Omron C200H Operation Manual page 9

About this Manual:
The OMRON C200H PCs offer a simple but effective way to automate processing. Manufacturing,
assembly, packaging, and many other processes can be automated to save time and money.
This manual describes the characteristics and abilities of the PCs, as well as programming operations
and instructions and other aspects of operation and preparation. Before attempting to operate the PC,
thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information contained herein. Hardware information is pro-
vided in detail in the C200H PCs (CPU01-E/03-E/11-E) Installation Guide. A table of other manuals
that can be used in conjunction with this manual is provided at the end of Section 1 Introduction.
Section 1 Introduction explains the background and some of the basic terms used in ladder-dia-
gram programming. It also provides an overview of the process of programming and operating a PC
and explains basic terminology used with OMRON PCs. Descriptions of Peripheral Devices used with
the C200H PCs and a table of other manuals available to use with this manual for special PC applica-
tions are also provided.
Section 2 Hardware Considerations explains basic aspects of the overall PC configuration and de-
scribes the indicators that are referred to in other sections of this manual.
Section 3 Memory Areas takes a look at the way memory is divided and allocated and explains the
information provided there to aid in programming. It explains how I/O is managed in memory and how
bits in memory correspond to specific I/O points. It also provides information on System DM, a special
area in C200H PCs that provides the user with flexible control of PC operating parameters.
Section 4 Writing and Entering Programs explains the basics of ladder-diagram programming,
looking at the elements that make up the parts of a ladder-diagram program and explaining how exe-
cution of this program is controlled. It also explains how to convert ladder diagrams into mnemonic
code so that the programs can be entered using a Programming Console.
Section 5 Instruction Set describes all of the instructions used in programming.
Section 6 Program Execution Timing explains the scanning process used to execute the program
and tells how to coordinate inputs and outputs so that they occur at the proper times.
Section 7 Program Debugging and Execution explains the Programming Console procedures
used to input and debug the program and to monitor and control operation.
Finally, Section 8 Troubleshooting provides information on error indications and other means of re-
ducing down-time. Information in this section is also useful when debugging programs.
The Appendices provide tables of standard OMRON products available for the C200H PCs, refer-
ence tables of instructions and Programming Console operations, coding sheet to help in program-
ming and parameter input, and other information helpful in PC operation.
