From EVOLUTION to REVOLUTION

The FA-M3 has reborned as the FA-M3 R,

to revolutionize the users' equipment.

for Revolution!

FA-M3 R is a new generic name for FA-M3 controllers containing one or

more of the brand new, ultra-fast four CPU modules.

FA-M3 R can simply be called the "M3R".

FA-M3 R and FA-M3 have upward compatibility.

Introduction to FA-M3

The design concept was to increase the speed of the FA-M3. The new high-

speed Instruction-Process-Response-Scan, or High-speed IPRS, in the FA-M3 R

was designed to achieve this objective.

Extensive studies were conducted to meet every requirement including ultra-high-

speed control, steady dispersion-free control and improved networking functions

including link control. The FA-M3 R is Yokogawa's ideal controller for next-

generation equipment, delivering even greater accuracy and productivity.

handles 192 points.

Universal I/O Range

Can control up to 8, 192 points and contain devices of up

to 310K words per system.

Capabilities of a high-end PLC at the cost of a low- or

mid-range PLC

In case of 1000-2000 I/O points, the list price becomes

one third to a half against other vendor’s PLC

Outstanding Maintenance Support Functions

Remote OME** function using public phone line and Ethernet

Diagnostic based on error log and user log

Diagnostic based on sampling trace

Common I/O module spares for all system regardless of I/O

range

Multi-CPU

Tasks can be divided by multiple ladder CPUs

Data processing by the BASIC CPU

PC applications run by the AT-compatible CPU

FA-M3 Programming Tool WideField

Object ladder, a new programming method succeeding to

structured programming

Blocks and macros can be coded independently, thus

drastically increasing reusability.

Increased efficiency of reuse with improved visibility

Easy data exchange with Windows-based applications

BASIC Programming Tool M3 for Windows

Convenient BASIC program development under the Windows

environment

FA-M3 R Features

* Indicates the performance when running a program that contains basic instructions and application instructions in average ratios; does not guarantee that all

the user's program will run at this speed.

** Acronym of remote Operation Maintenance and Engineering proposed by Yokogawa Electric Corporation.

The FA-M3 R outclasses the capabilities of today's PLCs and offers the

functionality, performance, a choice of languages and expandability

provided by a microcomputer board.

No more tedious quality control of huge variety of boards or

discontinuation of parts - the user can concentrate on adding value to

equipment.

Minimum scan time of 200 µs.

* In comparison to the former CPU module of Yokogawa with the actual applications

The FA-M3 R delivers high-speed in all aspects, running a 20K steps of program in one

millisecond (ratio of application instructions used: 50%). Actual applications for today's

functionally-enhanced equipment contain a larger ratio of application instructions. For

such applications, the FA-M3 R achieves at least ten times the performance of the

former CPU modules for the FA-M3.

The graph on the right shows examples of performance improvements.

Faster Response to Interrupt Signal

• DC input module allows quick response of 100

µs to an interrupt input

• Swift response to a change in input level to

implement instantaneous high-speed control





Sensor Control Function

• One CPU can carry out a high-speed constant

scan (from 200 µs) independently besides the

normal scan.

• The same CPU also achieves a quick

response.

TI 34M6A01-01E

LComparison with Competitors

Due to the ultra-fast processing speed, there's no need to

consider the processing time when programming.

* Executed instructions means the average number of instructions executed in 1 µs by PLC.

Why is high-speed processing necessary?

•

To carry out complicated calculations (with

application instructions) quickly

•

To stabilize mechanical control of higher

speed for higher productivity

•

To allow human-interface and diagnostic

programs to be enhanced, thus providing an

easier interface for the operator

•

To reduce unstable actions during each scan

time by network servicing

Why does a controller need to be smaller?

• To provide ample room for additional modules

• To allow installation of the controllers without affecting the machine design and

safety of the user factory (allowing perspective facilities)

• To help standardize control panels

• To reduce the size of the control panel to be minimized regardless of the

controller scale

• To reduce costs



Design concept: PLC is a substitute for relays

The FA-M3 R is packaged into the size of usual relays and conductors, and is designed for installation in the

same row with those inside a panel, thus allowing effective internal design of the panel.
