Notes for designing

The programming must include safety circuit to ensure the safe application of the PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller) system upon power off or the PLC malfunction. Note the following when programming:
z The external circuit of the PLC must include the emergency braking circuit, protection circuit, mutual
interlock circuit of forward/reverse rotation, and the interlock switch of position upper/lower limit for
preventing equipment from damage.
z For the safe operation of the equipment and output signals of the serious accident, please design the
external protection circuit and the safety mechanism.
z All the outputs may be shutdown when the CPU of the PLC detects the abnormity of the system; the failure
of part PLC circuit may result in uncontrolled PLC output. A suitable external control circuit must be
designed to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
z When the PLC output unit such as the relay or the transistor is damaged, the PLC output cannot be
controlled as ON or OFF state.
z The PLC is designed to be used in the electrical environment of indoor area B and C☆. However, to prevent
the high lightning voltage from damaging the equipment through the ports of power input, signal input or
control output, a SPD should be installed in the power supply system.
☆: According to IEC61131-2, section 8.3.1 classification declaration
Notes for installation

z Units should not be installed in areas subject to the following conditions: excessive or conductive dust,
corrosive or flammable gas, moisture or rain, excessive heat, regular impact shocks or excessive vibration.
Electric shock, fire hazard and mishandling may also damage the product.
z Take special care not to allow metal debris and wire lead to fall inside the vent of the PLC during the screw
hole processing and wiring. Otherwise there is a danger of fire, damage or faulty operation of equipment.
z Once the installation of the new PLC is complete, remove everything on the surface of the vent, including
packing goods such as protective paper. Otherwise the poor ventilation during the operation may result in
fire, damage or faulty operation of equipment.
z Do not wire, inset or pull out the cable plug with power applied. Otherwise there is a danger of electric
shock or circuit damage.
z Installation and wiring must be fastening and reliable. Bad contact may result in faulty operation of
equipment.
z The input/output cable of high frequency signal should use the shielding cable to improve the interference
rejection of the system.
Notes for wiring

z Installation and wiring can be done only after the external power supplies are all disconnected. Otherwise
there is a danger of electric shock or equipment damage.
z Once the installation and wiring of the PLC is complete, cleanup the spot at once. To prevent the electric
shock, replace the port cover of the product before power is on.
z When wiring AC supplies, the ‘Live’ cable should be connected to the ‘L’ terminal and the ‘Neutral’ cable
should be connected to the ‘N’ terminal. Otherwise the PLC will be damaged.
z Don’t power +24V port of the main module by the external power supply. Otherwise the PLC will be
damaged.
z Do not lay I/O signal cables of the PLC next to other power cables or strong interference circuits.
z Do not make the earth port (PG) of the main module and the heavy current power system share the same
earthing.
Notes for operation and maintenance

z Do not touch the ports when the power is applied, otherwise there is a danger of an electric shock or faulty
operation of equipment.
z The cleaning and the fastening work can be done only after the power supply has been disconnected;
otherwise there is a danger of electric shock.
z Only after the power supply has been disconnected, can the communication signal cables and the cables
of the expansion module or control unit be connected or removed. Otherwise there is a danger of
equipment damage or faulty operation of equipment.
z Do not disassemble the PLC. Otherwise it may destroy the inner electrical components.
z Read through this manual carefully before operating the PLC. Safe and efficient operation of the product,
such as program alternation, trial operation, start and stop, is only based on correct operation and
maintenance.
z Do not replace the button cell battery with power applied. If the battery replacement is indeed to be done
with power applied, it shall always be carried out by adequately trained electric technical personnel
wearing insulated gloves.
Notes for the product disposal

Note the following when disposing the PLC:
z Explosive of the electrolytic capacity: The capacities on the circuit board may explode when burning.
z Exhaust gas when burning: The main body of the PLC is plastic, and it may produce poisonous gas when
burning.
z Disposal of button cell battery: Classified collecting and disposing, and separating from the daily-life
rubbish.
Follow the local environmental regulations to dispose the PLC or dispose it as industrial waste.

