Before You Start

Installation
environment
Do not use the unit where it will be exposed to the following:
D Direct sunlight and ambient temperatures
outside the range of 0_C to 55_C/32_F to
131_F.
D Ambient humidity outside the range of 30% to
85% RH and sudden temperature changes
causing condensation.
D Inflammable or corrosive gas.
D Excessive vibration or shock.
D Excessive airborne dust or metal particles.
D Water in any form including spray or mist.
D Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other
organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions
such as ammonia or caustic soda.
D Influence from power transmission lines, high
voltage equipment, power cables, power
equipment, radio transmitters, or any other
equipment that would generate high switching
surges.
Static electricity
D In dry locations, excessive static electricity
can cause problems. Before touching the unit,
always touch a grounded piece of metal in
order to discharge static electricity.
Cleaning
D Do not use thinner–based cleaners because
they deform the unit case and cause the
colors to fade.
Power supplies
D An insulated power supply with an internal
protective circuit should be used. The power
supply for the FP0 control unit operation is a
non-insulated circuit, so if an incorrect
voltage is directly applied, the internal circuit
may be damaged or destroyed. If using a
power supply without a protective circuit,
power should be supplied through a
protective element such as a fuse.
Power supply
sequence
D Have the power supply sequence such that
the power supply of the FP0 control unit turns
OFF before the power supply for I/O.
D If the power supply for I/O is turned OFF
before the power supply of FP0 control unit,
the FP0 control unit will detect the input
fluctuations and may begin an unscheduled
operation.
Before turning
ON the power
When turning ON the power for the first time, be sure to take the
precautions given below.
D When carrying out assembly, check to make
sure that there are no scraps of wiring,
particularly conductive fragments, adhering to
the unit.
D Verify that the power supply wiring, I/O wiring,
and power supply voltage are all correct.
D Sufficiently tighten the installation screws and
terminal screws.
D Set the mode switch to PROG. mode.

1.3 Expansion with Units

Be sure to check that the units are added according to the restrictions below.

Notes
A maximum of three expansion I/O units, analog I/O units, or
I/O link units can be connected to one control unit.
Control unit First Second Third
(CPU) expansion unit expansion unit expansion unit

Maximum possible expansion: total of 3 units

There are no restrictions on the combination of different types

of control and expansion units.
A combination of relay output types and transistor output
types is also possible.
The expansion unit can be attached directly to the control unit
easily. Special expansion cables, backplanes, and so forth,
are unnecessary as the expansion unit employs a stacking
system that uses expansion connector and expansion hooks
on the surface of the unit itself.

2.1.1 Status Indicator LEDs

These LEDs display the current mode of operation or the occurrence of an error.

LED Description
RUN (green) Illuminates when in the RUN mode and indicates the execution of a program. It flashes during
forced input/output.
PROG. (green) Illuminates when in the PROG. mode and indicates that operation has stopped.
ERROR/ALARM Flashes when an error is detected during the self-diagnostic function. Illuminates if a
(red) hardware error occurs, or if operation slows because of the program, and the watchdog timer
is activated.

2.1.2 Mode Switch

This switch turns ON and OFF (RUN/PROG.) the operation of the FP0. The FP0 can
also be turned ON and OFF by the programming tool.

Switch position Operation mode

RUN (upward) This sets the RUN mode. The program is executed and operation begins.
PROG. (downward) This sets the PROG. mode.

When performing remote switching from the programming tool, the position of the mode
switch and the actual mode of operation may differ. Verify the mode with the status
indicator LED. Otherwise, restart the FP0 and change the mode of operation with the
mode switch.

