The actual Units that will be mounted or connected to PC Racks must be deter

mined according to the requirements of the I/O devices. Actual hardware specifi

cations, such as voltage and current levels, as well as functional considerations,

such as those that require Special I/O Units or Link Systems will need to be con

sidered. In many cases, Special I/O Units, Intelligent I/O Units, or Link Systems

can greatly reduce the programming burden. Details on these Units and Link

Systems are available in appropriate Operation Manuals and System Manuals.

Once the entire Control System has been designed, the task of programming,

debugging, and operation as described in the remaining sections of this manual

can begin.

The following peripheral devices can be used in programming, either to input/

debug/monitor the PC program or to interface the PC to external devices to out

put the program or memory area data. Model numbers for all devices listed be

low are provided in Appendix A Standard Models. OMRON product names have

been placed in bold when introduced in the following descriptions.

A Programming Console is the simplest form of programming device for OM

RON PCs. All Programming Consoles are connected directly to the CPU without

requiring a separate interface. The Programming Console also functions as an

interface to transfer programs to a standard cassette tape recorder.

Various types of Programming Console are available, including both

CPU-mounting and Hand-held models. Programming Console operations are

described later in this manual.

The GPC allows you to perform all the operations of the Programming Console

as well as many additional ones. PC programs can be written on-screen in lad

der-diagram form as well as in mnemonic form. As the program is written, it is

displayed on a liquid crystal display, making confirmation and modification quick

and easy. Syntax checks may also be performed on the programs before they

are downloaded to the PC. Many other functions are available, depending on the

Memory Pack used with the GPC.

A Peripheral Interface Unit is required to interface the GPC to the PC.

The GPC also functions as an interface to copy programs directly to a standard

cassette tape recorder. A PROM Writer, Floppy Disk Interface Unit, or Printer

Interface Unit can be directly mounted to the GPC to output programs directly to

an EPROM chip, floppy disk drive, or printing device, respectively.

LSS is designed to run on IBM AT/XT compatibles to enable all of the operations

available on the GPC

A Peripheral Interface Unit or Host Link Unit is required to interface a comput

er running LSS to the PC. Using an Optical Host Link Unit also enables the use of

optical fiber cable to connect the FIT to the PC. Wired Host Link Units are avail

able when desired. (Although FIT does not have optical connectors, conversion

to optical fiber cable is possible by using converting Link Adapters.)

The FIT is an OMRON computer with specially designed software that allows

you to perform all of the operations that are available with the GPC or LSS. Pro

grams can also be output directly to an EPROM chip, floppy disk drive, or print

ing device without any additional interface. The FIT has an EPROM writer and

two 3.5” floppy disk drives built in.

A Peripheral Interface Unit or Host Link Unit is required to interface the FIT to

the PC. Using an Optical Host Link Unit also enables the use of optical fiber cable

to connect the FIT to the PC. Wired Host Link Units are available when desired.

(Although FIT does not have optical connectors, conversion to optical fiber cable

is possible by using converting Link Adapters.)

Other than its applications described above, the PROM Writer can be mounted

to the PC’s CPU to write programs to EPROM chips.

Other than its applications described above, the Floppy Disk Interface Unit can

be mounted to the PC’s CPU to interface a floppy disk drive and write programs

onto floppy disks.

Other than its applications described above, the Printer Interface Unit can be

mounted to the PC’s CPU to interface a printer or X-Y plotter to print out pro

grams in either mnemonic or ladder-diagram form.
