FC4A Series Micro PLC

IDEC Corporation, a pioneer in the micro-PLC ﬁeld, is proud to offer the MicroSmart

series of programmable logic controllers, the latest in the Micro family of PLCs. These

ﬂexible, adaptable PLCs are as compact as they are powerful, so you can create the

system you need without increasing your space requirements or your budget.

The CPU That’s Right For You

MicroSmart CPUs are available in two types of modules, All-in-One and Slim. The

All-in-One type has models with 10, 16, or 24 I/O points; the Slim type is available in

four different 20 I/O modules and two 40 I/O modules. Each CPU module is only 90mm

in height and 70mm deep, but it has built-in inputs and outputs as well as standard

features like high-speed counters, a RS-232C port and an analog potentiometer.

Choose the CPU that’s right for you and see what else MicroSmart has to offer.

Expand Your Control

The Slim type and the 24 I/O All-in-One type CPUs can expand into the ideal system

using the optional expansion modules. Need more inputs? More outputs? Some of

both? There are 18 available expansion modules, including four analog I/O modules.

Depending on your CPU, you can create a system with as many as 264 I/O points (40

I/O Slim type CPU with seven expansion modules).

Customize Your System

Once you have all the control you need, select the features you want. Store and

transfer programs on the memory cartridge or install a real-time clock and calendar

cartridge. Add another communications port or an HMI module — it’s all possible with

MicroSmart. It’s even UL-1604 listed, Class 1–Div. 2 for hazardous locations. Create

the perfect solution for all of your applications, exactly the way you want it.

Multiple Standard Features

PID Control

Pulse Output/Trapezoidal Control

Independent dual-axis control is available with two pulse outputs.

Based on the determined PID parameters, PID control is

executed automatically. (Slim type CPU units only.)

High-speed Counters

The MicroSmart has four built-in high speed counters. One high

speed counter (all-in-one type) or two high speed counters (slim

type) can be used as either two-phase or single-phase high speed

counters at a maximum of 20kHz. The other three (all-in-one type)

or two (slim type) have a maximum frequency of 5kHz. High speed

counters are used for simple positioning and motor control.

Analog Potentiometer

Built-in Analog Voltage Input

Current value is reset to

a given value when

overflow or underflow

has occurred.

Current value is reset to

zero when the current

value reaches the pre-

set value.

The rotary encoder can connect directly to the paper feeder.

The high-speed counter receives and reads output pulses from

the rotary encoder.

The analog potentiometer built into the CPU module enables

settings to be adjusted without special tools.

All-in-One Type

Two built-in 24-I/O type

One built-in 10/16-I/O types

Standard on all models

Slim Type

After installation the analog potentiometer in the CPU module

allows you to easily change values such as timer preset values

or the volume of water.

Ready for connecting 0 to 10V DC from an external device

directly to the built-in analog voltage input connector

(Slim type CPU modules only).

WindLDR®is a software package to program the MicroSmart and all of IDEC’s

other programmable logic controllers. Upgraded WindLDR®version 4.0 or

higher supports new functions incorporated in the MicroSmart, such as partial

download (16 and 24 I/O type units only) and comment download functions.

Note: Please use WindLDR®4.0 or higher for programming MicroSmart.

System Requirements

OS: Windows 2000, Windows 98,

Windows 95, Windows NT4.0 (Service

Pack 3 or higher)

CPU: Pentium 75MHz or higher

Memory: 24MB of available RAM on

Windows 95 and Windows 98, 32MB of

available RAM on Windows NT

HD: 20MB of available hard-disk space

The WindLDR®modem communication

function cannot be used on Windows 95.

1. Improved Operation of the Ladder

3. Comment Download Function

The right power rail can be ﬁxed. When a

program line exceeds the right power rail, a

connection line is automatically inserted. Also,

the ladder program can be printed out with a

ﬁxed power rail for clear viewing.

When a user program is modiﬁed, WindLDR®4.0

or higher converts only the modiﬁed portion of the

program, saving conversion time when modiﬁcation

and downloading are repeated during debugging.

The MicroSmart can store comments attached to

the user program. Since a user program can be

downloaded to the MicroSmart with comments

attached to operands and rungs, the recorded

comments can be restored from the MicroSmart

without a ladder ﬁle. This function is also available

on the OpenNet Controller.

WindLDR®can supervise operation and collect

data from a remote PLC via modem and phone

line. Control possibilities can be expanded by

using the modem control function of the

MicroSmart or OpenNet Controller.

Acover page editor is provided to record the

program name and creation date. The cover page

stores information on each user program to help

archive many user programs.