2.1.3 Tool Port

Notes
1) When using the RS232C port for communication,
retransmission is recommended.
The driver IC for the RS232C port conforms completely to
EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V28 standards.
2) The combinations 1 phase
2 channels and 2 phases
1
channel are also possible for the high-speed counter.
3) For details and limitations on the high-speed counter, pulse
output, and PWM output functions. See FP0 Programming
Manual.
4) The max. counting speed (10kHz) is the counting speed with a
rated input voltage of 24V DC and an ambient temperature of
25°C/77°F. The counting speed (frequency) will decrease
depending on the voltage and temperature.
5) If the unit is equipped with both reset inputs X0 and X1, X2
serves as the reset input for X1. If X3 and X4 are used, X5
serves as the reset input for X4.
6) With control unit’s CPU that is Ver.2.0 or a subsequent
version, the frequency will be 0.15Hz to 1kHz.

Notes
1) No averaging: Conversion data is set for the specified input
contact point area for each A/D conversion, on each channel.
2) With averaging: On each channel, for each A/D conversion,
the maximum and minimum values from the data of the last
ten times are excluded, and the data from the other eight times
is averaged, and the result set (see page 4-17).
3) If a thermocouple setting is used, averaging is carried out,
regardless of the switch settings (see page 4-18).
4) After turning on the analog unit, 20 minutes are required for
the transient state to reach a measurement accuracy of 99%.
During this time, deviations of 10C can occur.

Also, the digital value that is sent to the DA converter IC to

achieve a voltage output of 0V is different from that input to
the DA converter IC to achieve a current output of 0mA.
As a result, if the voltage output is set to 0V, 10mA is output
from the current output terminal, and conversely, if the current

4.6 Boosting the Precision of the Thermocouple Range

When a high degree of precision is required, we recommend correcting the offset using
the program.

Measured value
K100 K107 K200 K207
Digital value (WX2)

In the above case, seven should be subtracted from the value of WX2.

Program example, FPWIN GR

R9010
F27 (–), WX2, K7, DT100

The value with the offset value of “7” subtracted is stored at DT100.

Program example, FPWIN Pro

Note
We recommend initiating correction using the offset value taken
approximately 5 minutes after power is turned ON in order to
take into consideration the heat generated by the unit itself.

FP0 I/O Link Unit (MEWNET–F) FP0 Hardware

5.1 FP0 I/O Link Unit (MEWNET–F)

The FP0 I/O Link Unit (MEWNET–F) works as the slave station of a Remote I/O System.
The FP0 I/O Link Unit exchanges I/O information with the Master Unit. Use a
two–conductor cable to connect the master unit and the FP0 I/O Link Unit. To connect
the FP0 I/O Link Unit to the FP0 Control Unit or FP0 Expansion Unit, use the expansion
connector. The FP0 I/O Link Unit functions as a buffer. The output from the master unit
is sent to the input of the FP0 through the FP0 I/O Link Unit. The output from the FP0
is sent to the input of the master unit from the FP0 I/O Link Unit. Be sure to connect the
FP0 I/O Link Unit with a master unit. Without a master station, the slave station
(including FP0 I/O Link Unit) will not work.

5.2 Precautions for Handling

In addition to the precautions taken for all FP0 components (see Before You Start),
adhere to the following:
When handling numerical data, have the FP0 I/O
Link Unit read the data twice because the unit does
! not guarantee the simultaneity of data.
Turn OFF the power when wiring the FP0 I/O Link
Unit or when adding an FP0 I/O Link Unit.
Be careful not to leave wire wastes inside the units
when wiring.
Do not touch the unit’s expansion connector with
your hand. This may result in a poor contact, and
the static electricity from your hand may damage the
components.
Do not bang or drop the FP0 I/O Link Unit as its case
is made of resin.
Keep the unit as far away as possible from
high–voltage or high–current cables, high tension
equipment, power generating equipment and radio
equipment.
Separate the wiring for the power supply lines and
the transmission lines in separate conduits. At the
very least they should be separated as far away
from each other as possible.

5.4 Using the FP0 I/O Link Unit

In this section, the operation mode, master unit and slave connections, the remote I/O
system communication error flag and I/O numbers are explained.

5.4.1 Operation Mode

The operation mode is set with the operating mode selection switch.

Terminal Station Selection

The terminal station is located at each end of the communication line. If it is not set up
properly, a communication error may occur. (For more details, see ACGM0028END,
REMOTE I/O SYSTEM.)

