■ General Requirements for Using FA-M3 Controllers
● Avoid installing FA-M3 controllers in the following locations:

• Where the instrument will be exposed to direct sunlight, or where the operating tem-
perature is outside the range 0° to 55°C.
• Where the relative humidity is outside the range 10 to 90%, or where sudden tempera-
ture changes may occur and cause condensation.
• Where corrosive or inflammable gases are present.
• Where the instrument will be exposed to direct mechanical vibration or shock.
● Securely tighten screws:

• Securely tighten module mounting screws and terminal screws to avoid problems
such as faulty operation.
● Securely fasten connectors of interconnecting cables:

• Securely fasten connectors of interconnecting cables, and check them thoroughly
before turning on the power.
● Interlock with emergency-stop circuitry using external relays:

• Equipment incorporating the FA-M3 controllers must be furnished with emergency-
stop circuitry that uses external relays. This circuitry should be set up to interlock
correctly with controller status (stop/run).
● Ground FA-M3 controllers to an independent Japanese Industrial Standard

(JIS) Class 3 Ground:
• Avoid grounding the FG terminal of the FA-M3 controller to the same ground as high-
voltage power lines. Ground the terminal to an independent JIS Class 3 ground
(ground resistance up to 100 Ω).
● Observe countermeasures against noise:

• When assigning inputs/outputs, the user should avoid locating AC-supplied I/O mod-
ules in the vicinity of the CPU module.
● Keep spare parts on hand:

• Stock up on maintenance parts, including spare modules, in advance.
● Discharge static electricity before operating the system:

• Because static charge can accumulate in dry conditions, first touch grounded metal to
discharge any static electricity before touching the system.
● Never use solvents such as paint thinner for cleaning:

• Gently clean the surfaces of the FA-M3 controllers with a piece of soft cloth soaked in
water or a neutral detergent.
• Do not use solvents such as paint thinner for cleaning, as they may cause deforma-
tion, discoloration, or malfunctioning.

<Toc> <Ind> <Rev> <Preface> v
● Avoid storing the FA-M3 controllers in places with high temperature or
humidity:
• Since the CPU module has a built-in battery, avoid storing it in places with high tem-
perature or humidity.
• Since the service life of the battery is drastically reduced by exposure to high tem-
peratures, so take special care (storage temperature can be from -20° to 75°C).
● Always turn off the power before installing or removing modules:

• Turn off power to the power supply module when installing or removing modules,
otherwise damage may result.
● When installing ROM packs and changing switch settings:

• In some modules you can remove the right-side cover and install ROM packs or
change switch settings. While doing this, do not touch any components on the printed-
circuit board, otherwise components may be damaged and modules fail.

CAUTION

CAUTION
The analog input module uses a differential input circuit in each channel. So, this enables
multiple signal sources superimposing common-mode voltage to connect to one F3AD08-
1N module. However, if the common-mode voltage exceeds its allowable limits, input read
errors occur or modules may be damaged. The common-mode voltage implies the poten-
tial of IN - in each channel, which is connected to the AG terminal.
(a) Use a shielded twisted pair to connect the signal source to the F3AD08-1N module.
(b) Connect the shielding wire of the twisted pair to the shield terminal of the F3AD08-1N
module. The SHIELD terminal of the F3AD08-1N is connected to the frame ground
(FG) terminal of the power supply module via the base module.
(c) If a signal source to which the common-mode voltage is not superimposed, or a signal
source with its negative (-) line not grounded is connected to the signal source with the
common-mode voltage, connect a negative input signal line to the AG terminal of the
F3AD08-1N module as Figure 2.12 shows.

2.3 Operation Mode

2.3.1 Functions and Setting of Operation Mode
The Operation mode involves the input signal range, channel skipping, scaling and filtering
functions. Items to be set in individual functions as well as their default values are listed in
Table 2.7.
Table 2.7 Functions in Operation Mode and Items to Be Set
Functions Items to be set Default value Description
Input signal range -10 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V or
- 10 to 10 V DC Section 2.3.1 (1)
1 to 5 V DC
Channel skip Skipped or not skipped Not skipped Section 2.3.1 (2)
Scaling Scaling or no scaling No scaling Section 2.3.1 (3)
Filter Used or not used Not used Section 2.3.1 (4)
Any function in the operation mode can be set in each channel. Set 16-bit data to data
position numbers set for each channel. For this setting, use a special-module write instruc-
tion in a ladder diagram or a BASIC statement as Table 2.8 shows.

