Specification
Macro instructions
Min. cycle time
Subroutines called by instructions containing arguments.
1 to 9,999 ms (Unit: 1 ms)
Cycle time
monitoring
When the cycle time exceeds 100 ms, the Cycle Time Over Flag turns ON, and operation continues. (A setting
can be made in the PLC Setup so that this error is not generated.)
When the cycle time exceeds the cycle monitor time, operation is stopped.
Cycle monitor time settings: 0 to 990 ms in 10-ms units, 0 to 9,900 ms in 100-ms units, 0 to 99 s in 1-s units.
The maximum and current values of the cycle time are stored in the AR area.
I/O refreshing
Cyclic refreshing, refreshing by IORF(97), direct output refreshing (set in the PLC Setup), interrupt input refresh-
ing. (The inputs that are refreshed can be set separately for input interrupts, high-speed counter interrupts, and
interval timer interrupts in the PLC Setup.)
I/O memory status
when changing
operating mode
Depends on the ON/OFF status of the I/O Hold Bit (SR 25212).
Load OFF
All outputs on Output Units can be turned OFF when the CPU is operating in RUN, MONITOR, or PROGRAM
mode. (Used for stopping output in emergencies, for debugging, etc.)
User-customized
DIP switch setting
A pin setting on the DIP switch on the front of the CPU is stored in AR 0712. This setting can be used as an
ON/OFF condition (e.g., to switch between trial operation and actual operation).
Mode setting at
power-up
Possible
Debugging
Forced set/reset, differential monitoring, data tracing (scheduled, cyclic, or when instruction is executed).
Online editing
User programs can be overwritten in program-block units when the CPU is in MONITOR mode. With the CX-
Programmer, more than one program block can be edited at the same time.
Program protection
Error check
Write-protection of user program and data memory (DM 6144 to DM 6655: read-only DM):
Set using pin 1 of the DIP switch.
User-defined errors (i.e., user can define fatal errors and non-fatal errors using the FAL(06) and FALS(07) in-
structions.) (It is possible to stop operation using FALS(07) for fatal errors.
User-defined error logs can be created in specific bits (logging) when using FAL(06).
Error log
Up to 10 errors (including user-defined errors) are stored in the error log. Information includes the error code,
error details, and the time the error occurred.
