FANUC Series 90-30 PLC. Installation and Hardware Manual (GFK-0356Q)

Genius Hand-Held Monitor

The Genius Hand-Held Monitor can be used to display the GBC bus address, its software version,

and the Series Six register address configured for global data. HHM version IC660HHM501H

(revision 4.5) or later is required. There is no Hand-Held Monitor connector on the GBC module,

but a Hand-Held Monitor can communicate with the GBC while connected to any other device on

the bus. Optionally, an additional HHM mating connector can be installed on the bus near the

GBC.

Hand-Held Programmer

The GBC can be configured using a Series 90-30 Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300).

Genius I/O Blocks

Genius I/O blocks can be present on the same bus as the GBC. However, because the Bus

Controller is not compatible with older phase A blocks, they should not be installed on the same

bus.

Genius Bus

The Genius bus is a shielded twisted-pair wire, daisy-chained between devices, and terminated at

both ends. Proper cable selection is critical to successful operation of the system. Suitable cable

types are listed in GEK-90486-1, the Genius I/O System and Communications User’s Manual.

Diagnostics

Genius blocks and other devices on the bus automatically report faults, alarms and certain other

predefined conditions to the PLC.

INPUTS AND FAULT MESSAGE

FROM BLOCK 3

GBC

TOKEN

FAULT

Only one diagnostic message can be sent during any bus scan. If a fault message has already been

sent (by another device) during that scan, a device saves its own diagnostic message until the next

available bus scan. For example, if the communications token is currently at device 3, and faults

occur at devices 3 and 4 at the same time, device 3 can send its diagnostic message if another

message has not already been sent. Device 4 must wait at least one more bus scan to send its

diagnostic message.

The GBC stores any diagnostic messages it receives. They are read automatically by the Series 90-

30 CPU. Faults can then be displayed in the fault table using the programming software. A Genius

Hand-held Monitor must be used to clear the faults from the fault table.

IC693APU301/302 Motion Mate Axis Positioning Module (APM)

The Motion Mate APM is an easy-to-use intelligent, fully programmable one-axis (IC693APU301)

or two-axis (IC693APU302) motion control module for the Series 90-30 PLC. The APM allows a

PLC user to combine high-performance control with PLC logic solving functions in one integrated

system. The APM can be configured to operate in either Standard mode or Follower mode. When

used in Standard mode, it combines high-performance motion control with PLC logic solving

functions in one integrated system. When used in Follower mode, it provides high-performance

“electronic gearing” for continuous master/slave applications. The desired mode is easily selected

by configuring a setup parameter in the configuration software.

Figure 8-10. Motion Mate APM Module

The Series 90-30 and APM operate together as one integrated motion control package. The APM

controls axis motion and handles all direct communications to the drive and machine while the

PLC automatically transfers data between PLC tables and the APM.

The PLC also provides a means for connecting Operator Interfaces, which can control and monitor

system operation. An example of an APM servo system showing the hardware and software used

to configure, program, and operate the system is shown below.

The APM can be installed in any Series 90-30 CPU, expansion, or remote baseplate. For

embedded CPUs (311, 313, or 323), you may have up to three APM modules. For a modular CPU

(331 or higher), you may have up to eight APM modules in one system, with a maximum of three

APM modules per baseplate.

Multiple motion programs may be created and stored in the APM (maximum of 10 may be stored

in the APM) with the Motion Programmer software package. The APM is configured and

programmed with VersaPro software (Version 1.1 or later) or Logic Developer-PLC.

The I/O Processor (IOP) module (IC693APU305) for the Series 90-30 PLC provides direct

processing of rapid pulse signals for industrial control applications such as:

Fast response process control

Velocity measurement

Material handling, marking, and packaging

Direct processing means that the module is able to sense inputs, process the input information, and

control the outputs without needing to communicate with a CPU.

During each CPU sweep, the I/O Processor communicates with the CPU through 32 discrete inputs

(%I), 15 words of analog inputs (%AI), 32 discrete outputs (%Q), and 6 words of analog outputs

(%AQ). The %AQ outputs can be used by the CPU program to set up timer values or send other

controlling parameters to the I/O Processor.

The I/O Processor is configured using the Series 90-30 Hand-held Programmer, Logicmaster

90-30, VersaPro, or Logic Developer-PLC software. Many configuration parameters can be

modified from the user’s application program as well. Each configuration parameter is set to a

factory default value which is suitable for many applications. There are no jumpers or DIP

switches to set on the module. Six green LEDs at the top of the module indicate the operating

status of the module, the status of configuration parameters, and the state of hardware outputs 1

through 4.

Module Features

Module features include:

Up to 12 positive logic (source) inputs with input voltage range selection of either 5 VDC

(TTL) or 10 to 30 VDC (non-TTL).

