Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions when designing

Warning
 Please, install protection circuit on the exterior of PLC to protect
the whole control system from any error in external power or PLC
module.
Any abnormal output or operation may cause serious problem in safety
of the whole system.
- Install applicable protection unit on the exterior of PLC to protect the system from
physical damage such as emergent stop switch, protection circuit, the upper/lowest
limit switch, forward/reverse operation interlock circuit, etc.
- If any system error (watch-dog timer error, module installation error, etc.) is detected
during CPU operation in PLC, the whole output is designed to be turned off and
stopped for system safety. However, in case CPU error if caused on output device
itself such as relay or TR can not be detected, the output may be kept on, which
may cause serious problems. Thus, you are recommended to install an addition
circuit to monitor the output status.

 Never connect the overload than rated to the output module nor
allow the output circuit to have a short circuit, which may cause a
fire.

 Never let the external power of the output circuit be designed to

be On earlier than PLC power, which may cause abnormal output or
operation.

 In case of data exchange between computer or other external

equipment and PLC through communication or any operation of
PLC (e.g. operation mode change), please install interlock in the
sequence program to protect the system from any error. If not, it
may cause abnormal output or operation.
Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions when designing

Caution
 I/O signal or communication line shall be wired at least 100mm
away from a high-voltage cable or power line. If not, it may cause
abnormal output or operation.

Safety Instructions when designing

Caution
 Use PLC only in the environment specified in PLC manual or
general standard of data sheet. If not, electric shock, fire, abnormal
operation of the product or flames may be caused.

 Before installing the module, be sure PLC power is off. If not,

electric shock or damage on the product may be caused.

 Be sure that each module of PLC is correctly secured. If the

product is installed loosely or incorrectly, abnormal operation, error or
dropping may be caused.

 Be sure that I/O or extension connecter is correctly secured. If

not, electric shock, fire or abnormal operation may be caused.

 If lots of vibration is expected in the installation environment,

don’t let PLC directly vibrated. Electric shock, fire or abnormal
operation may be caused.

 Don’t let any metallic foreign materials inside the product, which
may cause electric shock, fire or abnormal operation.
Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions when wiring

Warning
 Prior to wiring, be sure that power of PLC and external power is
turned off. If not, electric shock or damage on the product may be
caused.

 Before PLC system is powered on, be sure that all the covers of
the terminal are securely closed. If not, electric shock may be
caused.

Caution
 Let the wiring installed correctly after checking the voltage rated
of each product and the arrangement of terminals. If not, fire,
electric shock or abnormal operation may be caused.

 Secure the screws of terminals tightly with specified torque when

wiring. If the screws of terminals get loose, short circuit, fire or
abnormal operation may be caused.

 Surely use the ground wire of Class 3 for FG terminals, which is

exclusively used for PLC. If the terminals not grounded correctly,
abnormal operation may be caused.

 Don’t let any foreign materials such as wiring waste inside the
module while wiring, which may cause fire, damage on the product
or abnormal operation.
Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions for test-operation or repair

Warning
 Don’t touch the terminal when powered. Electric shock or abnormal
operation may occur.

 Prior to cleaning or tightening the terminal screws, let all the

external power off including PLC power. If not, electric shock or
abnormal operation may occur.

 Don’t let the battery recharged, disassembled, heated, short or

soldered. Heat, explosion or ignition may cause injuries or fire.

Caution
 Don’t remove PCB from the module case nor remodel the
module. Fire, electric shock or abnormal operation may occur.

 Prior to installing or disassembling the module, let all the

external power off including PLC power. If not, electric shock or
abnormal operation may occur.

 Keep any wireless installations or cell phone at least 30cm away

from PLC. If not, abnormal operation may be caused.

3.3 Open KGLWIN File

3.3.1 Open KGLWIN File

It is used to read KGLWIN project file in XG5000 to convert to XG5000 project. The list of the project
convertible items are as follows.
- Program (LD, IL)
- Variable/Comment
- Rung/Output comment
- Basic Parameters
- Monitor Variable

The list excluded items from conversion of the KGLWIN project file into XG5000 project is as follows.
- I/O Parameter
- High-speed link parameter.
- Inside the program (NOP instruction)

I/O Parameter is excluded from conversion since it has different PLC unit and different I/O type.
HS link parameter is excluded from conversion since the process of the HS link in XGT is different from that
of Master-K series PLC. And HS link-related instruction is also excluded from conversion of project.

