The ladder method is most of ten used for programming the sequencecontrol governed by a PMC. This method was derived from relay-panelcontrol circuits. Since it has been in use for years, many sequenceengineers are already familiar with it.The greater the number of functions implemented by the PMC, the largerand the more complicated the sequence program becomes. And it is hardto describe such program for ladder method.To overcome this problem, step sequence method programming has beenintroduced.

(1) What is the step sequence method ?The step sequence is one of the method for programming a sequencecontrol governed by a programmable controller, this method featuresthe direct representation of the control flow on a flow chart. Eachblock of processing is described as a subprogram, using the laddermethod. Therefore it provides an easy-to-understand visualized flowof the processes and is well-suited to the control of entire process.

See 1.2.2 Supported PMC Functions for the machines are able to use thestep sequence.

For the details of the step sequence method, refer to the following manual.

[3.5.2.2.(3) STEP SEQUENCE EDITING]

(2) The configuration of a sequence programA sequence program consists of the following 5 kinds of program unit ;

· The 1st level of ladder· The 2nd level of ladder· The 3rd level of ladder· Subprograms of ladder· Subprograms of step sequence

About size of Expansion memory to be used :

Expansion memory are used for ladder and symbol & comment data asan temporary area. Although, Ladder Editing Package runs with no EMS& XMS, enough size of EMS and/or XMS memory according to thesource program to handle will be necessary for better performance.

(1) Expansion memoryWhen reading ladder programs, Ladder Editing Package uses EMSif available. If EMS is not available, Ladder Editing Package usesconventional memory. When only conventional memory is used, upto 21840 program steps can be created. When 256KB EMS memoryis available, however, up to 32000 program steps can be created. Thesize of EMS is 256KB for all PMC models, regardless of the size ofthe program to be edited.

(2) Expanded memory for Symbol & Comment dataFAPT LADDER uses EMS and/or XMS memory for Symbol &Comment data if available.When neither of them are available, Ladder Editing Package willmake temporary file on the hard diskdrive, and processing largenumber of Symbol & Comment data may be slower.About 200 Kbytes of EMS & XMS memory are used for every 1,000Symbol data.

(3) Expanded memory for Net commentLadder Editing Package also uses EMS and/or XMS memory, ortemporary file as same as Symbol & Comment data. If neither EMSnor XMS is prepared, use hard disk.About 200 to 300 Kbytes of EMS or XMS memory are used for every1,000 Net coment.

Notes� While “Online Editor” is in progress, a program cannot be

stored to the PMC. To enable storing to the PMC, move to“Ladder Monitor”.

� If the CNC is turned off after an edited program is stored tothe PMC but before the program is backed up, the resultsof editing will be lost. When storing a program to the CNC,therefore, backup the program (see Section 3.4.4.3).

A program stored in the PMC or which has been edited with the on–linefunction need to be backed up so that the program is not lost when thepower to the CNC is turned off.

CautionA program being edited or which is currently stored will belost if the power to the CNC is turned off before the programhas been backed up. Always back up such a programbefore turning off the power to the CNC.

2) Restrictions related to a ladder diagram display perscreenIf an attempt is made to display more than 70 ladder netlines per screen, the error described below occurs.a) Symptom(a–1) When there are more than 70 lines per net, the

following message appears.“The NET being created is too large.”If 70 lines are exceeded, the following messageappears, and no net is displayed.“A limit of 70 lines per net was exceeded.”

(a–2) When there are more than 70 lines totaled over twoor more nets, the following message appears.“The NET being created is too large.”If 70 lines are exceeded when totaled over two ormore nets, the following message appears for a netthat is the current net when 70 lines are exceeded,and the display of the current net is discontinued.“The NET is larger than the editing buffer.”In this case, specify the net to be displayed, usingthe ladder diagram search function (such as netnumber search).

b) How to obtain the number of lines per screenEven if part of a net is displayed on a screen, all linesof the net are included in the total for that screen. Inaddition, a space line between nets is counted as avalid line.The number of lines in each net to be displayed isdetermined as follows:

c) Examples of symptomsExample of symptom (a-1)

- The ladder diagram can be edited only when the”total number of message data steps” parameter ofthe DISP instruction (SUB 49) is less than or equalto 396. This is because when the total number ofsteps is 396, the net consists of 70 lines.

8 lines


128

If a net that consists of a total of 396 steps or moreis created during mnemonic editing, the followingmessage appears, and the display of the net isdiscontinued.“The data table is too large.”

