 Example 2
In this example, FC instruction (DFC_NIBMOV) is used for shifting the content of ar_wVar0 (pSrc) to the
variable ar_wVar1 (pDst).
Since wSrcStartPos=3, wNum=2 and wDstStartPos=0, two consecutive Nibbles (Length=2), which start
from Nibble3 of variable ar_wVar0 (pSrc), are shifted to the address Nibble0 inside the memory of ar_wVar1
(pDst).

• Function
 bEdgeSelect
This feature is supported on AX-3 series with firmware version V1.0.5.0 or later and with lilbrary
DL_BuiltInIO V1.1.0.2 or later.
 uiMaskValue
Refer to the following figure for the function description of uiMaskValue input.
1. Set uiMaskValue to 500 and bEnable to True, then Capture function is enabled. At the same time,
the output bValid is True and the first captured value would be the center value of the mask range. In
addition, the next capture action will be invalid if the next captured value is within the mask range.
2. In the figure below, the 1st capture happens in a -500~500 range and the captured value changes
from 0 to 1500.
3. The captured value 1500 becomes the new center of mask range. Therefore, the next captured
value which locates from 1000 to 2000 (1000 < diCapValue < 2000) will be invalid. So when the 2nd
capture is triggered (in the mask range), the captured value would remain as 1500.
4. Since the 3rd capture is triggered outside of the mask range, the captured value would be updated to
4000.
 diDeltaMin，diDeltaMax，bCapLenBeyondFlag，dwCapLenBeyondCount
DeltaMin/DeltaMax define the minimum and maximum distance between each Capture, while
CapLenBeyondFlag and CapLenBeyondCount represent the error flag and the number of the failed
Capture.
1. The function of diDeltaMin/diDeltaMax is to judge if a trigger mark is missed and the Capture is not
Run. For example, if the value of DeltaMin is 1000 and DeltaMax is 1300, when the detected
distance between 2 Capture exceeds 1000~1300, the system will flag this situation as trigger mark
missing.
2. When a mark missing condition occurs, CapLenBeyondFlag shifts to Ture for one scan cycle and
will be reset immediately. At the same time dwCapLenBeyondCount counts 1.
29
3. Refer to the below diagram for the explanation of these inputs and outputs:
 The mask range is between -500~500 and the 1st Capture occurs at 900.
 The 2nd Capture occurs at 2500. Because DeltaMax is set to 1300 and DeltaMin is set to
1000 (1000-1300), the detected distance between two captures has exceeded the range of
1000~1300. Therefore, a trigger mark missing condition is flagged for a scan cycle, while
bCapLenBeyondFlag remains as TRUE.
 The 3rd Capture occurs at 3700. Because the difference between 3700 and the previous
captured value 2500 is 1200, which is within the range of 1000~1300 (DeltaMin/DeltaMax),
also 3700 is out of the mask range 2000~3000, the captured value changes to 3700 in this
case, and bCapLenBeyondFlag will not change to True.
 bEdgeSelect
EdgeSelect defines whether the DI signal is the rising edge triggered or the falling-edge triggered to
capture the signal. This function is only applicable to AX-332E models.
1. When EdgeSelect=False, the capture is triggered when DI generates the rising edge signal, and
when EdgeSelect=True, the capture is triggered when DI generates the fallingr edge signal.
When EdgeSelect=False:
When EdgeSelect+True
30
 bCycle
The Cycle setting determines whether the Capture function block will capture values continuously. This
function is only applicable to the AX-332El.
1. When Cycle=False, the Capture function block can only capture the value once triggered by DI.
When Cycle=True, the Capture function block can capture multiple values for multiple times.
When Cycle=False
When Cycle=True
3. Only support AX-332E v1.0.4.2 or later.
• Troubleshooting
If an error occurs during the running of the instruction, bError will change to True and the Capture will stop. You
can refer to ErrorID (Error Code) to address the problem.
31
 This example uses DFB_HCnt and DFB_Capture in AX-308E to perform the Capture function.
1. As the following figure shows, select a Counter and a Capture for Hardware IO Configuration in
BuiltIn_IO and set the trigger source of Capture to a signal input on the hardware (e.g. IN15).
2. Enable the FB DFB_Capture (bEnable＝True) after using the FB DFB_HCnt to activate the high-speed
counter (bEnable＝True) in the POU, then the present counter value would be captured and shown on
the diCapValue output of DFB_Capture after the external signal (IN15) being triggered.

• Function
1. Cannot run this function block in Ethercat Task in AX-332, or it will affect update cycle of other device in
Ethercat.
2. When the comparison result is True (Counter Value = diCmpValue), DFB_Compare will outputs the results
according to the settings of HW IO configuration in BuiltIn IO.
3. When bValid output of DFB_Compare is True, the comparator would continue to compare on the high-speed
counter values. In case that the comparison condition is fulfilled and the output result is given according to the
settings, the device would remain at a high-level signal and would not retrigger the output (True  False 
True) after the condition is fulfilled once again. If you need to reset the output device and change the high-level
signal to low, find the following methods.
 Define the variable at the output of Compare via I/O mapping in DIO, then set the output variable to
falling-edge in the POU programming area so as to reset the output device.
 Use the setting of wRefreshCycle to change the high-level signal to low automatically after the PLC
keeps it at a high-level signal for a period of time.
Either ways, the purpose of changing from high-level signals to low can be reached. However, the comparison
conditions must be fulfilled again if you intend to make the output back to high-level.
4. The output device status can be refreshed by using the input wRefreshCycle. For example, set the value of
wRefreshCycle to 10000(Unit: 0.1ms), then the designated output device will be pulled to a low level by the
controller after the condition is fulfilled and remains a high-level output for one second. If wRefreshCycle is set
to zero, the output device would keep at a high level without being reset.
37
5. diTablePosition is the numerical array to be compared, and diTableSize is the number of values to be
compared. For example, the size of the diTablePosition array is 256, if diTableSize=100 is set, the 0-99
elements of the array will be set as the values to be compared. The timing diagram is as follows:
If comparing multiple value at the same time, the following two situations will affect the ouput of Do.
Case1: In the process of Do output, other value of diTablezpodtion is compared, the value will not generate Do
output. The output will be the Do output of the current value. Refer the following diagram for the timing and
parameter:
38
Case2: When comparing multiple values of diTablePosion at the same time, the defined Do output time is the
time of of one cycle of wRefreshCycle. Refer the following diagram for the timing and parameter:
OutputAction is an output variable that define the action of the output device once the comparison condition is met.
When it is set to SET, the ouput device will be set to high level. When it is set to RESET, the output device will be
set to low level.
Only support AX-332E version 1.0.4.2 or later.