* 2: Set the upper and lower limit values as well (see Section 2.3.1 (3)).
Figure 2.17 Correspondence between Functions in Operation Mode and 16-bit Data
Note: The default value is 0 for bit numbers 0 through 15.
TIP
The set values in the operation mode are canceled whenever the power is turned off. When
the power supply is recovered, the module operates on default values. Set the operation
mode each time the power is supplied.

Example 1
When such operation mode functions as the input signal range of 0 to 5 V DC, channel not
skipped, scaling functions available, and filter not provided are set to channel 1 for the
module installed in slot number 004:
(1) Set by WRITE instructions for a special module in the ladder diagram
M035
WRITE $5000 004 501 1
SEE ALSO
Section 5.1.3 for details on ladder instructions.
(2) Setting with a BASIC statement CONTROL 4, 1: $ 5000

Note: After declaring modules to be used with an ASSIGN statement, set the required operation mode.
SEE ALSO
Section 5.2.7 for details on BASIC instructions.
Example 2
When such operation mode functions as the input signal range of 0 to 5 V DC, channel not
skipped, scaling functions available, and filter not provided are set to channels 1 through 4
for the module installed in slot number 004:
M035
WRITE $5000 004 501 4
(1) Input Signal Range

There are three voltage signal ranges for the input signal ranges. The signal ranges in
which the analog to digital conversion can be attained are as follows:
Table 2.9 Input Signal Range
Input signal ranges Applicable input signal ranges
-10 to 10 V DC -11.0 to 11.0 V DC
0 to 5 V DC -0.25 to 5.25 V DC
1 to 5 V DC -0.25 to 5.25 V DC
* As the default values, the input signal ranges from -10 to 10 V DC.

(2) Channel Skip
The Channel Skip features to stop the analog to digital (A/D) conversion in channels that
are not in use. Data in channels that the Channel Skip is set are not updated. This will
obtain a data update period of 1 ms3 (number of channels used).
The default value is set to "Channel Not Skipped." The A/D conversion in all channels is
carried out. The data update period in all channels is 4 ms for F3AD04-0N and 8 ms for
F3AD08-1N.
(3) Setting Scaling Functions and Upper and Lower Input Values
The digital output values corresponding to the upper and lower input values in the input
signal range can be set from -20000 to 20000 arbitrarily. Scaling enables you to obtain
easy to handle types of data. To implement the scaling, do the following:
1) Set "Scaling" in the operation mode.
SEE ALSO
Section 2.3, "Operation Mode."
2) Set digital output values corresponding to the upper and lower input values in the input
signal range to the data position number for scaling functions set for each channel.
For this, use a special module WRITE instruction in the ladder diagram or a BASIC
statement.
Table 2.10 Data Position Numbers for Scaling
Set items Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 Channel 4 Channel 5* Channel 6* Channel 7* Channel 8*
Digital output values Ladder 520 530 540 550 560 570 580 590

corresponding to lower
limit values in the input BASIC 21 31 41 51 61 71 81 91
signal range.
* Specifications only for F3AD08-1N module.
Digital output values corresponding to the upper and lower limit values in the input signal
range can be set within the following limits:
• -20000 # N # 20000 (N = integer)
• Upper limit values must be more than lower limit values.

TIP
No scaling will be conducted in cases where:
• The upper or lower limit value is set as N < -20000 or 20000 < N,
• Values other than integer values are set,
• Upper limit values are equal to or less than lower limit values, and
• Scaling is set in the operation mode, but upper and lower limit values are not set.
CAUTION
After the scaling operations, digits after the decimal point will be truncated.
Setting Example
When channel 1 for the module installed in slot 004 is scaled to 0 to 10000:
1) Setting with a special module WRITE instruction in the ladder diagrams.
M035
WRITE $D000 004 501 1 Setting operation mode
M035
WRITE 10000 004 520 1 Setting upper limit value (for scaling)
WRITE 10000 004 521 1 Setting lower limit value (for scaling)
SEE ALSO
2) Setting with a BASIC statement

CONTROL 4,1;$D000 Setting Operation Mode
CONTROL 4,20;10000 Setting Upper Limit Value of Scaling
CONTROL 4,2;0 Setting Lower Limit Value of Scaling
Note: After declaring the use of modules with an ASSIGN statement, carry out the required scaling.

