Changes to CS-series Operating Specifications

Increased Points for SYSMAC BUS Remote I/O Communications
Using the Serial Gateway mode for the CPU Unit's serial port enables flexible
access to CompoWay/F-compatible OMRON components from devices on
the network (e.g., PTs, PLC CPU Units, personal computers)
The CX-Programmer can be used to save I/O comments and other com-
ment/section data in the comment memory contained in the CPU Unit's flash
memory.
Comment/section data in comment memory can be backed up using the sim-
ple backup function.
No-protocol communications can be performed via the serial ports of Serial
Communications Boards/Units with unit version 1.2 or later. This enables no-
protocol communications at multiple ports.
The system timers used after the power is turned ON are contained in Auxil-
iary Area words A000 and A001.
A000 is set to 0000 hex when the power is turned ON and this value is auto-
matically incremented by 1 every 10 ms. The value returns to 0000 hex after
reaching FFFF hex (655,350 ms), and then continues to be incremented in a
ring operation.
A001 is set to 0000 hex when the power is turned ON and automatically incre-
mented by 1 every 100 ms. The value returns to 0000 hex after reaching
FFFF hex (655,350 ms), and then continues to be incremented in a ring oper-
ation.
Example:The interval can be counted between processing A and processing
B without requiring timer instructions. This is achieved by calculating
the difference between the value in A000 for processing A and the
value in A000 for processing B. The interval is counted in 10 ms
units. With unit version 4.0 or later, the free running time is stored in
A002 in 1-s increments.
C-series ladder programs can be easily reused through the newly supported
model conversion instructions (XFERC(565), DISTC(566), COLLC(567),
MOVBC(568), and BCNTC(621)).
The maximum number of points for SYSMAC BUS remote I/O communica-
tions in the operating specifications has been expanded from 800 points (50
words) to 1,280 points (80 words). This change applies to all CS-series CPU
Units and Units using SYSMAC BUS remote I/O communications, including
previously manufactured Units. For details, refer to 1-5-7 Increased Points for
SYSMAC BUS Remote I/O Communications.