Communication Error Output Mode

If the communication error occurs in the Remote I/O System, the FP0 I/O Link Unit will
select either the “Output OFF” or “Output HOLD” mode. (In the case below, the output
of the FP0 I/O Link Unit is the output from the FP3 / FP10SH to the FP0. This is the input
for the FP0.) However, if system register No. 27 in the FP3 / FP10SH CPU is set to ”0”
and a communication error occurs with a slave station, the output mode will be set to
“Output OFF”.

5.4.2 Parallel Versus Serial Connection

In a parallel setup, the input and output of the FP0 are directly connected to the input
and output of the FP3/FP10SH, for example. I/O information can be exchanged
asynchronously between the FP3/FP10SH and the FP0.

FP3/FP10SH. Use a two–conductor cable to connect the FP3/FP10SH and the FP0 I/O
Link Unit. To connect the FP0 I/O Link Unit and the FP0 Control Unit or FP0 Expansion
Unit, use an expansion connector. The FP0 I/O Link Unit functions as a buffer. The

Notes
This flag indicates the state of the communication condition

communication error occurs at other slave stations while the
Master Unit’s operation mode switch No. 7 (communication
error operation mode) is set to ”0” (operation stop mode), this

FP0 I/O Link Unit (MEWNET–F) FP0 Hardware

Accordingly, the I/O number of the individual FP0 I/O Link Unit
identified by the FP3/FP10SH is determined by the base word
number of the Master Unit and the station number of the FP0
I/O Link Unit.
In the remote I/O map, the Input numbers are allocated first.
For example, in the drawing shown above, when the FP0 I/O
Link Unit of station no. 1 is connected to a Master Unit whose
base word number is 64, the input number from the
FP3/FP10SH to the FP0 I/O Link Unit is WX64 and 65 (X640 to
65F), and the output number is WY66 and 67 (Y660 to 67F).
When the FP0 I/O Link Unit of station no. 2 is connected in the
same manner, the input number from FP3/FP10SH to the FP0
I/O Link Unit is WX68 and 69 (X680 to 69F), and the output
number is WY70 and 71 (Y700 to 71F).
The relationship between the input/output of the FP3/FP10SH
and that of the FP0 from the illustration above is shown below:

For example, when the Y20 in the FP0 at station no. 1 turns
ON, the X640 in the FP3/FP10SH turns ON. When the Y660 in
the FP3/FP10SH turns ON, the X20 in the FP0 at station no. 1
turns ON. Similarly, when the Y20 in the FP0 at station no. 2
turns ON, the X680 in the FP3/FP10SH turns ON. When the
Y700 in the FP3/FP10SH turns ON, the X20 in the FP0 at
station no. 2 turns ON. In this way, the FP0 I/O Link Unit can
exchange I/O information between the FP3/FP10SH and the
FP0.

Wiring
Wiring FP0 Hardware

9.1 Safety Instructions

In certain applications, malfunction may occur for the following reasons:
Power ON timing differences between the FP0 control unit and I/O
or motorized devices
An operation time lag when a momentary power drop occurs
Abnormality in the FP0 unit, power supply circuit, or other devices
In order to prevent a malfunction resulting in system shutdown choose the adequate
safety circuits or other safety measures listed in the following:

9.1.1 Interlock Circuit

When a motor clockwise/counter-clockwise operation is controlled, provide an interlock
circuit that prevents clockwise and counter-clockwise signals from being input into the
motor at the same time.

9.1.2 Emergency Stop Circuit

Add an emergency stop circuit to controlled devices in order to prevent a system
shutdown or an irreparable accident when malfunction occurs.

9.1.3 Start Up Sequence

The FP0 should be operated after all of the outside devices are energized. To keep this
sequence, the following measures are recommended:
D Set the mode switch from PROG. mode to RUN mode after power is
supplied to all of the outside devices
D Program the FP0 so as to disregard the inputs and outputs until the
outside devices are energized

Note
When stopping the operation of FP0, also have the I/O devices
turned OFF after the FP0 has stopped operating.