Chapter 3 Installation
3.1 Notes For Installation

The PLC is designed to be used in the environments meeting with standard II installation ambient, and Class 2
pollution. So the unit should be installed in such environment free of dust, conductive dust, corrosive or flammable
gas, excessive heat, moisture or rain; Besides, shocks and vibrations will also affect the reliability of the PLC and
shorten its service life, and should therefore be avoided.
Usually, the user should mount the PLC and the associated switches, contactors to the inside wall of the electric
cabinet and keep adequate natural convection. If the ambient temperature is a little high, or a heat generating
equipment is nearby, then a forced convection device should be installed on the top or the side of the cabinet to
prevent the overheat of the unit.
Take special care not to allow metal debris and wire lead to fall inside the vent of the PLC during the screw hole
processing and wiring. Otherwise there is a danger of fire, damage or faulty operation of equipment.
Once the installation of the new PLC is complete, remove everything on the surface of the vent, including packing
goods such as protective paper. Otherwise the poor ventilation during the operation may result in fire, damage or
faulty operation of equipment.
Do not wire, inset or pull out the cable plug with power applied. Otherwise there is a danger of electric shock or circuit
damage.
Installation and wiring must be firm and reliable; bad contact may result in faulty operation of equipment.
3.2 Requirements For Installation Position

To prevent a rise in temperature, mount the PLC up and down to the backboard of the cabinet horizontally. Never
mount them to the floor or ceiling of an enclosure or other directions, as shown in the Figure 3-1. You must provide a
clearance of at least 15 mm, both above and below the units, for proper cooling. No heat generating equipment
should exist around the PLC.
Figure 3-1 Requirements for installation position
3.3 Installation Method

Generally you can mount the PLC onto a standard rail (DIN) with 35mm width. Follow these steps:
1. Fix the DIN rail to the backboard;
2. Pull out the clip (located on the bottom of the PLC) and hook the back of the PLC onto the rail.
3. Snap the clip closed, carefully checking to ensure that the clip has fastened the PLC securely onto the rail.
4. At last, install two DIN rail stops at the two sides of the PLC to avoid slippage around.
Other EC20 series modules can be mounted using the same procedures.

4.7.2 Use Of Each Circuit Output Power
1. Output1 (5V/GND): Output1 is the working power of the PLC main module logic circuit, and provides power supply
to the expansion module logic circuit through the expansion port of the module at the same time. And this power will
not be used for the expansion module with self-carried power source.
2. Output2 (24V/GND): Output2 is the working power of the PLC main module relay output circuit, and provides
power supply to the expansion module relay output circuit through the expansion port of the module at the same time.
Output1 and output2 share the common ground. And this power will not be used for the expansion module with
self-carried power source.
3. Output3 (24V/COM): Output3 is the 24V power supply, which is provided to users by the PLC main module. Also it
can be used as an auxiliary power to other user circuits, sensors or expansion modules through the “24V” and “COM”
ports of the main module. Output3 is electrical isolated with Output1 and Output2.

*Explanation:
The current of “Inner consumption” in Table 4-10 is the average current consumed when the module inner circuit
works. Users cannot change it directly.
The current of “capacity provided” in Table 4-10 is the part capacity of the main module that can be used for the
external control module. The data listed in Table 4-10 is under the stable ambient condition with 25°C. If input voltage
is out of rated voltage range or the working temperature exceeds +50°C, users should consider the derating design,
which is mainly obtained by decreasing the value of “capacity provided”, to ensure the reliable operation of the PLC.
4.7.4 Derating Design Of Power Supply Circuit
1. Relation between power supply output capacity derating and power supply input voltage
When the input voltage of the PLC is beyond the rated voltage range, users should consider decreasing the main
module’s output power to the expansion module. The derating relation is shown in Figure 4-2.

Figure 4-2 Derating curves of power supply output capacity and power supply input voltage
2. Power output capacity derating vs. work temperature relationship

When the work temperature is higher than the upper limit of the specification, the power capacity provided (including
5V/24V/GND and 24V/COM) by the main module to the expansion module must be derating. The derating relation is
shown in Figure 4-3.

