 1 OVERVIEW
The C Controller module is a CPU module developed based on the multi-core ARM and capable of executing multiple
programs simultaneously. Featuring both robustness and timing accuracy, the C Controller module can serve as an alternative
platform to personal computers or MCUs. Moreover, the fanless design adopted by the C Controller module, which prevents
the spread of dust, is most suitable for use in a clean environment such as a microchip factory. Taking advantage of the
excellent features of the MELSEC iQ-R series, such as high performance, flexibility, and robustness, the C Controller module
realizes automation systems for a variety of industrial uses.

1.1 Features of the C Controller Module

Easy access to programmable controller devices with dedicated functions

Applications for handling programmable controllers, such as access to the C Controller module, I/O module, intelligent
function module, network module, programmable controller CPU, and Motion CPU, can be created by using dedicated
functions.
There are four types of dedicated functions: the CCPU/CITL functions, QBF functions, ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) QBF
functions, and MD functions.

High-speed calculation realized by using function libraries

Processing that is difficult to achieve with a ladder program, such as FFT operations and digital filter operations used for
vibration analysis and other processes, can be used as a function library.
Using this data analysis library, data analysis and judgment processing can be realized easily.
In addition, calculation can be performed at speeds higher than when the programmable controller CPU is used.

Easy connection with peripherals

Compatible with SLMP (MC protocol), which is a predefined protocol for programmable controllers, the C Controller module
can read from/write to devices via the Ethernet ports.
Regardless of the communication destination device, data communications can be performed by the same communication
method from an external device. In addition, the R12CCPU-V is compatible with CC-Link IE Field Network Basic as well.
CC-Link IE Field Network Basic is a network that can realize cyclic transmission by just implementing software, which allows
various peripherals to be connected easily.

Checking made easy with LED indications

Without a personal computer, debugging, machine operating status check, and primary diagnostics when an error occurs can
be performed easily by checking LED indications.
The dot matrix LED can display letters and symbols as well.

Easy maintenance without the need for battery replacement

Battery replacement is not required because MRAM (magnetoresistive random access memory) is adopted. Time and efforts
associated with battery replacement can be saved, such as the recording of replacement dates, maintenance plan
management, and the checking of ERR LED notifying a battery voltage drop.

Unauthorized access prevention by limiting access and setting account lockout

The C Controller Setting and Monitor Tool, FTP, login user for connection using telnet, and account lockout can be configured.
In addition, by setting access rights (read/write/execute) to each login user, a role such as the administrator and field operator
can be set on a login user basis to prevent unauthorized access.

8 1.1 Features of the C Controller Module
Security improved by stopping connection services
The states of services operating in the C Controller module can be set.
1
Whether to enable/disable services can be set with the C Controller Setting and Monitor Tool parameter setting to improve
security.

Polling processing for waiting for processing completion not required

Event driven programming, which is common for MCUs/personal computers, is available.
CPU load reduction and high-speed response processing are realized because there is no need to wait for a processing
completion signal from a module.

Load distribution realized by executing two tasks simultaneously

Two tasks can be executed simultaneously because a dual-core CPU is installed.
Since an interrupt service routine and a task can be executed simultaneously as well, CPU load distribution can be realized.

MODULES
5.1 Intelligent Function Modules

Types of intelligent function modules

An intelligent function module is a module that can realize functions that cannot be provided by or whose applications are
limited in use for the C Controller module.
Therefore, intelligent function modules with functions required for specific purposes can be selected for use.
The C Controller module can use MELSEC iQ-R series intelligent function modules.
The following table lists examples of modules.
Name Number of occupied I/O points Function Internal current 5
consumption (5VDC)
Analog-digital converter module 16 points (I/O assignment: intelligent 16 0 to 20mADC  0 to 32000 0.22A

92 5.2 Exchange of Information between Intelligent Function Modules and the C Controller Module
I/O signals for the C Controller module
Of signals sent/received between the C Controller module and intelligent function modules, those in units of bits use input and
output X, Y.
X, Y here are different from external input and output, and used for sequence programs as signals specific to the intelligent
function module. Note that for I/O numbers, numbers assigned according to the mounting position of the intelligent function
module are used.