(4) Filter Functions and Setting Filter Set Values

To cancel noise superimposed on the input voltage, set the first-order lag, low-pass filter
functions by software applications.
Use filters in the following procedures:
1) Set the Filter in Use in the operation mode.
SEE ALSO
Section 2.3, "Operation Mode."
2) Set the filter set values to filter data location numbers, which are set for individual
channels, either with a special module WRITE instruction in the ladder diagram or with
a BASIC statement.

3.4 Operation Mode

3.4.1 Functions and Setting of Operation Mode
(1)Scaling Functions and Setting of Upper- and Lower-Limit Values

Digital input values corresponding to the upper- and lower-limit values in the output signal
range can be set to -20000 to 20000. Using the scaling functions, users can convert data
to easy-to-handle data. To use scaling functions, set to the data location numbers for
scaling, which have been set on a channel-by-channel basis, digital input values corre-
sponding to the upper- and lower-limit values in the output signal range either with a special
module WRITE instruction in the ladder diagram or with a BASIC statement.

* Specifications for F3DA04-1N and F3DA08-5N.

** Specifications only for F3DA08-5N.
Digital input values which correspond to the upper- and lower-limit values in the output
signal range can be set within the limits specified below:
-20000 # N # 20000 (N = integer)
Upper-limit values must be greater than lower-limit values.
TIP
If any of the following setting is made, no scaling functions will be provided.
• In cases where N, even though its range must be N < -20000 or 20000 < N, is set as an upper-limit or
a lower-limit value.
• In cases where N is not an integer.
• In cases where upper limit values # lower limit values. If any of these settings is carried out, input to
output conversion characteristics with no scaling will remain.

Setting examples:
When channel 1 of the module installed in slot number 005 is scaled from -10000 to 10000:

When the sequence CPU fails, the output is held.
• For F3DA04-1N and F3DA08-5N
If "operation mode when the sequence CPU fails," listed in the table below, is set, the
reset output is provided when the sequence CPU fails. For the set items and default
values, see Table 3.11. The default values are those assumed when no values have
been set.

The operation mode in a sequence CPU failure can be set on a channel-by-channel

basis. To set output values in a sequence CPU failure, set 1 to a data location number
(bit number 15) both for operation mode in a sequence CPU failure and for output
values in a CPU failure, which are defined on a channel-by-channel basis (refer to
Table 3.9 and Figure 3.17). For this setting, use either a special module WRITE
instruction or a BASIC statement (refer to the following description).

TIP
The set items in operation mode in a sequence CPU failure will be canceled if the power turns off. When
the power turns on, the module will then work in default operation mode. Set the operation mode in a
sequence CPU failure each time the power turns on. If the "Set Value Output" in the operation mode in a
sequence CPU failure is set, but the "output values in a CPU failure" is not set, the module will operate as
output values in a CPU failure remain 0 (zero).

4.1 Attaching Modules

Figure 4.1 shows how to attach the analog input/output module to the base module. First
hook the anchor slot at the bottom of the module to be attached onto the anchor pin on the
bottom of the base module. Push the top of the module in the direction of the arrow shown
in the figure (toward the base module) until the yellow, spring-loaded anchor/release button
clicks into place.

Figure 4.1 Attaching Module
CAUTION
DO NOT bend the connector on the rear of the module by force during the above operation.
If the module is forcibly pushed with its improper connection, the connector may bend and
this damage will cause a module installation error during the self-diagnosis.
4.2 Detaching Modules

To remove the module from the base module, reverse the above operation by pressing the
yellow anchor/release button to unlock it, and tilting the module away from the base mod-
ule. Then lift the module off of the anchor pin at the base.

