Application Precautions 5

• Interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures in external circuits
(i.e., not in the Programmable Controller) must be provided by the customer.
• Always use the power supply voltage specified in the operation manuals. An
incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.
• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated
voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the
power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-circuit-
ing in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-circuiting may
result in burning.
• Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input voltage.
Excess voltages may result in burning.
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of the
maximum switching capacity. Excess voltage or loads may result in burning.
• Disconnect the functional ground terminal when performing withstand voltage
tests. Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result in burning.
• Install the Unit properly as specified in the operation manual. Improper installa-
tion of the Unit may result in malfunction.
• Be sure that all the mounting screws, terminal screws, and cable connector
screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect
tightening torque may result in malfunction.
• Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may re-
sult in malfunction.
• Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dissipa-
tion. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to
terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in burning.
• Double-check all the wiring before turning on the power supply. Incorrect wir-
ing may result in burning.
• Mount the Unit only after checking the terminal block completely.
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, Memory Units, expansion cables, and other
items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking
may result in malfunction.
• Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the
Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected operation.
• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting any of
the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Changing the operating mode of the PC.
• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
• Resume operation only after transferring to the new CPU Unit the contents of
the DM and HR Areas required for resuming operation. Not doing so may result
in an unexpected operation.
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Doing
either of these may break the cables.
• Do not place objects on top of the cables. Doing so may break the cables.
• When replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the rating of a new part is correct.
Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.
• Before touching the Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in
order to discharge any static built-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or
damage.

xiv
Application Precautions 5

• Do not touch the Expansion I/O Unit Connecting Cable while the power is
being supplied in order to prevent any malfunction due to static electricity.

! Caution Always clear memory before beginning to program the CPM1. Although
memory is cleared before the CPU Unit is shipped (except for bits with specific
functions), AR 1314, which turns ON when the internal capacitor cannot back up
memory, may have turned ON during shipment.

! Caution If the CPM1 will be turned off for periods exceeding the data backup period of the
internal capacitor, design the system so that it will not be influenced if data in the
DM, HR, and CNT areas is cleared when power is turned off.

! Caution Either switch the CPM1 to RUN or MONITOR mode, or turn off and on power to
the CPM1 after changing from a Programming Device any data that is backed up
in flash memory. This data includes the user program, read-only DM area (DM
6144 to DM 6599), and the PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655).

• The user program and memory area data in the CPM1 are backed up either by
an internal capacitor or in flash memory as shown in the following table.
Backup method Data
Internal capacitor Read/write DM area (DM 0000 to DM 0999, DM 1022, and
DM 1023)
Error log area (DM 1000 to DM 1021)
HR area (HR 00 to HR 19)
Counter area (CNT 000 to CNT 127)
Flash memory User program
Read-only DM area (DM 6144 to DM 6599)
PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655)

Note 1. The IR, TR, LR, and timer areas are not normally backed up when power is
turned off and all contents will be cleared the next time power is turned on.
(The PC Setup setting in DM 6601 can be used to back up this data. Refer to
details on the PC Setup later in this manual for details.)
2. The bits in the AR and SR areas have special functions and are set accord-
ing to these functions when power is turned on.
• The capacitor backup time depends on the ambient temperature, as shown in
the following graph. The backup time, however, assumes that the capacitor is
fully charged, which requires that power be supplied to the CPU Unit continu-
ously for at least 15 minutes.
Backup time (days)

Application Precautions 5

If the power remains off for a period exceeding the data backup period,
AR 1314 will turn ON to indicate that the capacitor can no longer back up data
and the data backed up by the capacitor will be cleared. AR 1314 will remain
ON unless it is turned OFF using I/O monitor operations, using memory clear
operations, or from the user program.
If desired, the PC Setup setting in DM 6604 can be set to create a fatal error
and thus stop the system when AR 1314 goes ON.
• The data stored in flash memory will not be lost even if power remains off for a
period exceeding the data backup period, because the data stored in flash
memory will be read to the CPU Unit when the CPM1 is turned on.
• If the power is turned off without changing the mode from PROGRAM mode to
RUN or MONITOR mode after having made changes in the data that is backed
up in flash memory, the changes will not be written to flash memory. If the
power is then left off for more than 20 days (at 25_C), the changes (i.e., the
contents of the RAM) will be erased and the data values will become unde-
fined.

