CAUTION

1 Each signal is initially OFF.

2 The signals R9091.0, R9091.1, Z91.0, and Z91.1 are set at the beginning of the

first ladder level on every cycle.

3 Each pulse signal (ON-OFF signal) has an error of ±8 or 4 ms (ladder execution

period).

Ladder execution start signal

Ladder stop signal

Ladder execution status signal

Using the ladder execution start and stop signals in a ladder program can detect when the ladder program

starts and stops.

Referencing the ladder execution status signal from an external system or program, such as the network

board, C Language Executor program, FOCAS1 Ethernet, or HSSB library, can detect the execution

status of the ladder program.

One ladder

scan cycle

(1)

Ladder execution start signal (R9015.0, Z15.0)

When directed to start ladder program execution, the system software starts executing the ladder

program, turns on this signal, and keeps it on for the first one scan cycle. Like R9000 or Z0, this

signal indicates the status of ladder execution corresponding to each ladder execution level. For this

reason, this signal is securely turned on for the first one scan cycle after the start of execution no

matter on what execution level the signal is referenced. This signal is turned on when:

(a) Ladder execution begins at power turn-on.

(b) The soft key [RUN] on the PMC screen is pressed.

Referencing this signal in a ladder program can detect when ladder execution has begun, making it

possible to program preprocessing related to ladder execution.

- 343 -

6.INTERFACE BETWEEN CNC AND PMC

B-64485EN/01

CAUTION

Reference this signal only within a ladder program. Do not reference it from an

external system or program as it indicates the status of ladder execution

separately for each ladder execution level.

(2) Ladder stop signal (R9015.1, Z15.1)

When directed to stop ladder program execution, the system software turns off this signal and keeps

it off for the last one scan before stopping ladder program execution. Like R9000 or Z0, this signal

indicates the status of ladder execution corresponding to each ladder execution level. For this reason,

this signal is securely turned off for the last one scan before the stop of execution no matter on what

execution level the signal is referenced. This signal is turned off when:

(a) The soft key [STOP] on the PMC screen is pressed.

(b) FANUC LADDER-III or a ladder editing package directs the ladder to stop.

(d) FANUC LADDER-III or a ladder editing package stores the ladder program to the PMC.

Referencing this signal in a ladder program can detect when ladder execution stops, making it

possible to program postprocessing related to ladder execution (that is, preprocessing for ladder

execution stop). Before the ladder is stopped, for example, it is possible to put signals in an proper

state for safety purposes.

CAUTION

1 Reference this signal only within the ladder program. Do not reference it from an

external system or program as it indicates the status of ladder execution

separately for each ladder execution level.

2 If the power is turned off or a CNC system alarm occurs, ladder execution and

I/O signal transfer are immediately stopped for safety purposes. In this case,

therefore, this signal cannot be used.

(3) Ladder execution status signal (R9091.2 to 4, R9093.0 to 1, Z91.2 to 4, Z93.0 to 1)

Referencing this signal from an external system or program, such as the network board, C Language

Executor program, FOCAS2 Ethernet, or HSSB library, can detect the execution status of the ladder

program.

NOTE

1 This PMC is used for Dual Check Safety (DCS) and handles the safety related

signals.

2 As for the setting the PMC memory type, see PMC Programming Manual

(B-64513EN).

3 There is no variation of PMC memory type in DCS PMC.

4 The Step Sequence is unavailable in 2nd to 5th PMC.

5 A program can be created on level 3 to maintain source-level compatibility with

programs for other models, but it is not executed.

6 CNC parameter is used to specify a level-1 execution period. Note, however, that it

is impossible to specify a level-1 execution period for each PMC separately.

7 It is the processing speed of contact other than Positive/Negative transition contact.

8 The maximum overall program size (including the maximum number of ladder

steps, symbols/ comments, and messages) varies depending on option settings.

See PMC Programming Manual (B-64513EN) for details.

9 For the number of functional instructions, each parenthesized number indicates the

number of all functional instructions, and each non-parenthesized number, the

number of valid functional instructions.

10 It is possible to specify which program is used to control a specific CNC system.

11 You can use up to three I/O Link channels (3,072 input points and 3,072 output

points).

12 The transferred cycle of the signals from I/O Link depends on the combination with

each PMC and each I/O Link channel.

13 You can use up to two I/O Link i channels (4,096 input points and 4,096 output

points).

14 I/O Link i can assign I/O devices for plural PMC paths in the one channel.

15 I/O Link i can be used for the channel 1 and the channel 2.

16 When you use the I/O Link i, you can select either the normal mode (2ms) or the

high-speed mode (0.5ms) of the transfer cycle of signals for every group unit

17 You can use both I/O Link and I/O Link i in a CNC system. In the case of the

system, you can use up to 4,096 input points and 4096 output points.

18 These are the number for extended symbol and comment character. The number of

basic symbol character is 16 and the number of comment character is 30.

19 This number is the number of single-byte characters. When you use double-byte

characters as a comment, the number becomes half.

20 The capacity of the program storage area varies depending on option settings.

See PMC Programming Manual (B-64513EN) for details.

On this screen, sequence programs, PMC parameters, PMC message data for multi-language display,

trace setting data and I/O configuration data can be written to the specified device, read from the device,

and compared. The query selection cursor, which moves vertically from one question to another, is

displayed, as is the option selection cursor, which moves horizontally from one option to another.

The following types of devices can be used for input/output. The desired device type can be selected by

positioning the query selection cursor to "DEVICE" and moving the option selection cursor to that type.

• MEMORY CARD: Data can be output to and input from a memory card.

• USB MEMORY: Data can be output to and input from a USB memory.

• FLASH ROM:

Data can be output to and input from flash ROM.

• FLOPPY:

Data can be output to and input from handy files or floppy cassettes.

• OTHERS:

Data can be output to and input from other general-purpose RS-232C

input/output devices.

The multi-path PMC system enables an I/O target PMC to be selected. In STATUS in the lower part of

the screen, a detailed explanation of execution and the execution status are displayed. During write, read,

and comparison, the size of the data already transferred is indicated as the execution (intermediate) result.