[Steps]
1. Select [Project] - [Open KGLWIN File] on the menu.
2. Select the folder where KGLWIN project to open is stored in and select KGLWIN project file to convert to
XG5000 project.

Refer to the next chapter for details on errors.

3-13
XG5000 User’s Manual

3.3.2 KGLWIN Project Conversion Rules

1) Device/Memory Area
KGLWIN Project and XG5000 Project are different from each other in device type and memory area.
Since XG5000 can use all the devices KGLWIN uses, and its memory area larger than that of KGLWIN, it
brings the exact details of KGLWIN when converted. However, the user may need to modify the details
for effective application of the memory area, refer to XG5000 memory or using the device function used.

2) Change Variable Name

In XG5000, a space or a special character can not be used in the variable name, and figure can not be
used at the start of variable name. Thus, when the project is converted, the area applicable to the special
character or the space will be converted to ‘_’ automatically. In addition, if the start of the variable name
is with a figure, ‘_’ will be automatically attached in front of figure. If a variable name which was seen in
KGLWIN is not seen when the project converted, carefully check if ‘_’ is included.
KGLWIN or XG5000 uses the Flag Variable respectively. Flags (F device area) are somewhat different
between KGLWIN and XG5000. Accordingly the variable name applicable to the flag will not convert but
follow the XG5000 variable name.
XG5000 regards BIT, WORD type of T, C device area as a variable. If the variables of both BIT and
WORD type are registered in KGLWIN, it shall be selected which variable to use during the conversion.

3) Rung/Line comment
Rung comment and Line comment will be converted 1 to 1. However, since the step number can be
changed while KGLWIN project is converted to XG5000 project, the location of Rung or Line comment in
KGLWIN may be different from the location in XG5000.

4) Basic Parameters
Basic Parameters of KGLWIN Project will be converted to XG5000 Project only in common area based
on the PLC unit.
Example: If K1000S is converted to XGK-CPUH, latch area, timer limit, watch-dog timer, PLC
operation mode, etc. will be converted.

5) Program Converted
If any error occurs on KGLWIN project file, a warning message will appear.

3-14
Chapter 3 Project

Notes
- If any error occurs on LD logic, LD logic may not be converted exactly. Let the error all cleared if
possible and then start to convert.

Application instructions used in Master-K series PLC are somewhat different from those used in XG5000.
Some exceptions generated when converting Application instructions of other programs are as follows.

Instructions with changed LD display

Instruction MK series
CTUD

XGK series

The display format of CTUD has been changed among counter instructions. In front of
UP/DOWN counter instruction, CTUD, always ON flag, F99, must be located. Three output
coils must be created with M area’s remnant addresses which will be used Up/Down, trigger
and counter reset signals, respectively. Information on M area memory used will be
displayed on the result window of XG5000. The user should be careful not to use the area
used by XG5000.
Instructions MK series

Instructions with changed LD display

The display format of CTU, CTD and CTR has been changed among counter instructions.
The instruction displayed in 2-line block in KGLWIN will be displayed as divided in 1 line.
Reset signal must be created with M area’s remnant addresses. Information on M area
memory used will be displayed on the result window of XG5000.. The user should be careful
not to use the area used by XG5000.
Output MK series
instructions
SET/RST
D,
D NOT XGK series

The display format of the instructions above has been changed. D/D NOT instructions are
displayed in –(P)- / -(N)- respectively, and SET/RESET instructions in -(S)- / -(R)-
respectively with the identical operation.
The changed details of the instructions above are displayed on the XG5000’s output window
as “Changed Information: Instruction Name Changed”.
Instructions MK series
(D)ROR(P)
(D)ROL(P)
(D)RCL(P) XGK series
(D)RCR(P)

The number of operands of the instructions above has been changed to 2 due to the
extended function in XG5000. Since these instructions are used to rotate by 1 bit in a word or
double word in KGLWIN, the instructions will fill the default with 1 of the second operand
when converted to XG5000 project. The operation is identical with operation in KGLWIN.
There will not any result message for conversion.
Move MK series
instruction
SR

3-16
Chapter 3 Project

Instructions with changed LD display

XGK series

The SR instructions will be displayed with 4 separate lines. At this moment also, Two output
coils must be created with M area’s remnant addresses which will be used for input and
direction signals. And BRST instruction must be added to reset the data.
Diverge MK series
instructions
JMP,JME

XGK series

While a figure is used for the label for JMP, JME instruction in KGLWIN, XG5000 uses the
String for label. To specify this, XG5000 converts KGLWIN factor of figure to String with
“LABEL_” attached in front for the figure.
The result window messages of the instructions converted are as follows.
JME – Displayed as “Label” in XG5000. Since the instruction name is LABEL internally,
“Changed Information: Instruction Name Changed” will be displayed
JMP – No Changed Information will be displayed on the result window of XG5000.