9.1.4 Momentary Power Failures

If the duration of the power failure is less than 5ms, the FP0 continues to operate. If the
power is OFF for 5ms or longer, operation changes depending on the combination of
units, the power supply voltage, and other factors. (In some cases, operation may be
the same as that for a power supply reset.)
If operation is to be continued following recovery from the momentary power failure, use
an automatic retaining sequence program that uses a hold type internal relay.

9-2 Matsushita Electric Works (Europe) AG

FP0 Hardware 9.1 Safety Instructions

9.1.5 Protecting Power Supply and Output Sections

An insulated power supply with an internal protective circuit should be used. The power
supply for the control unit operation is a non-insulated circuit, so if an incorrect voltage
is directly applied, the internal circuit may be damaged or destroyed. If using a power
supply without a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective
element such as a fuse.
If current exceeding the rated control capacity is being supplied in the form of a motor
lock current or a coil shorting in an electromagnetic device, a protective element such
as a fuse should be attached externally.

Matsushita Electric Works (Europe) AG 9-3

Wiring FP0 Hardware

9.2 Wiring the Power Supply to the Control Unit

Use the power supply cable (AFP0581) that comes with the unit to connect the power
supply.

Notes
To minimize adverse effects from noise, twist the brown and
blue wires of the power supply cable.
To protect the system against erroneous voltage from the
power supply line, use an insulated power supply with an
internal protective circuit.
The regulator on the FP0 unit is a non-insulated type.
If using a power supply device without an internal protective
circuit, always make sure power is supplied to the unit
through a protective element such as a fuse.

The power supply sequence should be set up so that power to

the control unit is turned OFF before the input/output power
supplies.
If the input/output power supplies are turned OFF before the
power to the control unit, the FP0 control unit may detect a
drop in the input level, and malfunction.
Be sure to supply power to a control unit and an expansion
unit from the same power supply, and turn the power ON and
OFF simultaneously for both.

Wiring FP0 Hardware

9.3 Grounding
Under normal conditions, the inherent noise resistance is sufficient. However, in
situations of excess noise, ground the instrument to increase noise suppression.
For grounding purposes, use wiring with a minimum of 2mm2. The grounding
connection should have a resistance of less than 100W.

Other Other
FP0 device FP0 device

CORRECT

Notes
The point of grounding should be as close to the FP0 control
unit as possible. The ground wire should be as short as
possible.
If two devices share a single ground point, it may produce an
adverse effect. Always use an exclusive ground for each
device.
Depending on the surroundings in which the equipment is
used, grounding may cause problems.

Example:
Since the power supply line (24V DC and GND terminal) of the
FP0 power supply connector is connected to the frame ground
(F.G.) through a varistor, the varistor may be shorted out if
there is an irregular potential between the power supply line
(24V DC and GND) and ground.

Notes
Be sure to select the thickness (dia.) of the input wires while
taking into consideration the required current capacity.
Arrange the wiring so that the input and output wiring are
separated, and so that the input wiring is separated from the
power wiring, as much as possible. Do not route them through
the same duct or wrap them up together.
Separate the input wires from the power and high voltage
wires by at least 100mm/3.937in.

9.5 Output Wiring

Notes
There is no fuse protection built into the output circuit.
Therefore, in order to protect against overheating of the output
circuitry caused by possible short circuits, install an external
fuse at each point. However, in case of a short circuit, the
control unit itself may not be protected.
Be sure to select the thickness (dia.) of the output wires while
taking into consideration the required current capacity.
Arrange the wiring so that the input and output wiring are
separated, and so that the output wiring is separated from the
power wiring, as much as possible. Do not route them through
the same duct or wrap them up together.
Separate the output wires from the power and high voltage
wires by at least 100mm/3.937in.
Protect the outputs as described below.

