SYSMAC Board

Operation Manual

A SYSMAC Board is an ISA bus-compatible board that provides functionality

equivalent to a SYSMAC C200HG or C200HX PLC. It is installed as an expan

sion board in an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer. The features of the SYS

MAC Board are described next.

The SYSMAC Board is a fully functional PLC that operates within a personal

computer. It is functionally equivalent to the SYSMAC C200HG-CPU43-E or

C200HX-CPU64-E PLC. The equivalent PLC depends on the type of SYSMAC

Board used.

A Programming Device can be connected to the RS-232C port on the Board to

program it the same as a C200HX or C200HG PLC. Programming Devices can

be connected to either the RS-232C port or the peripheral port when an Expan

sion Option Board is used.

A C language library for the SYSMAC Board can be used in user applications

running on the computer to read/write Board memory, monitor Board status, and

control Board operation. In this sense, the computer can serve as a host com

puter for the SYSMAC Board.

The Microsoft C/C++ Ver. 7.0 C library is used, and small, medium, large, huge,

and compact memory models are supported. Windows Drivers, called the Fins

Gateway for Windows 95 and FinsGateway for Windows NT, are sold sepa

rately.

There are no I/O points provided on the Board itself, but it can be connected to up

to three C200HX or C200HG Expansion I/O Racks to enable I/O though

mounted I/O Units.

The Board is provided with 16K or 32K words of EEPROM built into it. This

EEPROM can be used exactly like the C200HW-ME16K and C200HW-ME32K

Memory Cassettes mounted to C200HX or C200HG PLCs. (The EEPROM can

not be removed from the Board.)

If a C200PC-EXP01 Expansion Option Board is used, the same RS-232C con

nector and peripheral connector as the C200HX or C200HG PLCs can be used.

The use of an Expansion Option Board enables the SYSMAC Board to be con

nected to other PLCs and Programming Console, and allows a rich variety of

communications, such as Host Link, RS-232C no-protocol, 1:1 PLC Link, 1:1 NT

Link, and 1:n NT Link communications, just as for C200HX or C200HG PLCs.

When an Expansion Option Board is used, however, the RS-232C port on the

SYSMAC Board cannot be used.

The following Special I/O Units for use with C200HX/HG/HE PLCs can be

mounted to the Expansion I/O Racks connected to the Board

1. If the SYSMAC Board uses fixed allocations for CompoBus/D Master func

tion or the CompoBus/D Master Unit, the words allocated in memory will

overlap with the area used for remote I/O, so the SYSMAC BUS Remote I/O

Master Unit cannot be used at the same time.

2. The Group-2 B7A Interface Units and Group-2 High-density I/O Units are

available in 32-point or 64-point models. Since 64-point models are allo

cated the words for two 32-point models, the maximum number of 64-point

models that can be mounted is half the number of 32-point models.

3. The maximum number of CompoBus/D Master Units that can be mounted

includes the SYSMAC Board’s CompoBus/D Master function.

If the SYSMAC Board uses fixed allocations for the CompoBus/D Master

function and CompoBus/D Master Unit, the words allocated in memory will

overlap with the area used for remote I/O. Therefore, only one CompoBus/D

Master Unit can be mounted (refer to 1-6 CompoBus/D Master Unit Func

tion), and SYSMAC BUS Remote I/O Master Units cannot be used at the

same time. The CompoBus/D Configurator must be used to allocated other

words if the fixed allocations are not used.

4. The maximum number of CompoBus/S Master Units that can be mounted

includes the SYSMAC Board’s CompoBus/S Master function.

If the SYSMAC Board’s CompoBus/S Master function and CompoBus/S

Master Unit are used when the number of Units that can be connected is set

to IN 0 to 15/OUT 0 to 15. twice the number of words will be used in the Spe

cial I/O Unit Area, so the maximum number of CompoBus/S Masters that

can be mounted will be halved. (Refer to 1-7 CompoBus/S Master Unit

Function.