1-1 CPM1 Features and Functions

1-1-1 CPM1 Features
One-piece Construction The CPM1 is a one-piece PC with10, 20, or 30 I/O terminals built into the CPU
Unit.
CPM1-10CDR-j (10 I/O Terminals)

CPM1-20CDR-j (20 I/O Terminals)

CPM1-30CDR-j (30 I/O Terminals)

CPM1-30CDR-j-V1 (30 I/O Terminals) (Available soon)

Extra I/O Capacity An Expansion I/O Unit can be connected to the CPU Unit to add an extra 20 I/O
points.
By using the CPM1-30CDR-A-V1 (Available soon) or CPM1-30CDR-D-V1
(Available soon), I/O expansion up to 90 points is possible.
Input Filter Function The CPM1 is equipped with a filter function to prevent incorrect operation
caused by chatter or noise in the input signal. The user can select an input time
constant of 1 ms, 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, 64 ms, or 128 ms.
Low-maintenance Design Flash memory provides memory backup without a battery.
Conforms to EC Directives The CPM1 PCs conform to EC directives (EMC and low-voltage directives), so
they can be incorporated in equipment destined for the EC. Contact your
OMRON representative for more details.
Input Interrupts The CPM1-10CDR-j PCs can handle 2 interrupt inputs; the CPM1-20CDR-j
and CPM1-30CDR-j (CPM1-30CDR-j-V1 (Available soon)) PCs can handle
4 interrupt inputs. In addition to normal input interrupts, the CPM1 has a counter
mode that counts high-speed input signals and triggers interrupts at fixed count
multiples.
Quick-response Inputs Quick-response inputs can detect input signals with a pulse width as short as
0.2 ms regardless of their timing during the PC cycle. Quick-response inputs
and interrupt inputs use the same input terminals.
Interval Timer CPM1 PCs have a high-speed interval timer which can be set from 0.5 ms to
319968 ms. The timer can be set to trigger a single interrupt (one-shot mode) or
repeat scheduled interrupts (scheduled interrupt mode).

CPM1 Features and Functions Section 1-1

High-speed Counter CPM1 PCs have a high-speed counter that can be used in incremental mode or
up/down mode. The high-speed counter can be combined with input interrupts
to perform target value control or zone comparison control that isn’t affected by
the PC’s cycle time.

Analog Setting Function The CPM1 PCs have 2 analog volume controls that can be used to make manual
analog settings.

Host Link Communications The CPM1 PCs are compatible with the Host Link, which allows communica-
tions with personal computers. The CPM1 using the Host Link can also commu-
nicate with Programmable Terminal using host link commands.
An RS-232C Adapter is used for 1-to-1 communications and an RS-422 Adapter
is used for 1-to-n communications.

1-to-1 Link A data link can be created with a data area in another CPM1, CQM1, or C200HS
PC. An RS-232C Adapter is used to make the 1-to-1 connection.

NT Link Communications High-speed operations can be achieved by providing a direct access by con-
necting the CPM1 to the Programmable Terminal through the NT Link Interface.
An RS-232 Adapter is used for this connection.

Standard Peripheral Devices The CPM1 uses the same Programming Consoles, SYSMAC Support Software
(SSS), and Ladder Support Software (LSS) as the Mini H-type and CQM1 PCs.

Programming is Possible Programming operation is possible through the PT screen by using an OMRON

The following table shows which IR bits are allocated to the I/O terminals on the
CPM1’s CPU Unit and Expansion I/O Unit.

Note The Expansion I/O Units consist of models with relay output. The Expansion I/O
Units can also be connected to CPM1A Expansion I/O Units (sink type or source
type) with transistor output. For more information about the transistor-output
Expansion I/O Units of the CPM1A, refer to the CPM1A Operation Manual
(W317).

1-1-3 CPM1 Functions

Analog Setting Function CPM1 PCs have 2 analog volume controls that can be used to make analog
timer and counter settings manually. When one of the volume controls is turned,
the content of the corresponding IR word is set automatically between 0 and 200
(BCD).
Adjust the volume control with a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Analog volume control 0

Analog volume control 1

The following table shows which IR words are allocated to the analog controls on
the CPM1’s CPU Unit.
Control Corresponding IR word Setting range (BCD)
Analog volume control 0 IR 250 0000 to 0200
Analog volume control 1 IR 251

Input Filter Function The input time constant for the CPM1’s external inputs can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,
32, 64, or 128 ms. Increasing the input time constant can reduce the effects of
chatter or noise in the input signal.

Input from an input device

such as a limit switch

Input bit status

t t Input time constant

With the CPM1, actual response time for each set input time constant for word
000 is different from that for word 001 or later.
Set value Word 000 Word 001 or later
1 ms 1 to 1.5 ms 0.1 to 0.3 ms
2 ms 2 to 2.5 ms 0.7 to 1.5 ms
4 ms 4 to 4.5 ms 1.5 to 2.5 ms
8 ms 8 to 8.5 ms 3 to 4.5 ms
16 ms 16 to 16.5 ms 6 to 9 ms
32 ms 32 to 32.5 ms 12 to 18 ms
64 ms 64 to 64.5 ms 24 to 35 ms
128 ms 128 to 128.5 ms 50 to 70 ms

The input response time of the CPM1 is obtained with the following:
2 ms max. (hardware performance) + input time constant (see above table)
+ cycle time

CPM1 Features and Functions Section 1-1

Input Interrupts The CPM1-10CDR-j PCs have 2 interrupt input terminals and the
CPM1-20CDR-j and CPM1-30CDR-j PCs have 4 interrupt input terminals.
There are two modes for input interrupts: input interrupt mode and counter
mode.
1, 2, 3... 1. When an interrupt occurs in Input Interrupt Mode, the main program is inter-
rupted and the interrupt program is executed immediately, regardless of the
cycle time.
2. In Counter Mode, external input signals are counted at high speed (up to
1 kHz) and an interrupt is generated each time the count reaches the set
value. When an interrupt occurs, the main program is interrupted and the
interrupt program is executed. The set value can be set from 0 to 65,535.
The following diagram shows the program execution when an interrupt occurs.

