Outline Section 1-1
User-specified
Location of Block
Diagrams (CX-
Process Tool Ver. 5.0
or Higher)
CX-Process Tool Ver. 5.0 or higher enables user-specified location of block
diagrams.
Easy Backup
Function Improved
Tag, Comment, and Other Data Also Backed Up
Block diagram information, tags, comments, and annotation data is now
backed up. Previously this data was not included in the data backed up by the
easy backup function.
Flash Memory Data Backed Up Instead of RAM Data
For LCB01/03/05 Ver. 3.0 or later, the easy backup function backs up the data
in flash memory rather than the data in RAM. This means that a verification
error will not occur for the backup function even if the data in RAM has been
changed by program execution in the Loop Controller. (Previously an error
would occur.)
1-1-6 Upgraded Functions for LCB01/05 and LCB03 Version 3.5
Segment Program 3 Block (Block Model 158) Added
Up to 100 Steps Can Be
Used
The maximum number of steps that can be used per program has been
increased to 100, making it easier to create more complex temperature con-
trol programs.
Built-in Bank (e.g., PID)
Switching Function
A built-in bank (e.g., PID) switching function makes it possible to change to
the optimum PID parameters when moving between steps.
Auto-tuning Commands
for PID Blocks
Auto-tuning can be started from the Segment Program 3 block for a Basic PID
block (Block Model 011) or an Advanced PID block (Block Model 012), making
it easy to execute auto-tuning for each step.
Batch Reading and
Writing of Program
Pattern Data from and to
the CPU Unit
Program data and other data can be read from the LCB to the DM Area of the
CPU Unit, or written from the DM Area to the LCB, making it easy to quickly
replace program data.
Time Data Added The following data is output as time information during temperature control
program execution: elapsed time since the run/stop command turned ON,
program total time, step time output, step remaining time, program time out-
put, and program remaining time.
Data Backup during Loop Controller Operation Added
By using an external backup specification in the System Common block
(Block Model 000), function block data can be backed up to Flash memory
during Loop Controller operation without using the CX-Process Tool.
Function Block Data Replacement (Direct Recovery) Added
The simple backup function supported by the LCB01, LCB03, and LCB05 has
been further improved. Previously, a Memory Card was required both for
backup (LCB to Memory Card) and restoration (Memory Card to LCB). The
improved function allows data to be restored using a communications com-
mand (FINS command) with no need for a Memory Card. Function blocks in
the LCB can thus be overwritten by using communications from a host per-
sonal computer.
