Page 40: Chapter2 Sequence Programs
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2.1 Sequence Program Overview (1) Definition Sequence program is one of the programs that can be executed in the CPU module. A sequence program consists of instructions, such as sequence instructions, basic instruction, and application instruction.
Page 41 (2) Programming method There are two programming modes for sequence programs. Ladder mode • List mode • (a) Ladder mode Ladder mode is a mode based on the concept of sequential control by relay circuits. A program in ladder mode is similar to a schematic for a set of relay circuits. Programming in units of ladder blocks is available.
Page 42: Sequence Program Configuration
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (3) Sequence program operation A sequence program is sequentially operated from the step 0 to the END or FEND instruction. In ladder mode, a sequence program is operated from left to right and top to bottom in a ladder block. [Ladder mode] [List mode] From left to right...
Page 43: Main Routine Program
2.2.1 Main routine program (1) Definition Main routine program is an entire program from the step 0 to the END or FEND instruction. (2) Program operation A main routine program executes its operations from the step 0 to the END or FEND instruction and then performs END processing.
Page 44: Subroutine Program
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2.2.2 Subroutine program (1) Definition Subroutine program is a program from a pointer (P ) to the RET instruction. This program is executed only when it is called by a subroutine program call instruction (such as CALL(P), FCALL(P)) from a main routine program. (2) Application •...
Page 45 2.2.3 Interrupt program (1) Definition Interrupt program is a program from an interrupt pointer (I ) to the IRET instruction. Main routine program Indicates the end of the main routine FEND program. Interrupt program (I0) IRET Interrupt program (I29) IRET Interrupt pointer Figure 2.7 Interrupt program The interrupt factor varies depending on the interrupt pointer (I ) number.
Page 46 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS Only one interrupt program can be created with one interrupt pointer number. FEND Interrupt program (I0) IRET Interrupt program (I29) IRET Remark For details of the interrupt factors and interrupt pointers, refer to Section 9.11. (2) Programming of interrupt programs (a) Programming location Create interrupt programs between the FEND and END instructions in the main routine program.
Page 47 (b) Programming order When creating multiple interrupt programs, it is not necessary to set the interrupt pointer numbers in ascending order. (c) Before executing an interrupt program Before executing the interrupt programs of the interrupt pointers I0 to I15, I28 to I31, I45, and I50 to I255, enable interrupts with the EI instruction.
Page 48 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (3) Operation when an interrupt factor occurs There are restrictions on interrupt programs depending on the interrupt factor occurrence timing. (a) When an interrupt factor occurs before the interrupt program execution status is enabled The CPU module stores the interrupt factor occurred. As soon as the interrupt program execution status is enabled, the CPU module executes the interrupt program corresponding to the stored interrupt factor.
Page 49 (c) When multiple interrupt factors occur simultaneously in the interrupt program execution enabled status The interrupt programs are executed in the order of interrupt pointers (I ) with high priority. Section 9.11.1) Other interrupt programs have to wait until processing of the interrupt program being executed is completed.
Page 50 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (e) When an interrupt factor occurs during link refresh The link refresh is suspended and an interrupt program is executed. Even if the Block data assurance per station setting is enabled in the CC-Link IE controller network or MELSECNET/H network, this setting does not work when a device set as a refresh target is used in the interrupt program.
Page 51 (4) Processing at program execution type change When the program execution type is changed from the scan execution type to the interrupt, the CPU module saves and restores the following data. ( Section 9.6.3) • Data in the index register •...
Page 52: Settings When Program Is Divided
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2.3 Settings When Program is Divided When one sequence program is divided into multiple programs, execution conditions, such as executing a program only once at start-up or executing a program at fixed intervals, can be set for each program. (1) Application The CPU module can store multiple programs divided on the basis of each control unit.

Powered off on/STOP Executed only once when Initial execution the CPU module is powered type program on or its status is switched from STOP to RUN.
Page 56: Initial Execution Type Program
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2.3.1 Initial execution type program (1) Definition Initial execution type program is executed only once when the CPU module is powered on or its operating status is changed from STOP to RUN. This type of program can be used as a program that need not be executed from the next scan and later once it is executed, like initial processing to an intelligent function module.