Quick-response Inputs The CPM1-10CDR-j PCs have 2 quick-response input terminals and the
CPM1-20CDR-j/30CDR-j PCs have 4 quick-response input terminals. (The
same terminals are used for quick-response inputs and interrupt inputs.)
Quick-response inputs have an internal buffer, so input signals shorter than one
cycle can be detected.

Interval Timer Function CPM1 PCs are equipped with an interval timer which can be set from 0.5 ms to
(Scheduled Interrupts) 319,968 ms in units of 0.1 ms. The timer can be set to trigger a single interrupt
(one-shot mode) or repeat scheduled interrupts (scheduled interrupt mode).

CPM1 Features and Functions Section 1-1

High-speed Counter CPM1 PCs have a high-speed counter that can be used in incremental mode or
up/down mode. The high-speed counter can be combined with input interrupts
to perform target value control or zone comparison control that isn’t affected by
the PC’s cycle time.

Memory Backup The user program and memory area data in the CPM1 are backed up either by
an internal capacitor or in flash memory as shown in the following table.
Backup method Data
Internal capacitor Read/write DM area (DM 0000 to DM 0999, DM 1022, and
DM 1023)
Error log area (DM 1000 to DM 1021)
HR area (HR 00 to HR 19)
Counter area (CNT 000 to CNT 127)
Flash memory User program
Read-only DM area (DM 6144 to DM 6599)
PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655)

Note 1. The IR, TR, LR, and timer areas are not normally backed up when power is
turned off and all contents will be cleared the next time power is turned on.
(The PC Setup setting in DM 6601 can be used to back up this data. Refer to
details on the PC Setup later in this manual for details.)
2. The bits in the AR and SR areas have special functions and are set accord-
ing to these functions when power is turned on.
The capacitor backup time depends on the ambient temperature, as shown in
the following graph. The backup time, however, assumes that the capacitor is
fully charged, which requires that power be supplied to the CPU Unit continu-
ously for at least 15 minutes.
Backup time (days)

Ambient temperature (_C)

If the power remains off for a period exceeding the data backup period,
AR 1314 will turn ON to indicate that the capacitor can no longer back up data
and the data backed up by the capacitor will be cleared. AR 1314 will remain
ON unless it is turned OFF using I/O monitor operations, using memory clear
operations, or from the user program.
If desired, the PC Setup setting in DM 6604 can be set to create a fatal error
and thus stop the system when AR 1314 goes ON.
The data stored in flash memory will not be lost even if power remains off for a
period exceeding the data backup period, because the data stored in flash
memory will be read to the CPU Unit when the CPM1 is turned on.
If the power is turned off without changing the mode from PROGRAM mode to
RUN or MONITOR mode after having made changes in the data that is backed
up in flash memory, the changes will not be written to flash memory. If the power
is then left off for more than 20 days (at 25_C), the changes (i.e., the contents of
the RAM) will be erased and the data values will become undefined.

Design Precautions Section 3-1

3-1 Design Precautions

Observe the following precautions when designing a system incorporating a
CPM1 PC.

3-1-1 Power Supply Wiring

Separate the power supply wiring from the control system, CPM1 system, and
DC I/O system wiring.

3-1-2 Interlock and Limit Circuits

Construct an external interlock circuit if CPM1 outputs are used to perform recip-
rocal operations such as controlling the forward and reverse operation of a
motor or if incorrect PC operation could cause accidents or mechanical damage.
Also, construct an external limit circuit to prevent run-away movement in sys-
tems such as position control.
The following diagram shows an example of an interlock circuit.
Interlock Circuit

01005 MC2
MC1 Motor forward

CPM1
01006 MC1
MC2 Motor reverse

In the interlock circuit above, MC1 and MC2 can’t be ON at the same time even if
CPM1 outputs 01005 and 01006 are both ON (an incorrect PC operation).

3-1-3 Power Supply Voltage

! Caution Use the power supply voltages indicated in Section 2 Unit Specifications and
Components. Failure to adhere to the specifications may result in fire. In places
where power supply conditions are poor, take steps to ensure that power is sup-
plied at the rated voltage. Be sure to adhere to safety precautions, such as pro-
viding breakers to prevent short circuits in external wiring. When conducting any
of the following operations, turn OFF the power to the PC. Electrocution, product
damage and malfunction may result.

• Connecting or disconnecting Expansion I/O Units and CPU Units.

• Assembling Units
• Connecting cables and wiring.

3-1-4 CPM1 Power Interruptions

Supply Voltage Drop
When the supply voltage falls below 85% of the rated value, the PC stops and
the output goes OFF.
Momentary Power Failure Detection
A momentary power failure lasting less than 10 ms with an AC power supply and
2 ms with a DC power supply is not detected and the CPU Unit continues to oper-
ate.
A momentary power failure lasting longer than 10 ms with an AC power supply
and 2 ms with a DC power supply may or may not be detected in an uncertain
area.
When a momentary power failure is detected, the CPU Unit stops operating and
the output goes OFF.