Input signal X from the intelligent function module

X used in a program refers to a signal to be input from the intelligent function module to the C Controller module and
originates from the intelligent function module side. In a program, as bit information for checking the module status, this signal
is read by calling the bus interface function (CCPU_X_In_BitEx() or CCPU_X_In_WordEx()).

For example, input signals from an analog-digital converter module are as follows.
• Ready signal
This signal inputs the information that the intelligent function module operates normally and is ready to the CPU when the
power is turned on.
• A/D conversion completion flag
This signal is turned on when conversion is completed at all the conversion enabled channels. When reading a digital
output value, this signal is used as an interlock.

Output signal Y to the intelligent function module

This signal is output to the intelligent function module by calling the bus interface function (CCPU_Y_Out_BitEx() or
CCPU_Y_Out_WordEx()) and originates from the C Controller module side.

 Data communication with an intelligent function module
Data is sent/received in units of 16 bits or 32 bits. The intelligent function module has buffer memory to store data.

Write C Controller module

Memory map example: Digital-analog converter module R60DA4

• Data can be read from/written to the buffer memory by calling the C Controller module dedicated function
(CCPU_FromBuf() or CCPU_ToBuf()).
• The buffer memory has an address specific to each intelligent function module for each word (short type (16 bits)).
The addresses of the buffer memory start from 0, and data is read/written by specifying them. The minimum unit of
measurement is 1 word. 17 to 32-bit data is handled by using 2 words (32 bits).
The following figure shows an example of 16 bits for the digital-analog converter module; the digital quantity is written from
the CPU. In the contents, a digital value of -32000 to 32000 is set using 16-bit signed binary data.

Analog input voltage
Input voltage

The analog-digital converter module converts analog inputs from outside into digital quantities to make arithmetic operation by
the CPU possible. For voltage input, when -10V is input, a digital quantity of -32000 is output, and when 10V is input, 32000 is
output. Therefore, an input of 312.5V is equivalent to a digital quantity of 1, and a value smaller than 312.5V, which cannot
be converted, is discarded.

For current input, when 0mA is input, 0 is output, and when 20mA is input, 32000 is output. 625nA is equivalent to a digital
quantity of 1, and a value smaller than 625nA, which cannot be converted, is discarded.

A voltage/current value equivalent to the digital value 1 in A/D conversion (maximum resolution) differs
depending on the input range setting.

 Buffer memory area assignment
Two types are available: R mode, in which the module operates according to the map of the buffer memory areas newly
assigned by the MELSEC iQ-R series, and Q compatible mode, in which the module operates by converting the buffer
memory map into an equivalent of the buffer memory map of the MELSEC-Q series.
Below are lists of buffer memory addresses when the R mode is used.
For details, refer to the following.
 MELSEC iQ-R Analog-Digital Converter Module User's Manual (Application)

Of all the buffer memory areas, do not write data to system areas and areas whose data type is monitor. If
data is written to them, malfunction may occur.

Digital input value
Digital input
The digital-analog converter module converts digital quantities output from the CPU into analog values to output them
externally. When a digital quantity of -32000 is input, -10V is output, and when a digital quantity of 32000 is input, 10V is
output. Therefore, the digital input value 1 is equivalent to the analog amount 312.5V, and a digital input smaller than 1
cannot be converted.

For current output, 0 is converted to 0mA, and 32000 is converted to 20mA. The digital input value 1 is equivalent to the
analog amount 625nA, and a digital input smaller than 1 cannot be converted.

A voltage/current value equivalent to the digital value 1 in D/A conversion (maximum resolution) differs
depending on the input range setting.

Buffer memory area assignment
Two types are available: R mode, in which the module operates according to the map of the buffer memory areas newly
assigned by the MELSEC iQ-R series, and Q compatible mode, in which the module operates by converting the buffer
memory map into an equivalent of the buffer memory map of the MELSEC-Q series.
Below are lists of buffer memory addresses when the R mode is used.
For details, refer to the following.
 MELSEC iQ-R Digital-Analog Converter Module User's Manual (Application)

Of all the buffer memory areas, do not write data to system areas and areas whose data type is monitor. If
data is written to them, malfunction may occur.

Digital output value". The R60AD4 receives an analog
input value from the A/D INPUT of the demonstration
machine at CH1, converts it through A/D conversion,
and stores a digital output value to the address
U0\G400 of its own buffer memory. This item indicates
the current value of the above digital output value.
Operate the input volume tab for the A/D INPUT of the
demonstration machine to check that the digital output
value changes according to the A/D conversion
characteristics of the R60AD.