Chapter 4 Variable/Comment

The user normally uses the devices directly in the program. As a rule, the user needs to know what the
devices are used for in the program. A simple method is to input the Comment in the device. The better
method is to specify a variable in the device and use the variable in the place the device is used. In XG5000,
just one of the comment and the variable, or both of them can be specified in the device. In addition, the
declared variable/comment can be used in all the programs.

4.1 Variable/Comment

Variable/Comment is composed of View Variable, View Device and View Flag.

View Variable is used to declare the variable to be used in the program, or to display the whole list of the
declared variables based on the variables. View Device is used to declare the variable to be used in the
program, or to display the whole list of the declared variables based on the devices. View Flag is used to
display the list of the flags provided as declared. Flags are classified into the system flag, High Speed link
flag, P2P flag and PID flag.

XG5000 User’s Manual

Note

- In case of inputting device in ladder program, memory allocation for automatic variable is done except
already used device area

Ex) In case device auto-allocation area is D0~D100, if D0 is already been using in program,
when allocating automatic variable AA, D0 is not allocated for variable AA and D1 is allocated

- After allocating memory for automatic variable, if that device is used in program, that device changes
into variable. In case deleting automatic variable, variable in programs keeps its name and is
displayed as error format
Ex) In case device auto-allocation area is D0~D100, automatic variable AA is allocated to D0, if
you use D0 in program, it changed variable AA automatically.

- In case of changing area in device auto-allocation area and latch area of basic parameter, part
duplicated with previous area is kept and not duplicated part is changed into new area. In case area
is not included, sets N/A[Auto]. Program and variable window execute update.
Ex) 1) When device auto-allocation area is changed from D0~D100 into M0~M100, memory
allocation of variable AA which already is allocated D0, changes into M0.
2) When device auto-allocation area is changed from D0~D100 into D10~M100, memory
allocation of variable AA which already is allocated D10, doesn’t change.
3) When device auto-allocation area D0~D100 is deleted, memory allocation of variable AA
which already is allocated D0, changes into N/A[Auto].

Chapter 15 XG-SIM

15.1 Getting Started

15.1.1 Features of XG-SIM

XG-SIM is a Windows-based virtual PLC for XGT PLC series. If using XG-SIM, an operator may execute a
created program without PLC and debug a PLC program by using the functions of input setup and module
simulation.

XG-SIM supports the following functions.

1) Program simulation
An operator can simulate a program created by LD/SFC/ST languages. In addition, it supports
modification function during run, with which an operator may apply modification during run of a program
that is operated in XG-SIM, and it supports debugging function that trace a user-created program per step.

2) PLC Online function

Besides program monitoring function provided by XG5000, an operator may user online diagnosis
functions such as system monitor, device monitor, trend monitor, data trace and user event.

3) Module simulation
It also supports simple simulation function for modules mounted in the XGK rack type PLC, such as digital
I/O module, A/D conversion module, D/A conversion module, high speed counter, temperature control
module and positioning module. If using the module simulation function, a program may be simulated by
using input values from the module.

4) I/O input condition setup

The value of device may be set with value of specific device or channel value in a module set as input
conditions. Using I/O input condition setup function may realize the program simulation as created with no
PLC program separately created to test a created PLC program.

15.1.2 System Requirements for the Execution of XG-SIM

Minimum requirements: Pentium3 900MHz, 256MB RAM
Recommended requirements: Pentium4 1.5GHz, 512MB and higher RAM

XG-SIM requires higher system specifications than XG5000. If the minimum requirements are adopted, scan
cycle may be extended longer than the set fixed cycle and constant scan may not work properly, probably
resulting interruption of access. In addition, even the recommended requirements may suffer from the same
symptoms. Then, irrespective of system requirements, access may be interrupted according to user’s setting
such as SLEEP mode.

Notes
- If using fixed cycle, fixed cycle error/warning dialog box is not displayed.

15.1.3 XG-SIM Execution

1. By executing XG5000, create a program to run on XG-SIM.

2. Select [Tools] – [Start Simulator] in XG5000 Menu. If XG-SIM is started, a created program is automatically
downloaded onto XG-SIM. After XG-SIM is executed, it goes to Online, Access and Stop.

