Peripheral Devices

The following peripheral devices can be used in programming, either to input/

debug/monitor the PC program or to interface the PC to external devices to

output the program or memory area data. Model numbers for all devices

listed below are provided in Appendix A Standard Models. OMRON product

names have been placed in bold when introduced in the following descrip

tions.

Programming Console

Graphic Programming

Console: GPC

A Programming Console is the simplest form of programming device for OM

RONPCs. It is connected directly to the CPU without requiring a separate

interface. Programming Console operations are described later in this manu

al. The Programming Console cannot be used when a Peripheral Interface

Unit or CPU-mounting Host Link Unit is connected.

The GPC allows you to perform all the operations of the Programming Con

sole as well as many additional ones. PC programs can be written on-screen

in ladder-diagram form as well as in mnemonic form. As the program is writ

ten, it is displayed on a liquid crystal display, making confirmation and modifi

cation quick and easy. Syntax checks may also be performed on the pro

grams before they are downloaded to the PC. Many other functions are avail

able, depending on the Memory Pack used with the GPC.​

Section 1-7

The GPC also functions as an interface to copy programs directly to a stan

dard cassette tape recorder. A PROM Writer, Floppy Disk Interface Unit, or

Printer Interface Unit can be directly mounted to the GPC to output programs

directly to an EPROM chip, floppy disk drive, or printing device, respectively.

The GPC is connected to a Mini H-type PC via a Peripheral Interface Unit.

Ladder Support Software:

LSS

Factory Intelligent Terminal:

FIT

PROMWriter

Printer Interface Unit

Data Access Console

LSS is designed to run on IBM AT/XT compatibles to enable all of the opera

tions available on the GPC.

The LSS is connected to a Mini H-type PC via a Peripheral Interface Unit or

the RS-232C interface.

The FIT is an OMRON computer with specially designed software that allows

you to perform all of the operations that are available with the GPC or LSS.

Programs can also be output directly to an EPROM chip, floppy disk drive, or

printing device without any additional interface. The FIT has an EPROM

writer and two 3.5” floppy disk drives built in.

The FIT is connected to a Mini H-type PC via a Peripheral Interface Unit or

the RS-232C interface.

Use only the GPC with the PROM Writer to write programs to EPROM chips.

Use only the GPC with the Printer Interface Unit connected to a printer or

X–Y plotter to print out programs in either mnemonic or ladder-diagram form.

The Data Access Console can be used to monitor or change data in the TC,

IR and SR areas. It has two levels of operations, one of which protects cer

tain areas from being changed. It also provides certain special functions,

such as keyboard mapping to data areas. (The PC must be set to either Jap

anese or English to use the Data Access Console.)

1-7 Available Manuals

The following table lists other manuals that may be required to program and/

or operate the Mini H-type PCs. Operation Manuals and/or Operation Guides

are also provided with individual Units and are required for wiring and other

specifications

CPUindicators provide visual information on the general operation of the PC.

Although not substitutes for proper error programming using the flags and

other error indicators provided in the data areas of memory, these indicators

provide ready confirmation of proper operation.

CPUindicators are described in the following table. Indicators are the same

for all Mini H-type PCs.

2-2 PCConfiguration

With a Mini H-type PC System, you can set up a configuration utilizing any

where from 20 to 240 I/O points. Depending on the number of I/O points you

need, you can choose any of the four PCs (C20H, C28H, C40H, or C60H)

and combine it with up to three Expansion I/O Units for a total of four Units in

a PCSystem.

For example, if you only need a very simple system, a C20H PC alone will

provide 12 input and 8 output points. For more sophisticated operations, a

C60H PCcan beconnected with three C60H Expansion I/O Units to provide

128 input and 112 output points. You can select any other combination of

Units within this range, which will provide exactly the capacity you require for

your Control System.

For detailed explanations of possible system configurations, refer to the ap

propriate sections of the Mini H-type PCs: C20H, C28H, C40H, C60H Instal

lation Guide.

RS-232C and Peripheral

Device Interfaces

The Mini H-type PCs have a built-in RS-232C interface, which allows them to

connect directly to an FA Computer, Display Terminal, commercially available

printers, and other devices which employ an RS-232C interface. Mini H-type

PCs equipped with an E-V1-version CPU can transfer data with similarly

equipped Mini H-type PC’s through the RS-232C interface.

In addition, the built-in Peripheral Interface Unit connector allows connection

to an FA Computer via a CPU-mounting Host Link Unit, and the built-in Pe

ripheral Device (Console) interface allows connection to a Programming

Console or a Data Access Console.