Example of symptom (a-2)- If an attempt is made to enter the net of a function

instruction on the same screen as that of a basicinstruction, the following message is displayed,and the attempt is rejected.“The NET being created is too large.”For example, if the basic instruction net has 68lines, the MOVE instruction (SUB 8) cannot beentered, (because the total number of lines exceeds70). The results of calculation are describedbelow.

68-line net

Number of MOVE instruction lines = number of parameters (4) + 1 = 5

68 + 5 = 73 lines

<Measure>If the display of the 68-line net is not scrolled, theMOVE instruction can be entered.- A basic instruction net cannot be entered together

with another basic-instruction net, if the totalnumber of lines is greater than 70.

For example, if a 68-line basic-instruction net isfollowed by another basic-instruction net, theelement of the third line of the latter net cannot beentered.

No more lines can be entered.

- When the CODB instruction (SUB 27) and DISPinstruction (SUB 49) are edited on the samescreen, if an attempt is made to enter 396 as thetotal number of message data steps for the DISPinstruction (SUB 49), the following messageappears, and the attempt is rejected.“The NET being created is too large.”

This symptom also occurs in a combination of twoDISP instructions and a combination of CODB andCOD instructions.For example, if the number of tables for the CODBinstruction is 200, the total number of steps for theDISP instruction can be only 66 at maximum. Thecalculation results are shown below.

3) Restriction on the maximum number of stepsThe maximum number of ladder steps that can be edited is asfollows:

Without EMS : 21840 stepsWith EMS : 32000 steps

Note, however, that the maximum allowable number of stepscan decrease, depending on how memory is used.If a ladder being edited exceeds the maximum allowablenumber of steps, editing is disabled and the followingmessage is displayed:

Notes1 An attempt to scroll a program on the screen with a scroll key

or other keys fails if the ladder program is incomplete (forexample, without addresses) or invalid.A correct ladder program must be created before the screencan be scrolled.

2 Up to eight contacts and one coil can be entered in one lineon the screen. However, this restriction does not apply to a sequenceprogram created in mnemonic format. When a sequenceprogram created in mnemonic format exceeds this limit, it isdisplayed over several lines with a continuation symbol.This continuation symbol cannot be deleted with[ ]. Use [Delnet] (net deletion) to delete thissymbol. (See Item (6) in this section.)

Esc . Then the editing comment is fixed, and the Net

comment editing mode is finished.2) To cancel the editing Net comment, press [cancel]. The

new Net comment will be cancelled and erased.

NoteThe number of characters in a Net comment is limited to4095 bytes: counting one ASCII character as one byte, oneJapanese kana as one byte, one kanji character as twobytes.‘Line feed’ is also available on Net comment. Line feed ishelpful to save memory for Net comment.

(iii)To modify Net comment1) Place the cursor on the Net comment which you want to

modify and press

“ Shift +[netcmt]” or Enter . The Net comment editing

mode becomes active, and the Net comment will beready to modify its contents.

2) At Net comment editing mode, to insert a blank line intoNet comment, press [inslin].

or Esc .

5) To cancel the modifications you have just made, press[cancel]. [cancel] will abandon the modifications and theNet comment will be restored as it was before themodifications.

(iv) To delete Net commentThere are two ways to delete Net comment.1) Use [Delnet] as same as deleting normal ladder nets.

”[command] → [Delnet] → specify area to delete →[exec]”

2) Entering Net comment editing mode by

” Shift +[netcmt]” or Enter with the cursor on the Net

comment which you want to delete, and then press[delete].

(v) Lost Net commentA Net comment consists of the information of position insequence program which is called “Net comment pointer”,and ”Net comment string data” which is comment sentencesthemselves. These two elements are usually combined oneto one to make a Net comment, but the partner might be lostby illegal file operations or something, such as copying theladder file “*.#LA” or modifying the Net comment data file“NETCMT.000” by user. When a Net comment pointer losesits Net comment string data, the Net comment is called “LostNet comment”.Lost Net comment is displayed as blank Net commentenclosed by “(*” and “*)” which is displayed in purple ordimly on monochrome display. Lost Net comment can benormalized by editing operation. Lost Net comment can beedited as a normal Net comment, such as deletion, copyingand so on.

(p) To edit New pageIt is able to specify the position to feed page at printing ladderdiagram. This specification of the position is called “New page”,and each of them occupies two steps in sequence program.

During compilation, an edited source program is translated into an objectfile executable by the PMC. Uncompiled programs cannot use onlinefunction and cannot be transferred to the RAM for the PMC. Compilationcan be performed in one of two modes: normal mode and condensedmode.