• Function

2. This function is supported only when AX-3 series firmware version is V1.0.1 and later.
3. This instruction is only for use with the AS02LC weighting module, and the supported version is AS02LC
V1.04 and later.
4. This is weighting module (AS02LC-A) dedicated instruction, and its function is to activate/deactivate the
weight calibration function of the module.
5. byRemoteID specifies that the weighting module should connect to the right of CPU or the right of the
remote module group numbers. The CPU number is 0, the first remote module number is 1, and so on.
The maximum group number is 15.
6. byLocalID specifies module numbers. The number of the first module on the right of CPU is 0, the number
of the second module on the right of CPU is 1, and so on. Regardless of any type of modules, all modules
must be counted. The maximum number of modules is 32.
7. usiChannelNo specifies the channel numbers. The number of channel one is 1, and the number of
channel two is 2.
8. bTrigger is the instruction that triggers single-point calibration. When the bTrigger status changes from
OFF to ON, LC module will be notified to perform a single calibration, and bTriggerDone flag will be set to
ON after completion. If the calibrations of all calibrated points are done, the bDone flag will also be ON.
Before proceeding the next calibration point, users need to check the bTriggerDone flag is ON, and
changes bTrigger to OFF. At this time, the instruction will also monitor the bTrigger flag when it turns from
ON to OFF, and the bTriggerDone flag will be automatically cleared.
9. iTPoint is the total number of points for this calibration. After the instruction is activated by users, this
value cannot be changed because this iTPoint has been sent to the LC module for calibration at the first
activation.
10. aTWeight is the calibration weight value for each calibrated point, and the maximum number of calibration
points for the LC module is 20. After the instruction is activated, users cannot change this value because
this aTWeight has sent data to the LC module for calibration at the first activation. The first point calibration
weight value must be 0, if it is not 0, the bError flag will be set to ON. For example, the total points of
iTPoint calibration is 3, aTWeight gives [0.0, 100.0, 200.0, 17(0.0)] a total of 20 REAL-type ARRAY, of
which 17(0.0) means there are 17 0.0.
11 4
This example uses the FB instruction (DFB_DLCCAL) to calibrate the first channel in the first module on the
right of CPU.
1. Set CalibrationPoint1 to ON.

2. Make sure that the weight platform is unloaded first, set DLCCAL_CH1_bEnable to ON, and then set
DLCCAL_CH1_bTrigger to ON. When the iCPoint value becomes 1, and bTriggerDone becomes TRUE,
it means that this first point calibration is done.
3. Place 100.0g weights on the weight platform and after ensuring the platform is steady, set
DLCCAL_CH1_bTrigger to ON. Now, iCPoint becomes 2, and bTriggerDone & bDone are TRUE, which
means that all calibrations are done. After making the third network established, deactivate DFB_DLCCAL
function block to complete this calibration.

3. This instruction is only for use with the AS02LC weighting module, and the supported version is AS02LC
V1.04 and later.
4. This is weighting module (AS02LC-A) dedicated instruction, and its function is to activate/deactivate the
weight measurement function of the module.
5. byRemoteID specifies that the weighting module should connect to the right of CPU or the right of the
remote module group numbers. The CPU number is 0, the first remote module number is 1, and so
on. The maximum group number is 15.
6. byLocalID specifies module numbers. The number of the first module on the right of CPU is 0, the
number of the second module on the right of CPU is 1, and so on. Regardless of any type of modules,
all modules must be counted. The maximum number of modules is 32.
channel two is 2.
8. rStable is the weight stability range value. Its data type is REAL, and the inputable floating-point number
value range is 0.0~100000.0. If the setting is out of range, the instruction will automatically set the value
to the minimum/maximum values. The timing of LC module parameter setting is when the instruction is
started for the first time. To modify the value in the LC module later, users need to deactivate the
instruction, set a new range value, and then open the instruction to reset.
9. After this instruction is activated, the specified channels will be automatically changed to “Net Weight”
display mode. If users need to know the “Gross weight (total weight)” value, add rTareW and rWeight.
10. bZeroS is the flag that sets the current weight to 0. When this flag is from OFF to ON, rTareW and
rWeight will be cleared to 0.
11. bTareS is the flag that sets the tare weight. When the bTareS flag is from OFF to ON, the current
rWeight weight will be transferred to rTareW, and the rWeight value will be cleared to 0. When the
bTareS flag is from ON to OFF, rTareW will be back to the rWeight current weight value, and the rTareW
value will be cleared to 0.
11 8
12. rWeight is the weight value after deducting the tare weight. Users can monitor if rTareW has a value to
determine whether the tare function is activated. When the value is 0, it represents that the tare weight
has not been set.
After completing DLCCAL calibration, the DLCWEI instruction can used to perform weight measurement.
1. Weight measurement: Place 500g weights on the weight platform. When bEnable is On, rWeight
displays the current weight 500.0.
2. Tare weight setting:
 Place package material on the weight platform (e.g. 100 g). Now, rWeight shows that the current
weight is 100.0.
 When bTareS is ON, the rWeight weight will be transferred to rTareW, and then the rWeight weight
will be cleared.
 When rWeight = 0.0 (maybe a little unstable) and rTareW = 100.0, the tare weight setting is
complete.
3. Clear tare weight setting:
 When bTareS is OFF, the rTareW weight will be back to rWeight, and then the rTareW weight will
be cleared.
 When rWeight = 100.0 and rTareW = 0.0, tare weight setting is cleared.

all modules must be counted. The maximum number of modules is 32. This PU dedicated instruction is
only for the PU module on the right of CPU and is not for the PU module on the right of the remote
module. If the specified module is not the PU module, the bError flag will be set to ON.
4. iAxis is the axis number of the specified output PU module. The input values 1~4 respectively represent
the specified PU module axis 1–axis 4 output. If the PU module does not have this axis number, the
12 1
bError flag will be set to ON. The combination of the axis number and the corresponding output points is
as follows:
PU Module Name Axis1 Combination Axis2 Combination Axis3 Combination Axis4 Combination
AS02PU Y0.0 / Y0.1 Y0.2 / Y0.3 NA NA
AS04PU Y0.0 / Y0.1 Y0.2 / Y0.3 Y0.4 / Y0.5 Y0.6 / Y0.7
5. iMode selects parameters for the output mode of setting the output axis, and the setting values are as
shown in the following table:
Output Mode
Mode Note
Value
Single-point pulse output (even-point
N For example: Y0.0 or Y0.2 output

For example: Y0.0 is pulse, Y0.1 is direction. When
Pulse (even points) + Direction (odd
1 the direction is positive, Y0.1 is OFF; when the
points)
direction is negative, Y0.1 is ON.
For example: Y0.0 is CW (Positive direction), and
2 CW (even points) + CCW (odd points)
Y0.1 is CCW (negative direction).
For example: Y0.0 is A, and Y0.1 is B. When A is
A-phase (even points) + B-phase (odd ahead of B, it represents positive direction output;
3
points) when B is ahead of A, it represents negative direction
output.

6. iStartSpeed~iOffset are non-power outage persistence value. If the setting value is out of range, bError
will be reported.
7. bDone is the output axis of the specified PU module, and is the parameter setting completion flag.
When the flag is ON, it represents that parameter setting is successful. Users can perform the
subsequent positioning output function according to the flag status. The bDone flag clearance needs to
be Run by users, and this instruction will set this flag once when the setting is done.
8. bError is the output axis of the specified PU module, and is the parameter error flag. Because most of
parameter ranges are automatically filtered by PLC, if this error flag occurs, it means that there is no
specified PU module, the PU module number is incorrect, or the output axis number is incorrect.
9. This parameter setting instruction is pulse running instruction. Even if the A contact method is used for
the user conditional contact, this instruction will set the parameters of the PU module at the time when
it’s started. Therefore, when the axis parameters are changed, restart the instruction and reset the
parameters.