 Exercise 2.2 Loading an A/D conversion output value into the HMI
The A/D INPUT of the demonstration machine is converted through A/D conversion using the R60AD4, and its digital output
value is loaded and displayed in the display device D1 of the HMI.

Operating procedure
1. Start up CW Workbench and newly create a project named "enshu2". ( Page 58 Creating a project)
A workspace does not need to be set again because the workspace is the same as the one set in exercise 1.

2. Copy the program enshu2_2.c to the project folder C:\CCPU_CWW_Prj\enshu\enshu2 to add it to the project. (
Page 66 Procedure for adding a program)

3. Rebuild enshu2_2.c in debug mode. ( Page 67 Generating a module for execution)

4. Connect the C Controller module and CW Workbench. ( Page 72 Connecting and disconnecting)

5. Debug the created program to check if it operates correctly. ( Page 73 Debugging the user program)

6. Rebuild the program enshu2_2.c that underwent debugging by canceling the debug mode, and store the created user
program on the C Controller module. ( Page 80 Registering a module for execution)

7. Create a script and store it in the C Controller module. ( Page 80 Registering a module for execution)
[Script details]
Load a program: ld (1, 0, "/0/enshu2.out")

 Exercise 2.3 Outputting a value in the HMI through D/A
conversion
The R60DA4 converts a value of the input device D21 of the demonstration machine as a digital value through D/A
conversion, and outputs a value as a D/A OUTPUT voltage output when M3 is turned on.

Operating procedure
1. Copy the program enshu2_3.c to the project folder C:\CCPU_CWW_Prj\enshu\enshu2 to add it to the project. (
Page 66 Procedure for adding a program)

2. Rebuild enshu2_3.c in debug mode. ( Page 67 Generating a module for execution)

3. Connect the C Controller module and CW Workbench. ( Page 72 Connecting and disconnecting)

4. Debug the created program to check if it operates correctly. ( Page 73 Debugging the user program)

5. Rebuild the program enshu2_3.c that underwent debugging by canceling the debug mode, and store the created user
program on the C Controller module. ( Page 80 Registering a module for execution)

6. Create a script and store it in the C Controller module. ( Page 80 Registering a module for execution)

Appendix 1 Security Functions
These functions serve to protect the user property stored in a personal computer and the user property inside the C Controller
module in the MELSEC iQ-R series system against threats such as theft, tampering, faulty operation, and unauthorized
execution due to the unauthorized access by an outsider.
Use an appropriate security function according to the purpose.

Each security function is just one means of preventing unauthorized access (such as destruction of programs
or data) from external devices, but does not prevent it completely. To maintain the safety of the C Controller
system against unauthorized access from external devices, include measures in addition to the security
functions. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation cannot be held responsible for any problems involving system
trouble that may occur as a result of unauthorized access.
The following are examples of measures against unauthorized access.
• Install a firewall.
• Install a personal computer as a relay station to control the relaying of send/receive data using an
application program.
• Install an external device that can control access rights as a relay station. (For details on external devices
that can control access rights, contact the network service provider or equipment dealer.)

Individual identification information

The individual identification information of the C Controller module can be read with the C Controller module dedicated
function (CCPU_GetIDInfo). By implementing the activation function in a user program, a user program that does not operate A
in a C Controller module with different individual identification information can be created.
For details on C Controller module dedicated functions, refer to the following.

 File access restriction
A file attribute can be set to a file stored in the following types of memory. When a file attribute is set, access to the target file
can be restricted, and alteration and file leakage by an unauthorized user can be prevented.
• Program memory
• Data memory
• SD memory card
• USB Mass Storage Class compatible device

• When an SD memory card and USB Mass Storage Class compatible device are mounted on a device other
than the C Controller module (a peripheral such as a personal computer), an access restricted file can be
manipulated. When access restriction is set to a file in an SD memory card and USB Mass Storage Class
compatible device, take measures so that the SD memory card and USB Mass Storage Class compatible
device cannot be removed from the C Controller module freely.
• Access restriction cannot be applied to folders.

