Device part of  <Figure 1> input Com Port(COM1), Baud Rate(9600), Parity Bit(2 : Fixed to Even), Data Bit(Fixed to 7), Stop Bit(1) respectively, according to device.

 

Reference) SHINKO FC series controller supports the RS-232C and RS-485 communication. In case of using RS-485 communication, you have to use RS-232C -> RS-485 communication converter and etc.

             ( RS-232C -> RS-485 communication converter of SHINKO Corp. : Recommend the IF-300-05 )

2. Writing settings

You can change setting value, etc of controller by using writing setting(regardless of SCAN File).

 

Digital Write

You can control Bit unit(ON/OFF) by using digital write.

 

Digital write setting parameters are as follows :

1) PORT           PORT number which set SHINKO FC communication.

2) STATION      Station Address of SHINKO FC.

3) Address      Hexadecimal address of output Data Item. ( Refer to <Table 2> )

4) Extra1          Memory number. ( Refer to <Table 1> )

Used area : 1 ~ 7,

Unused area : Blank or 0

5) Extra2          Don't care.

 

Write example 1)

Station : 1  Address : 0038  Extra1 : 0, EXTRA2 : Blank

If you set as above and write digital value, you can change(0 : Auto, 1 : Manual) Auto/Manual Control status of no.1 SHINKO FC series.

 

Write example 2)

Station : 1  Address : 0003  Extra1 : 0, EXTRA2 : Blank

If you set as above and write digital value, you can change(0 : Cancel, 1 : Perform) Auto-Tuning status of no.1 SHINKO FC series.

 

Analog Write

You can control/change value of SV, MV and etc by using analog write.

 

Analog write setting parameters are as follows :

1) PORT           PORT number which set SHINKO FC communication.

2) STATION      Station Address of SHINKO FC.

3) Address      Hexadecimal address of output Data Item. ( Refer to <Table 2> )

4) Extra1          Memory number. ( Refer to <Table 1> )

Used area : 1 ~ 7,

Unused area : Blank or 0

5) Extra2          Don't care.

 

Write example 1)

Station : 1  Address : 0001  Extra1 : 1, EXTRA2 : Blank

If you set as above and write analog value, you can change SV value of no.1 memory number for no.1 SHINKO FC series as set value.

 

Write example 2)

Station : 1  Address : 0001  Extra1 : 2, EXTRA2 : Blank

If you set as above and write analog value, you can change SV value of no.2 memory number for no.1 SHINKO FC series as set value.

 

Write example 3)

Station : 1  Address : 0039  Extra1 : 1, EXTRA2 : Blank

If you set as above and write analog value, you can change Manual Manipulated Variable (MV) value of no.1 SHINKO FC series as set value. ( But, it is possible to be set when Auto/Manual Control (38h) is Manual (value is 1) )

 

3. Power and communication setting of SHINKO FC series

 

Power connection

Connect 100 ~ 240 V AC to no.2 and no.3 terminal of the back terminal block for SHINKO FC series(<Figure 4>).

<Figure 4> The back terminal block of SHINKO FC series
Communication cable connection

Connect RS-232C, RS-485 communication cable to no.11 ( Tx ), no.12 ( Rx ), no.16 ( Com ) terminal of SHINKO FC series back terminal block(<Figure 4>).

 

Notice) In case of using RS-485, usually use the RS-232C  <-> RS-485 communication converter. But, in case of SHINKO controller, converter such as <Figure 5> is recommended.

If you want to do communication by using RS-232C  <-> RS-485 communication converter of SHINKO Corp. of <Figure 5>,  Com Baud of FC series device and Com Baud of converter have to be same. (Also, Parity Bit, Data Bit and Stop Bit must be same)