EC20-4DA 50mA 0 120mA ☆
EC20-4AM 50mA 0 90mA ☆
EC20-4TC 50mA 0 25mA
☆: Refer to the power consumption when the analog output channel port connects with the output. If the current
output port (0~20mA) is not used, the current can be decreased to 50mA.
4.7.6 Power Capacity Calculation In Expansion Connection
Before the PLC connects with an expansion module, users should calculate the current sum of each power supply of
the expansion module, and ensure the current sum is less than the output current provided by the corresponding
power supply of the main module to avoids the over loading of the main module power supply.
Example 1: the main module is EC20-2012BR, at 25°C ambient temperature, two EC20-0808ET, two EC20-4AD,
one EC20-4DA and one EC20-4TC shall be connected to, verifying the feasibility.
Checking computations as following:
Power circuit Current provided by the main module Actual consumed current conclusion
5V/GND 750mA (80×2+50×2+50+50) = 360mA Pass
24V/GND 580mA (0×2+0×2+0+0) =0 mA Pass
24V/COM 460mA (50×2+25×2+110+25) = 285mA Pass
It is obvious that the total power consumption of above expansion module is less than the permission load of the main
module, and the designing scheme is feasible.
Example 2: the main module is EC20-3232BT, at 25°C ambient temperature, three EC20-0808ET, two EC20-4AD,
one EC20-4DA shall be connected to, using 20mA output port and one EC20-4TC.
Checking computations as following:
Power circuit Current provided by the main module Actual consumed current conclusion
5V/GND 350mA (80×3+50×2+50+50)=440mA Un-passed
24V/GND 650mA (50×3+0×2+0+0)=150mA Pass
24V/COM 360mA (50×3+25×2+120+25)=345mA Pass
The sum of the 5V/GND power consumption of the expansion module is 440mA, it is larger than 350mA which is the
upper limit of 5V power supply; although the power consumption of 24V/GND and 24V/COM is less than the
permitted current of the main module, the designing scheme is unfeasible.
The solution to solve the insufficient of power supply capacity is to select the expansion module with self-carried
power source. It can power by itself, also its outputs of 5Vdc/GND, 24Vdc/GND, and 24Vdc/COM can power to the
expansion module added later.
4.8 Programming Tool Of User Program

ControlStar programming system provides the programming, up/down-loading, debugging and monitoring the user
program of the EC20 series PLC. The system also provides abundant help information, which can use ladder
diagram, instruction list and sequence functional diagram to program.

5.5 Interrupt Input Connection

For the system that responds promptly to the input signal, it can use the interrupt to process the signals. The input
ports of X0~X7 have interrupt function and corresponds to the eight external interrupt sources.
If the input port is used as interrupt process mode, the corresponding interrupt control identification should be
enabled when programming and the corresponding interrupt routine should be programmed (for details, refer to
Programming Reference Manual). When using interrupt, the digital filter function of corresponding X port will be
disabled and the filter time of the corresponding port is set as zero automatically.
z When used as high-speed count input or interrupt input, the corresponding input port should use shielding wire,
and the shielding wire should connect to earth line (same as PG port) to improve the interference rejection.
z Some counters require multiple X input ports to realize (for example, C242, C244, and C254 consist of 2, 3, 4
ports separately). After using this kind of counter, the used ports cannot be used as input of other counters and
the common input mode.
z The input port of the counter has the limitation for the maximum frequency. Beyond the limitation, it may result
the incorrect counting or normal operation of the system. You should use the input port reasonable and select
the suitable external sensors.
5.6 Input Signal Status Indication

The input status LEDs indicate the status of the user input port. When the input port is closed (“ON” state), the LED is
on; otherwise the LED is off. When the X0~X7 ports input high frequency signal, the flashing frequency of the LED
may be lower than that of the actual input signal, which is for the convenience of the user to observe the
characteristics of the port signals.

5.7 Analog Potentiometer And Application

The analog potentiometer provides external channel for users setting inner soft-device, which is within 0~255 and
read by user program.
When adjusting the setting value, users can use a small Philips screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer clockwise to
increase the setting value, and counter clockwise to decrease it. The maximum angle of rotation is 270°. Do not
energize excess.
5.8 Example Of Input Connection

Figure 5-7 shows an example: an EC20-3232BT connects with an EC20-0808ER to realize a simple position control.
The high-speed counting ports of X0 and X1 detect the position signal from the encoder. The high-speed ports of
X3~X7 connect to the travel switch which needs quickly response, other user signals can be distributed with input
ports.

Chapter 6 Output Characteristic
6.1 Output Port Application

1. The output type of EC20 series PLC can be divided into relay type and transistor type. Both types are greatly
different in the operation parameters. You should distinguish the difference before using them to avoid the damage by
the misuse.
2. To protect the contacts of the PLC output relay, when the drive DC circuit is inductive (such as relay coil), a
fly-wheel diode shall be connected to the user circuit; when the drive AC circuit is inductive, a RC surge absorber
shall parallel connect to the user circuit. In principle, the relay output port does not connect to the capacitive load. If
there is necessary to use, its surge current must be less than the maximum current in the specification list (see Table
6-1).
3. The transistor output port should be within the limitation of the allowable maximum current (see Table 6-1) to
ensure the thermal value of the output port is limited in the allowable range. If output currents of multiple transistors
are bigger than 100mA, they should be distributed equally in the output ports. Distributed adjacent will affect the heat
dissipation.
4. It is recommended the output points which are in the ON (conducting) state at one time shall not exceed 60% total
output points for a long time.

