Version 8.3 Upgrade Information
Functionality Improved from Version 8.2 to 8.3
Compatible PLC Models
The functionality improvements are supported for CJ2H CPU Units with unit version
1.2 or later.
TIMER and COUNTER Added as Symbol Data Types
Previous version (version 8.2) New version (version 8.3)
When defining timer numbers and counter
numbers as symbols, the following three different
symbols had to be registered in the symbols
table.
1. Timer numbers and counter numbers
specified in instruction operands had to
be defined as NUMBER symbols.
2. Timer and Counter Completion Flags
had to be defined as BOOL symbols.
3. Timer and counter present values had
to be defined as CHANNEL symbols.
TIMER and COUNTER symbols are supported
so that all of the previous three types of symbols
can be managed as one data type. (TIMER and
COUNTER are supported only by CJ2H CPU
Units with unit version 1.0 or later.)
TIMER: Can be used for 1) the timer number, 2)
the Timer Completion Flag, and 3) the timer
present value.
COUNTER: Can be used for 1) the counter
number, 2) the Counter Completion Flag, and 3)
the counter present value.
Automatically assigning timer and counter
numbers in ladder programs was not possible.
Automatic address assignment and layout are
supported for TIMER and COUNTER symbols.
(TIMER and COUNTER are supported only by
CJ2H CPU Units with unit version 1.0 or later.)
