Outline of Operation Processings

1.1 Outline of Operation Processings

This section outlines processings performed from when the inverter is powered on
until a sequence program is executed.
The built-in PLC function processings are roughly classified into the following three
types.
(1) Initial processing
Pre-processing for executing sequence operation. This processing is executed
only once when power is switched on or a reset is performed.
(a) The inputs/outputs are reset and initialized.
(b) The data memories are initialized (the bit devices are turned off and the word
devices are cleared to 0).
(c) Self-diagnostic checks are made on the built-in PLC function parameter
setting, operation circuit, etc.
REMARKS
The built-in PLC function parameters can be confirmed from GX Developer. (Refer
to the GX Developer Operating Manual.)
For the setting list of built-in PLC function parameter, refer to the instruction manual
of the FR-C500 series.

(2) Sequence program operation processing

The sequence program written to the built-in PLC function is executed from step 0
to an END instruction.
(3) END processing
Post-processing for terminating one sequence program operation processing and
return the sequence program execution to step 0.
(a) Self-diagnostic checks are performed.
(b) The present values of the timers are updated and their contacts are turned
on/off, and the present values of the counters are updated and their contacts
are turned on.

RUN and STOP Operation Processings

1.2 RUN and STOP Operation Processings

The built-in PLC function has two different operation statuses: RUN status and STOP
status.
This section explains the operation processings of the built-in PLC function in each
operating status.
(1) Operation processing in RUN status
A RUN status indicates that a sequence program repeats its operation in order of
step 0 to END (FEND) instruction to step 0 when SQ-SD are shorted. (P.RUN is on)
When entering the RUN status, the function outputs the output status saved at STOP
according to the "STOP to (RUN-time output mode setting" (refer to page 41).
(2) Operation processing in STOP status
A STOP status indicates that a sequence program stops its operation when SQ-
SD are opened or remote STOP is commanded. (P.RUN is off)
When entering the STOP status, the function saves the output status and turns
off all outputs. The contents of the data memories other than the outputs (Y) are
maintained.
POINT
In either the RUN or STOP status, the built-in PLC function is performing I/O refresh
processings. In the STOP status, therefore, I/O monitoring and test operation can be
performed from the peripheral device.

1.3 Program Makeup

(1) Program classification
The program that can be used by the built-in PLC function is a main sequence
program only. Microcomputer, interrupt and SFC programs cannot be used.
(2) Program capacity
A program capacity indicates the capacity of the program storage memory, and it
is 1k steps. Set the program capacity in the built-in PLC function parameter.

Programming Languages

2.1 Programming Languages

The built-in PLC function has two different programming methods: one that uses
ladders and the other that uses dedicated instructions.
• Programming that uses ladders is performed in the relay symbolic language. *1
• Programming that uses dedicated instructions is performed in the logic symbolic
language. *2
Whether the relay symbolic language or logic symbolic language is used, the same
program is created.

REMARKS
*1. When using GX Developer for programming, perform programming in the "ladder mode".
*2. When using GX Developer for programming, perform programming in the "list mode".

2.1.1 Relay symbolic language (Ladder mode)

The relay symbolic language is based on the concept of a relay control circuit.
You can perform programming in the representation close to the sequence circuit of
relay control.
(1) Ladder block
A ladder block is the minimum unit for performing sequence program operation. It
starts with the left hand side vertical bus and ends with the right hand side vertical
bus.

(2) Sequence program operation method

Sequence program operation repeats execution from a ladder block at step 0 to
an END instruction.
In a single ladder block, operation is performed from the left hand side vertical
bus to the right, and from the top to the bottom.

2.1.2 Logic symbolic language (List mode)

The logic symbolic language uses dedicated instructions for programming contacts,
coils, etc. instead of their symbols used by the relay symbolic language.
(1) Program operation method
Sequence program operation is executed from an instruction at step 0 to an END
instruction in due order. When the END instruction is executed, operation is
executed from the instruction at step 0 again.

 Operation Processing Method of PLC Function

2.2 Operation Processing Method of PLC Function

The operation processing method is the repeated operation of a stored program.
(1) Stored program system
1) In a stored program system, a sequence program to be operated is stored in
the internal memory beforehand.
2) When sequence program operation is executed, the sequence program stored
in the built-in PLC function is read to the CPU instruction by instruction to
execute the operation, and the corresponding devices are controlled according
to the results.
(2) Repeated operation system
In a repeated operation system, a sequence of operations is repeated.
The built-in PLC function repeats the following processings.