The status of the control output port is indicated by the output status LEDs. When the output port is closed (ON) state
(the status between Yn and COMn is closed), the LED is on; otherwise the LED is off. When the Y0 and Y1 port of
the transistor output PLC output high frequency signal, the flashing frequency of the LED may be lower than the
actual output signal frequency, which is convenient for user observation.

connect to the different signal voltage loop. Some output group (i.e. Y0-COM0) can connect to +24Vdc circuit and be
powered by 24V/COM of EC20 PLC. Some output group (i.e. Y1-COM1) can connect to +5Vdc low voltage signal
circuit. Other output groups (i.e. Y2~Y7) can connect to 220Vac signal circuit. That is to say, different output group
can work at different voltage level.

7.3 Expansion Module Addressing

EC20 series main module can automatically recognize the expansion module connected to, and be sequential
addressing automatically without user interference.
When the system is normal after power on, the module conducts auto addressing once. Hereafter the address of
each expansion module keeps unchanged during operation. Do not connect or disconnect any I/O expansion module
or special function modules when the PLC is operating; otherwise the PLC may be damaged and cannot operate
normally.
You should power on the expansion module with self-carried power source and the main module at the same time, or
power on the expansion module before the main module to ensure the reliable addressing of the expansion module.

24 Chapter 7 Expansion Module
7.3.1 I/O Point Addressing Number Principle
I/O point numbering uses octal numbering system, and the serial number is as following: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21…, without the figure 8 and 9.
The numbering of the input port of the main module and I/O expansion module is: X0, X1, X2, …X7, X10, X11…; the
output port is: Y0, Y1, Y2, …Y7, Y10, Y11…, and so on. Eight point numbers are a group. Insufficient section will be
vacant.
For example: EC20-2012BR module, the input port has 20 points, with serial number X0~X23. The port with serial
number X24~X24 will be vacant; the X port of the subsequent expansion module is numbering from X30. In the same
way, the output port has 12 points, the serial number is Y0~Y13, the port with serial number Y14~Y17 will be vacant
and the Y port of the subsequent expansion module is numbering from Y20.
According to the connection sequence to the main module, the numbering of X and Y ports of the I/O expansion
module is in the increasing order.
The example for the port logic numbering of the main module and the expansion module is as following:
EC20-2012BR 0808ER 0808ER 4AD 4AD 4DA 0808ER 4TC
X0 -X23 X30-X37 X40-X47 0 1 2 X50-X57 3

Y0 -Y13 Y20-Y27 Y30-Y37 Y40-Y47
7.3.2 Special Function Module Addressing Number Principle
The addressing number of the special function module is according to the unit of the module and independent of I/O
expansion module addressing. Its address numbering is as following: 1, 2, 3, …6, 7; the minimum address number is
0; the maximum is 7. Eight special function modules can be connected to at the same time, and the number of the I/O
expansion module added later will not affect the special function module addressing number. Take the module
addressing number as the distinguishing identification upon call on. The software read-writing the corresponding data
buffer memory (BFM) of the module with assigned address can call on the different channel inside the expansion
module. More details refer to programming reference manual.

COM1 port is suitable to connect with the equipment that have communication function, such as variable speed drive,
and uses Modbus protocol or RS485 port free protocol to control multiple equipment through network.
COM1 port is fixed by screws. You can use a twisted pair line to make the communication signal cable by yourself.
Note: you should not use RS232 port and RS485 port at the same time, and do not connect the cable to the ports that
are not used; otherwise the communication may be interrupted.

9.2 Connecting Ground Cable

The reliable connection of an earth line can strengthen the safety and improve the PLC immunity to electromagnetism.
When installing, connect PG port of the PLC power supply with the earthing object. It is recommended to use the
AWG12~16 connection cable, as short as possible, and use an independent earthing device. A common route with
the earthing line of other equipment (especially for the equipment with strong interference) should be avoided. As
shown in Figure 9-2:

9.3 Connecting Common Port

When wiring PLC system, there may be multiple cables connecting with the same port, such as +24V, COM, output
common port COMn (refer to the figures in Section 5.9 and 6.5). The proper wiring method is to use an extension
terminal bar with corresponding identification, which is convenient for wiring.
9.4 Cable Specification

When wiring PLC system, it is recommended to use the multi-strand copper wire and ready-made isolated terminals
to ensure the wiring quality. The recommended cross-sectional area and the model of the wire see Table 9-1.
Table 9-1 Recommended cable model of PLC

Chapter 10 First Operation And Maintenance 29
Chapter 10 First Operation And Maintenance
10.1 Notes For Application