28
Selecting an Installation Site Section 3-2

Automatic Restart
When the supply voltage recovers to a value higher than 85% of the rated value,
operations resumes automatically.

Under 10 ms (2 ms) Over

Duration of power interrupt
(Below 85% of rated voltage)
Normal operation Operation may stop.

All outputs go OFF when

operations stop.

Note The CPM1 may repeat stop/start operations if the supply voltage of less than
85% of the rated value gradually goes up or down.
If this affects the equipment, etc., provide a protection circuit which shuts off the
output if the supply voltage is not above the rated value.

Time Up to the Start of Operation

The time from when the power supply is turned on to when the operation starts
varies depending on the operation conditions such as power supply voltage,
configuration, ambient temperature, etc. The minimum time is approximately
300 ms.

3-2 Selecting an Installation Site

The CPM1 is resistant to harsh conditions and highly reliable, but installing the
PC in a favorable site will maximize its reliability and operating lifetime.

! Caution Be sure to install the CPM1 correctly, as outlined in this manual. Failure to do so
may result in Unit malfunction.

3-2-1 Installation Site Conditions

Note Do not install the CPM1 under any of the following conditions.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to a temperature below 0°C or over 55°C.
• Locations subject to a humidity below 10% or over 90%.
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tempera-
ture.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.
Be sure that the conditions at the installation site conform to the CPM1’s general
specifications. Refer to 2-1-1 General Specifications for details.
Note Provide proper shielding when installing in the following locations:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other sources of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.

Wiring and Connections Section 3-4

Grounding Be sure to ground the functional earth and protective earth terminals together to
less than 100 Ω in order to protect against electric shock and incorrect operation
from electrical noise. Be sure to use a wire of at least 1.25 mm2 for grounding.

! Caution When installing the Units, always connect to a class-3 (to 100 Ω or less) ground.
Otherwise, an electric shock may occur.

Ground to 100 Ω max.

Note Disconnect the functional earth terminal when performing withstand voltage
tests.

Crimp Connectors Always use crimp connectors for the CPM1’s power lines and I/O lines or else
use a single-wire line (instead of a stranded wire). Stray wire strands could acci-
dentally short out.
Use M3 terminal screws and tighten the screws securely (0.5 N S m).
Recommended Terminal: Use the terminal shown below. Round terminals can-
not be used.
Fork terminal

6.2 mm max.

3-4-2 Power Supply Wiring

100- to 240-VAC Power Wire a separate circuit for the CPM1’s power supply circuit so that there isn’t a
Supply voltage drop from the inrush current that flows when other equipment is turned
on.
When several CPM1 PCs are being used, it is recommended to wire the PCs on
separate circuits to prevent a voltage drop from the inrush current or incorrect
operation of the circuit breaker.
Use twisted power supply wires to prevent noise from the power supply lines.
Adding a 1:1 isolating transformer reduces electrical noise even further.
Isolating

24 VDC

! Caution Do not perform a dielectric test on a DC-type CPU Unit. Use the Power Supply
provided with double insulation or reinforced insulation for conforming to the EC
Directives (Low-voltage Directives).

3-4-3 Input Wiring

Wire the inputs to the CPM1’s CPU Unit and Expansion I/O Unit as shown in the
following diagrams. Use crimp connectors or single-wire lines (not stranded
wire) to connect to the PC. The power supply output terminals can be used with
AC-type CPU Units.

Leakage Current (24 VDC) A leakage current can cause false inputs when using 2-wire sensors (proximity
switches or photoelectric switches) or limit switches with LEDs.
False inputs won’t occur if the leakage current is less than 1.0 mA (2.5 mA for
IN00000 to IN00002), but if the leakage current exceeds these values, insert a
bleeder resistor in the circuit to reduce the input impedance, as shown in the fol-
lowing diagram.

The input impedance, input current, and OFF voltage may vary depending on the
input being used. (IN00000 through IN00002 have different values.)

Inductive Loads When connecting an inductive load to an input, connect a diode in parallel with
the load. The diode should satisfy the following requirements:
1, 2, 3... 1. Peak reverse-breakdown voltage must be at least 3 times the load voltage.
2. Average rectified current must be 1 A.

Output Wiring Precautions Observe the following precautions to protect the PC’s internal components.
Output Short Protection
The output or internal circuitry might be damaged when the load connected to an
output is short-circuited, so it is recommended to install protective fuses in the
output circuits.
Inductive Loads
When connecting an inductive load to an input, connect a surge protector or
diode in parallel with the load.
The surge protector’s components should have the following ratings:

3-4-5 Conformance to EMC Directives

Each CPM1 PC conforms to the Common Emission Standards (EN50081-2,
established in June 1993) of the EMC Directives. However, the noise generated
when the PC is switched ON or OFF using the relay output may not satisfy these
standards. In such a case, a noise filter must be connected to the load side or
other appropriate countermeasures must be provided external to the PC.
Countermeasures taken to satisfy the standards vary depending on the devices
on the load side, wiring, configuration of machines, etc. Following is an example
of a countermeasure for reducing the generated noise.

