Getting Started

Hitachi PLC

Powerful Hitachi PLC

Programming Compatibility

Programming is fully compatible from the smallest PLC (MICRO-EH) to the biggest one (Big-H

series).

2 communication ports

2 communication ports can be used flexibly as programming, HMI communication and general

purpose port for bar code reader or intelligent sensors or scales.

(Note : MICRO-EH does not support the general purpose port.)

Easy programming

Hitachi provides two different programming software.

1) Pro-H : IEC61131-3 standard, Multiprogramming languages.

2) LADDER EDITOR for Windows : Easy ladder programming editor

(The both in one CD package)

High speed micro processor

EH-150 and MICRO-EH has a 32 bits RISC microprocessor called “Super H”.

Compact size

The compact PLC has more capabilities with high reliability, and saves more space and cost.

Open network

EH-150 series has Profibus DP master/slave modules and DeviceNet master/slave modules,

which will increase application range.

Flexible product line up

Digital I/O (normal / high density), analog I/O (V, I, PT100/1000), high speed counter, positioning,

several communication modules are available.

Solution for total automation system

Hitachi provides many options besides PLC as follows.

-Operator panel EH-HMI series

-Remote I/O system EH-RIO series

-Frequency inverters L/SJ100 and L300P/SJ300 series.

1. Introduction

What is a PLC?

“PLC” stands for Programmable Logic Controller. PLC is an industrial controller, which enables the

control of many devices and signals easily and flexibly. The PLC is “Programmable” by PC or hand

held programming unit. The PLC’s basically work in 3 steps : reading input data, calculating in the

CPU and writing output data according to user program in the PLC.

How it works?

The PLC has a CPU. The CPU executes (scans) a user program. When the CPU reaches the end of

the program, the CPU will return to the program top and execute again, this process is continuous. In

every cycle, input data is read, and output data is written once each.

Input and output data is effective once in a scan.

This is called “Refresh Processing”.

* Scan time (cycle time) depends on your program. (Normally 5 to 30ms.)

Binary, decimal and hexadecimal code

Before going into the Hitachi PLC details, it is important to understand the numbering system of the

PLC. Electric devices like PLC’s can handle only digital data. The minimum unit of digital data is a

“bit”. 1 bit has two states, 0 or 1.

4 bits can give us 16 different values because of 24as below left.

Since 4 bits of data is not easy to handle, the data is translated to hexadecimal code 0 to F as above

right. One hexadecimal code (= 4 bits) can express 16 different values.

4 hexadecimal codes have 65,535 values (= 164). This unit (4 hexadecimal codes = 16 bits) is called

as“Word”. Normally Hitachi PLC handles binary data and word data.

This is a comparison table of one “Word”in binary, decimal and hexadecimal expressions.

I/O address of EH-150

The I/O address of EH-150 depends on the module location and I/O type.

&Hexadecimal expression

As mentioned above, each hexadecimal code can be expressed as 4 bits.

0 : 0000 4 : 0100 8 : 1000 C : 1100

1 : 0001 5 : 0101 9 : 1001 D : 1101

2 : 0010 6 : 0110 A : 1010 E : 1110

3 : 0011 7 : 0111 B : 1011 F : 1111

Since one word (WX, WY, WM, etc.) consists of 16 bits (X, Y, M, etc.), the relation between WX/WY

and X/Y is as follows. (“H”stands for hexadecimal.)

WX 0 = H1234 = 0001 0010 0011 0100

WY 5 = H00FF = 0000 0000 1111 1111
