the next operation cycle after the ON status was transferred, the former state is reset to OFF.
When the transfer state relay S is used in a contact instruction, however, the contact image is executed in

One state relay number can be used only once.

State relay transfer method

Each OUT and SET instructions in state relays automatically resets the transfer source, and has the self-
holding function.
OUT instructions can be used only for transfer to a separate state relay in an SFC program.

Replacing  and V
Replace the symbol  used in SFC programs to express repeat, jump or transfer to a state relay in another
separate flow with the OUT instruction.
Replace the symbol V (used to express reset of a state relay) with the RST instruction.

2. Example of selective recombination

Do not use MPS, MRD, MPP, ANB and ORB instructions in a transfer processing program with branches and
recombination.
Even in a load driving circuit, MPS instructions cannot be used immediately after STL instructions.
Pay attention to the programming order so that a branch line does not cross a recombination line.

Before recombination, first program the drive processing of state relays.

After that, program only the transfer processing to recombination state relays.
This rule should be observed to enable inverse conversion into an SFC program.

5. Composition of branches and recombination

When a recombination line is directly connected to a branch line (not by way of a state relay as shown below),
it is recommended to provide a dummy state relay between the lines.
Create step ladder programs as shown below.