10. Because the parameter setting is ordered through the module communication, Check the bDone or
bError flags of the setting results each time the parameters are modified, and then perform the related
output action.
The following example shows hoe to Run the DFB_DPUCONF function block to set the parameter setting of
the PU output module.
1. Delta_LocalBus_Master configures an AS02PU_A.

6. bMoving is the output running flag (Read-only) of the output axis of the PU module. When this flag is
ON, it means that the output is in progress; when the flag is OFF, it means that the output axis is not
being used and can accept the next output instruction.
7. bPause is the output pause flag (Read-only) of the output axis of the PU module. When this flag is ON,
it means that the output is paused, the current speed is 0, and the current position has not yet reached

4. iAxis is the axis number of the specified output PU module. The input values 1~4 respectively
represent the specified PU module axis 1–axis 4 output. If the PU module does not have this axis
number, the bError flag will be set to ON.
5. diTarPulse is the pulse number of the specified output. The pulse number that can be input is the
signed numbers 32-bit positive value. When the vale is 0, it means keeping outputting and the output
numbers are not limited until the instruction is deactivated and the output stops; when the value is less
than 0, PLC will automatically use the 2’s complement method to convert to the number output of a
positive integer number.
6. diTarSpeed is the target speed (Unit: Hz) of the specified output and the number that can be input is
the signed numbers 32-bit value. Users can modify the target frequency any time after the instruction
starts output, and the PU module will switch to the latest target frequency after outputting a complete
pulse. Note: Before changing the target frequency, consider if the change speed and the PLC scan
time are appropriate. The corresponding diTarSpeed setting range of the module is as follows:
12 8
PU Module Name diTarSpeed Setting Range

AS02PU -200,000(-200K)–200,000(200K)
AS04PU -100,000(-100K)–100,000(100K)
7. When the target speed of diTarSpeed is positive (>0), it means that the output point of “positive
direction” is OFF; when the target speed of diTarSpeed is negative (<0), it means that the output point
of “negative direction” is ON; when the target speed of diTarSpeed is 0, it means that after outputting a
complete running pulse, it enters the pause output status.
8. This output instruction does not provide the acceleration/deceleration function. For
acceleration/deceleration function requirement, use the DPUDRI instruction.
9. This output instruction can be used for changing speed. When the instruction is running output, users
can change the target frequency value of diTarSpeed to achieve the purpose of changing the output
speed.
10. When the output has reached the specified diTarPulse pulse number, the bDone completion flag will be
set to ON. The bDone flag clearance needs to be Run by users, and this instruction will set this flag
once when the setting is done
11. If any error situation occurs during output startup, the bError error flag will be set to ON. Users can
refer to ErrorCode for troubleshooting.

5. diRTarPosi is the position of the specified output relative positioning, and the pulse number that can be
input is the signed numbers 32-bit value. When the value is greater than 0, the output is toward the
positive direction (direction output point OFF); when the value is less than 0, the output is toward the
negative direction (direction output point ON); when the value equals 0, this instruction will instantly set
the bDone output completion flag to ON.
6. diTarSpeed is the target speed (Unit: Hz) of the specified output and the frequency value that can be
input is the signed numbers 32-bit value. When the value is less than 0, the instruction will use the 2’s
complement method to convert to a positive integer number; when the values equals to 0, the instruction
will inform the module to enter the pause mode. The actual output will decelerate according to
deceleration slope until the output speed reaches 0, and users set the pause flag (refer to the PUSTAT
instruction). The corresponding diTarSpeed setting range of the module is as follows:
13 1
PU Module Name diTarSpeed Setting Range

AS02PU -200,000(-200K)–200,000(200K)
AS04PU -100,000(-100K)–100,000(100K)
7. After starting the output, the target frequency can be changed anytime; however, when the frequency is
actually changed, PLC will automatically change the frequency according to the
acceleration/deceleration rate slope set by the DPUCONF instruction.
8. When the output has reached the specified diRTarPosi relative positioning position, the bDone
completion flag will be set to ON. The bDone flag clearance needs to be Run by users, and this
instruction will set this flag once when the setting is done.
9. During the output startup process, if any error situation occurs, the bError flag will be set to ON. Users
can refer to ErrorCode to perform troubleshooting.
10. Acceleration/Deceleration curve of the PU module positioning output instruction is as follows:
 The value of the maximum output frequency. Refer to the DPUCONF instruction setting for this
parameter.
 The target frequency specified by the PU module output instruction. The target frequency cannot output
the frequency that exceeds the maximum output frequency. The output will be limited to the maximum
output frequency.
 Start/End output frequency setting value. Refer to the DPUCONF instruction setting for this parameter.
 Acceleration time value. Refer to the DPUCONF instruction setting for this parameter.
 Deceleration time value. Refer to the DPUCONF instruction setting for this parameter.
The acceleration/deceleration of the PU module is a fixed slope, so the actual acceleration/deceleration time
will change according to the target frequency of the specified output. The acceleration/deceleration slope
conversion formulas are (1) (maximum output frequency - startup frequency) / acceleration time, and (2)
(maximum output frequency - end frequency) / deceleration time.

3. diATarPosi is the position of the absolute positioning of the specified output. The number of pulses that
can be entered is a 32-bit number. The PU module will automatically compare the current position in the
record. After comparison, if the value is greater than 0, it means that the output is toward the positive
direction; if the value is less than 0, it means that the output is toward the negative direction; if the value
is 0, this instruction will instantly set the bDone output completion to ON.

Note: For the above iMode 1~4, the PU module firmware version V1.02.00, when the action is complete, the
current output position of the axis will not be cleared to 0, and it can be cleared with the PUSTAT instruction.
For the PU module firmware version V1.02.10 and later, when the action is complete, the current output
position will be cleared to 0.
Note: For the above iMode 5~8, the PU module firmware version V1.02.00, when the action is complete, the
current output position is now the output result, and the current position must be modified to the specified

the positive direction; the corresponding diTarSpeed setting range of the module is as follows: (If the mode
parameter is specified as 255, the diTarSpeed will become the value of updating the PU module current
position.)