9.5.1 Protective Circuit for Inductive Loads

With an inductive load, a protective circuit should be installed in parallel with the load.
When switching DC inductive loads with FP0 relay output type, be sure to connect a
diode across the ends of the load.

11.3 Error Codes

11.3.1 Total-Check Function

When the ERROR/ALARM LED on the FP0 control unit is blinking, a self-diagnostic
error or syntax check error has occured. Verify the contents of the error and take the
appropriate steps.
Procedure: Error confirmation
1. Use the programming tool to call up the error code
See page 11-3.
2. Check the error contents in the error code list of section
11.3.2 and 11.3.3 using the error code ascertained above.

11.3.1.1 Syntax Check Error

This is an error detected by the total-check function when there is a syntax error or
incorrect setting written in the program. When the mode switch of control unit is switched
to the RUN mode, the total-check function automatically activates and eliminates the
possibility of incorrect operation from syntax check errors in the program.

When a syntax check error is detected

ERROR/ALARM LED begins blinking.
Operation will not begin even after switching to the RUN mode.
Remote operation cannot be used to change to RUN mode.

Clearing a syntax error

By changing to the PROG. mode, the error will clear and the ERROR/ALARM LED will
turn OFF.

Steps to take for syntax error

Change to PROG. mode, and then execute the total-check function
while on-line with the programming tool connected. This will call up
the error contents and the address at which the error occurred.
Correct the program while referring to the error contents.

11.3.1.2 Self-Diagnostic Error

This error occurs when the contoller’s self-diagnostic function detects the occurence of
an abnormality in the system. The self-diagnostic function monitors the memory
abnormal detection, I/O abnormal detection, and other devices.

When the self-diagnostic error occurs

ERROR/ALARM LED begins blinking.

11-10 Matsushita Electric Works (Europe) AG

FP0 Hardware 11.3 Error Codes

The operation of the controller might stop depending on the

content of error and the system resistor setting.
The error codes will be stored in the special data resister DT9000.
In the case of operation error, the error address will be stored in
the DT9017 and DT9018.

Clearing the self-diagnostic error

See page 11-3.
Errors can also be cleared by turning OFF an ON the power.
However, memory contents not stored with the hold type data will
also be cleared.
The error can also be cleared depending on the self-diagnostic
error set instruction F148(ERR).

Steps to take for self-diagnostic error

The steps to be taken will differ depending on the error contents. For more details, use
the error code obtained above and see page 11-12.

11.3.2 Syntax Check Error Codes

Error Name of error Operation Description and steps to take

code status
E1 Syntax error Stops A program with a syntax error has been written.
(SYNTAX)
Change to PROG. mode and correct the error.
E2 Duplicated Stops Two or more OT(Out) instructions and KP(Keep) instructions are
output error programmed using the same relay.
(DUP USE)
This error also occurs if you have the same timer/counter numbers.
Correct the program so that one relay is not used for two or more
OT(Out) instructions and KP(Keep) instructions. Or, set the double
output to “K1: enable” in system register 20.
E3 Not paired error Stops For instructions which must be used in a pair such as jump (JP and
(PAIR) LBL), one instruction is either missing or in an incorrect position.
Change to PROG. mode and enter the two instructions which must
be used in a pair in the correct positions.
E4 System register Stops An instruction has been written which does not agree with system
parameter error register settings. For example, the number specification in a program
(Mismatch) does not agree with the timer/counter range setting.
Change to PROG. mode, check the system register settings, and
adjust so that the settings and the program agree.
E5 Program area Stops An instruction which must be written to a specific area (main program
error (PRG area or subprogram area) has been written to a different area (for
AREA) example, a subroutine SUB to RET is placed before an ED
instruction).
Change to PROG. mode and enter the instruction into the correct
area.

System Registers FP0 Hardware

A.1 System Registers

System registers are used to set values (parameters) which determine operation
ranges and functions used. Set values based on the use and specifications of your
program.
There is no need to set system registers for functions which will not be used.
The explanations in this chapter often utilize NPST–GR conventions. When using
FPWIN Pro for programming, please note these slight differences:
Hexadecimal values are represented by the prefix 16# and not H.
Decimal values do not require a K prefix.