SEQUENCE PROGRAM LANGUAGES AND OPERATIONS

1) The built-in PLC function executes the sequence program stored in the
internal memory from step 0 in due order.
2) When the END instruction is executed, internal processings, such as timer/
counter present value updating and self-diagnostic checks, are performed, and
the execution returns to step 0 of the sequence program again.

Fig 2.4 Operation Processing Method of Built-in PLC Function

REMARKS
A processing from step 0 to next step 0 or from END to next END is called one scan.
Therefore, one scan is the sum of the processing time of a user-created program (step 0 to
END) and the internal processing time of the built-in PLC function.

I/O Processing Method

2.3 I/O Processing Method

The control system is a refresh system.
2.3.1 What is refresh system?
In the refresh system, control input terminal changes are batch-imported into the input
data memory of the CPU before execution of each scan, and the data of this input data
memory are used as the input data for operation execution.
Each program operation result of the output (Y) is output to the output data memory,
and after the END instruction is executed, the contents of the output data memory are
batch-output from the control output terminal.

• Input refresh
Before execution of step 0, input data are batch-read from the input module (1))
and stored into the input (X) data memory.
• Output refresh
Before execution of step 0, the data of the output (Y) data memory (2)) are batch-
output to the output module.
• When input contact instruction is executed
Input data are read from the input (X) data memory (3)) and the sequence
program is executed.
• When output contact instruction is executed
Output data are read from the output (Y) data memory (4)) and the sequence
program is executed.
• When output OUT instruction is executed
The operation result (5) of the sequence program is stored into the output (Y) data
memory.

 I/O Processing Method

2.3.2 Response delay in refresh system

This section describes a delay of an output change in response to an input change.
An output change in response to an input change has a delay of up to two scans as
shown in Fig. 2.6.

The Y1E output turns on earliest when the control input terminal turns from OFF to
ON immediately before a refresh. X5 turns on at an input refresh, Y1E turns on at
step 0, and the control output terminal turns on at an output refresh after execution of
the END instruction.
In this case, therefore, a delay of a control output terminal change in response to a
control input terminal change is one scan.

step 0, and the control output terminal turns on at an output refresh after execution of
the END instruction.
In this case, therefore, a delay of a control output terminal change in response to a
control input terminal change is two scans.

Scan Time

2.4 Scan Time

(1) Scan time
A scan time is a time from when sequence program operation is executed from
step 0 until step 0 is executed again.
The scan time of each scan is not equal, and changes depending on whether the
used instructions are executed or not.

(2) Scan time confirmation
(a)The scan time from the END instruction to the next END instruction is timed in
the PLC, and stored into the special registers D9017 to D9019 in units of
10ms.
1) Data stored into special registers D9017 to D9019
• D9017............ Minimum value of scan time
• D9018............ Present value of scan time
• D9019............ Maximum value of scan time

2) Scan time accuracy

The accuracy of the scan time observed in the PLC is 10ms.
For example, when the D9018 data is 5, the actual scan time is 40ms to
60ms.

 Num erical Values Usable in Sequence Program

2.5 Numerical Values Usable in Sequence Program

The built-in PLC function represents numerical values, alphabets and other data in two
statuses: 0 (OFF) and 1 (ON).
The data represented by these 0s and 1s are called BIN (binary code).
The built-in PLC function can also use HEX (hexadecimal code) that represents BIN
data in blocks of four bits.
Table 2.1 indicates the numerical representations of BIN, HEX and decimal code.

2.5.1 BIN (Binary Code)

(1) Binary code
BIN is a numerical value represented by 0s (OFF) and 1s (ON).
In the decimal code, a number is incremented from 0 to 9, and at this point, a
carry occurs and the number is incremented to 10.
In BIN, 0, 1 are followed by a carry, and the number is incremented to 10 (2 in
decimal).
Table 2.2 indicates the numerical representations of BIN and decimal code.

(2) Numerical representation of BIN
1) Each register (e.g. data register) of the built-in PLC function consist of 16 bits.
Each bit of the register is assigned a 2n value.
However, the most significant bit is used to judge whether the value is positive
or negative.
• Most significant bit is 0 ..... Positive
• Most significant bit is 1 ..... Negative
The numerical representation of each register of the built-in PLC function is
shown in Fig. 2.8.