6. iPeriod is the cycle time setting value of speed fetching, and the settable range is 10ms–1000ms. If the
value is out of range, it will be set to the minimum/maximum value.
7. diInputPulse displays the entered pulse counting numbers (signed number 32-bit values), which are
outage persistence value. If there is a need to clear it to 0, during the instruction startup, use the bZeroS
setting flag (OFF  ON) to perform the clearance.
8. diInputSpeed displays values that each iPeriod time counts (signed number 32-bit values). If users need
to convert the values in Hz, use calculation formulas.
9. When the instruction is activated/ deactivated, it means that CPU needs to inform the high-speed

7. When PID_RUN is TRUE  FALSE, the rMV output value will be cleared to 0. If users want the rMV
output value to be kept as the last rMV output value when PID is not working, make bEnable TRUE 
FALSE to deactivate the instruction.
8. When bUPDATE’s Enable = True, if you want to modify the parameters related to bPID_RUN–uiCYCLE,
you need to set the bUpdate parameter to ON, and it will be automatically changed to False after a cycle.
9. If the auto adjust parameter function is used (byPID_MODE =1), it will automatically enter the
autocontrol mode when the adjustment is complete (byPID_MODE changes to 0 automatically), and the
debugged rKc_Kp, rTi_Ki, rTd_Kd, rTf, iALPHA, and iBETA parameters will be filled back to the
corresponding parameter variables of the DMPID input. Users can also use the outage persistence

variables to meet the requirement of saving PID control parameters.
1. When bEnable=TRUE, the instruction is running. When M2=TRUE, the DMPID instruction starts to operate.
When M2=FALSE, MV value is 0 and is sent to D30. When bEnable become OFF, the instruction is not Run,
and the parameter values in the original instruction does not change.
2. The MV output value range is 0.0~100.0. Users need to convert the required control quantity per requirement.
This application example converts to PWM output. Convert the MV output value to the pulse output width
TimeSet2 with a range of 0%~100%, and then multiply the PWM cycle to convert to the time TimeSet1.
3. Input the pulse output width and pulse output cycle to the TON function block, PWM control can be realized in
the specified pulse output device.
Duty cycle = pulse output width/pulse output cycle

• Deviation Ineffective Range

When the PV value enters the ERR_DBW range, at first the CPU still performs the PID calculation according to
the E value until PV crosses the SV value (Zero Cross Point), which means that Cross Status is established,
and E = 0 will be substituted into the PID calculation. Then, when the PV value exceeds the ERR_DBW range,
the E value will be resumed for the PID calculation. If PID_DE=True, it means that using the PV value to perform
the differential calculation. After the Cross Status conditions are established, the CPU will take Delta PV as 0
to perform the PID differential calculation. (Delta PV= Current PV- previous PV).
For example, in the following PV trend diagram, CPU in A area will perform the normal PID calculation; however,
CPU in B area will take E or Delta PV as 0 to perform the PID calculation.

• α, β VALUE:
ALPHA and BETA are used to compensate initial integral when PID starts and the SV target values changes,
the aim of which is to reduce the overshoot phenomenon. As shown in the following figures, ALPHA
parameter is used to slow down the rising overshoot; BETA parameter is used to slow down the falling
overshoot.
• Notes and recommendations:

1. When you adjust three main parameters, Kc_Kp, Ti_Ki, and Td_Kd (PID_MODE=0), adjust the Kc_Kp value at first (based
on past experience), and then set Ti_Ki and Td_Kd values to 0. When the adjustment is generally controllable, then adjust
the Ti_Ki value (small  large) and the Td_Kd value (large  small) in sequence. When Kc_Kp = 1, it represents 100%,
that is, the gain of the deviation value is 1. A value less than 100% will attenuate the deviation value; a value more than
100% will increase the deviation value.
2. The automatically adjusted parameters are not guaranteed to be suitable for each control environment; therefore, users
can certainly modify the adjusted parameters. It is recommended to modify only the Ti_Ki or Td_Kd value.
3. The CYCLE parameter is how much time for the PID function to calculate once and update the output value (MV).
4. Note that when the number of channels which is open for measurement changes, the update time of the measurement
value will change (for example, when opening only one channel for measurement, the measurement value will be updated
every 200ms. When opening the other three channels for measurement, the measurement value will be updated every
800ms). The Kc_Kp, Ti_Ki, Td_Kd, etc. parameters may not be applicable.

7. diCurCnt is to display the current counter value of the specified module count channel.
8. byCurSSI_SingleTurn is absolute SSI encoder Single-Turn Data display (When the counter form is set
as Ring Position, byCurSSI_SingleTurn shows the value after deviation; when setting the counter as
Ring counter, byCurSSI_SingleTurn will show the original SSI encoder value), when the channel mode
is set as incremental encoder, the byCurSSI_SingleTurn will be 0.
9. byCurSSI_MultiTurn is absolute SSI encoder Multi-Turn Data display (When the counter form is set as

as incremental encoder, the byCurSSI_MultiTurn will be 0.
10. WSSIstatus is absolute SSI encoder Status Data display. When the channel mode is set as incremental
encoder, wSSIstatus will be 0.
11. wRefCnt is absolute SSI encoder data refresh counter, and its length is 16 bits. When new SSI data is
captured, refresh counter will be incremented by one, and when this counter overflows, it will re-
accumulate from 0. When the channel mode is set as incremental encoder, wRefCnt will be 0.
12. bDir is the count direction display. When it shows On, it represents going in positive direction; when it
shows Off, it represents going in negative direction.
13. If the instruction is closed, the specify channel will stop updating the values of the right half of the
instruction.
This example uses the FB instruction (DFB_DHCCNT) to read the first channel in the right module (AS02HC)

time, byTrgSel will be set once for the HC module. During running, if byTrgSel needs to be re-changed,
disable the instruction and start again.
8. diCapValue1 and diCapValue2 are capture counter value 1 and capture counter value 2 respectively.
When byTrgSel=0, diCapValue1 is the counter value stored in external input point rising edge, and
diCapValue2 is the counter value stored in external input point falling edge. When byTrgSel=1,
diCapValue1 is the counter value that stored in another channel compare input instruction bMatch1 from
OffOn, and diCapValue2 is the counter value that stored in another channel compare input instruction
bMatch2 from OffOn.
9. bCapValue1_Complete and bCapValue2_Complete are the flags of capture completion counter value1
and capture completion counter value2. When bCapValue1_Complete/bCapValue2_Complete is
Off->On, it means that diCapValue1/ diCapValue2 are already the latest capture values, and users
need to clear the bCapValue1_Complete/ bCapValue2_Complete flags after reading capture values.
When next bCapValue1_Complete and bCapValue2_Complete are Off->On, there are new capture
values. If users do not clear the bCapValue1_Complete and bCapValue2_Complete flags, the module
latest capture values will keep updating until diCapValue1 and diCapValue2.
10. If bEnable is from On to Off, it means that disabling the instruction Capture function. At this time,
diCapValue2 and diCapValue2 content values will remain the same and will not be updated. However,
16 7
bCapValue1_Complete and bCapValue2_Complete flags will be cleared.
This example uses the FB instruction (DFB_DHCCNT) to start the first channel counting function in the right
module (AS02HC) of the host, and use the FB instruction (DFB_DHCCAP) to capture the counter value.