4.3 Installing Modules in Severe Vibration

Environments
If the modules are used in intense vibration environments, fasten the modules with a screw
directly beneath the yellow anchor/release button as shown in Figure 4.2. For this, use a
12-mm long M4 binder screw. With an appropriate Phillips screwdriver, tighten the upper
side of the module with this screw. During this operation, the user must tilt the screwdriver
somewhat using the guide channel at the top of the module. A clearance of approximately
80 mm between the module and the duct above it is necessary to allow the screwdriver to
access the screw.
CAUTION
During the above installation, DO NOT overtighten the module fixing screw.

6.1 How to Handle Possible Errors

Q. What should be done when the ALM indicator is on? Will there be a problem if it is left
as it is?
A. The indicator is faulty. If it is left as it is, the accuracy in the specifications cannot be
attained. Contact your nearest Yokogawa representative or sales office and have it
replaced.
Q. A/D conversion results cannot be read.

A. Verify the following:
(1) Is the RDY indicator on? Yes→ A1 No→ (2)
(2) Is the RDY indicator on if the module is inserted in another slot?
Yes→ A2 No→ A3
CAUTION
The module should be inserted or removed after switching off the power supply module.
Otherwise the module may be damaged.
A1. Verify the address being read and the operation mode of each channel. If the address
being read is correct and there is no error in the setting of the mode, the module be
faully. Contact your nearest Yokogawa representative or sales office.
A2. The backboard may be faulty Contact your nearest Yokogawa representative or sales
office.
A3. The module may be faulty. Contact your nearest Yokogawa representative or sales
office.

(1) Are the voltage and capacity of the external power supply as per the specifica-
tions?
Yes→ (2) No→ A1
(2) Is the RDY LED on? Yes→A2 No→ (3)
(3) Is the RDY LED on if the module is inserted in another slot?
Yes→ A3 No→ A4
CAUTION
The module should be inserted or removed after switching off the power supply module.
Otherwise the module may be damaged.
A1. Connect the external power supply shown in Functional Specifications to the terminal
for the external power supply of the module.
A2. Verify the address being written and the operation mode of each channel. If the ad-
dress being written is correct and there is no error in the setting of the mode, the
module is faully. Contact your nearest Yokogawa represeutative or sales office.
A3. The backboard may be faulty. Contact your nearest Yokogawa represeutative or sales
office.

6.2 Hints on Usage

Q. Describe how to read the 4 to 20 [mA] signal.
A. Connect the 250 [V] resistance between the positive and negative terminals of each
channel. Select the resistance carefully because its precision and stability influence
the conversion results of the F3AD04-0N and the F3AD08-1N. Precision of the resis-
tance is not necessary when using it after calibration of the system using the scaling
function. For information on the scaling function, refer to Section 2.3 "Operation
mode."
Q. Describe how to output the 4 to 20 [mA] signal.

A. It can be output by using the F3AD02-0N and F3DA04-1N. The 4 to 20 [mA] signal
cannot be output in the F3DA08-5N. One terminal each is provided for the current
output and voltage output in the F3DA02-0N and F3DA04-1N. Therefore, ensure that
you connect to the terminal for the current output.
Q. In case of the F3AD04-0N and F3AD08-1N, is it possible to do sampling simulta-

neously on all channels ?
A. No, It is not. There is a difference of 1 [ms] because it samples each channel sequen-
tially.
Q. How much time is required to verify a change in the signal by means of the ladder ?
A. The time required is determined by the number of channels used in the analog input
module, the scan time of the ladder and the timing of occurrence of the change which
is to be detected.
Minimum time is 1 [ms].
Maximum time is 1 + number of channels used + period of ladder [ms].
CAUTION
It is assumed that a digital filter is not used in the F3AD04-0N or F3AD08-1N. When a
digital filter is used, delay in the filter should also be considered.
Q. How much time is required to verify change in the written output data from the ladder
at the analog output module terminal?
A. The time required is determined by the type of analog output module used and the
scan time of the ladder.
Minimum time is 1 [ms].
Maximum time is
3 + period of ladder [ms] (in the case of F3DA02-0N) or,
5 + period of ladder [ms] (in the case of F3DA04-1N and F3DA08-5N).
