10: ANALOG CARTRIDGE
This chapter provides an overview of the analog cartridges, their specifications, and also describes analog parameter settings and
configuration methods.
Analog Cartridge Overview
This section provides an overview of the analog cartridges and describes the compatible cartridge slots.
Analog cartridges are used to expand the analog inputs or analog outputs. They are available in the analog input type and the
analog output type. The analog input type is called the analog input cartridge, and the analog output type is called the analog
output cartridge. The analog data and analog status of the analog cartridge is stored in special data registers. For details, see "(5)
Data" on page 10-6.
To use an analog cartridge, it must be configured in the Module Configuration Editor. For detailed configuration methods, see
"Expansion Module and Cartridge Settings" on page 12-1. For details on the analog parameter settings, see "Analog Parameter
Settings" on page 10-4.
Cartridge Slots
The CPU module is equipped with a maximum of two cartridge slots that are used to install the analog cartridges. The FC6A Series
MicroSmart can be expanded with a maximum of four analog inputs or analog outputs by installing a maximum of two analog
cartridges.
Furthermore, the FC6A Series MicroSmart can be expanded with a maximum of two analog inputs or analog outputs by connecting
the HMI module to the left side of the CPU module and installing an analog cartridge.
For example, when the HMI module is connected to the 40-I/O type, the FC6A Series MicroSmart can be expanded with a
maximum of six analog inputs or analog outputs by installing a maximum of three analog cartridges.
Select the analog cartridges for the connected devices and configure the signal type.