Up to eight positive logic (source) outputs: four outputs with 1 amp rating and four

configurable outputs with 0.5 amp rating

Outputs protected by replaceable fuse (one fuse common to all outputs)

Dedicated processor provides 500 ∝s I/O update

Counts per Timebase register for input rate measurement

Total Counts register (32-bit) accumulates total counts received by module

Four Strobe data registers for input position capture

Two Timer data registers for indicating input pulse length or input spacing in milliseconds

Thirty-two range comparators (outputs returned in %I and %AI data)

Software configuration

Internal module diagnostics

Individual LEDs that indicate Module OK and Configured OK status

Individual LEDs that indicate state of Outputs 1 through 4

A removable terminal board for connection of field wiring.

Inputs can be used as count signals or edge-sensitive strobe signals. Outputs can be used to drive

indicating lights, solenoids, relays, and other devices.

Power to operate the module’s logic circuitry is obtained from the 5 VDC bus on the baseplate

backplane. Power sources for the input and output devices must be supplied by the user or by the

+24 VDC isolated output of the Series 90-30 power supply. The I/O Processor module provides a

selectable threshold voltage to allow the inputs to respond to either a 5 VDC signal level or a 10 to

30 VDC signal level. The threshold is selected by configuration.

All configuration parameters for the module are downloaded from the PLC to the I/O Processor

after it passes its internal diagnostics. Once the module has been successfully configured, the

CONFIG OK LED will turn on. Configuration parameters can be changed using the

programming/configuration software or the Hand-Held Programmer.

Operation of the I/O Processor module is monitored by a watchdog timer circuit. If the watchdog

timer detects a module failure, it will force all outputs off and turn off the MODULE OK LED.

IC693CMM321 Ethernet Interface Module

The Ethernet Interface module (IC693CMM321) provides an interface that allows you to attach the

Series 90-30 PLC to an Ethernet LAN via an external transceiver and AAUI cable, and to

communicate with hosts and other control devices on the network.

The Ethernet Interface for the Series 90-30 PLC has client/server capability. As a client it can

initiate communications with other PLCs containing Ethernet Interfaces. This is done from the

ladder program using the COMMREQ Function Block. As a server it responds only to requests

from other devices such as a Host computer running a Host Communications Toolkit application or

another Series 90-30 PLC acting as a client.

The Ethernet Interface allows you to:

Directly attach your PLC to an Ethernet network

Initiate transfer of data to the PLC from another device

Communicate simultaneously to multiple devices with up to 16 server connections

Interface with other GE Fanuc devices, as well as with devices from other vendors

Communicate from a Host computer (or other control device)

Diagnose and maintain your system using diagnostic and station management tools

The Ethernet Interface does not support the Series 90-30/20/Micro Hand-Held Programmer. Either

one or two Ethernet Interface modules can be installed in any Series 90-30 baseplate.

The Ethernet Interface connects to an Ethernet network through an external SQE enabled

transceiver (GE Fanuc catalog no. IC649AEA102 or IC649AEA103 or equivalent. See Appendix

J). The following figure shows the layout of the Ethernet Interface.

Four LEDs are located at the top of the board. The Restart pushbutton is located immediately

below the LEDs. The RS-232 serial port with the RJ-11 connector is the Station Manager port.

The RS-485 serial port with the 15-pin D connector located below the Station Manager port is the

module’s Downloader port. The 14-pin AAUI connector, facing downward, is the Transceiver

port. The Default MAC Address label is attached to the outside of the plastic housing.

Board Indicators

There are four LEDs on the Ethernet Interface: OK, LAN, SER, and STAT. These LEDs can be

ON, OFF, BLINKING slow, or BLINKING fast. They indicate the state the Interface is in, traffic

on the Transceiver port and Downloader port, and when an exception event has occurred.

Restart Button

The Restart button serves four functions: LED test, Restart, Restart and Reload, and Restart and

Enter Maintenance Utility. The Restart button is inaccessible when the front cover of the Ethernet

Interface is closed.

Serial Ports

There are two serial ports on the Ethernet Interface: the Station Manager Port and the Downloader

Port.

The Station Manager Port. This RS-232 port is used to connect a terminal or terminal emulator

to access the Station Manager software on the Ethernet Interface. This port uses a 6-pin, RJ-11

connector. The IC693CBL316 Station Manager cable is ideal for connecting to this port (see

Chapter 10 for details).

The Firmware Upgrade Port. The 15-pin, D-type, RS-485 port is used to connect to the PC

Downloader in case the communications software in the Ethernet Interface needs to be updated.

Use the IC690ACC901 miniconverter/cable kit for this connection (see Appendix E for details).

AAUI (Transceiver) Port

The 14-pin AAUI port connects to an external Ethernet-compatible transceiver via an IEEE 802.3

transceiver cable. GE Fanuc catalog number IC649AEA102 (for 10Base T) or IC649AEA103 (for

10Base2) are suitable transceivers (see Appendix J for details).

Default MAC Address Label

The Default MAC Address label lists the Ethernet MAC address to be used by this module.

Serial Number Label

The Serial Number Label indicates the serial number of this Interface.