Page 57 (b) Initial scan time Initial scan time is the execution time of initial execution type program. When multiple programs are executed, the initial scan time will be the time required for completing all the initial execution type program execution. 1) Initial scan time storage location The CPU module measures the initial scan time and stores it into the special register (SD522 and SD523).
Page 58 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS Initial execution monitoring time setting Initial execution monitoring time is a timer for monitoring initial scan time. Set a time value in the PLC RAS tab of the PLC parameter dialog box. The setting range is 10 to 2000ms (in increments of 10ms). No default value is set.

2.3.2 Scan execution type program (1) Definition Scan execution type program is executed once in every scan, starting in the next scan of which the initial execution type program is executed and later. STOP Power supply ON 1st scan 2nd scan 3rd scan 4th scan END processing...
Page 60: Stand-By Type Program
CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2.3.3 Stand-by type program (1) Definition Stand-by type program is executed only when its execution is requested. This type of program can be changed to any desired execution type by a sequence program instruction. (2) Application (a) Program library Stand-by type program is used as a program library, a collection of subroutine programs and/or interrupt programs, and managed separately from a main routine program.
Page 61 (3) Execution method Execute stand-by type programs in either of the following methods. • Create subroutine and/or interrupt programs in a stand-by type program and call them using a pointer or when an interrupt occurs. • Change a stand-by type program to any other execution type using instructions. Creating subroutine and/or interrupt programs in a single stand-by type program When creating subroutine and/or interrupt programs in a single stand-by type program, start the program from the step 0.
Page 62 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 1) Executing a subroutine program and interrupt program in a stand-by type program After execution of the stand-by type program, the CPU module reexecutes the program that called a program in the stand-by type program. Figure 2.26 shows the operation when the subroutine and interrupt programs in the stand-by type program are executed.
Page 63 (b) Changing the program execution type using instructions Use the PSCAN, PSTOP, or POFF instruction to change a program execution type. 1) Changing the execution type (in the case of scan execution type program) • Set the programs "ABC" and "GHI" as scan execution type programs and the program "DEF" as a stand- by type program.
Page 64 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS 2) Execution type change timing The program execution type is changed in END processing. Therefore, the execution type will not be changed in the middle of program execution. If different types are set to the same program in the same scan, the program will be changed to the type specified by the last instruction executed.
Page 65: Fixed Scan Execution Type Program
2.3.4 Fixed scan execution type program (1) Definition Fixed scan execution type program is a program executed at specified time intervals. This type of programs, unlike interrupt programs, can be interrupted in units of files without interrupt pointers or the IRET instruction. For the restrictions on programming, refer to Section 2.2.3(2)(d).
Page 66 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (2) Processing (a) When two or more fixed scan execution type programs exist Each fixed scan execution type program is executed at specified time intervals. If two or more fixed scan execution type programs reach the specified time at the same timing, programs will be executed in ascending order of the numbers set in the Program tab of the PLC parameter dialog box.
Page 67 (d) When the execution condition is established during END processing When the execution condition is established during the waiting time of the constant scan execution or the END instruction, a fixed scan execution type program is executed. Constant scan Fixed scan interval END processing Condition established...
Page 68 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (4) Precautions (a) Execution interval of a fixed scan execution type program Execution interval of a fixed scan execution type program may increase from the preset interval depending on the time set for disabling interrupts by the DI instruction (interrupt disabled time). If the interrupt disabled time by the DI instruction becomes too long, use an interrupt program by fixed scan interrupt (I28 to I31) instead of a fixed scan execution type program.
Page 69: Changing The Program Execution Type
2.3.5 Changing the program execution type Changing the execution type using instructions (a) Instructions used to change the execution type The execution type of sequence programs can be changed using instructions even during execution. Use the PSCAN, PSTOP, or POFF instruction to change the execution type. PSCAN instruction Scan execution...
Page 70 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS Execution type change example In a control program, a stand-by type program matching the preset condition is changed to a scan execution type program in the course of program execution. An unused scan execution type program can also be changed to a stand-by type program. shows the case where the execution type of the stand-by type programs "ABC", "DEF", Figure 2.34 "GHI", and "JKL"...
Page 71: Data Used In Sequence Programs
2.4 Data Used in Sequence Programs The CPU module represents numeric and alphabetic data using two symbols (states): 0 (off) and 1 (on). Data represented using these two symbols is called binary number (BIN). The CPU module can also use hexadecimal (HEX) (each hexadecimal digit represents four binary bits), binary-coded decimal (BCD), or real numbers.
