Improved Specifications
Section 1-9
3. The operation of Completion Flags for timers has been changed so that the
Completion Flag for a timer turns ON only when the timer instruction is
executed with a PV of 0000 and not when the timer
value of 0000, as was previously done.
’s PV is refreshed to a PV
Only the timing of the activation of the Completion Flag has been changed,
and the timer s PV is still refreshed at the same times (i.e., when the timer
’
instruction is executed, at the end of user program execution, and every
80 ms if the cycle time exceeds 80 ms).
4. The READ(190) (I/O READ) and WRIT(191) (I/O WRITE) instructions have
been improved so that they can be used for Special I/O Units on Slave
Racks under the following conditions.
a) The lot number of the Remote I/O Master Unit and Remote I/O Slave Unit
must be the same as or latter than the following.

b) The DIP switch on the Remote I/O Slave Unit must be set to “54MH.”
c) The Special I/O Unit must be one of the following: AD101, CT012,
CT021, CT041, ASC04, IDS01-V1, IDS02, IDS21, IDS22, or LDP01-V1.
(The NC221-E, NC222, CP131, and FZ001 cannot be mounted to Slave
Racks.)
1-9-2 Version-1 CPUs
CV-series CPUs were changed to version 1 from December 1993. The new
model numbers are as follows: CVM1-CPU01-EV1, CVM1-CPU11-EV1,
CV500-CPU-EV1, CV1000-CPU-EV1, and CV2000-CPU-EV1. (Of these, all
CVM1 CPUs were changed to version 2 from December 1994; refer to the next
sections for details.)
The following additions and improvements were made to create the version-1
CPUs.
PT Link Function
EEPROM Writes
The host link interface on the CPU can be used to connect directly to Program
-
mable erminals (PTs) to create high-speed data links. To use the PT links, turn
T
ON pin 3 of the DIP switch on the CPU. Pin 3 must be turned OFF for host link
connections.
With the new CPUs, you can write to EEPROM Memory Cards mounted to the
CPU by using the file write operation from a Peripheral Device. A Memory Card
Writer is no longer required for this write operation. Writing is possible in PRO
GRAM mode only.
-
New Command
Faster Host Links
Faster Searches
A new I/O REGISTER command (QQ) has been added so that words from differ-
ent data areas can be read at the same time.
The communications response time for the built-in host link interface on the CPU
has been improved by a factor of approximately 1.2.
The search speed from Peripheral Devices for instructions and operands has
been nearly doubled.
1-9-3 Version-2 CVM1 PCs
CVM1 CPUs were changed to version 2 and a new CPU was added from De-
cember 1994. The new model numbers are as follows: CVM1-CPU01-EV2,
CVM1-CPU11-EV2, and CVM1-CPU21-EV2.
