Major Features

1. Basic functions
[Up to 256 input/output points]
The total number of inputs and outputs (128
points maximum) directly connected to the PLC
and remote inputs and outputs (128 points
maximum) of the CC-Link can be extended to
256 points.
[Program memory]
The PLC has a 32K-step EEPROM memory.
[Built-in USB port]
T h e P L C h a s a b u i l t - i n U S B p o r t f o r t h e
programming communication function to enable
high-speed communication at 12Mbps.
[Built-in RUN/STOP switch]
The PLC can be started and stopped with the
built-in switch.
RUN and STOP commands can be given to the
PLC through a general-purpose input terminal or
peripheral device.
[Built-in Variable analog potentiometers]
The PLC has two built-in variable analog
potentiometers available for adjusting the timer
set time.
[Writing during RUN]
T h e p r o g r a m m i n g s o f t w a r e f o r p e r s o n a l
computer enables you to modify the program
while the PLC is running.
[Built-in clock function]
The PLC has a clock function to control the time.
[Programming tool]

[Remote debugging of program]
Use of programming software (GX Works2, GX
Developer) enables you to remotely transfer
programs and monitor PLC operation through a
modem connected to the RS-232C expansion
board or RS-232C communication special
adapter.
2. Input/output high-speed processing
functions of main unit
[High-speed counter function]
Input terminals of main unit
- Input of open collector transistor output
- 1-phase 60kHz x 4 points + 10kHz x 2 points
- 2-phase 30kHz x 2 points + 5kHz x 1 points
→ Refer to 11. Use of High-speed Counters in
this manual and Programming Manual.
[Pulse catch function]
Signals with short ON width or OFF width can be
captured without a complicated program.
→ Refer to 10. Input Wiring Procedures
in this manual and Programming Manual.
Input terminal
X000, X001, X003, X004
X002, X005
[Input interruption function]
The PLC can process interruption routines with
higher priority using external signals whose
minimum ON duration or OFF duration is 10 s
(X000, X001, X003 and X004) or 50 s (X002
and X005). (The timer interruption function is
also provided.)
→ Refer to 10. Input Wiring Procedures in
this manual and Programming Manual.
[Pulse width/period measurement function]
(Supported in Ver. 1.10 or later)
The width/period of pulses from input terminals
(X000, X001, X003 and X004) of the main unit
3G
can be measured in units of 10 s.
→ Refer to 10. Input Wiring Procedures and