 Programming example: Another channel DHCCMP compares arrival and captures the counter value.
1. Set the byTrgSel parameter of the DHCCAP instruction in channel 1. When M0=ON, the
DHCCAP instruction will starts to wait for compare arrival of the other channel (channel 2).
2. When channel 2 counter value arrives compare value diCompareValue1, and at this time
channel 1 counter value 2000 will immediately output to diCapValue1, and the
bCapValue1_Complete flag will be set to ON.
3. When channel 2 counter value arrives compare value diCompareValue2, and at this time
counter value 8000 will be immediately output to diCapValue2, and the bCapValue2_Complete
flag will be set to ON.
4. Same as Example1, even if the bCapValue1_Complete/bCapValue2_Complete flags are not
cleared to OFF, the new captured values will still output to diCapValue1/ diCapValue2 when
channel 2 has a compare arrival event again.

3. The output point Y0.0~Y0.3 in this instruction is the output point on the 02HC module.
4. The HCDO instruction is AS02HC-A dedicated instruction, and it can control the output point Y0.0~Y0.3
and show the status of the output point Y0.0~Y0.3.
5. Complete the iOutputSetting setting before running the instruction. When bEnable is started,
iOutputSetting will be set once for the HC module, so the iOutputSetting set before starting will be
taken as the initial state of the output point Y0.0~Y0.3. If users want to change the output point status
during running, set iOutputSetting as a new value, and then set the bUpdate flag as On. After the
instruction completes parameter change, the bUpdate flag will be cleared.
7. iOutputSetting is the setting value of the output point action:
b15~b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
NA Y0.3 action Y0.2 action Y0.1 action Y0.0 action
0：OFF
NA
1：ON

9 When compare output instruction DHCCMP or table compare output instruction DHCCMPT starts, output
point cannot be changed through iOutputSetting. However, the display of the iOutputState status can
be continuously updated.
10 As stated before, if compare output instruction needs to set the initial value to output point, start the HCDO
instruction first, and then start the DHCCMP or DHCCMPT instruction. If changing output point is needed,
shut the DHCCMP or DHCCMPT instruction, and then IOutputSetting of the HCDO instruction will update
the latest output action.
11 During start-up, when any error condition occurs, this bError error flag will be set to ON. Refer to error

4. The DHCCMP instruction is AS02HC-A dedicated instruction. When the counting up/counting down
value reaches the preset compare value, perform actions to output point and counter according to users’
settings.
5. DHCCMP needs to be used with the DHCCNT instruction. Only when DHCCNT is started, counter value
counts according to input signals and performs comparison action.
6. Complete diCompareValue1, diCompareValue2, iActionValue1, iActionValue2, iY_OutputNo1,
iY_OutputNo2, iInterruptNo1, iInterruptNo2 parameters setting before running the instruction. When
the instruction is enabled, the parameters of the AS02HC-A module will be set once.
7. diCompareValue1, diCompareValue2, iActionValue1, iActionValue2, iY_OutputNo1,
iY_OutputNo2, iInterruptNo1, iInterruptNo2 parameters can be changed during running. The change
method is to set new values first, and then set the bUpdate flag to On. When this instruction completes
changing compare value, the instruction will clear the bUpdate flag to Off, and clear the bMatch1 and
bMatch2 to Off.
channel two is 2.
10. diCompareValue1 and diCompareValue2 are compare value number 1 and compare value number 2
respectively (diCompareValue1 and diCompareValue2 need to be different values). When the
usiChannelNo channel counter value reaches the compare value of the number, the corresponding
bMatch1 and bMatch2 flags will be set to On, and the specified iY_OutputNo1 and iY_OutputNo2
output points will perform actions according to iActionValue1 and iActionValue2.
When selecting the counter form as Linear Counter, diCompareValue1 and diCompareValue2 need to
meet “Minimum counter value < diCompareValue < Maximum counter value”. When using SSI encoder
and set the counter value as Absolute Position, diCompareValue1 and diCompareValue2 need to meet
“0 ≤ diCompareValue < ”.
11. Note that compare arrival timing will be different according to the input interfaces “pulse input” or “SSI
input” as shown in the following figure.

counter value 5→6 instantaneous; when counting down, compare arrival timing occurs in the counter
value 5→4 instantaneous.

12. iActionValue1 and iActionValue2 are the specified running actions when compare arrival. The

Note: There will be a little delay between compare arrival occurrence and iActionValue running. The maximum
delay time is 100us.

14. iInterruptNo1 and iInterruptNo2 are specified interrupt numbers. The functions are as below:
iInterruptNo Action
0 Not to set interrupt
 = 00~31, Interrupt_400_ModuleIN0 to Interrupt_431_ModuleIN31 of the
4 corresponding External Event
The corresponding Task will be started when compare arrives.
15. bMatch1 and bMatch2 are the status flag display for the comparison values of compare arrival number1
and number2. When the counter value of the specified channel and number1 compare value & number
compare value arrive, the corresponding bMatch1 or bMatch2 flag will be set to On; When the host
STOP, clear counter, DHCCMP is OFFON, or the bUpdate flag is set, the instruction will clear the
bMatch1 and bMatch2 flags to Off.
16. When the instruction is off, the relevant compare values and the output functions will not be updated.
17. If any error situation occurs during startup, the bError error flag will be set to ON. Users can refer to
ErrorCode for troubleshooting.
• Programming Example 1: Control Y point output when compare arrives.

1. Set CH1 Input Interface in AS02HC-A Parameters as “Pulse Input”, set Pulse Type as “A/B phase(2x)”,
and set Counter Type as “Ring counter”, as the following:
2. Set diCompareValue1 to 2000, set iActionValue1 to 3, set iY_OutputNo1 to 0, and set iInterruptNo1
to 0; set diCompareValue2 to 4000, set iActionValue2 to 3, set iY_OutputNo2 to 1, and set
iInterruptNo2 to 0.
3. When setting M0 = ON, DHCCNT counter starts to count. At the same time, set the DHCCMP parameter
for the module, and start to wait for counter compare arrival.
4. When counter values reach diCompareValue1, the bMatch1 flag is set to ON, and Y0.0 is OFFON.
5. Continuous counting until diCompareValue2 is reached, and the bMatch2 flag is set to ON, and Y0.1 is
OFFON.
17 8
6. Continuous counting until diCompareValue1 is reached again, Y0.0 is ONOFF; Continuous counting
until diCompareValue2 is reached again, Y0.1 is ONOFF.

17 9
1. Set diCompareValue1 to 2500, set iActionValue1 to 2, set iY_OutputNo1 to 0 and set iInterruptNo1
iInterruptNo2 to 0.
3. When counter values reach diCompareValue1, the bMatch1 flag is set to ON, and Y0.0 is set to ON.
4. Continuous counting until diCompareValue2 is reached. Since the action of iActionValue2 = 8 is “clear
the channel counter value + clear iY_OutputNo1 and iY_OutputNo2 specified output point”, counter
value is cleared to 0, bMatch1 and bMatch2 are cleared to False, and Y0.0 & Y0.1 are cleared to OFF.
5. Continuous counting until diCompareValue1 is reached again, the bMatch1 flag will be set to on again,
Y0.0 will be set to ON, and so on.