Page 72 CHAPTER2 SEQUENCE PROGRAMS (1) Inputting numeric values externally to the CPU module When setting a numeric value to the CPU module externally using a digital switch, BCD (binary-coded decimal) can be used as DEC (decimal) by the method given in (b). (a) Numeric values used inside the CPU module The CPU module performs program operations in binary.
Page 73 (2) Outputting numeric values externally from the CPU module When externally displaying numeric values operated in the CPU module, a digital indicator can be used. (a) Outputting numeric values The CPU module performs program operations in binary. If the binary values used in the CPU module are output to a digital indicator, the indicator does not show the values correctly.

Page 365: Timer (T)
9.2.10 Timer (T) (1) Definition Time counting starts when a coil is turned on, and it times out and the contact turns on when the current value reaches the set value. The timer is of an incremental type. (2) Timer types Timers are mainly classified into the following two types.
Page 366 CHAPTER9 DEVICES Low-speed timer (a) Definition This type of timer measures time in increments of 1 to 1000ms. The timer starts time measurement when its coil is turned on, and when it times out, the contact is turned on. If the timerís coil is turned off, the current value is changed to "0" and the contact is turned off.
Page 367 Retentive timer (a) Definition This timer measures the period of time during which the coil is on. The timer starts time measurement when its coil is turned on, and when it times out, the contact is turned on. Even if the timerís coil is turned off, the current value and the on/off status of the contact are retained.
Page 368 CHAPTER9 DEVICES Timer processing and accuracy Processing instruction is executed, the on/off switching of the timer coil, current When the OUT T or OUT ST value update, and on/off switching of the contact are performed. In the END processing, the current timer value is not updated and the contact is not turned on/off. [Ladder example] [Processing at execution of OUT T0 instruction] OUT TO...
Page 369 Accuracy The value obtained by the END instruction is added to the current value when the OUT T or OUT instruction is executed. The current value is not updated while the timer coil is off even if the OUT T or OUT ST instruction is executed.
Page 370 CHAPTER9 DEVICES Precautions for using timers (a) Use of the same timer Do not use the OUT T instruction that describes the same timer more than once within one scan. If this occurs, the current timer value will be updated by each OUT T instruction execution, resulting in incorrect time measurement.
Page 371 (f) When using multiple timers When using multiple timers to update the respective current values at execution of each OUT T instruction, pay attention to the ladder sequence. For example, to create an on/off ladder using two timers, refer to examples shown in Figure 9.28. [Correct ladder example] Coil of T1 is turned on one scan after T0 is turned on.
Page 372: Counter (C)
CHAPTER9 DEVICES 9.2.11 Counter (C) (1) Definition The counter (C) is a device that counts the number of rises for input conditions in sequence programs. When the count value matches the set value, the counting stops and its contact is turned on. The counter is of an incremental type.
Page 373 (c) Resetting the counter The current counter value is not cleared even if the OUT C instruction is turned off. To clear the current value and to turn off the contact of the counter, use the RST C instruction. At the time of execution of the RST C instruction, the counter value is cleared, and the contact is also turned off.
Page 374 CHAPTER9 DEVICES 1) Precautions for resetting the counter Execution of the RST C instruction also turns off the coil of C . If the execution condition for the OUT C instruction is still ON after execution of the RST C instruction, turn on the coil of C at execution of the OUT C instruction and update the current...
Page 375 Maximum counting speed The counter can count only when the on/off time of the input condition is longer than the execution interval of the corresponding OUT C instruction. The maximum counting speed is calculated by the following expression: n: Duty (%) Maximum counting [times/s] speed (Cmax)

APPENDICES Appendix 3.4 Functions Appendix 3.4.1 Floating-point operation instructions (1) Differences between High Performance model QCPU and Universal model QCPU (a) High Performance model QCPU The High Performance model QCPU can perform only the single-precision floating-point operation instructions. Note, however, that internal operation processing can be performed in double precision by selecting the item shown below (default: selected).
Page 585 (2) Floating-point operation instructions for the Universal model QCPU TableApp.30 lists floating-point operation instructions for the Universal model QCPU. Specifications of the single-precision floating-point operation instructions are compatible with those for the High Performance model QCPU. TableApp.32 List of floating-point operation instructions supported in the Universal model QCPU Instruction symbol Instruction name Remarks...
