With the Windows NT Embedded 4.0 pre-installation version, at the time of a power supply injection, a screen becomes deep-black and STOP.
When the Master / Slave setup of the case where BIOS setup of a PC CPU unit is returned to a default, or disk unit are changed by Windows NT Embedded 4.0, OS cannot start normally. Please start the BIOS setup of a PC CPU unit, and change a setup like below. In addition, please refer to a PC CPU unit user's manual ( PPC-CPU686(MS)-MJ ) about the starting method of BIOS setup, or the setting change method.

Although silicon disc PPC-SDD(MS) series and the CD-ROM drive ( HDD drive ) are used together, CD-ROM drive ( or HDD drive ) cannot be read.
It corresponds to "restrictions at the time of P3 Master / Slave connection" indicated by the PPC-SDD(MS) series explanatory. When this SDD is made into a master, use which makes HDD or CD-ROM a slave cannot be performed.

MasterSlaveEmployment Propriety
SDDHDDImpossible
SDDCD-ROMImpossible
HDDSDDPossible
CD-ROMSDDPossible
SDDSDDPossible
( Notes )
1) Even if it makes into slave SDD in which OS was installed, it makes CD-ROM drive a master and it starts, it starts from C:drive ( SDD ) normally and D:drive ( CD-ROM ) can be read.
2) In Windows NT Embedded 4.0, the combined use with a hard disk needs to make HDD a master.
In order to make it start from SDD of a slave at this time, it is necessary to raise the priority of Slave with the BOOT sequence menu of BIOS, and to correspond with it.

Normal operation is not carried out although Q bus driver was installed by Windows2000.
The following is indicated by PPC-DRV-01 explanatory.

In the case of Windows2000, in addition to installation which is PPC-DRV-01 (utility), PPC-DRV-01 (driver *1) needs to be installed.
 *1 In NT4.0, installation of "driver" is unnecessary.

1) installation of a utility: Explanatory P12( 4.1.2.(19) ) => required of NT4.0 and Win2000
Execution of Setup.exe in CD-ROM
2) Installation of the driver for 2000: Explanatory P15( 4.1.2.(2) ) => Necessary at Win2000. Unnecessary at NT4.0.

The method of power interruption by UPS use ( an example )
Combined use with UPS
 UPS is used for the power supply of a PLC base, and it connects with a PC CPU, and if the power supply management software for a shutdown is used (RS-232C etc.), the power supply OFF after a shutdown will be processed automatically.
 If the primary power supply of UPS is severed, UPS will be changed to a backup power supply and a shutdown command will be published from UPS to a PC CPU (RS-232C etc.). If a shutdown is completed with a PC CPU, the notice of completion is published to the UPS side, and UPS turns off the backup power supply by the side of secondary. Therefore, if the main breakers etc. are set as the primary UPS power supply, it can turn off automatically only by turning off a breaker.
 However, a time lag occurs until a PLC power supply is turned off from Breaker OFF.

Please let me know the recommendation article of UPS which can be used for a PC CPU.
To the PLC base power supply which used the PC CPU, the following UPS by Mitsubishi Electric Corp. serves as a recommendation article. Mitsubishi UPS "FREQUPS" V/A series In addition, FREQUPS-F series cannot be used.
Moreover, UPS of a rectangle wave output cannot use the power supply unit for PLC.
Please refer to the homepage of Mitsubishi Electric Corp. for the details of FREQUPS series. http://www.mitsubishielectric.co.jp/frequps/

Do a PC CPU, hard disk, and silicon disc unit occupy I/O point ?
I/O allotment is not occupied only by PPC-SDD(MS) series and PPC-HDD(MS)-5 using a slot.
It is possible to set it as zero point with a parameter. (When not setting up, it is set as one slots 16 as an empty slot.) In addition, by parameter setup, although a CPU unit occupies 2slots physically, since it is recognized as 1slot, please give 2 slot eye as empty slots ( I/O un-occupying or 16 defaults ).

Please let me know notes at the time of multi-CPU system configuration.
The following is indicated by PPC-DRV-01 explanatory PIII.
A) When you build the multi-CPU system which used the PC CPU unit, as for PLC CPU, 5 figures should use QCPU ( Q mode ) after "03051" on the functional version B and serial No.
B) When you build the multi-CPU system which used the PC CPU unit, Motion CPU should use the product after following serial No.

  • Q172CPU -- 1 figure is after "H" on serial No.
  • Q173CPU -- 1 figure is after "G" on serial No.

  • C) The multi-CPU parameter set up in the PC CPU unit cannot be diverted to QCPU ( Q mode ) in the same system. Please divert the multi-CPU parameter set up by QCPU ( Q mode ).

    ( PS/2 mouse is connected to No. 1 of a cable and keyboard is connected to No. 2. )
    Please check whether SW-6 of the DIP switch of PPC-CPU686(MS) main part are turned on. ( Explanatory PPC-CPU686(MS)-MJ P32 )
    It is turned off it at the time of shipment, and DIP switch SW-6 have become PS/2 keyboards only. If PS/2 splitter ( KB-PSY02K3 SANWA SUPPLY ) is used at the time of this setup, the above-mentioned phenomenon will occur.

    Although the circumference use temperature indicated by the catalog is 0-55 degrees C, the circumference use temperature of a hard disk unit is 5-55 degrees C. Does a system configuration top become the numerical value of hard disk unit ?
    System configuration top follows specification with lower environmental specification. Therefore, when using a hard disk unit, the circumference temperature as a system configuration becomes 5-55 degrees C.
    In addition, this corresponds also to the environmental specification as the whole system at the time of equipping with option articles ( Floppy disk disk drive, CD-ROM drive, etc. ) or commercial peripheral equipment ( PC card, USB apparatus, keyboard, etc. ).