Programming Example3: Update the compare value
18 0
1. Set diCompareValue1 to 1000, set iActionValue1 to 3, set iY_OutputNo1 to 0,and set iInterruptNo1
iInterruptNo2 to 0.
3. When counter value reaches diCompareValue1, the bMatch1 flag will be set to ON, and Y0.0 will be
OFFON.
4. When counter value reaches diCompareValue2, the bMatch2 flag will be set to ON, and Y0.1 will be
ONOFF.
5. Then, set new compare value: set diCompareValue1 to 5000, set iActionValue1 to 3, set OutputNo1
to 0, set iInterruptNo1 to 0, set diCompareValue2 to 7000, set iActionValue2 to 6, set iY_OutputNo2
to 1, and set iInterruptNo2 to 0.
6. Set the bUpdate flag to ON. When the setting completes, the bUpdate flag will be automatically cleared
to OFF. At the same time, the bMatch1 and bMatch2 flags will be cleared to OFF.
7. When counter value reaches new compare value diCompareValue1, the bMatch1 flag will be set to
ON, and Y0.0 will be ONOFF.
8. When counter value reaches new compare value diCompareValue2, Y0.1 will be OFFON. Because
iActionValue2 = 6 include Reset, counting value will be cleared to 0. At the same time, the bMatch1
and bMatch2 flags will be cleared to OFF.

1. DHCCMP can also configure compare arrival interruption. Set iInterruptNo1 and iInterruptNo2 to 400
and 401 respectively, and configure two Tasks at the same time. In the tasks, select
Interrupt_400_ModuleIN0 or Interrupt_401_ModuleIN1 for External event as shown in the following
figures.
2. Set diCompareValue1 to 2500, set iActionValue1 to 3, set iY_OutputNo1 to 0 set iInterruptNo1 to

400; set diCompareValue2 to 5000, set iActionValue2 to 3, set iY_OutputNo2 to 1, and set
iInterruptNo2 to 401.
4. When counter value reaches diCompareValue1, External event corresponding to iInterruptNo1 will be
Run, and Y0.0 will be toggled (alternating ON/OFF).
5. When counter value reaches diCompareValue2, External event corresponding to iInterruptNo2 will be
Run, and Y0.1 will be toggled (alternating ON/OFF).

4. The DHCCMPT instruction is AS02HC-A dedicated instruction. Its compare action is “cyclical” compare
according to the set groups. When the number of comparison step by step reaches the last compare
value, the next compare value will be reset as the first compare value. The DHCCMPT instruction is
limited to be used when the counter counts in only one direction (Changing the direction will cause
incorrect action), and can be set up to 10 compare values. Compare values need to be sorted by
incremental or decremental numbers. For incremental sorting, counter needs to counting up, and only
positive numbers for compare value. For decremental sorting, counter needs to counting down, and only
negative numbers for compare value. When the counting reaches the preset compare value, actions will
be performed to output pint and counter according to users setting, and the request to the host
interrupts.
5. DHCCMPT needs to be used with the DHCCNT instruction. Only when DHCCNT starts, counter value
counts according to the input signal, and perform compare action.
6. Complete iCompareLength, aCompareValue, aAction, aY_OutputNo, and aInterruptNo parameter
setting before running the instruction. bEnable will write the parameter once when it is first started.
7. The parameters of iCompareLength, aCompareValue, aAction, aY_OutputNo, and aInterruptNo can
be changed during running. The changing methods is to set them as new values, and then set the
bUpdate flag to On. When the changing is complete, the instruction will clear the bUpdate flag to Off.
channel two is 2.
10. iCompareLength is the number of groups of compare tables. Its compare action is cyclical according to
the set group numbers. The group number length can be set to 2–10. When the set value is out of this
range, the instruction will not be run, and the error code shows.
11. aCompareValue is the storage source of the compare vale, and its type is ARRAY[0..9] OF DINT.
Compare values needs to be sorted by incremental or decremental numbers (each compare value
needs to be different). For incremental sorting, counter needs to counting up, and only positive numbers
for compare value. For decremental sorting, counter needs to counting down, and only negative
numbers for compare value.
When selecting the counter form as Linear Counter, each vale in aCompareValue needs to meet
“Minimum counter value < aCompareValue < Maximum counter value”.
When using SSI encoder and the counter form is set as Absolute Position, each value in
aCompareValue needs to meet “0 ≤ aCompareValue ≤ ”.
12. Note that compare arrival timing will be different according to the input interface “Pulse input” or “SSI
input” as shown in the following figure.

Take aCompareValue = 5 as an example, SSI input compare arrival timing occurs in the counter value
4→5 and 6→5 instantaneous. For pulse input, when counting up, compare arrival timing occurs in the
counter value 5→6 instantaneous; when counting down, compare arrival timing occurs in the counter
value 5→4 instantaneous.

13. aAction is the specified action code when compare arrives. The functions are as below:
aAction Function Note

0 No action
1 aY_OutputNo specifies the output point Off.
2 aY_OutputNo specifies the output point On.
aY_OutputNo specifies the output point Toggle

8 all specified aY_OutputNo output point.
specify the output point Off.
Note: There will be a little delay between compare arrival occurrence and Action running. The maximum delay time
is 100us.
14. aY_OutputNo is specified output point number. The function is as the following:
18 7
aY_OutputNo Output Point

0 Y0.0
1 Y0.1
2 Y0.2
3 Y0.3
15. aInterruptNo is specified interruption number. The function is as the following:
aInterruptNo Action
0 Not to set interruption
 = 00~31, Interrupt_400_ModuleIN0 to Interrupt_431_ModuleIN31 of the
4 corresponding External Event
The corresponding Task will be started when compare arrives.
16. iCurrentNo displays the number of the group that currently has compare arrived. For example, when the
counter value is 200, which is lower than the group number 1 in the following compare table, the
iCurrentNo value is 0; when the counter value reaches 1000, which equals to the group number 1 in the
following compare table, the iCurrentNo value is 1.
17. Refer to the following table for the operator description of aCompareValue, aAction, aY_OutputNo,
aInterruptNo, and iCurrentNo. In the table, the iCompareLength value is assumed as 6.
aAction
aCompareValue
ICurrentNo Specified Action after aY_OutputNo aInterruptNo

5 5500 1(Off) 3(Y0.3) 404
6 6500 1(Off) 1(Y0.1) 405
18. When the instruction is started (bEnable is from Off to On) and the bUpdate flag is set to On to change
the parameter, the instruction will compare all the compare values in the compare table set by users
according to the current counter vale. The group values that are smaller than the current counter value
will Run the compare arrival action. For example, when the instruction starts with the counter value 3500,
the actions numbered 1 ~3 (compare value < current counter value) in the compare table will be Run once
with the compare arrival action (Y0.0=On, Y0.1=On, Y0.0 Toggle (alternating ON/OFF)), and iCurrentNo
will be set to 3.
18 8
19. If bEnable is from On to Off, it means that shutting the table compare output function. iCurrentNo status
display will return to 0. The output point state is not changed by the instruction being off. Counter remains
counting, but no more comparison.