Countermeasures
(Refer to EN50081-2 for more details.)
Countermeasures are not required if the frequency of load switching for the
whole system with the PC included is less than 5 times per minute.
Countermeasures are required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system with the PC included is more than 5 times per minute.

Support Software Capabilities Section 4-1

4-1 Support Software Capabilities

The SSS is a complete programming and control package designed for C-series
and CVM1 PCs. It provides not only programming capabilities, but also
advanced debugging, monitoring, and program/data management. The follow-
ing tables provide only a brief introduction to the capabilities of the SSS. For fur-
ther information and actual operating procedures, please refer to the SYSMAC
Support Software Operation Manual: C-series.
CPM1 programming can be performed with all versions of SSS. (Ladder Support
Software (LSS) version 5.0 or higher can also be used.)
In addition, the SYSMAC-CPT can be used for programming the CPM1. Refer to
the SYSMAC-CPT Support Software Quick Start Guide (W332) and User
Manual (W333) for operation procedures. When programming the CPM1 using
the SYSMAC-CPT, be sure to set the “PC model” on the Support Software to
“CPM1 (CPM1A).”

4-1-1 SSS System Setup

Set the PC Model to “CQM1” and the PC Interface to “PERIPHERAL.” Follow the
directions in the SSS Operating Manual for other System Setup settings.
PC Model If the CPM1 PC doesn’t appear as an option in the SSS’s System Setup, set the
PC Model to “CQM1.” The CPM1 is compatible with the CQM1.
PC Interface Set the PC Interface to the Peripheral Device Port by selecting “PERIPHERAL”
from the submenu. After selecting the Peripheral Device Port, set the commu-
nications baud rate to 9,600 baud.

4-1-2 CPM1 Restrictions and Precautions

When programming the CPM1, set the PC Model on the SSS to “CQM1.” Heed
the following restrictions when programming the CPM1.
Programming Check Since the data area of the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1, some parts of
the area cannot be checked as the CPM1 PC. Pay careful attention to the usable
data area when programming.
Note If a program that contains addresses not supported by the CPM1 are transferred
to the CPM1, a memory error will occur when operation is begun and AR 1308
will turn ON. Refer to the Programming Manual (W228) for differences in
memory areas.

Memory Usage Since the memory of the the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1, the displayed
available memory capacity is larger than the actual available memory capacity.
Pay careful attention to the actual available memory capacity when program-
ming.
Expansion Instructions When a program is transferred after changing the assignment of function codes
for the 18 expansion instructions, a message to “Turn on the DIP switch of the
PC and execute again” is displayed. Change the assignment of the function
codes for the expansion instructions to the default settings before programming.

4-2-3 Preparation for Operation

This section describes the procedures required to begin Programming Console
operation.

! Caution Always confirm that the Programming Console is in PROGRAM mode when
turning on the PC with a Programming Console connected unless another mode
is desired for a specific purpose. If the Programming Console is in RUN mode
when PC power is turned on, any program in Program Memory will be executed,
possibly causing a PC-controlled system to begin operation.

The following sequence of operations must be performed before beginning ini-

tial program input.
1, 2, 3... 1. Insert the mode key into the Programming Console.
2. Set the mode switch to PROGRAM mode. (The mode key cannot be
removed while set to PROGRAM mode.)
3. Turn on PC power.
4. Confirm that the CPU Unit’s POWER LED is lit and the following display
appears on the Programming Console screen. (If the PC mode is not dis-
played, turn off and restart the power supply. If the ALM/ERR LED is lit or
flashing or an error message is displayed, clear the error that has occurred.)

<PROGRAM>
PASSWORD!

5. Enter the password. See 4-2-4 Entering the Password for details.
6. Clear memory. Skip this step if the program does not need to be cleared.
See 4-3-2 Clearing Memory for details.

4-2-4 Entering the Password

To gain access to the PC’s programming functions, you must first enter the pass-
word. The password prevents unauthorized access to the program.
The PC prompts you for a password when PC power is turned on or, if PC power
is already on, after the Programming Console has been connected to the PC. To
gain access to the system when the “Password!” message appears, press CLR
and then MONTR. Then press CLR to clear the display.
If the Programming Console is connected to the PC when PC power is already
on, the first display below will indicate the mode the PC was in before the Pro-
gramming Console was connected. Ensure that the PC is in PROGRAM mode
before you enter the password. When the password is entered, the PC will
shift to the mode set on the mode switch, causing PC operation to begin if the
mode is set to RUN or MONITOR. The mode can be changed to RUN or MON-
ITOR with the mode switch after entering the password.

