3.3 I/O 3.3 I/O 3.3.1 Standard built-in I/O The LC53* has built-in I/Os by standard. Therefore, when standard built-in I/Os are used, no additional I/O module needs to be registered. I/O data can be input or output with I/O variables (SIO). The table below shows the description of the standard built-in I/Os.
Chapter 3 Software Functions 3.4 Standard I/O 3.4.1 Tags and standard I/O functions The relations between tags, standard I/Os, and programs are described below. Standard I/O functions consist of PV process, LP process, and PB process. Assuming general process control, the external sensor signal is input to the PV process as a feedback value first.
3.4 Standard I/O 3.4.3 Standard I/O process The standard I/O processes perform correction calculation, conversion process, and alarm process for the I/O data of the I/O module according to the parameters of the tag variables. The standard I/O process for different types of tags are described below.
Page 72
Chapter 3 Software Functions ■ Pulse instantaneous value conversion For pulse instantaneous values, only input from the intelligent serial PI module is used. The following instantaneous value calculation is performed. (Instantaneous Value) = [(Pulse Difference Count) X PU X D X K X T] /(Scan Time) Similarly to the analog instantaneous value, correction can be made in the application.
Page 73
3.4 Standard I/O (2) LP process The following processes are performed according to the controller (parameter) settings. ■ Current output conversion When Control Mode = For C, A, or RM, MV is converted to the output counter of intelligent serial AO. Output Direction=R: MV is 0-100%, and AO is 4-20mA output.

4.6 Registration of S3 Controller Using Inter-Controller Transmission 4.6 Registration of S3 Controller Using Inter-Controller Transmission This section describes a method to configure the nV-Tool of the S3 controller in order to connect the S3 controller via inter-controller transmission. To achieve inter-controller transmission, the inter-controller transmission variables must be declared and a program to start inter-controller transmission needs to be created.
Chapter 4 Registration and Setting Using Engineering Tool Remark To reduce the size of the inter-controller transmission variable, register the LC53* stations as follows: for example, when there are four receiving stations (stations 1,2,3,6) and the maximum station number is 6, the inter-controller transmission variable size is found as below.