Page 586 APPENDICES (3) Advantages and disadvantages when using the double-precision floating-point data of the Universal model QCPU TableApp.32 shows the advantages and disadvantages when executing the double-precision floating-point opera- tion instructions in the Universal model QCPU. If higher accuracy is required in floating-point operations, it is recommended to replace the instruc- tions with the double-precision floating-point operation instructions.
Page 587 Replacing the High Performance model QCPU with the Universal model QCPU (a) Replacing all single-precision floating-point operation instructions with double-precision floating-point operation instructions Single-precision floating-point data occupy two points of word device per data. On the other hand, four points are required per double-precision floating-point data. Therefore, all device numbers for storing floating-point data need to be reassigned.
Page 588 APPENDICES (b) Replacing a part of floating-point operation instructions with double-precision floating-point operation instructions Only operations that require high accuracy are replaced with double-precision floating-point opera- tion instructions. Using the ECON and EDCON instructions, convert floating-point data mutually between single pre- cision and double-precision.
Page 589 Program after replacement Floating-point data are converted from single precision to double precision. Operation is performed using double-precision floating-point data. The floating-point operation result data are converted from double precision to singe precision. Figure App.23 Sample program App - 45...
Page 590 APPENDICES (c) Replacing a part of floating-point operation instructions with double-precision floating-point operation instructions using subroutine programs The flow of a replacement program described in (b) can be regarded as one subroutine program. Create a subroutine program for each floating-point operation instruction and then replace the original floating- point operation instructions with the CALL(P) instruction so that the corresponding subroutine program is called.

Input of a "special value" (-0, nonnumeric, unnormalized number, or ) is checked, and if those special values are input, the CPU module detects “OPERATION ERROR”...
Page 593 Example 2) Not detecting “OPERATION ERROR” (error code: 4140) in the ANDE instruction [Ladder mode] [List mode] In the ladder block starting from the step 104, the ANDE<= instruction of the step 105 is not executed when the M101 (valid data flag) is off. The ANDE<= instruction of the step 105 is not executed when the M101 is off in the LD instruction of the step 104 in the program above.
Page 594 APPENDICES Method of avoiding “OPERATION ERROR” (error code: 4140) in the floating-point data comparison instructions As shown in the modification examples below, connect the contacts of valid data flag in series for each floating- point data comparison instruction. (Use AND connection for connecting the contact of the valid data flag and the floating-point data comparison instruction.) Make sure that there is no line (OR connection) between the valid data flag and the floating-point data compari- son instruction.
Page 595 Program examples after modification for Example 1) and 3) in (1) are shown below. Example 4) Program after modification for Example 1) ("OPERATION ERROR" (error code: 4140) is no longer detected.)

Page 604 APPENDICES Appendix 3.4.6 External input/output forced on/off function (1) Differences between High Performance model QCPU and Universal model QCPU (a) High Performance model QCPU External input/output can be forcibly turned on/off on the screen opened by selecting [Online] [Debug] [Forced input output registration/cancellation] in GX Developer. íç1 Universal model QCPU The external input/output forced on/off function is not supported in the Universal model QCPU.
Page 605 Example) Forcibly turning X40, X77, and X7A on, and X41 and Y7B off The programs, "SETX" and "SETY", turns on or off the X and Y devices, which have been registered for forced on/off using the external input/output forced on/off function, at each scan using the SET and RST instructions.
Page 606 APPENDICES (3) Replacing the COM instruction If the COM instruction is used, add subroutine calls for P10 and P11 before and after the COM instruc- tion. (P10 and P11 are pointers shown in the program examples in (2).) When SM775 is on (Executes refresh set by SD778) and also the 0 bit of SD778 is off (Do not execute I/O refresh), replacement of the instruction is not necessary.
Page 607 (4) Replacing the RFS instruction If any I/O numbers targeted for forced on/off are included in the partial refresh range specified by the RFS instruc- tion, add subroutine calls for P10 and P11 before and after the RFS instruction. (P10 and P11 are pointers shown in the program examples in (2).) If no I/O number targeted for forced on/off is included, addition of subroutine calls for P10 and P11 is not neces- sary.