<PROGRAM>

4-2-5 Changing the CPM1’s Mode

Once the Programming Console has been connected, its mode switch can be
used to change the CPM1’s PC mode. The mode display (<PROGRAM>,
<MONITOR>, or <RUN>) will appear on the Programming Console screen.
• No key operations can be performed while the mode display is displayed on
the Programming Console screen. Press CLR to clear the display so that key
operations can be performed.
• If the SHIFT Key is pressed while the mode switch is turned, the original dis-
play will remain on the Programming Console’s screen and the mode display
won’t appear.

PROGRAM Mode The CPM1 program isn’t executed in PROGRAM mode. Use PROGRAM mode
to create and edit the program, clear memory, or check the program for errors.
MONITOR Mode The CPM1 program is executed in MONITOR mode and I/O is processed just as
it is in RUN mode. Use MONITOR mode when testing the system by monitoring
the CPM1’s operating status, force-setting and resetting I/O bits, changing the
SV/PV of timers and counters, etc.
RUN Mode This is the CPM1’s normal operating mode. The CPM1’s operating status can be
monitored from a Peripheral Device, but bits can’t be force-set/force-reset and
the SV/PV of timers and counters can’t be changed.

! Caution Be sure to confirm that no adverse effect will occur with the equipment before
changing the operating mode of the PC.

Initial System Checks and Test Run Procedure Section 5-1

5-1 Initial System Checks and Test Run Procedure

5-1-1 Initial System Checks
Note Check the following items after setting up and wiring the CPM1. Be sure to check
the wiring and connections before performing a test run.

Item Points to check

Power supply and Is the wiring correct?
I/O connections Are the terminals securely tightened?
Are there any shorts between crimp connectors or wires?
Refer to 3-4 Wiring and Connections for details.
Connecting cables Are the cables all connected correctly and locked?
Refer to 3-4 Wiring and Connections for details.
Dustproof label Has the dustproof label been removed?
Refer to 3-4 Wiring and Connections for details.

Note 1. Always clear memory before beginning to program the CPM1. Although
memory is cleared before the CPU Unit is shipped (except for bits with spe-
cific functions), AR 1314, which turns ON when the internal capacitor cannot
back up memory, may have turned ON during shipment.
2. If the CPM1 will be turned off for periods exceeding the data backup period
of the internal capacitor, design the system so that it will not be influenced if
data in the DM, HR, and CNT areas is cleared when power is turned off.
3. Either switch the CPM1 to RUN or MONITOR mode, or turn off and on power
to the CPM1 after changing from a Programming Device any data that is
backed up in flash memory. This data includes the user program, read-only
DM area (DM 6144 to DM 6599), and the PC Setup (DM 6600 to DM 6655).

5-1-2 CPM1 Test Run Procedure

1, 2, 3... 1. Power Supply Application
a) Check the CPM1’s power supply voltage and terminal connections.
b) Check the I/O devices’ power supply voltage and terminal connections.
c) Turn on the power supply and check that the “POWER” indicator lights.
d) Use a Peripheral Device to set the CPM1 to PROGRAM mode.
2. I/O Wiring Checks
a) With the CPM1 in PROGRAM mode, check the output wiring by turning
on the output bits with the force set and force reset operations.
Refer to 4-3-23 Force Set, Reset for details.
b) Check the input wiring with the CPM1’s input indicators or a Peripheral
Device’s monitor operations.
3. Test Run
a) Use a Peripheral Device to set the CPM1 to RUN or MONITOR mode
and check that the “RUN” indicator lights.
b) Check the sequence of operation with the force set/reset operations, etc.
4. Debugging
Correct any programming errors that are detected.
5. Saving the Program
a) Use a Peripheral Device to write the program to a backup floppy disk.
b) Print out a hard copy of the program with a printer.
Note Refer to Section 4 Using Peripheral Devices for details on SYSMAC Support
Software or Programming Console operations.

86
Initial System Checks and Test Run Procedure Section 5-1

5-1-3 Flash Memory Precautions

Observe the following precautions to protect the flash memory and ensure
proper operation.
1, 2, 3... 1. If the power is turned off without changing the mode after having made chan-
ges in the read-only DM area (DM 6144 through DM 6599), or PC Setup (DM
6600 through DM 6655), the contents of changes will not be written to flash
memory. Therefore, if the power is turned off for more than 20 days (at
25_C), contents of changes (contents of the RAM) will disappear and the
data values will become undefined values. For details, refer to 2-1-2 Char-
acteristics.
The changes can be saved by switching the CPM1 to RUN or MONITOR
mode or turning on the CPM1 soon after the changes are made.
2. When the CPM1 is operated for the first time after changing the program, the
read-only DM area (DM 6144 through DM 6599) or PC Setup (DM 6600
through DM 6655) will take about 600 ms longer than usual. Be sure to take
this one-time startup delay into account.
3. If one of the following three operations is performed in MONITOR or RUN
mode, the CPM1 will extend the cycle time for up to 600 ms and interrupts
will be disabled while the program or PC Setup is being overwritten.
• Program changes with the online edit operation
• Changes to the read-only DM area (DM 6144 through DM 6599)
• Changes to the PC Setup (DM 6600 through DM 6655)
A “SCAN TIME OVER” error won’t occur during these operations. The
CPM1’s I/O response times may be affected when the online edit operation
is being performed.