In the numerical representation shown in Fig. 2.8, values can be represented in

14
 Num erical Values Usable in Sequence Program

the range -32768 to 32767.

Therefore, each register of the built-in PLC function can store any value
between -32768 and 32767.

2.5.2 HEX (HEX Decimal)

(1) HEX
HEX represents four bits of BIN data as one digit.
Using four bits in BIN, you can represent 16 values from 0 to 15.
Since HEX represents any of 0 to 15 in a single digit, 9 is followed by alphabets A
(instead of 10), B (11)..., and F (15) is followed by a carry.
Refer to page 13 for the correspondences between BIN, HEX and decimal code.
(2) Numerical representation of HEX

SEQUENCE PROGRAM LANGUAGES AND OPERATIONS

Each register (e.g. data register) of the built-in PLC function consist of 16 bits.
Therefore, the value that can be stored into each register is represented as any of
0 to HFFFF in HEX.

 Inputs, Outputs X, Y

3.2 Inputs, Outputs X, Y

Inputs and outputs are devices designed to transfer data between the inverter and
external devices.
Inputs provide ON/OFF data given to the corresponding control input terminals from
outside the inverter. In a program, they are used as contacts (normally open, normally
closed contacts) and the source data of basic instructions. Outputs are used when the
operation results of a program are output from the control output terminals to outside
the inverter.

3.3 Internal Relays M

Internal relays are auxiliary relays that are used in the PLC function and cannot latch
data (backup for power failure).
All internal relays are turned off when:
• Power is switched from off to on; or
• Reset is performed.

There are no restrictions on the number of contacts (N/O and N/C contacts) used in
the program.
Use outputs (Y) when outputting the operation results of the sequence program to
outside the inverter.

contact of that timer turns on when the present value reaches the setting (time-out).

3.4.1 100ms, 10ms and 100ms retentive timers

(1) 100ms and 10ms timers
The timer starts timing the present value when its coil turns on, and the present
value is reset to 0 and the contact turns off when the coil turns off.

REMARKS
100ms, 10ms and 100ms retentive timers can be changed using the built-in PLC function
parameter. (The default is a 100ms timer.)
Since the FR-C500 has 8 timers (T0 to T7), it can use only any one type of 100ms, 10ms and 3
100ms retentive timers.

Timers T

(2) 100ms retentive timers

1) A 100ms retentive timer is designed to time the ON period of the timer coil.
When its coil turns on, the timer starts timing the present value and maintains
the present value and contact ON/OFF state if the coil turns off.
When the coil turns on again, the timer resumes timing from the maintained
present value.
2) Use the RST T instruction to clear the present value and turn off the contact.

3.4.2 Timer processing method and accuracy
(1) Timer processing method
The coil of the timer is turned on/off at execution of the OUT T instruction, and
the timer's present value is updated and its contact turned on/off at execution of
the END instruction.
1) When the coil of the timer turns on, the present value of that timer is updated
after execution of the END instruction, and when the timer times out, its contact
turns on.
(a) When the coil of the 10ms or 100ms timer turns off, the present value of
that timer is reset to 0 and the contact is also turned off after execution of
the END instruction.
(b) If its coil turns off, the 100ms retentive timer maintains the prevent value
and contact ON/OFF state.
2) When the timer is reset by the RST instruction, the present value of the timer is
reset to 0 and the contact turns off too at execution of the RST T instruction.
POINT
If the timer setting is "0", the setting becomes infinite and the timer does not time out.

Counters C

3.5 Counters C
The counters of the built-in PLC function are up counters.
An up counter stops counting and its contact turns on when the count value reaches
the setting.
(1) Count processing
1) The coil of the counter is turned on/off at execution of the OUT C instruction,
and its present value is updated and its contact turns on after execution of the
END instruction.
2) The counter counts on detection of the leading edge (OFF to ON) of the coil. It
does not count if the coil remains on.
(2) Counter resetting
1) The count value is not cleared even if the coil turns off. Use the RST C
instruction to clear the count value and turn off the contact.
2) When the counter is reset by the RST instruction, the present value and
contact of the counter are cleared at execution of the RST instruction.