Moreover in FPWIN Pro, there is an “Additional Information” column for each System
Register that briefly explains its use.

A.1.1 Types of System Registers

Allocation of timers and counters (System register 5)
The number of timers and counters is set by specifying the leading counter number.
Hold types and non–hold type settings (System register 6 to 8 and 14)
With the FP0, the areas held in the event of a power supply interruption are fixed, and
the settings for system register 6 to 8 and 14, will be invalid.
Operation mode settings for errors (System register 20, 23 ,26 and 27)
Set the operation mode effective when errors such as duplicated use of output,
operation, and I/O verification errors occur.
Time settings (System register 31 and 34)
Set the time–out error detection time and the constant scan time.
Input settings (System register 400 to 403)
When using the high–speed counter function, pulse catch function or interrupt function,
set the operation mode and the input number to be used as a special input.
Tool port settings (System register 410, 411 and 414)
Set the tool port parameters when computer link will be used.
RS232C port settings (System register 412 to 418)
Only applicable for unit with RS232C port.
Modem connection setting (System register 411)
Set to ”Modem connection” when the tool port will be used for modem communication.

A.1.2 Checking and Changing System Register Settings

System register values (parameters) can be set with decimal or hexadecimal constants.
If you are going to use a value which is already set (the value which appears when read),
there is no need to write it again.

Procedure:
1. Set the mode of the FP0 control unit to PROG.
2. Project Navigator –> PLC –> System Register.
3. To change a set value, write the new value as indicated in
the system register table.
4. Go Online by clicking the Online button or selecting Online
mode under Online.
5. Download Project
Online –> Download Program Code and PLC Configuration. This
downloads the project and the system registers. To download system
registers only: Online –> PLC Configuration –> activate System Registers
box –> Download to PLC

Using NPST-GR software Ver. 4

Procedure:
1. Set the mode of the FP0 control unit to PROG.
2. Select the “1. SYSTEM REGISTER” in “PLC
CONFIGURATION” option from the NPST menu.
3. Select the function to be set in the “1. SYSTEM REGISTER”

4. To change the set value, press the <CLR (clear)> key and
write the new value as indicated in the system register
table.

A.1.3 Precautions When Setting System Registers

System register settings are effective from the time they are set. However, input, Tool
port, RS232C port, and modem connection settings become effective when the mode

Matsushita Electric Works (Europe) AG A-3

System Registers FP0 Hardware

is changed from PROG. to RUN. With regard to the modem connection setting, when
the power is turned on or when the mode is changed from PROG. to RUN, the controller
sends a command to the modem which enables it for reception.
When the initialized operation is performed, all set system register values (parameters)
will be initialized.

A.1.4 Content of System Register Settings

Setting the timers and counters (System register 5)
By indicating the counter start number, the timer and counter are split into two areas.
The timer and counter together total 144 points, and the default value for the split is 100.
Thus the point allotment is as shown in the table below.

Timer 100 points (No. 0 to No. 99)

Counter 44 points (No. 100 to No. 143)

Setting example
To increase the number of timers to 120, change the value of system register 5 to K120.
MIN (0): All counter
0

Timer Set value < n

Set Counter size increases

value: n
Set value > n

144 MAX (144): All timer

Hold types and non–hold type settings (System registers 6 to 8 and 14)
With the FP0, the areas held in the event of a power supply interruption are fixed at the
areas shown in the table below, and the settings for system registers 6 to 8 and 14, will
be invalid.

C.1 Special Data Registers

The special data registers are one word (16-bit) memory areas which store specific
information. With the exception of registers for which “Writing is possible” is indicated
in the “Description” column, these registers cannot be written to.
The explanations in this chapter often utilize FPWIN GR conventions. When using
FPWIN Pro for programming, please note these slight differences:
Hexadecimal values are represented by the prefix 16# and not H.
Decimal values do not require a K prefix.
