This manual is intended as a supplement to the AFC3000 Hardware Operation Manual and should be
used in conjunction with information provided in that manual. FEC recommends reading that manual
before the contents of this manual (which only applies to systems requiring the optional Ethernet I/P
interface).
Ethernet-I/P
The AFC3000 Ethernet-I/P System conforms to the open field network Ethernet-I/P. Control of tools and
transactions of message information are executed by Ethernet-I/P explicit message communication.
Due to conformance with the open field network Ethernet-I/P System, connections with Ethernet-I/P devices
(master/slave) of other manufacturers are enabled.
Also, remote I/O communication and message communication can be executed at the same time.

* The word No. at the PLC side differs according to the setting of the node address, etc., so please be sure
to confirm before using. Please refer to the AFC3000 Operation Manual, Section 5-3-2 and 5-3-3 for
description of the respective signals.
Caution
Cautio
n
The allocation of the input signals is fixed (cannot be changed).

The unused area of the inputs is also secured (and cannot be used by other
devices).
Be careful of the following points when using the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals.
If a certain Unit is to be put in the BYPASS mode, set the corresponding signal
among the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals to ON with the START signal of the Unit
being in the OFF state and the BUSY signal of the MASTER Spindle for PC
communication and I/O (PLC) control being in the OFF state.
When fastening is executed with any of the spindle BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals
in the ON state, the fastening judgment of that Unit will be ignored as if it does not
exist.
Also, when any of the BYPASS No. # (1 to 32) signals is set to ON with the BUSY
of the MASTER Spindle being in the ON state, the sequence judgment may result
in REJECT.

that comes from the Master Unit) The Axis format contains the actual spindle fastening data (such as
Torque, Angle, Time, Rate, etc.) Right click on the table and select the item from the pop up window
that you wish to be transferred.
(Example of Multi format selection shown above)

Note: Selecting Null deletes the item from the list.

2. Max. message length: 16words/32 bytes
(As configured in AFC3000 Software)
3. Input Example
Select ASCII letters to send message information from the PLC to the MASTER Spindle for PC
communication and I/O (PLC) control. (Only ASCII Data can be recognized by FEC Master)
The message information sent from the PLC to the MASTER Spindle for PC communication and I/O
(PLC) control is reflected in the fieldbus communication, the AFC3000 User Console, the Unit
RS232C, and the expansion RS232C.
- The standard set value for the ID input data is 32 bytes (16 words). Be careful
because even when a value beyond this is set, only the 32 bytes from the start
are saved in the fastening result retention of the Unit.
- Do not use the following characters.

PAGE 35
PLC CONFIGURATION DATA WRITE

A Write_Tag needs to be added to the Controller Tags for data to be sent from the PLC to the FEC Master
Spindle. (Such as part ID Data) This data when received by the FEC Master spindle will be Married with
the fastening result data so that the fastening data would now contain the part ID number providing a birth
history for the part being fastened.
The Write_Tag contains the configuration of the message transfer. A MSG command (Message command
in the PLC logic) must be used in conjunction with a Write_Tag to send data. In the case below,
VIN_Number_Write tag has been setup and configured (following pages)

Note: The FEC Master spindle will only take a maximum of 32 Bytes for the Write_Tag (Part ID data)
configurable (between 0-32 bytes) in the AFC3000 software for the Fieldbus Message Setup. So an
instance of 1 is all that is required in the above setup for WRITING data using the Message Command.
PAGE 37
PLC Logic Example: Sending Message data to FEC Master Spindle
The MSG message command initiates the message data to be sent or received. The Write tag sends the
data to the device connected, and the Read tag retrieves the data from the connected device.
In the example above, the Write MSG command takes place at or near the start of the machine cycle before
the FEC controller has been issued a START command. (The FEC Master Spindle, can receive the Write
Data any time before the end of the fastening cycle. Once received, the data is buffered and will be used
until new message data is received or the ID DATA CLEAR Input signal is enabled (See Input signals).
(The ID data received by the FEC Master Spindle will be married with the fastening data and will continue to
use the same message data it receives until new data is sent or the ID Data Clear signal is turned on. Care
must be taken so data is not recorded with the same ID data in that case)
The Read Tag in the example above is shown happening AFTER the FEC fastening is completed. Once
fastening is completed, the MSG Read command can be performed and the fastening result data will be
read into the PLC.
