This manual is intended as a supplement to the AFC3000 Hardware Operation Manual and should be
used in conjunction with information provided in that manual. FEC recommends reading that manual
before the contents of this manual (which only applies to systems requiring the optional Ethernet I/P
interface).
Ethernet-I/P
The AFC3000 Ethernet-I/P System conforms to the open field network Ethernet-I/P. Control of tools and
transactions of message information are executed by Ethernet-I/P explicit message communication.
Due to conformance with the open field network Ethernet-I/P System, connections with Ethernet-I/P devices
(master/slave) of other manufacturers are enabled.
Also, remote I/O communication and message communication can be executed at the same time.

●EDS File
An EDS file is an information file related to the communication specifications of Ethernet-I/P compatible
device and a separate, individual file exists for each device. The EDS file is necessary for using the
Ethernet-I/P configuration software to connect the MFC-EN and the PLC.
The EDS file is included in the installation CD for the AFC3000 User Console or may be downloaded from
the FEC website. Please refer to the instruction manual for the Ethernet-I/P configuration software
concerning the appropriate method for using the EDS file.

* The word No. at the PLC side differs according to the setting of the node address, etc., so please be sure
to confirm before using. Please refer to the AFC3000 Operation Manual, Section 5-3-2 and 5-3-3 for
description of the respective signals.
The allocation of the input signals is fixed (cannot be changed).
The unused area of the inputs is also secured
(and cannot be used by other
devices).
Be careful of the following points when using the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals.
If a certain Unit is to be put in the BYP
ASS mode, set the corresponding signal
among the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals to “ON” with the START signal of the Unit
being in the “OFF” state and the BUSY signal of the MASTER Spindle
for PC
communication and I/O (PLC) control being in the “OFF” state.
When fastening is executed with any of the spindle
BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals
in the “ON” state, the fastening judgment of th
at Unit will be ignored as if it does not
exist.
Also, when any of the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals is set to “ON” with th
e BUSY
of the MASTER Spindle
being in the “ON” state, the sequence judgment may result
in REJECT.

The example above (output word 5-7) shows an example of all available signals for each spindle.
While normally not all signals are used, any of the signals (for each spindle) can be preset
(programmed using the AFC3000 software) to any output bit.
* The word No. at the PLC input side differs according to the setting of the node address, etc., so please be
sure to confirm before using. Please refer to the AFC3000 Operation Manual, Section 5-3-2 and 5-3-3 for
description of the respective signals.
The unused area of Word 01 to 16 is also secured.

Fieldbus Setting (Ethernet-I/P)
The fieldbus settings are set in the “Fieldbus Setting” menu of the AFC3000 User Console. The following
setting window is displayed when “Multi” ￫ “Fieldbus Setting” is selected at the menu bar.
In the Bus Type Select/communication window, selection of the fieldbus type, uploading, downloading,
and verification of fieldbus settings with respect to the Unit, and browsing and saving of fieldbus settings
with respect to the PC can be performed.
-
The standard set values are set as the factory settings in the
Unit. Do not change the settings unless there is a special
reason.
- Be sure to perform backup before changing the fieldbus
settings of the Unit.
●Bus Type Select: The type of bus is selected from the list. Also, when ”Upload” is executed, the bus
type is judged automatically and reflected in the selection part.
●Configuration File
･ Browse: A fieldbus configuration file (*.nrfcf) is read from the PC.
･ Save: A fieldbus configuration file (*.nrfcf) is saved in the PC.
●Upload: The fieldbus settings are read from the MASTER Spindle for PC communication
and I/O (PLC) control.
●Download: The fieldbus settings are written into the MASTER Spindle for PC communication
and I/O (PLC) control. (Re-activate the control power after writing.)
●Verify: The fieldbus settings of the MASTER Spindle for PC communication and I/O
(PLC) control and the fieldbus settings in the User Console are compared.

The message information output from the MASTER Spindle for PC communication and I/O (PLC) control
is set in the AFC3000 User Console software. The maximum size of the message output that can be
handled is 4096 bytes.
The output order of the message data is: “Multi Format Data” ￫ “Spindle format data of Spdl. No. 1” ￫
“Spindle format data of Spdl. No. 2” ￫ ･･･ ￫ “Spindle format data of Spdl. No. 32.”
The message output format is selectable (in the AFC3000 Software) to output either BCD format or

●Judgment Data 1 and 2 Items (in common with BCD and ASCII)
The Judgment data and Abnormal data of the fastening results are set by bit allocation. The actual bit
configuration is setup in the AFC3000 Software. Please refer to “Fieldbus Message Setting” in the
<<AFC3000 User Console Instruction Manual>>.
Classification
Item Details
Logic - Message information to be output by a combination of OR and AND is set.
Spindle
Judgment
REJECT This is output when a fastening result falls outside a judgment range.
ACCEPT This is output when fastening ends with the fastening results being within the
judgment ranges.
ABNORMAL This is output when an error occurs in the system or during the fastening
operation.
BYPASS This is output when the BYPASS signal is set to “ON” at the start of fastening
or during the fastening process.
STOP This is output when the STOP signal is set to “OFF” at the start of fastening or
during the fastening process.
RESET STOP This is output when the RESET signal is set to “ON” at the start of fastening or
during the fastening process.
START OFF This is output when the START signal is set to “OFF” during the fastening
operation with “Deadman” being set as the start method in the sequence setup.

Allows the configuration of multiple REJECT items to be combined onto single
outputs (8 combination outputs available). The configuration of these signals is
set using the AFC3000 Software (Fieldbus Message Setup Screen).
● Abnormal Data Items (in common with BCD and ASCII)
Abnormal State No. Details
Abnormal State 1 Torque transducer error
Abnormal State 3 Preamplifier error
Abnormal State 4 System memory error
Abnormal State 5 Servo apply error
Abnormal State 6 Servo type error
Abnormal State 8 Servo amplifier error
Abnormal State 9 Setting data error
Abnormal State 10 Multi signal error

●1st Reject (Failure) Item (in common with BCD and ASCII)
Identifies the reason or cause for a fastening that is stopped / interrupted BEFORE reaching the target
torque (or angle) due to a Reject (outside of the programmed limits). (Some programmed limits can cause
the fastening process to stop due to a Reject prior to fastening completion)
Example: A cycle run with a missing fastener will cause a ‘1
ST
Time High Limit Reject’. A fastener that
reached the Final Angle High Limit setting before reaching Standard Torque will cause a ‘Final Angle High
Limit reject’.
Note: If the fastening reaches the end of the fastening cycle and rejects, no data will be reported in
this data item.
The BCD output format data is shown below for each type of reject item.