 How to RUN/STOP the Built-in PLC Function
from Outside (Remote RUN/STOP)

4.2 How to RUN/STOP the Built-in PLC Function from

Outside (Remote RUN/STOP)
The built-in PLC function is RUN/STOPped by shorting/opening SQ-SD.
Remote RUN/STOP is to RUN/STOP the built-in PLC function from outside the
inverter with SQ-SD shorted (RUN status).
(1) Applications of remote RUN/STOP
In the following cases, the function can be RUN/STOPped by remote operation
using remote RUN/STOP.
1) When the inverter is out of reach.
2) When the inverter in a control box is RUN/STOPped from outside the control box.
(2) Operation performed at remote RUN/STOP
The operation of the sequence program for performing remote RUN/STOP is as
described below.
• Remote STOP ...... The function enters the STOP status after the sequence
program is executed up to the END instruction.
• Remote RUN ........ When remote RUN is performed after the function has been
put in the "STOP status" by remote STOP, the function
enters the RUN status again and executes the sequence
program from step 0.
(3) Remote RUN/STOP method
There are the following remote RUN/STOP methods.
1) Setting using built-in PLC function parameter (using contact)
Remote RUN/STOP can be performed by turning the remote RUN contact off/on.
For example, this method can be used to STOP the PLC function with the
emergency stop contact.
• When the remote RUN contact turns off, the function enters the "RUN" status.
• When the remote RUN contact turns on, the function enters the "STOP"
status.

Note the following points since the built-in PLC function gives priority to STOP.
• The built-in PLC function enters the STOP status when remote STOP is
performed from any of the remote RUN contact, GX Developer, etc.
• To place the built-in PLC function in the RUN status again after it has been put
in the STOP status by remote STOP, all external factors (remote RUN contact,
GX Developer, etc.) for remote STOP must be set to RUN.
REMARKS
What are RUN and STOP statuses?
•RUN status............. Status where a sequence program is repeating operation from step 0 to
END instruction.
•STOP status .......... Status where sequence program operation is at a stop and the outputs
(Y) are all off.

 Watchdog Timer (Operation clog up monitor timer)

4.3 Watchdog Timer (Operation clog up monitor timer)

(1) Watchdog timer
A watchdog timer is the internal timer of the built-in PLC function designed to
detect hardware or sequence program faults.
Its default value is set to 200ms.
(2) Watchdog timer resetting
The built-in PLC function resets the watchdog timer before execution of step 0
(after execution of END processing).
When the built-in PLC function operates properly and the END instruction is
executed within the setting in the sequence program, the watchdog timer does
not time out.
If the hardware fault of the built-in PLC function occurs or the scan time of the
sequence program is too long to execute the END instruction within the setting,
the watchdog timer times out.

(3) Processing performed when watchdog timer times out
If the scan time exceeds the watchdog timer setting, a watchdog timer error
occurs and:
1) The built-in PLC function turns off all outputs.
2) The P.RUN LED goes off or flickers.
3) M9008 turns on and the error code is stored into D9008.

Self-diagnostic Function

4.4 Self-diagnostic Function

The self-diagnostic function diagnoses faults by the built-in PLC function itself.
(1) Self-diagnostic timing
The self-diagnostic function is performed at power-on, at reset, at execution of
any instruction, or at execution of the END instruction.
1) At power-on, at reset
Whether operation can be executed or not is diagnosed.

2) At execution of any instruction

An error occurs if the operation of any instruction in the sequence program is
not executed properly.
CAUTION
For the LD, AND, OR, logical comparison operation, and OUT instructions, the set
devices are always checked. For the other instructions (SET, RST, MOV, etc.), a
check is made as soon as the execution condition holds and the instruction is
ready to be executed.

3) At execution of END instruction

Operation clog up monitor timer
(2) Operation mode at fault detection
There are two different PLC operation modes at detection of a fault by the self-
diagnostic: operation stop mode and operation continuation mode.
The operation continuation mode includes a fault that enables operation to be
stopped by built-in PLC function parameter setting. (Refer to page 39)
1) If an operation stop error is detected by the self-diagnostic, operation is
stopped and outputs (Y) are all turned off as soon as the error is detected. The
other devices maintain their states at occurrence of the error.

2) If an operation continuation error is detected, only the faulty program part is not
executed and the program at the next step is executed.
(3) Error definition checking
When M9008 (self-diagnostic error) turns on at detection of an error, the error
code is stored into D9008 (self-diagnostic error). Especially in the continuation
mode, use it in the program to prevent a mechanical system malfunction.
For the errors detected by the self-diagnostic, refer to the error code list on page
98.

