About software version This manual describes the version 1.10 of JW-300SP.

Precautions - When you plan to use SHARP programmable controllers (hereafter referred to as "PLCs"),you are requested to design each system so that even if a fault or malfunction occurs within the PLC, it will not lead to a serious accident in your system. You should incorporate back-up measures and fail-safe features in your system that will thoroughly protect your system from malfunctions if a fault or error occurs in the PLC. - SHARP PLCs are designed and manufactured with the idea that they will be used in general applications in ordinary industries. Therefore, they must not be used in specific applications that can affect the health or safety of the public, such as nuclear power plants and other power generating plants. Such applications require a special warranty of quality that SHARP explicitly does NOT offer for these PLCs. However, if a user will certify that he/she does not requires a special quality warranty on the PLC, and will limit the use of the PLC to non critical areas of these applications, SHARP will agree to such use. If you are planning to use SHARP PLCs for applications that may affect the lives of human beings and property, and you need particularly high reliability performance, such as in the fields of aviation, medicine, transportation, combustion and fuel processing equipment, passenger cars, amusement park rides, and safety equipment, please contact our sales division so that we can confirm the required specifications.

Notes - Despite of our effort to create products with excellency, should you find any deficiency, please notify the dealer where you obtained the software or our customer service companies. - Users are not authorized to copy the whole or the part of this instruction manual and software without our consent. - Due to the amelioration of the product, please understand that the materials of this manual and software are subject to change without notification. - We are not held responsible for any damages created as the result of using this software , nor damages claimed by the third party as the result of using this software.

Preface

This product is ladder logic programming software for programmable controllers (PLC)working on Windows. You can input, edit and monitor programs or data for PLC.

1-1 Features (1) You can operate this software, using a keyboard When you have some difficulty in using a mouse, for example, you can input instructions or can switch screens, using only the keyboard. The key assignment is the same as one for JW-50SP/100SP, however, you can customize it. Programming with a keyboard (P3-1)

(2) Detecting a network You can always check the situations of contacts or coils selected in the ladder diagram in the cross-reference window.You can easily jump to the network you want to edit.This function saves your time for design or debugging. (3) Selecting a view Various optional function You can select a window view according to your purpose. (4) Improving working efficiency You can operate or manage the programs before and after editing, at the same time, in one project file. (5) Dividing your task You can divide a programming task into several blocks and, furthermore,can divide a block into several subprograms to design or manage. The divided program is easy to design, reuse or debug.

(6) Using the line input system You can efficiently create a network with the line input system of JW-300SP. This system prevents input errors by rejecting a disconnected network or a syntactically prohibited network. You can also use the cell input system of JW-50SP/100SP to change a network, for example, by adding OR lines or to insert or delete a contact. Note : Cell input system The system in which you input vertical lines (OR lines) and horizontal line (AND line) into a cell. While you can input them freely, you may happen to input a disconnected network or a syntactically prohibited network. As a result, your operation time may be increased compared with a case using the line input system. Line input system (P3-2)

Chapter 3 Creating Programs 3-13 Setting/resetting (latched relay or general-purpose relay) There are two kinds of setting/resetting operation. One is setting/resetting operation on a latched relay or a general-purpose relay, in which the results of calculation have priority; and the other is setting/resetting forcefully on a contact such as an input relay, an output relay, an latched relay or a general-purpose relay, in which the results of calculation are ignored. This section describes the former operation. On the ladder programming screen below or the data memory screen [start monitoring] Select the keep relay or general-purpose relay you want to set/reset. Right-click it, and the short-cut menu below is displayed. If you click [Set], the selected contact turns to be [ON]; if you click [Reset], the selected contact turns to be [OFF].Since this is not forced operation, you cannot reset a contact that is [ON] as the result of program calculation or cannot set a contact that is [OFF] as the result of program calculation.

To set/reset a component other than a latched relay or a general-purpose relay, such as an auxiliary relay, turn on the set value altering switch 07365 beforehand. Note: This is only for PLC models with set value altering switch 07365. Since the set value altering switch 07365 is cleared in every calculation, the self-retained network does not become effective. Therefore, you need to create a program that always remains ON in calculation, like the program below. You can easily check the output module of the PLC by building in only the program below when other programs are not built in, for example, before trial operation.07366 is always OFF contact.If 07366 is used as B contact,OUT07365 is always turned ON.

3-46

Chapter 3 Creating Programs 3-14 Forced process, forced release, forced all release There are two kinds of setting/resetting operation. One is setting/resetting operation on a latched relay or a general-purpose relay, in which the results of calculation have priority; and the other is setting/resetting forcefully on a contact such as an input relay, an output relay, an auxiliary relay or a general-purpose relay, in which the results of calculation are ignored. This section describes the latter operation. On the ladder programming screen below or the data memory screen,[start monitoring] Select the contact you want to set/reset forcefully.Right-click it, and the short-cut menu below is displayed. If you select [Force] - [On], the selected contact turns to be [ON] forcefully; if you select [Force] - [Off], the selected contact turns to be [OFF] forcefully. After the forced operation, the situation of the input relay and the output relays turns to be as follows. Input relay With no regard to the ON/OFF condition of the external switch, the calculation is executed in the forceful condition of ON or OFF. (The LED of the input module is not influenced.) Output relay With no regard to the calculation result by the program, the situation is displayed in output module as forceful ON or OFF. Be careful when you use this function because it is a forceful processing disregarding the calculation result by the program.

The forcefully processed contact is attached with a forced processing symbol on the left side of the relay address. To get back the original condition of the contact that has been forcedly set or reset, select the contact during the forced processing, and click [Unforce]. To get back the original condition of all the contacts that have been forcedly set or reset, click [Unforce All]. If the PLC is powered off, the forced processing is all released. You cannot forcedly process special relay areas.

Chapter 3 Creating Programs 3-15 Break monitoring Monitoring the condition of data memory during PLC calculation is called break monitoring. Break monitoring is helpful in checking PLC programs in trial operation because break monitoring is to monitor the condition of data memory during PLC operation. There are three types of break functions:[Break monitor], [Program address indicated break], and [Register/relay address indicated break]. Break monitor is to monitor the flag information such as zero flag during calculation or the condition of stack at an address where an instruction exists. Program address indicated break is to set the program address and the scan frequency to the break point and to monitor the condition when the specified items are executed. Register/relay address indicated break is to set the register relay address number and the comparison data to the break point, to compare the contents of PLC register relay address with the set data, and to monitor the condition according to the comparison result (matched or unmatched). You can use only [Break monitor] and [Program address indicated break] for JW300 series. (as of October, 2003) Operation of program address indicated break 1. From the menu bar, select [Online] - [Monitor] - [Start]. Monitoring starts. 2. Select the program you want to set as the break point. Right-click it, and select [Break] - [Break point].
