About this Manual:
This manual describes the operation of the C200HX/HG/HE Programmable Controllers, and it includes
the sections described below. Installation information is provided in the C200HX/HG/HE Programmable
Controller Installation Guide. A table of other manuals that can be used in conjunction with this manual is
provided in Section 1 Introduction. Provided in Section 2 Hardware Considerations is a description of the
differences between the C200HS CPU Units and the new CPU Units described in this manual.
Please read this manual completely and be sure you understand the information provided before attempt-
ing to operate the C200HX/HG/HE. Be sure to read the precautions in the following section.
Section 1 Introduction explains the background and some of the basic terms used in ladder-diagram
programming. It also provides an overview of the process of programming and operating a PC and ex-
plains basic terminology used with OMRON PCs. Descriptions of Peripheral Devices used with the
C200HX/HG/HE PCs and a table of other manuals available to use with this manual for special PC ap-
plications are also provided.
Section 2 Hardware Considerations explains basic aspects of the overall PC configuration, describes
the indicators that are referred to in other sections of this manual, and explains how to use the Memory
Cassette to manage UM and IOM data.
Section 3 Memory Areas takes a look at the way memory is divided and allocated and explains the in-
formation provided there to aid in programming. It explains how I/O is managed in memory and how bits in
memory correspond to specific I/O points. It also provides information on System DM, a special area in
C200HX/HG/HE PCs that provides the user with flexible control of PC operating parameters.
Section 4 Writing and Entering Programs explains the basics of ladder-diagram programming, looking
at the elements that make up the parts of a ladder-diagram program and explaining how execution of this
program is controlled. It also explains how to convert ladder diagrams into mnemonic code so that the
programs can be entered using a Programming Console.
Section 5 Instruction Set describes all of the instructions used in programming.
Section 6 Program Execution Timing explains the cycling process used to execute the program and
tells how to coordinate inputs and outputs so that they occur at the proper times.
Section 7 Program Debugging and Execution explains the Programming Console procedures used to
input and debug the program and to monitor and control operation.
Section 8 Communications provides an overview of the communications features provided by the
C200HS.
Section 9 Troubleshooting provides information on error indications and other means of reducing
down-time. Information in this section is also useful when debugging programs.
Section 10 Host Link Commands explains the host link commands that can be used for host link com-
munications via the C200HX/HG/HE ports.
The Appendices provide tables of standard OMRON products available for the C200HX/HG/HE PCs,
reference tables of instructions, a coding sheet to help in programming and parameter input, and other
information helpful in PC operation.
WARNING Failure to read and understand the information provided in this manual may result in
personal injury or death, damage to the product, or product failure. Please read each
section in its entirety and be sure you understand the information provided in the section
and related sections before attempting any of the procedures or operations given.