3. By selecting [Online] – [Change Mode] – [Run] in XG5000 Menu, execute the downloaded program. For
available online menus of XG5000 when XG-SIM is executed, refer to the following table.

15.2.3 I/O Condition

I/O Condition is a function to write data to an address or ranges of addresses when a condition is met. i.e “if
Bit %IX0.0.0 is 1” then write a “1” to the address range of %MX0 through %MX100.

The XG-SIM I/O condition function provides convenience in changing device data values when simulating a
PLC program. This includes simulating data received from or data sent to a module configured in the PLC
and referenced in the PLC program.

1) Conditional statement
A conditional statement may be used singly or as multiple conditions combined to generate a data value
change in the PLC program.

Where, device or channel is to be compared. For instance, if expressing ‘M0000 is larger than 100 and
device M000010 is On’ as a conditional statement, it may be expressed as follows.

(M0000 > 100) && (M000010 == TRUE)

As an example, if M0000 is greater than 100 AND bit device M000010 is ON, it would be written as follows
below. The chart below designates the data types.

15.2.4 Module Simulation

XG-SIM provides a simple simulation function for I/O module and special module. In case of digital I/O
module, it supports I/O function for I or Q area; for special modules, it supports the monitoring function for
analogue value receiving from or sending to.

1) Module setting
The module simulation function provided by XG-SIM uses the information set in the I/O parameter of
XG5000. Therefore, it is necessary to set a module in the I/O parameter in order to simulate the module in
the program.

i.e. to simulate the PLC system with the following configuration, it is necessary to set I/O parameter as
presented in the figure.

Base Slot Module Module type

Basic base 0 XGI-D21A DC 24V 8 point input module

Basic base 1 XGF-AV8A Voltage type A/D module(8 ch)
Basic base 2 XGF-HO2A Open collector type high speed counter module (2 ch)

After XG-SIM is started, system monitor shows the module set in I/O parameter as presented in the figure.

Notes
- For details of I/O parameter editing and the parameter setting by modules, refer to XG5000 Manual.
- To apply the details of I/O parameter set in XG5000, it is necessary to download I/O parameter to
XG-SIM again. If the type of a selected module is changed, XG-SIM should be restarted.

Chapter 18 Exclusive Functions for Event Input Module

18.1 Overview

The XGF-SOEA Module (hereinafter, the “event input module”) is for the recording of the events entered
from outside. The event input module is a data recording device which can record event information (time
and state) in 1ms resolution. The event input module does not have program device or external device used
in the CPU. The event input is available only for monitoring and file saving using the SOE monitor.

1. XGK/I/R CPU: saves 3,000 events at maximum

(Up to 3,000 events can be saved in the order of occurrence.)
2. XGF-SOEA module: saves 300 events at maximum

18.1.1 Characteristics of SOE Monitor

1. This is a software package for the operation and monitoring of the XGF-SOEA module of XGT series.
2. This package provides a function that enables independent operation of the SOE monitor, regardless of
the XG5000.
3. This enables data monitoring and saving.

18.1.2 Functions of the SOE Monitor

The SOE monitor is an exclusive software package which runs on a PC platform and communicates with the
CPU of XGK. XGI or XGR series for easy and fast operation of XGF-SOEA.
The major functions of the SOE monitor are as follows.
1. Read/save event history
2. Delete event history
3. View module parameter setting
4. Save event history in and Excel file

18.1.3 Files Created in the SOE Monitor

When the user creates and edits a project, the files having the extensions below are created.
1. <Name>.set: the logging file for the event the user has created. This file is created at saving the event.
2. <Name>.xls: the module event file created by the user. Event record is saved in an Excel file.

immediately without the inconvenience of exporting or importing as a CSV file. In addition, Driveview7
makes it easier to configure communication settings by using the inverter list in the project.

1) Previous using method

To use XG5000’s variables and comments in XP-Builder, use CSV format file.

Variables and comments export function is used in XG5000 to save variable / comment as CSV file. In
XP-Builder, the file saved in XG5000 is used by 'importing into tag group'. If the variable / comment
created in the XG5000 changes frequently, this process is repeated.

XG5000 User’s Manual

2) Using method in the tool integration environment

To use XG5000’s variables and comments in XP-Builder, double-click HMI item in XG5000 project tree.

In the tool integration environment, it is not necessary to save the variable / comment items used in the
xg5000 as a separate file, and even if the variable / comment changes, exporting to the file is not
necessary. This can reduce overall engineering time.
