The actual Units that will be mounted or connected to PC Racks must be deter
mined according to the requirements of the I/O devices. Actual hardware specifi
cations, such as voltage and current levels, as well as functional considerations,
such as those that require Special I/O Units or Link Systems will need to be con
sidered. In many cases, Special I/O Units, Intelligent I/O Units, or Link Systems
can greatly reduce the programming burden. Details on these Units and Link
Systems are available in appropriate Operation Manuals and System Manuals.
Once the entire Control System has been designed, the task of programming,
debugging, and operation as described in the remaining sections of this manual
can begin.
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 out
put the program or memory area data. Model numbers for all devices listed be
low are provided in Appendix A Standard Models. OMRON product names have
been placed in bold when introduced in the following descriptions.
A Programming Console is the simplest form of programming device for OM
RON PCs. All Programming Consoles are connected directly to the CPU without
requiring a separate interface. The Programming Console also functions as an
interface to transfer programs to a standard cassette tape recorder.
Various types of Programming Console are available, including both
CPU-mounting and Hand-held models. Programming Console operations are
described later in this manual.
The GPC allows you to perform all the operations of the Programming Console
as well as many additional ones. PC programs can be written on-screen in lad
der-diagram form as well as in mnemonic form. As the program is written, it is
displayed on a liquid crystal display, making confirmation and modification quick
and easy. Syntax checks may also be performed on the programs before they
are downloaded to the PC. Many other functions are available, depending on the
Memory Pack used with the GPC.
A Peripheral Interface Unit is required to interface the GPC to the PC.
The GPC also functions as an interface to copy programs directly to a standard
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.
LSS is designed to run on IBM AT/XT compatibles to enable all of the operations
available on the GPC
A Peripheral Interface Unit or Host Link Unit is required to interface a comput
er running LSS to the PC. Using an Optical Host Link Unit also enables the use of
optical fiber cable to connect the FIT to the PC. Wired Host Link Units are avail
able when desired. (Although FIT does not have optical connectors, conversion
to optical fiber cable is possible by using converting Link Adapters.)
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. Pro
grams can also be output directly to an EPROM chip, floppy disk drive, or print
ing device without any additional interface. The FIT has an EPROM writer and
two 3.5” floppy disk drives built in.
A Peripheral Interface Unit or Host Link Unit is required to interface the FIT to
the PC. Using an Optical Host Link Unit also enables the use of optical fiber cable
to connect the FIT to the PC. Wired Host Link Units are available when desired.
(Although FIT does not have optical connectors, conversion to optical fiber cable
is possible by using converting Link Adapters.)
Other than its applications described above, the PROM Writer can be mounted
to the PC’s CPU to write programs to EPROM chips.
Other than its applications described above, the Floppy Disk Interface Unit can
be mounted to the PC’s CPU to interface a floppy disk drive and write programs
onto floppy disks.
Other than its applications described above, the Printer Interface Unit can be
mounted to the PC’s CPU to interface a printer or X-Y plotter to print out pro
grams in either mnemonic or ladder-diagram form.