CompileTransferred to theROM writerand PMC

Sourceprogram

Objectfile

� Condensed modeA source program can be compiled in condensed mode. When aladder with the same number of steps is compiled in condensed mode,the size of the created object file is smaller than that created in normalmode. As a result, condensed mode has the advantages listed below.

1) A larger C language area can be allocated.

2) Time required for compilation is reduced.3) Time required for transfer from the personal computer to the

PMC is reduced.4) A ROM module with a smaller capacity may be used.On the other hand, condensed mode has the restrictions describedbelow.1) Memory map changes (area expansion) are likely to occur when

instructions, symbols, comments, and so forth are added when aROM format file generated by compilation in condensed modeis transferred to the PMC and edited with the built–in editingfunction. In this case, the user needs to pay attention to possibleoverlap between the ladder area and C language area.

2) A ROM format file generated by compilation in condensed modecannot be compared with a ROM format file generated bycompilation in normal mode.

� Changing the order of subprogramsWhen a program is compiled, the source program, subdivided intosubprograms, is converted to a single ROM file. Within the ROMfile, subprograms are arranged in ascending order of subprogramnumbers.

NoteNet comment has its own character information only in asource program on the personal computer.Compiled object file does not include any net commentcharacters.Only ‘Net comment pointer’( = information of net commentposition.) can be output to object file as an functionalinstruction “NOP”.This ‘Net comment pointer” helps to restore net commentdate at decompiling the object file that is edited on CNCon–line editor.

It enables a password to be added during compilation.

The password can be used to prohibit ladder programs from beingdisplayed or edited. This function requires to be set the program option.(Refer to 3.5.7 Setting program options.)

3.5.8.5 Sample Mnemonic Files(All-format)


234

When using the step sequence method, mnemonic instructions cannot becoded.

The mnemonic conversion functions need following notes:

1) Programming by Mnemonic InstructionsA step sequence program cannot be created with mnemonicinstructions. It is impossible to create a step sequence program witha text editor, or to read the program by means of mnemonic-to-sourceconversion.

2) Source-to-Mnemonic and Mnemonic-to-Source ConversionsIf source-to-mnemonic conversion is executed for a step sequencesource program, only ladder subprograms are converted tomnemonics, step sequence subprograms being ignored. If a stepsequence source program is subjected to source-to-mnemonicconversion, then to mnemonic-to-source conversion, the originalsource program will not be replicated.

The batch file FLMNE.BAT can be executed by suspending the executionof mnemonic editing.

A user’s own batch file generated by editing the contents of theFLMNE.BAT file with a standard text editor can also be executed.

� Example 1The execution of mnemonic editing is suspended and text editor VZ isactivated. (In this case, VZ must be defined in the environment variablePATH beforehand.)

[Operation]

1) Use a standard text editor to create the batch file FLMNE.BATas follows:

VZ

2) Select MNEEDT (mnemonic editing) from the main menu.3) The mnemonic menu screen appears.4) Select ([BATCH] (user batch file execution).5) The following message appears:

Execute ’FLMNE.BAT’.

Add parameter(s)? [A(Add), N(Not add), S(Stop)]

6) Specify A (Add), and specify * .HEX as the parameter. VZ isactivated and a list of files with the extension .HEX is displayed.

7) To restart memu screen of mnemonic, terminate VZ.

Hit any key!

8) Press any key. The screen display returns to the mnemonic menuscreen.

� Example 2The execution of Ladder Editing Package is suspended. Then, thecommand processor COMMAND.COM is activated and DOScommands are enabled. Create FLMNE.BAT as follows:

Notes1 Intel hexadecimal load modules cannot be linked. Before

link operation, convert the file format by referring to theHEX2SREC User’s Manual.

2 With FAPT LADDER-II, ROM format files are no longerused. This means that a ROM format file cannot be createdby compile processing alone, conversion between an objectfile and ROM format file being required. A detaileddescription is given below.

(a) Using method of HEX2SRECIntel hexadecimal load modules cannot be directly linked. Performthe below operation before linking.

[Operation]

1) Execute HEX2SREC.EXE in response to the DOS prompt.Specify as follows:

C:\FLADDER\APPENDIX> HEX2SREC input-file-name output-file-name

2) Conversion is performed.3) Check that specified file names have been created using the DIR

command.4) Specify an output file name (for example, SAMPLE.SR) as the

load module file name for linking.

