stopped with the programmer.

Setting the operation mode switch on the

controller to RUN will execute the

program.

Check to make sure that "PLC:RUN" is

displayed for the operation status in the

lower left-hand corner of the window.

If an I/O card is installed, the bit 0 in the

operation status LED will blink. Check to

make sure it blinks in line with the

program.

With the I/O card setting for the program

created in this example, an error will

result if the program is executed with no

I/O card installed. If no I/O card is

installed, use the procedure described in

"Registering I/O Cards" earlier in this

manual to change the setting to "no I/O

card registered."

You can also operate the controller from

the programmer. On the PLC menu, point

to PLC Control. A submenu listing the

operation modes will appear; select Halt

and then click the mouse button or press

5. Advanced Editing

5.1 Inserting Circuits

In this section, you make a few edits and corrections to the circuit to add some

features. You will begin by inserting a circuit.

In this example, first assume a flicker

circuit for which the lighting interval has

been set to 3 seconds by writing an ON

delay timer directly. Then you will change

this circuit to such a configuration that

the data for the lighting interval for the

circuit is set to the data register in

advance and the ON delay timer

references the value in this data register.

First, add a circuit in front of Circuit 2.

To add a circuit, use the Line insertion

function.

On the Edit menu, click Edit Mode.

In Edit mode, move the box cursor to the

insertion point. Then, on the Edit menu,

point to Insert and then click Line on the

submenu.

5. Advanced Editing

A blank line will be inserted. The existing

circuits will move down from the next line

on, as shown in the figure.

You will create a circuit on this line to set

the lighting interval.

Check to make sure that the box cursor is

at the beginning of Circuit 2, then start by

placing a NC contact of R0000.

When you have placed the NC contact,

place the symbol for setting data to the

data register.

Select the "Mov" item and then click to

the right of the B contact. The Mov

instruction symbol will be placed there.

Basic Operation 55

5. Advanced Editing

Two operands are entered for the Mov

instruction symbol, a transfer source

destination register.

In this example, we will assume that the

data for the flicker circuit lighting interval

is determined in another program (for

example, to match the level of error

occurrence) and stored in RW020, and

we will transfer this data to data register

D0000.

Enter the two operands on the keyboard.

The line from the Mov instruction symbol

to the right bus is unconnected, but it will

be automatically connected when the

program is written like the END

instruction issued.

Now you will do a little editing on circuit 3.

In this example, you will change the

setting for the ON delay timer from a

constant to the data register number.

Move the box cursor to the first operand

in the ON delay timer instruction in the

third line of Circuit 3, then enter "D0" and

press the Enter key.

This will cause the ON delay timer setting

to be replaced with the value in data

When the operand has been properly

entered, select Write to write the data to

the controller.

Check to make sure that the new circuit

has been added to Circuit 2 and the

subsequent circuits have moved down

accordingly. Then quit Edit mode and

return to Monitor mode.

7.2 Sampling Trace

The controller has a function that enables you to sample and display changes in

device status and register values during program execution. In this example, you will

use this function to check on device and register trends in the flicker circuit.

7.2.1 Setting the Sampling Buffer

In order to sample data, it is necessary to secure a buffer, i.e. the memory area in which

the sampling data will be stored. This is set in the system data.

On the PLC menu, click System

Parameters. The System Parameters

screen will appear. Click Memory Size &

Scan Time.

Then set the Sampling Buffer Size in the

Memory Size area. For the T3, the

sampling buffer may be set up to a

- On the T3/T3H the F register or an IC memory card is used for the sampling buffer.

Note that setting a sampling buffer will decrease the amount of memory used by the

program by the amount of the buffer setting.

- On the T2, IC cards are used to store sampling data.

- When performing a sample trace on the T2, be sure to insert an IC memory card and

assign the memory card using the "I/O Card Allocation" procedure. The sampling buffer

size is fixed at 8KW.

- For the T2E/T2N, the sampling buffer size is fixed at 8kW and uses internal memory.

- For the T1/T1S, the sampling buffer size is fixed at 1kW and uses internal memory.

7.2.2 Setting the Sampling Condition

On the Debug menu, click Sample Trace.

The Sample Trace dialog box will appear.

The Sample Trace dialog box is used to set

the registers for data sampling, the

sampling trigger condition and other data.

First check to make sure that the

sampling buffer size set as system data is

displayed in the upper left-hand corner.

In this example, you will set the trigger

condition.

The trigger condition sets the timing for

data sampling during program execution

(during scanning). The trigger condition

is specified as a device and a register

condition, such as when the device status

has changed or when the register has

reached a certain constant value.

In this example, you will set the trigger to

be activated when the timing relay

(S0040) goes ON or OFF.

Move the mouse to the Trigger Condition text box and enter "1".

This designates how many times sampling is performed when the sampling conditions

are fulfilled. Setting the value to "1" causes sampling to be performed for each scan that

fulfills the trigger conditions.

Move the mouse pointer to the right and enter "S0040" for the sampling device. Then

select the operation condition to one of the choices in the list box (Device ON, Device

OFF or Device Change). In this example, you will set it to Device Change.

Basic Operation 73

7. Beyond the Basic

When the trigger conditions have been

set, move the mouse pointer to the

Sample Target area.

This area is used to designate the

devices and registers for sampling. Enter

the device and register numbers.

In this example, enter T000 and T001 for

the registers and R0002, R0003 and

S0040 for the devices.

When the settings are complete, click Set

to save them.

As a result of these settings, when the

S0040 relay changes from ON to OFF or

vice versa, the current values for timer 0

and timer 1 and the ON/OFF status of

R0002, R0003 and S0040 will be

sampled.

The sampling conditions have now been set. Click Enable at the top of the dialog box.

This completes the preparations for sampling.

There are 4 types of error messages as follows.

A. Operation Error

These error messages are displayed for the T-PDS operation which you attempt to do.

Communication error between T-PDS and PLC is also included in this type.

It is displayed in the message box.

B. Compile Error

These errors are detected in the T-PDS when edited program is compiled.

It is displayed in the message box.

C. PLC Status Line

When the T-PDS is on-line mode, the PLC's operation mode (RUN, HALT, or ERROR)

and alarm status are displayed in the status line.

PLC mode

RUN

HALT

ERROR

Alarm status

PROG: Programming enabled.

PROT: Program is write-protected.

LOAD: Under program down-loading.

DIAG: User diagnostic instruction was executed.

SCAN: Time-over for the constant scan setting.

TL-F: TOSLINE-F10 error.

TL-S: TOSLINE-S20 error.

Error Message

D. Event History Table

When the PLC detects some abnormality in its diagnostic checks, it is recorded in the

PLC memory called Event history table. In the Event history table, the last 30 event

messages (15 in case of T1/T1S) are stored in this table. The contents of the Event

history table can be monitored on the T-PDS screen by [PLC] [Event History] menu.

Date The date the error occurred (requires RTC/calendar).

Time The time the error was detected (requires RTC/calendar).

Event Description of what occurred.

Count Number of retries to correct the event.

Information Additional information about the event.

Mode The operation mode when the event occurred.

DOWN The event caused the controller to enter the Error Mode.

[Save] button is used to save the Event history table contents into the disk file.

Usually a PLC goes into the error mode when one of its diagnostic checks determines

that something has occurred which interferes with normal operation. When a controller

is in the error mode, all outputs turn OFF and operation stops. Nothing else is possible

until Error Reset is executed. The basic recovery procedure is:

(1) Execute Error Reset (reset the error and put the PLC in the Halt Mode).

(2) Study the Event History Table.

(3) Make the necessary corrections.

(4) Return to the Run Mode.
