FA-M3 Information

General

The Range-free Multi-controller FA-M3 is a next-generation programmable controller, which achieves high performance through its ultra high-speed processing and stable control features. It incorporates a space-saving compact design, supports versatile ranges with cover for up to 8192 input/output points, and is equipped with a variety of advanced modules, which can be used to configure a wide range of applications. With the FA-M3, decreased total cost of ownership (TCO) can be realized through openness, improved functions and reduction in the size of machines and facilities.

Features

The increased speed of the FA-M3 has been achieved as a result of adopting the concept High Speed IPRS which is based on four factors; Instruction, Process, Response and Scan. This contributed to increased accuracy of instruments and productivity. The FA-M3 has also inherited structured programming and uses an “object ladder*” to create an efficient total design, all the way from planning to maintenance.

*: “Object ladder” is a program development concept aimed at dramatically improving customization efficiency by integrating programs and devices into independent objects (e.g., blocks) on function basis.

l Ultra-high Speed Processing

The high-speed instruction processing capability of the FA-M3 makes it ideal for

applications that require high speed and quick response.

- The F3SP22 CPU achieves a scan time of 1 ms for a 6K steps program*.

- The F3SP71 and F3SP76 CPUs achieve a scan time of 1 ms for a 100K

steps program*.

*: The scan times mentioned above can only be a achieved under specific conditions and vary

depending on the contents of the program and system configuration.

l Sensor Control Function

This function allows one CPU to perform a parallel operation at a minimum scan time of 100 µs (200 µs for F3SP2-) while carrying out a main scan during program operation. It enables one block of the program to be executed at high-speed and fixed intervals independently of a main scan, which features high performance and advanced functionalities.

l Built-in Network Function (when using F3SP7-)

These sequence CPU modules have a built-in network function, which complements high-speed control with fast access and storage of large files. With pre-installed support for a wide range of common communication protocols, it enables transfer of large files.

l Built-in Modbus/TCP Slave (Server) Function (when using F3SP7-)

These sequence CPU modules have a built-in Modbus/TCP slave (server) function, which enables communication with a Modbus master (client) device via the module’s communication port without need of programming on the module end.

l Multiple CPUs

The FA-M3 can accommodate up to 4 CPUs in one base module depending on the system size, program size and CPU aptitude. The supported CPU modules include sequence CPU modules.

l Program Reusability

Object ladder allows integration of programs with devices into components on function basis. This improves the reusability of user software and efficiency of machine custom design.

Local Device

Devices used as variables in different user blocks or component macros are completely independent, and can be allocated to different devices even if they share the same name so that global analyses and modification of the device structure for reuse of ladders are not necessary.

l Efficient System Maintenance

Oscilloscope-like Sampling Trace Function and Live Logic Analyzer

The CPU module is capable of acquiring high-speed data, which cannot be acquired using a PC. Various analysis functions, such as inter-point analysis and range adjustment are supported, enabling efficient troubleshooting when equipment fails.

l Open Network

The FA-M3 supports open network protocols such as Ethernet, Ethernet/IP, FL-net, DeviceNet, Modbus, GP-IB, RS-232C/422 and Automated Distribution Protocol, and provides a range of modules for use on a variety of networks ranging from field networks to system configuration networks.