NoteWhen the extension of an input file name is omitted, theextension “.HEX” is assumed. Output is directed to a filewith the same name but the extension is changed to ”.SR.”The specification of the following files has the same effectin input/output:HEX2SREC SAMPLE.HEX SAMPLE.SRHEX2SREC SAMPLE SAMPLE.SRHEX2SREC SAMPLE.HEXHEX2SREC SAMPLE

(b) Converting between an object file and ROM format fileA ROM format file cannot be created by compiling a source program.Instead, in the case of link processing, the following extra work isrequired.· Before link processing: Conversion from an object file (MCARD

file) to a ROM format file· After link processing: Conversion from a ROM format file to an

object file (MCARD file)For the method of conversion, see 3.5.6.6.

B AUTOMATIC COMPILATION AND DECOMPILATION

(1) Conditions for starting automatic compilation or decompilationWhen [ON–LINE (SELECTED PROGRAM)] has been selectedfrom the initial menu, automatic compilation or decompilation isperformed according to the following conditions:

[Conditions/results]

The start conditions are determined from the results of comparing thetime stamps of the CONTROL and MCARD files for the sourceprogram. The conditions under which these files are updated and theresults of updating are described below.

[File updating conditions]

1) CONTROL fileThe CONTROL file is updated once the source program has beenmodified by using the off–line editing function.

2) MCARD fileThe MCARD file is updated once the source program has beeninput by using the off–line input/output function (for example,after being transferred from the PMC or converted from amemory–card or Handy–File format file), or once processing hasbeen terminated after modifying the ladder program by using theon–line function.

[Results]

1) When the CONTROL file has the most recent time stamp→ Automatic compilation is performed.[Applicable cases]� When no compilation is performed after the program is

edited by using the off–line function� etc

2) When the MCARD file has the most recent time stamp→ Automatic decompilation is performed.[Applicable cases]� When no decompilation is performed after the program is

transferred from the PMC by using the off–line input/outputfunction

� When processing is terminated after the ladder program isedited by using the on–line function

� etc3) When both files have the same time stamp

During uploading

When the FLOADAT command is executed on the PC side, acommunications request is issued for the P–G and reception begins.After all data has been received, DC 3 is sent and transmission iscompleted.1) DC 1 code is sent to the P–G (data transmission request).2) Data is received.3) Completion code is received and reception is completed.4) DC 3 code is sent.Transmission and reception both use the 1–byte machine–dependentBIOS call for input and output.

During downloading

After the P–G issues a transmission request, the P–G enters thewaiting state. FLOADAT is activated in the PC, then transmissionbegins. After all data has been sent, DC 4 is sent and transmissionis completed.1) The P–G issues DC 1.2) DC 2 code is sent to the P–G.3) Data is sent.4) DC 4 code is sent.Transmission and reception both use the 1–byte machine–dependentBIOS call for input and output.

D.4.1.3 Protocol


305

When the transmission speed is faster than reception processing, BUSYcontrol is performed by issuing the DC 1 and DC 3 codes. In the IBMPC/AT series, there is no X parameter, which effectively has the sameresult.

The system will automatically determine which of the following sevenpairs of start and end codes is used. When none of these codes are used,an error message is displayed and operation terminates.

Start code End code

Notes1 The end codes shown here must appear at the beginning of a line.

In other words, strictly speaking, a data reception end code isactually denoted by the sequence CR + LF + an end code. Endcodes (% etc.) appearing within comments are ignored.)

(1) When an LF code (0AH) is received, it is converted into twocharacters, the first of which is CR (0DH) followed by LF (0AH).

(2) When a CR code (0DH) is received, it is discarded.

(3) When an end code (DE) is received, CR (0DH) and LF (0AH) areappended to it in that order.

Until a data start code (DS) is received, data is discarded.

Then key in following command.

CHGMES [INPUT FILE] [OUTPUT FILE] [PMC TYPE]

( [COMPARE FILE] ) Return

INPUT FILE : : A handy file format file that consists of adummy ladder and message data to replace themessage data in the basic message ladder file.Create this file by compiling the source file andconverting to a handy file format file usingFAPT LADDER.

OUTPUT FILE : : A handy file format message file created by thistool.This file contains only message data.By loading this file to the CNC, message data inthe CNC memory can be substituted.

PMC TYPE : : PMC TYPE (RB3 or RB4)Error will occur at key in other than appliedPMCs.

COMPARE FILE : :(Optional)

Basic message ladder file (Handy file format)Please refer to the Fig.“Operation outline”.This tool compares message size of the “INPUTFILE” and the “COMPARE FILE” to determineif there is a match. Then, you can guarantee thatonly the message will be correctry replacedwithout crashing other data when you load the‘OUTPUT FILE’ to CNC.