2. When EN is OFF→ON, the instruction will compare all the compare values in the compare table set by
users. The group values that are smaller than the current counter value will Run the compare arrival
action. Because the counter value is still smaller than the first compare value 1000 when startup. No
compare arrival specified action will be Run, and iCurrentNo is 0 currently.
3. When the counter value reaches 1000, compare arrives the first compare value (If it is pulse input,
compare arrival specified action will be Run when the counter value is 1000→1001).
4. When the counter value reaches 2000, compare arrives the second compare value, Y0.1 is OFFON,
401 interruption program is running, and iCurrentNo=2.
5. When the counter value reaches 3000, compare arrives the third compare value, Y0.2 is OFFON, 402

7. Follow this rule to continue compare arrival from the fifth to tenth compare value. At this time
iCurrentNo=10. Because the last comparison has done, next compare vale will be set as the first
compare value 1000.
8. When the ring counter counts to 1000 again, compare arrives the first counter value, Y1.0 is ONOFF,

• Function
4. The DHCMEAS instruction is AS02HC-A dedicated instruction. Its functions are frequency and rotation
speed measurements.
5. DHCMEAS needs to be used with the DHCCNT instruction. Only when DHCCNT is started, the counter
value counts according to input signals, and the measurement results are calculated by the change of the
counter values.
6. Complete setting udiPulsePerRev, iSamplingTime, and iMovingAvgWindow parameters before
running the instruction. bEnable will write the parameter once when it is first started. If users want to
change parameters during running, the change method is to set new values first, and then set the bUpdate
flag to On. When this instruction completes the change, the instruction will clear the bUpdate flag to Off.
19 3
channel two is 2.
9. udiPulsePerRev is the counter value of one rotation of the encoder, and its setting range is 1–
4294967295 (H’00000001~H’FFFFFFFF).
10. iSamplingTime is sampling period, and its setting range is 1~1000 (unit: ms). According to the setting of
iSamplingTime, diFrequency frequency measurement result output and diRPM rotation speed
measurement result output will have different resolution.
𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝 resolution = 1000 ÷ 𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢 (unit: Hz)
𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝 resolution = 60000 ÷ (𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢 × 𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮)(unit: rev/min)
Because the rotation speed calculation method is based on the CurCnt counter value of the beginning and end
of the sampling period, the following situations need to be excluded when designing sampling periods.
Encoder Type Counter Type Factors to Effect Measurement Accuracy

Ring Counter Displacement exceeds 231 in the sampling period.
Incremental encoder Displacement exceeds 231 in the sampling period, or the counter
Linear Counter
value exceeds the upper/lower limit.
Shows absolute Displacement exceeds in the sampling period.
Absolute SSI encoder position
Ring counter Displacement exceeds 231 in the sampling period.
11. iMovingAvgWindow is the average number of times, which performs moving average to measurement
results. Its setting range is 1–10.
12. diFrequency is the result of average measurement frequency (unit: Hz). The calculation method of the
frequency is as below:
CurCnt(t + 𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢) − CurCnt(t)
𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝(Hz) =
𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢(ms) × 10−3
13. diRPM is the result of the average rotation speed measurement (unit: rev/min). The calculation method of
the rotation speed is as below:
( CurCnt(t + 𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢) − CurCnt(t) ) × 60
𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝𝐝(rev/min) =
𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮𝐮 × 𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢𝐢(ms) × 10−3
14. When the instruction is shut off, it means that the measurement function is disabled, and diFrequency &
diRPM will remain the same and no more update.
15. Note that when the counter value is cleared or users change the counter value, the calculation result of
diFrequency and diRPM of the sampling period will be affected.
Programming Example: Incremental encoder
19 4
1. Set CH1 Input Interface in AS02HC-A Parameters to “Pulse Input”, set Pulse Type to “A/B phase (2x)”,
and set Counter Type to “Ring counter” as shown in the following figure:
2. Set udiPulsePerRev to 1000, set iSamplingTime to 1000, and set iMovingAvgWindow to 10.
3. When setting M0=ON, the DHCCNT counter starts to count. At the same time, set the DHCMEAS
parameters to the module, and start to measure frequency and rotation speed. The pulse number
counted every 1000ms is displayed in diFrequency and diRPM.
4. When the motor operation frequency is 5kHz, diFrequency shows 5kHz, and diRPM shows 300rev/min.

the specified aIntegerData or aFloatData (Determined according to the Format setting in the module
Parameters page).
19 7
3. The specifications of the Record Period and the number of points corresponding to each Model are
described in the following table. For detailed usage, refer to the iMode parameter description.
Model Record Period Number of Records
AS04AD-A Fixed period mode:
Fixed to 500 records
AS06XA-A The setting range is 1~100, and the unit time is fixed at 10ms
Fixed period (Fixed period) mode, trigger start types fixed

recording mode:
Setting range 1~32000, selectable time unit 20us/40us/80us
(Note: The time unit is the sampling period set by
AS02ADH-A HWCONFIG) Can set from 1 to 2000 records
Point Logging mode:
One point is recorded every time the external input point
is triggered, and there is no fixed period; the trigger timing of
the external input point is set by HWCONFIG.
Channel 1 triggers when X0.0 shift to True or False
Channel 2 triggers when X0,1 shift to True or False
4. byRemoteID specifies the group number of the analog input module connected to the right side of the
host or the right side of the remote module, the host number is 0, the number of the first remote module
is 1, and so on, the maximum number of groups is 15.
5. byLocalID specifies the module number. The sequence number of the modules connected to the right
side of the host starts from 0, second module is 1, and so on. Regardless of any type of modules, they
must be counted, and the maximum number of modules is limited to 32 units.
6. usiChannelNo specifies the channel number. Channel 1 is numbered 1, channel 2 is numbered 2.
7. iMode is recording mode. Modes supported by each Model are shown in the table below.
Applicable Model iMode Value Name Recording Mode Descroption

Applicable Model iMode Value Name Recording Mode Descroption

The external trigger timing point
can be specified to record the
3 Fixed period + Trigger Start mode
data recorded in the fixed period
before / after.
(1) Fixed period (Fixed period) mode:

Set iMode=0, the command bEnable is turned on to Run the recording with the set Record Period. When
the set total number of records is completed, the bDone flag will be automatically set to TRUE.
Example：
Set iTotalPoints = 2000
(2) Fixed period + Trigger Start mode：
Set iMode=1, turn on the command bEnable before starting the recording. When the external trigger input
point is triggered, the recording will be Run with the set Record Period immediately, and the bDone flag
will be automatically set to True when the recording is completed. Any operation on the external trigger
input point will not affect the recording until the set total number of records is completed; however, when
the record number has been completed and the bDone flag is True, the external input point can be re-
triggered to start a new record. A round of records does not need to be closed and restarted by bEnable.
Corresponding to external trigger input signal source

Record Channel (Set the trigger timing of the external input point in the External Trigger Input of the
module Parameters)
Channel 1 Triggers when X0.0 shift to True or False
Channel 2 Triggers when X0,1 shift to True or False
Example：
Set iTotalPoints = 2000. The trigger timing of the external input point is set as the rising edge trigger.
19 9
The fixed period + trigger start mode is similar to the fixed period mode, but the recording start timing of
the fixed period mode will be affected by the host scan time and module communication time, causing
delay, refer to below picture. In the Fixed period mode, it is assumed that M0 is the device that controls
the DADLOG command bEnable. When M0 is turned OFF->ON, the module does not start recording
immediately, but with a small delay.