Setting file access restriction

Use the attrib() command to change the attribute of a file to be handled by the C Controller module. To change the file
attribute, the security password is required.

■Setting a file attribute

Use the attrib() command to set a file attribute to the file to be restricted.
The following table shows the file attributes the C Controller module can handle.
Attribute Description
S System file attribute This attribute helps prohibit file operation.
R Read only attribute*1 This attribute helps prohibit a file from being deleted or written to.
H Hidden file attribute* 2 A file is hidden when files are displayed in list form using the ls command and when FTP connection is
performed.

*1 Not covered by the file access restriction function. However, when this file attribute is set, deleting or writing to a file can be prohibited.
*2 A file can be manipulated when it is opened by specifying the file name. To prohibit manipulation of a file, the system file attribute must
be set.

■Checking the file attribute

Use the attrib() command to check the set file attribute.
S R H

H: Indicates that the hidden file attribute is assigned.

Empty: Indicates that the hidden file attribute is not assigned.

R: Indicates that the read file attribute is assigned.

Empty: Indicates that the read file attribute is not assigned.

S: Indicates that the system file attribute is assigned.

Empty: Indicates that the system file attribute is not assigned.

132 Appendix 1 Security Functions
Checking the file access restriction status
The file access restriction status can be checked with the Shell command or the C Controller module dedicated function
(CCPU_GetFileSecurity).

The file access restriction status cannot be checked from the script file (STARTUP.CMD).

Clearing/re-setting file access restriction

The file access restriction status is changed using the Shell command, script file (STARTUP.CMD), or user program. In
addition, to change the file access restriction, the security password set with CW Configurator is required.

■Changing the system file attribute

For operation to be performed on a file with the system file attribute, use the C Controller module dedicated function
(CCPU_ChangeFileSecurity) to temporarily clear the file access restriction. The cleared setting is configured again by setting
file access restriction with the C Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_ChangeFileSecurity) or re-setting the C
Controller module.

• To access a file with the system file attribute in the script file "STARTUP.CMD", clear the access restriction
inside the script file. In that case, to prevent password leakage, assign the system file attribute to the script
file.
• To prevent password leakage, do not use a file with the system file attribute in the script file
(STARTUP.CMD) in an SD memory card.

Precautions
■When safety must be maintained from unauthorized access from outside
To maintain the safety of the C Controller system from unauthorized access from outside, include measures taken by the user. A
To prevent security password leakage, set a password with the following in mind.
• Avoid setting a password using only simple one-byte alphanumeric characters.
• Set a complex password that also includes symbols.

■Characters that can be used for a security password

One-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used. (Passwords are case-sensitive.)

■If the security password is forgotten

Initialize the C Controller module.
For details on the initialization procedure, refer to the following.

Lockout
Disables the password authentication for a certain duration of time after a certain number of failed authentication attempts.
Brute-force attacks by malicious users can be prevented.

Lockout time
The following table lists the durations of the lockout times.
Number of password input errors*1 Lockout time
1st time to 5th time 0 minutes
6th time 1 minute
7th time 5 minutes
8th time 15 minutes A
9th time or later 60 minutes

*1 When the correct password is entered, the number of password input errors is reset.

• While lockout is active, a password input error is not counted. For that reason, even if a 7th input error
occurs within one minute after the occurrence of the 6th error, the one minute lockout time is not extended.
• Lockout is not executed if security is set with the C Controller module dedicated function
(CCPU_ChangeFileSecurity).

 Appendix 2 Modules for Realizing Higher-Speed
Analog I/O Conversion
This section describes modules for realizing higher-speed analog I/O conversion.

High-speed analog input module R60ADH4

The high-speed analog input module can perform A/D conversion at high-speed: 1s/CH, medium speed: 10s/CH, and low
speed: 20s/CH per sampling period in normal mode. In addition, the simultaneous conversion mode, which makes
simultaneous conversion at four channels per module possible, is available and supports sampling at the fastest speed of
5s/4CH. Also available is the continuous logging function, which can log digital output values for four channels
simultaneously and transfer logged data to the CPU module continuously without stopping logging.

High-speed analog output module R60DAH4

For the high-speed analog output module, high-speed conversion (1s) improves the analog output response performance.
This realizes highly responsive feedback control in systems such as drive systems that perform speed control with analog
commands.
