Glossary
As for the following terms, similar expressions are used in the software, manuals and
specifications concerning FP-XH M8N Control Unit and Servo Amplifier A6N/A5N.
FP-XH M8N
Control Unit A6N/A5N Description
- General-purpose
monitor input
Five inputs of symbols SI-MON1 to SI-MON5 are allocated on
the A6N/A5N side.
By default, the general-purpose monitor input (mark: SI-
MON1) is allocatd to the terminal on the servo amplifier side.
To read the general-purpose input (mark: SI-MON2), it is
necessary to change the parameter on the servo amplifier
side.
RTEX general-
purpose input -
Up to two points (marks: SI-MON1 to SI-MON2) of the
general-purpose monitor inputs on the A6N/A5N side can be
read on the FP-XH M8N control Unit side. They are allocated
to the I/O input area (WX125).
- RTEX operation
output
On the A6N/A5N side, two outputs of marks EX-OUT1 and
EX-OUT2 are allocated.
By default, the RTEX operation output (mark: EX-OUT1) is
allocatd to the terminal on the servo amplifier side. To use the
RTEX operation output (mark: EX-OUT2), it is necessary to
change the parameter on the servo amplifier side.
RTEX general-
purpose output -
On the FP-XH M8N Control Unit, the two "RTEX operation
outputs" connected to the A6N/A5N can be controlled with
user programs. The FP-XH M8N Control Unit side si allocated
to the I/O output area (WY125).
General-purpose
output part -
It indicatest the 8-point DC input circuits and 8-point transistor
output circuits connected to the terminal block of the FP-XH
M8N Control Unit.
Motion control part -
It indicates the parts relating to the motor control, interface for
the RTEX network and pulse input interface in the FP-XH
M8N Control Unit.
Axis number Node number
The axis numbers controlled by the FP-XH M8N Control Unit
match the node numbers of the servo amplifier connected to
the RTEX network.