(3) Point Logging Mode：
Set iMode=2. Turn on the command bEnable before starting to record. Each time the external trigger
input point is triggered, one record will be recorded. When the set total number of records is reached, the
bDone flag will be automatically set to True; if wish to continue recording after the bDone flag is True, user
must restart the command.

Record
(Set the trigger timing of the external input point in the External Trigger Input of the module
Channel
Parameters)
Example:
Set iTotalPoints = 2000, The trigger timing of the external input point is set as the rising edge.
(4) Fixed period + Trigger position Assign Mode：

Set iMode=3, and set the iTotalPoints and iPostTrigger parameters. This mode is triggered by an external
input point and records a specific number of strokes before/after the trigger according to the setting. After
using the command bEnable to enable this recording mode, AS02ADH-A will start to wait for the external
trigger input signal, and start sampling immediately after the signal is triggered. When the Number of
Records reaches the set number of records, the bDone flag will be automatically set to True. The
iCurPointNo value is 0 before the trigger. After the trigger, the module starts to send the record data
before the trigger to the host, so the iCurPointNo value will gradually catch up with the accumulated
record number.

Record
(Set the trigger timing of the external input point in the External Trigger Input of the module
Channel
Parameters)
Example:
Set iMode=3, iTotalPoints = 2000, iPostTrigger = 1500, means that the position of the 501st point
(iTotalPoints - iPostTrigger) will be the first data recorded by the current external trigger.
20 1
1. iPeriod is set for Record Period, the description is as follows:

Model iPeriod Range iPeriod Unit
AS04AD-A
1~100 Fixed as 10ms, cannot be changed.
AS06XA-A
The sampling cycle time must be set by AS02ADH-A Parameters,
20us, 40us and 80us can be selected.
AS02ADH-A 1~32000
If "iMode=2: Point Logging Mode" is used, this iPeriod setting is
invalid.
2. iTotalPoints is the total number of records. This parameter is only valid for AS02ADH-A, and can be set
up to 2000 points; other models are fixed at 500 points regardless of the setting of this parameter.
Model Total Recordm Setting Range
AS04AD-A
The setting is invalid, fixed at 500.
AS06XA-A
AS02ADH-A Can be set, 1~2000 records.
3. iPostTrigger is the points recorded after the trigger occurs. This parameter is used in combination with
the total number of records iTotalPoints to record the data before and after the trigger. This parameter is
only used in Fixed period + Trigger position Assign mode (iMode=3), and is invalid in other modes. Be
cautious that this value should not be greater than the total number of iTotalPoints. If it exceeds, it will
automatically use the iTotalPoints value as Number of Records.
Example：If set iTotalPoints＝100, iPostTrigger＝200. Since iPostTrigger is greater than the total
number of records, iPostTrigger will be automatically regarded as 100, so only 100 records after the trigger
will be recorded.
Model iPostTrigger Setting Range
AS02ADH-A ０~2000 records (Must not be greater than the total number of iTotalPoints records)
Example：
Set iTotalPoints= 100, iPostTrigger= 700, the 1000 records include the first 300 records and the last 700
records triggered by the external trigger input point.
20 2
1. aIntegerData and aFloatData are specified arrays to store record values. (According to the Format
setting in the parameters page of the module to determine which array to store in, the value in the other
array will be cleared to 0).
2. iCurPointNo is to display the number of records that the module has sent back to the host. When the
record is in progress, the iCurPointNo value may not be displayed in a consistent value due to the
influence of the scanning cycle.
3. bDone is the flag of record completion. When bDone is OFF->ON, it means that all record values have
been transferred to the specified aIntegerData or aFloatData array. The bDone flag will be automatically
initialized to OFF when bEnable changes from OFF->ON.
4. If the command is closed, the specified channel will stop updating the values in the right half of the
command.
5. When any error occurs during startup, the bError error flag will be set to ON. Refer to the error code of

1. This function requires AX-3 series firmware version 1.0.3 or later.

2. This function requires AS00SCM firmware version 2.08.00 or later.
20 9
3. Before using this function, the communication protocol corresponding to the SCM function card must be set
to SCM RS.
4. ComPort is the communication port number. Up to four AS00SCM can be connected to the right side of the
PLC. If the communication port range is exceeded, the FB will not receive any communication data.
Card1 No. Card2 No.
1st AS00SCM 1 2
2nd AS00SCM 11 12
3rd AS00SCM 21 22
4th AS00SCM 31 32
5. When the condition of ending receiving has the specific character, it is recommended to use ASCII-
encoded communication data. If not, it is recommended to use the communication time-out as a mark to
end.
6. Take the first AS00SCM CARD1 on the right side of AX-3 as an example. FunctionCardOutput(Slave)[0] is
the length of the received data, and FunctionCardOutput(Slave)[0]+1~ FunctionCardOutput(Slave)[0]+n is
the stored received data. Suppose RxMode = SPECIFIC_END_CHAR_2 and ParaSet.PSpecificEndChar =
16#0D0A, the FB will store the data after FunctionCardOutput(Slave)[1] according to the order of receiving.
The data will not be stopped to receive until the two consecutive ending characters are 16#0D and 16#0A.
The length will be entered in FunctionCardOutput(Slave)[0], and then the completion flag will be set to
Done.
7. When the receiving mode is 7, 8, and 9, the corresponding communication interrupt numbers generated by
each communication port are as follows:
32 modules can be connected to the right side of the AX-3 controller, and there are different interrupt
numbers according to the location of the SCM, as shown in the following table:

• Function
The FB instruction (DFB_ModbusTCPRequest) is used for sending Modbus communication data. You must
finish the configuration of Delta_Modbus_TCP_Master and Delta_Modus_TCP_Slave before using this
instruction. (For more details, refer to chapter 9.3 Ethernet Communication in AX-3 Series Operational
Manual.)
Note: DFB_ModbusTCPChannel and DFB_ModbusTCPRequest instructions can be used in a maximum of

 This example uses DFB_ModbusTCPRequest to send standard Modbus command (0x17) for reading a
100-word long data in the slave station (Delta_Modbus_TCP_Slave), which the start address is 0x0000,
and writing a data of 100-word long to the start address 0x0100 in the memory.

• Function
You can set the network configuration of the AX series controller by DFB_SetIPConfig.
Note 1: If the controller has multiple independent network ports, the ports must be set to different domains,
such as 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.y.
Note 2: If the AX controller network configuration is set by DFB_SetIPConfig, and the input parameter
strGateway is not set or set to 0.0.0.0, the GateWay setting of the AX controller will be cleared.
Note 3: If Enable Gateway and DNS Setting of the network port does not work, you cannot change the
gateway setting by DFB_SetIPConfig.
In this example, the FB instruction (DFB_SetIPConfig) sets the IP address of the X1 network port of the
controller to 192.168.1.15.
