PREFACE-1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Read this user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation, wiring, operation, maintenance, and
inspection of the FC4A series MicroSmart analog I/O modules.
• All MicroSmart modules are manufactured under IDEC’s rigorous quality control system, but users must add a backup or
failsafe provision to the control system using the MicroSmart in applications where heavy damage or personal injury may
be caused in case the MicroSmart should fail.
• In this user’s manual, safety precautions are categorized in order of importance to Warning and Caution:
•Turn off the power to the MicroSmart before starting installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the
MicroSmart. Failure to turn power off may cause electrical shocks or fire hazard.
•Special expertise is required to install, wire, program, and operate the MicroSmart. People without such expertise must not
use the MicroSmart.
•Emergency stop and interlocking circuits must be configured outside the MicroSmart. If such a circuit is configured inside
the MicroSmart, failure of the MicroSmart may cause disorder of the control system, damage, or accidents.
•Install the MicroSmart according to the instructions described in this user’s manual. Improper installation will result in fall-
ing, failure, or malfunction of the MicroSmart.
• The MicroSmart is designed for installation in a cabinet. Do not install the MicroSmart outside a cabinet.
• Install the MicroSmart in environments described in this user’s manual. If the MicroSmart is used in places where the
MicroSmart is subjected to high-temperature, high-humidity, condensation, corrosive gases, excessive vibrations, and
excessive shocks, then electrical shocks, fire hazard, or malfunction will result.
• The environment for using the MicroSmart is “Pollution degree 2.” Use the MicroSmart in environments of pollution
degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1).
• Prevent the MicroSmart from falling while moving or transporting the MicroSmart, otherwise damage or malfunction of
the MicroSmart will result.
• Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the MicroSmart housing. Put a cover on the MicroSmart
modules during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause fire hazard, damage, or malfunc-
tion.
• Use a power supply of the rated value. Use of a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
• Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the power line outside the MicroSmart. This is required when equipment containing
the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
•Use an IEC 60127-approved fuse on the output circuit. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is des-
tined for Europe.
• Use an EU-approved circuit breaker. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for Europe.
•Make sure of safety before starting and stopping the MicroSmart or when operating the MicroSmart to force outputs on or
off. Incorrect operation on the MicroSmart may cause machine damage or accidents.
• If relays or transistors in the MicroSmart output modules should fail, outputs may remain on or off. For output signals
which may cause heavy accidents, provide a monitor circuit outside the MicroSmart.
• Do not connect the ground wire directly to the MicroSmart. Connect a protective ground to the cabinet containing the
MicroSmart using an M4 or larger screw. This is required when equipment containing the MicroSmart is destined for
Europe.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the MicroSmart modules.
• When disposing of the MicroSmart, do so as an industrial waste.
Warning Warning notices are used to emphasize that improper operation may cause
severe personal injury or death.
Caution Caution notices are used where inattention might cause personal injury or
damage to equipment.

1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
This chapter describes general information and specifications of the FC4A series MicroSmart analog I/O modules.
About the Analog I/O Modules
Analog I/O modules are available in 3-I/O types, 2-, 4-, and 8-input types, and 1- and 2-output types. The input channel
can accept voltage and current signals, thermocouple and resistance thermometer signals, or thermistor signals. The output
channel generates voltage and current signals.

END Refresh Type and Ladder Refresh Type
Depending on the internal circuit design for data refreshing, analog I/O modules are categorized into two types.
END Refresh Type
Each END refresh type analog I/O module is allocated 20 data registers to store analog I/O data and parameters for controlling
analog I/O operation. These data registers are updated at ever y end processing while the CPU module is running. WindLDR has
ANST macro to program the analog I/O modules.
The CPU module checks the analog I/O configuration only once at the end processing in the first scan. If you have changed the
parameter while the CPU is running, stop and restart the CPU to enable the new parameter.
Ladder Refresh Type
Each ladder refresh type analog I/O module can be allocated any data registers to store analog I/O data and parameters for con-
trolling analog I/O operation. The data registers are programmed in the ANST macro. Analog I/O data are updated at the ladder
step following the ANST macro. Analog I/O parameters are updated when the ANST macro is executed, so analog I/O parame-
ters can be changed while the CPU is running.
Analog I/O Module Category END Refresh Type Ladder Refresh Type

is running
Parameter Refreshing At the end processing in the first scan When executing ANST macro

Refreshing
When M8025 (maintain outputs while CPU
stopped) is on, output data is refreshed.
When off, output is turned off.
Maintains output status when the CPU is stopped.
Output data can be changed using STPA instruction
while the CPU is stopped.
See page 4-21.

1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1-2
Applicable CPU Modules and WindLDR Version
END refresh type analog I/O modules as many as listed below can be used with any FC4A and FC5A MicroSmart CPU
modules and WindLDR versions.
Ladder refresh type analog I/O modules can be used with the FC4A and FC5A MicroSmart CPU module system program
versions and WindLDR versions as listed below.
All-in-one 10- and 16-I/O type CPU modules cannot use either END refresh or ladder refresh type analog I/O modules.
Note: FC5A all-in-one 24-I/O type CPU modules cannot use analog I/O modules in combination with the AS-Interface master
module (FC4A-AS62M) and/or expansion RS232C communication module (FC5A-SIF2). When using these modules in combi-
nation with analog I/O modules, use the slim type CPU module.
Confirming System Program Version
The system program version can be confirmed using WindLDR.
1. Connect a PC to communication port 1 or 2 on the MicroSmart CPU module using the computer link cable 4C
(FC2A-KC4C).
2. From the WindLDR menu bar, select Online > Monitor. The monitor mode is enabled.
3. From the WindLDR menu bar, select Online > PLC Status. The PLC Status dialog box appears and shows the sys-
tem program version.

Note 1: Total input system transfer time = Sample repetition time + Internal processing time
When using the FC4A-J4CN1, FC4A-J8C1, or FC4A-J8AT1, the total input system transfer time increases in proportion to the
number of channels used.
Note 2: The data processed in the analog I/O module can be linear-converted to a value between –32768 and 32767. The

Power Supply for Analog I/O Modules
When supplying power to the analog I/O modules, take the following considerations.
•Power Supply for END Refresh Type Analog I/O Modules
Use separate power supplies for the MicroSmart CPU module and END refresh type analog I/O modules. Power up the
analog I/O modules at least 1 second earlier than the CPU module. This is recommended to ensure correct operation of the
analog I/O control.
•Power Supply for Ladder Refresh Type Analog I/O Modules
Use the same power supply for the MicroSmart CPU module and ladder refresh type analog I/O modules to suppress the
influence of noises.
After the CPU module has started to run, ladder refresh type analog input modules perform initialization for a maximum
of 5 seconds. During this period, the analog input data have an indefinite value. Design the user program to make sure that
the analog input data are read to the CPU module after the analog input operating status has changed to 0 (normal opera-
tion). For the analog input operating status, see page 4-13.
Wiring Analog I/O Lines
Separate the analog I/O lines, particularly resistance thermometer inputs, from motor lines as much as possible to suppress
the influence of noises.
