Interrupt Function If the interrupt function is selected, the F3XH04-3N module continues to hold its input on for the duration of 512 µs once it detects an off-to-on transition in the input. The interrupt program therefore may not be executed if an input pulse shorter than 512 µs is used as the interrupt signal. If a module that responds very quickly to a change in the input signal, like this F3XH04-3N module, is used as the means for inputting interrupt signals, the CPU module will continue to run the interrupt program for an input of consecutive high-speed pulses and fail to run its regular programs. To avoid this, the F3XH04-3N module is designed to hold the given input signal for a specific length of time once it detects a pulse in order to prohibit itself from detecting any subsequent pulses. This function thus prevents the CPU module from running the interrupt program repeatedly. The timing diagram of the interrupt function is show below.
Do not allow the input relays of any single F3XH04-3N module to be shared by more than one CPU module. Otherwise, the pulse-capture or interrupt function may not work correctly. (This is still applicable even if two or more CPU modules share a relay having a different number.)
*1: These values are applicable when using the module with CPU module F3SP22, F3SP28, F3SP38, F3SP53, F3SP58, F3SP59, F3SP66, F3SP67, F3SP71 or F3SP76 module. If other CPU modules are used, the values are the same as those for F3XD08-6N modules. The actual response time is obtained by adding about 100 μs for OFF→ON and about 300 μs for ON→OFF to the specified value. If the input sampling time is set to a very small value, the modules become susceptible to noise. In such a case, implement countermeasures against noise as described in Section A3.4 "Noise Control Considerations" and Section A3.9 "CE Marking Compliance". *2: If input interrupt is to be used, set the input sampling time to 62.5 μs or more.These values are applicable when using the module with CPU module F3SP22, F3SP28, F3SP38, F3SP53, F3SP58, F3SP59, F3SP66, F3SP67, F3SP71 or F3SP76 module. If other CPU modules are used, the values are the same as those for F3XD16-F modules. The actual response time is obtained by adding about 100 μs for OFF→ON and about 300 μs for ON→OFF to the specified value for F3XD16-F modules and by adding about 10 μs to the specified value for F3XD16-3H modules. If the input sampling time is set to a very small value, the modules become susceptible to noise. In such a case, implement countermeasures against noise as described in Section A3.4 "Noise Control Considerations" and Section A3.9 "CE Marking Compliance".
are not of hermetically sealed type. Dust or corrosive gases in the installation environment adversely affect the service life of the relays. Relays that are switched on and off in an atmosphere containing silicone gases from silicone-based materials may suffer from poor electrical contact due to SiO2 (silicon dioxide) formed and deposited on the surfaces of their contacts. Risks of bad contact due to silicon gases are especially high under load conditions below 24 VDC and 500 mA. In such environments, we recommend the use of transistor output modules or other modules employing semiconductor elements instead.Don’t connect DC load and AC load to single module together. Don’t connect loads from different AC sources to single module together. In case of using these loads at once, connect to different relay output modules separately.
