GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
This manual explains specifications, handling, and operations of the A8PUE.
The A8PUE is a peripheral device that
is
used with the MELSEC-A series of
general-purpose programmable controtters. It can -read from and write to
sequence programs
in
a
MELSEC-A
series PC
CPU.
The A8PUE is also used for monitoring and Wsting devices. Follow the
procedures in this manual when using the A7PUS to perform program
I/O,
as
well as inspection and maintenance.
1.1
Features
(1) A2A(S1) and A3ACPU are supported
All
A2A(S1) and A3ACPU devices are supported.
(2) Expanded display area
The display area was expanded by using a back-lit LCD of
4
lines
x
20
character. Therefore,
inputting/editing/monitoring/testing
of sequence
programs can be easily executed.
(3) Easy key operations
Key operations are easier thanks to the Long key stroke.
(4)
Accessing another station's PC CPU is enabled
Writing, monitoring, and testing
of
sequence programs can be executed
from the station
to
which A8PUE is connected to another station (master
station/local station) on MELSECNET(II)/B.
(5)
Writing when the CPU is
in
the RUN state is enabled
If
the number of steps
in
a sequence program changes, the sequence
program can be changed when the CPU is
in
the RUN state.
(6)
Extensive help functions
Help functions for
reading/writing/inserting/deleting/monitoring/testing
operations in the menu selection format using dialog are supported.
(7)
Easier control of parameters and sequence programs
Checking, revising, changing, inserting, and monitoring of PC CPU
parameters and sequence programs is now easier.
