Functions Listed by Usage Section 1-4
Interrupt functions Execute a special process very quickly
when an input goes ON.
(For example, operating a cutter when an
interrupt input is received from a Proximity
Switch or Photoelectric Switch.)
Interrupt input (interrupt input mode) W353
Count input ON pulses and execute a spe-
cial process very quickly when the count
reaches the preset value.
(For example, stopping the supply feed
when a preset number of workpieces have
passed through the system.)
Interrupt input (counter mode)
Execute a special process at a preset count
value.
(For example, cutting material very pre-
cisely at a given length.)
High-speed counter interrupt gener-
ated when the count matches the set
value.
Execute a special process when the count
is within a preset range.
(For example, sorting material very quickly
when it is within a given length range.)
High-speed counter interrupt gener-
ated when the count is within the set
range.
Execute a special process when a timer
times out.
(For example, stopping a conveyor at very
precise time (independent of the cycle time)
after the workpiece is detected.)
Interval timer interrupt
(One-shot mode)
Repeat a special process at regular inter-
vals.
(For example, the speed of a sheet feeder
can be monitored by measuring the input
signal from an encoder at regular intervals
and calculating the speed.)
Interval timer interrupt
(Scheduled interrupt mode)
Perform simple positioning by outputting pulses to a motor driver that
accepts pulse-train inputs.
Pulse output function
Receive an analog input and output an analog output. Analog I/O Unit
(Connect the Analog I/O Unit to the
CPU Unit.)
Receive temperature sensor input directly at the PC. Temperature Sensor Unit
(Connect the Temperature Sensor Unit
to the CPU Unit.)
Reduce required wiring, space, and PC load by controlling equipment
with a few low-capacity PCs dispersed near the equipment rather than a
single, large, centralized PC.
(Create a remote I/O link with a CompoBus/S Master and CompoBus/S
Slaves.)
CompoBus/S I/O Link Unit
(Connect the CompoBus/S I/O Link
Unit to the CPU Unit.)
Obtain data from SYSWAY-compatible temperature controllers, digital
panel meters, or CompoWay/F-compatible general-purpose communi-
cations components.
Simple Communications Unit
(Connect the Simple Communications
Unit to the CPU Unit.)