87
The CPM1 Cycle Section 5-2

5-2 The CPM1 Cycle

The overall flow of CPM1 operation is as shown in the following flowchart. The
CPM1 is initialized internally when the power is turned on. If no errors are
detected, the overseeing processes, program execution, I/O refreshing, and
Peripheral Device servicing are executed consecutively (cyclically). The aver-
age cycle time can be monitor from a Peripheral Device.

Self-diagnosis Functions Section 5-3

5-3 Self-diagnosis Functions

The CPM1 is equipped with a variety of self-diagnosis functions to help identify
and correct errors that might occur and reduce down time.
PC errors are divided into 2 categories based on the severity of the errors. Fatal
errors are more serious errors which stop CPM1 operation. Non-fatal errors are
less serious and don’t stop CPM1 operation.

5-3-1 Non-fatal Errors

PC operation and program execution will continue after one or more of these
errors have occurred. Although PC operation will continue, the cause of the error
should be corrected and the error cleared as soon as possible.
When one of these errors occurs, the POWER and RUN indicators will remain lit
and the ERR/ALM indicator will flash.
Message FAL No. Meaning and appropriate response
SYS FAIL FAL** 01 to 99 An FAL(06) instruction has been executed in the program. Check the FAL number to
(** is 01 to 99 or 9B.) determine conditions that would cause execution, correct the cause, and clear the
error.
9B An error has been detected in the PC Setup. Check flags AR 1300 to AR 1302, and
correct as directed.
AR 1300 ON: An incorrect setting was detected in the PC Setup (DM 6600 to
DM 6614) when power was turned on. Correct the settings in PROGRAM Mode and
turn on the power again.
AR 1301 ON: An incorrect setting was detected in the PC Setup (DM 6615 to
DM 6644) when switching to RUN Mode. Correct the settings in PROGRAM Mode
and switch to RUN Mode again.
AR 1302 ON: An incorrect setting was detected in the PC Setup (DM 6645 to
DM 6655) during operation. Correct the settings and clear the error.
SCAN TIME OVER F8 Watchdog timer has exceeded 100 ms. (SR 25309 will be ON.)
This indicates that the program cycle time is longer than recommended. Reduce cycle
time if possible. (The CPM1 can be set so that this error won’t be detected.)
Communication None If an error occurs in communications through the peripheral port, the COMM indicator
Errors (no message) will be off. Check the connecting cables and restart. Check the error flags in AR 0812
ON.

5-3-2 Fatal Errors

PC operation and program execution will stop and all outputs from the PC will be

5-3-3 Identifying Errors

PC errors can be identified from error messages displayed on the Programming
Console, error flags in the SR or AR areas, and the error code in SR 25300 to
SR 25307.
Error Messages Error messages generated by the self-diagnosis function can be read from a
Programming Console or host computer running SYSMAC Support Software.
Error Flags When the self-diagnosis function detects a hardware error, it will turn on the cor-
responding error flags in the SR and AR areas.
Error Code When an error is detected by the self-diagnosis function, the corresponding
error code is written to SR 25300 to SR 25307. (The error code is an 2-digit hex-
adecimal code.)

5-3-4 User-defined Errors

There are three instructions that the user can use to define his own errors or
messages. FAL(06) causes a non-fatal error, FAL(07) causes a fatal error, and
MSG(46) sends a message to the Programming Console or host computer con-
nected to the PC.
FAILURE ALARM – FAL(06) FAL(06) is an instruction that causes a non-fatal error. The following will occur
when an FAL(06) instruction is executed:
1, 2, 3... 1. The ERR/ALM indicator on the CPU Unit will flash. PC operation will con-
tinue.
2. The instruction’s 2-digit BCD FAL number (01 to 99) will be written to
SR 25300 to SR 25307.
The FAL numbers can be set arbitrarily to indicate particular conditions. The
same number cannot be used as both an FAL number and an FALS number.
To clear an FAL error, correct the cause of the error and then execute FAL 00 or
clear the error using the Programming Console.

90
Programming Errors Section 5-5

SEVERE FAILURE ALARM – FALS(07) is an instruction that causes a fatal error. The following will occur when
FALS(07) an FALS(07) instruction is executed:

1, 2, 3... 1. Program execution will be stopped and outputs will be turned OFF.
2. The ERR/ALM indicator on the CPU Unit will be lit.
3. The instruction’s 2-digit BCD FALS number (01 to 99) will be written to
SR 25300 to SR 25307.
4. The FALS number and time of occurrence will be recorded in the PC’s error
log area if a Memory Cassette with a clock (RTC) is used.
The FALS numbers can be set arbitrarily to indicate particular conditions. The
same number cannot be used as both an FAL number and an FALS number.
To clear an FALS error, switch the PC to PROGRAM Mode, correct the cause of
the error, and then clear the error using the Programming Console.

MESSAGE – MSG(46) MSG(46) is used to display a message on the Programming Console. The mes-
sage, which can be up to 16 characters long, is displayed when the instruction’s
execution condition is ON.