All the notes of the manual should be read prior to using the product. Users should install, wire and check before
power on strictly according to the requirements mentioned in this book. Only everything is identified to be okay, can
the PLC be powered on.
10.2 Check Before Power On

1. Make sure the power supply input voltage is in complaint with the PLC rated input voltage, the power supply cable
connects with the right connectors. Note: 220Vac power ports are L and N; but 24Vdc power ports are ⊕ DC24V Θ,
and do not confuse with +24V and COM port.
2. Check to ensure that user signal input line connects with the ports of the PLC input line, and the signal character
complies with the input port electric criterion.
3. Check the output port. If the output circuit has different voltage level, the different level should distribute different
output groups to avoid short circuit and equipment damage.
4. Make sure the wiring and the specification of the earthing line are in compliant with the requirement.
5. Make sure irrelevant objects falls inside the PLC and the heat dissipation channel is free.
6. Make sure the insulating paper on the holder of the button lithium cell is removed.
7. Make sure the communication signal cable connects correctly if the host or HMI is needed.
8. After checking the items mentioned above one by one, then power on the PLC.
10.3 Startup
1. Switch on the PLC, the POWER indicator of the PLC should be on.
2. Startup the Controlstar software, download the compiled user program to the PLC;
3. After checking the download program, switch the operation switch to RUN position, the RUN indicator should be on;
if the ERR indicator is on, it indicates that the user program or the system has mistake, then remove the mistake
referring to the programming reference manual.
4. Then switch on the circuit breaker of the PLC external system to carry through system debugging.
10.4 RUN/STOP Switchover

The operation statuses of the main module include RUN and STOP.
RUN
When the main module operation status is ON, user program will be executed by the system, which is a scan period
including four tasks (executing the user program → communicating → housekeeping → refreshing I/O).
STOP
When the main module operation status is STOP, the system does not execute the user program, but still execute
other three tasks in a scan period (communicating → housekeeping → refreshing I/O).

30 Chapter 10 First Operation And Maintenance
10.4.1 How To Startup (STOP → RUN)
Reset mode
Status switch is in ON position, after resetting (including power on resetting), the system starts up automatically.
Note: if the “input point control mode” in the system configuration is enabled, the status of the appointed input point
should be ON. Otherwise the system cannot startup. The description about the “input point control mode” refers to the
fourth pieces in the following.
Manual mode
In the STOP state, toggle the status switch from OFF or TM position to ON position, the system stars up
automatically.
Communication command mode

In the STOP state, the system stars up automatically upon receiving the RUN communication command.
Input point control mode

In the STOP state, the main module starts up automatically when the system detects the status change from OFF →
ON of the appointed input port.
Note
When selecting input point control mode, you should enable the “input point control mode” in the system configuration and set
the status switch in ON position.
10.4.2 How To Stop (RUN → STOP)
Reset mode
The status switch is in OFF position, and the system will stop automatically after resetting (including system power on
reset).
Note
If the “input point control mode” is enabled in the system configuration, the state of the input point should be OFF; otherwise the
system will not stop.
Manual mode
In the RUN state, after the status switch is toggled from ON or TM position to OFF position, the system stops.
Communication command mode

In the RUN state, the system stops when receiving the STOP communication command.
Instruction control mode

In the RUN state, after the STOP instruction in the user program is executed effectively, the system stops.
Stop by mistake
When the system detects the serious mistake (such as the user program error, overtime operation), the system stops
executing the user program automatically.
10.5 Routine Maintenance

The routine maintenance should check the following:
z Ensure the clearance of the PLC operation environment, and avoid the impurity and the dust falling inside the
PLC.
z Keep the ventilation and heat dissipation of the PLC in good condition.
z All the wiring and the terminals are reliable fixed and in the normal state.

Chapter 10 First Operation And Maintenance 31
Observe the PLC BATT indicator and know the capacity state of the standby battery. When the BATT indicator
flashing, it indicates that the battery capacity is insufficient and the new button lithium cell should be replaced during a
month; when the BATT indicator is on, it indicates that the battery voltage is severe insufficient or battery lost, and a
new button lithium cell should be replaced as soon as possible. Only trained personnel can replace the cell; the
power must be disconnected; the shorter the replacement time the better; the replacement should be within one
minute to avoid losing the backup data and the real time clock data.

32 Chapter 11 Troubleshooting
Chapter 11 Troubleshooting
When the PLC works abnormally, first check the wiring of the power supply line and the status of the relative switches
and protective device; if PLC is power on, check whether the user ports are fastness, the position of the run control
switch is right; if all the conditions are normal but the PLC still does not work, you can analyze the problem according
to the PLC operation state and the I/O state LEDs in Table 11-1.