 Self-diagnostic Function

4.4.1 Error-time operation mode

The built-in PLC function allows you to set whether the sequence program operation
will be stopped or continued at occurrence of an operation error.
Use the built-in PLC function parameter to set whether operation will be stopped or
continued.

4.5 Keyword Registration

The keyword is designed to inhibit the read and rewrite of the program and comments
in the built-in PLC function using GX Developer.
(1) Read/write from built-in PLC function where keyword has been registered
When the keyword has been registered, the built-in PLC function parameters,
main program and comments cannot be read/written from the built-in PLC
function to the GX Developer device unless the keyword registered to the built-in
PLC function is entered.
(2) Registration and cancel of keyword
A keyword of up to six digits can be set in hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F).
Make built-in PLC function parameter setting to register or cancel the keyword.

4.6 Setting of Output (Y) Status at Switching from

STOP Status to RUN Status

When the RUN status is switched to the STOP status, the outputs (Y) in the RUN
status are stored into the built-in PLC function.
Using the built-in PLC function parameter, you can set whether the outputs (Y) will be
output again or will be output after execution of operation when the STOP status is
switched to the RUN status.

"Output (Y) status at STOP is output"

The sequence program operation is performed after the output (Y)

 Operation Error

5.4 Operation Error

When a basic instruction is used, an operation error will occur in the following
case.
(a) If any error described in the description of the corresponding instruction
occurs.
POINT
Note that if the device designation range is outside the corresponding device
range, an operation error does not occur and data is written to other than the
specified device.
M50 to M65 are the targets, but actual
setting range is M0 to M63, and error
occurs since M64 and M65 do not exist.

(1) Error processing

If an operation error occurred at execution of a basic instruction, the error flag
turns on and the error step number is stored into the error step storage register.
M9010 ... Turns on at an operation error and turns off if the next basic
Error flag instruction is normal.
M9011.... Turns on at the first operation error.
D9010 .... Stores the first step number of the instruction where an operation
Error step error occurred.
storage register D9011 .... Stores the first step number of the instruction where an operation
error occurred first.

1) D9011 stores the step number of the instruction where an operation error occurred STRUCTURES OF INSTRUCTIONS
when M9011 turned from OFF to ON. Therefore, D9011 data does not change if
M9011 remains on.
2) To reset M9011 and D9011, program as shown below.

MCR
(1) This instruction is designed to reset the master control and indicates the end of the
master control range.
(2) Do not provide a contact instruction in front of the MCR instruction.
The master control instructions can be nested. Their master control ranges are
differentiated by the nesting (N). The nesting can be used from N0 to N7.
Using the nesting structure, you can create a ladder that restricts the program
execution conditions in order.

Note the following when nesting the instructions.

(1) The instructions can be nested to a level of eight (N0 to 7). When nesting them,
use MC from lower to higher nesting (N) numbers and MCR from higher to lower
numbers. In the opposite order, the PLC function cannot perform normal
operation since the instructions cannot be nested.

instruction
Data transfer instruction Transfer of specified data 88
For the number of steps, refer to the instruction manual of the FREQROL-C500.

6.10 Comparison Operation Instructions

(1) The comparison operation instruction is handled as a contact, compares the
magnitudes of two pieces of data (e.g. =, >, <), and turns on when the condition
holds.

(2) Use the comparison operation instructions in the same manner as the contact
instructions of the PLC instructions as indicated below.
• LD, LDI ......... LD=
• AND, ANI ..... AND=
• OR, ORI ....... OR=

(3) There are the following 18 different comparison operation instructions.

Refer to page 86 for details.

CAUTION
The comparison instruction regards the specified data as BIN values. Hence, if the value
whose most significant bit (b15) is 1 (8 to F) is specified for comparison of hexadecimal
data, it is regarded as a negative BIN value.
Example

How to Read the Error Code

When the built-in PLC function is in the RUN status or if an alarm occurs during RUN,
the self-diagnostic function displays the error and stores the error code and error step
into the special registers. This chapter describes the error definitions and corrective
actions.

7.1 How to Read the Error Code

When an error has occurred, the error code can be read with the peripheral device.
For the operation method, refer to the operating manual of the peripheral device.
The following table indicates the error names, error codes, definitions, causes and
corrective actions.
The error code and error step are stored into the following special registers.