5-4 Programming Console Operation Errors

The following error messages may appear when performing operations on the
Programming Console. Correct the error as indicated and continue with the
operation. Refer to the Ladder Support Software Operation Manual, SYSMAC
Support Software Operation Manual: C-series PCs, and Data Access Console
Operation Manual for errors that may appear when operating the SSS or a Data
Access Console.

Message Meaning and appropriate response

REPL ROM An attempt was made to write to write-protected memory. Set bits
00 to 03 of DM 6602 to “0.”
PROG OVER The instruction at the last address in memory is not NOP(00). Erase
all unnecessary instructions at the end of the program.
ADDR OVER An address was set that is larger than the highest memory address
in Program Memory. Input a smaller address.
SETDATA FALS 00 has been input, and “00” cannot be input. Reinput the
ERR data.
I/O NO. ERR A data area address has been designated that exceeds the limit of
the data area, e.g., an address is too large. Confirm the
requirements for the instruction and re-enter the address.

5-5 Programming Errors

These errors in program syntax will be detected when the program is checked
using the Program Check operation.
Three levels of program checking are available. The desired level must be des-
ignated to indicate the type of errors that are to be detected. The following table
provides the error types, displays, and explanations of all syntax errors. Check

91
Programming Errors Section 5-5

level 0 checks for type A, B, and C errors; check level 1, for type A and B errors;
and check level 2, for type A errors only.

Type Message Meaning and appropriate response

A ????? The program has been damaged, creating a non-existent

function code. Re-enter the program.
CIRCUIT ERR The number of logic blocks and logic block instructions
does not agree, i.e., either LD or LD NOT has been used
to start a logic block whose execution condition has not
been used by another instruction, or a logic block
instruction has been used that does not have the required
number of logic blocks. Check your program.
OPERAND A constant entered for the instruction is not within defined
ERR values. Change the constant so that it lies within the
proper range.
NO END There is no END(001) in the program. Write END(001) at
INSTR the final address in the program.
LOCN ERR An instruction is in the wrong place in the program. Check
instruction requirements and correct the program.
JME UNDEFD A JME(004) instruction is missing for a JMP(005)
instruction. Correct the jump number or insert the proper
JME(004) instruction.
DUPL The same jump number or subroutine number has been
used twice. Correct the program so that the same number
is only used once for each.
SBN UNDEFD The SBS(091) instruction has been programmed for a
subroutine number that does not exist. Correct the
subroutine number or program the required subroutine.
STEP ERR STEP(008) with a section number and STEP(008) without
a section number have been used incorrectly. Check
STEP(008) programming requirements and correct the
program.

B IL-ILC ERR IL(002) and ILC(003) are not used in pairs. Correct the
program so that each IL(002) has a unique ILC(003).
Although this error message will appear if more than one
IL(002) is used with the same ILC(003), the program will
executed as written. Make sure your program is written as
desired before proceeding.
JMP-JME ERR JMP(004) and JME(005) are not used in pairs. Make sure
your program is written as desired before proceeding.
SBN-RET ERR If the displayed address is that of SBN(092), two different
subroutines have been defined with the same subroutine
number. Change one of the subroutine numbers or delete
one of the subroutines. If the displayed address is that of
RET(093), RET(093) has not been used properly. Check
requirements for RET(093) and correct the program.

C COIL DUPL The same bit is being controlled (i.e., turned ON and/or
OFF) by more than one instruction (e.g., OUT, OUT NOT,
DIFU(13), DIFD(14), KEEP(11), SFT(10)). Although this is
allowed for certain instructions, check instruction
requirements to confirm that the program is correct or
rewrite the program so that each bit is controlled by only
one instruction.
JMP UNDEFD JME(005) has been used with no JMP(004) with the same
jump number. Add a JMP(004) with the same number or
delete the JME(005) that is not being used.
SBS UNDEFD A subroutine exists that is not called by SBS(091).
Program a subroutine call in the proper place, or delete
the subroutine if it is not required.

uploading The process of transferring a program or data from a lower-level or slave com-
puter to a higher-level or host computer. If a Programming Devices is involved,
the Programming Device is considered the host computer.

watchdog timer A timer within the system that ensures that the scan time stays within specified
limits. When limits are reached, either warnings are given or PC operation is
stopped depending on the particular limit that is reached.

WDT See watchdog timer.

word A unit of data storage in memory that consists of 16 bits. All data areas consists
of words. Some data areas can be accessed only by words; others, by either
words or bits.

word address The location in memory where a word of data is stored. A word address must
specify (sometimes by default) the data area and the number of the word that is
being addressed.

work area A part of memory containing work words/bits.

work bit A bit in a work word.

work word A word that can be used for data calculation or other manipulation in program-
ming, i.e., a ‘work space’ in memory. A large portion of the IR area is always
reserved for work words. Parts of other areas not required for special purposes
may also be used as work words.

write protect switch A switch used to write-protect the contents of a storage device, e.g., a floppy
disk. If the hole on the upper left of a floppy disk is open, the information on this
floppy disk cannot be altered.

write-protect A state in which the contents of a storage device can be read but cannot be
altered.
