Chapter 2: Product Summary
This counter counts pulses coming from encoder (A/B quadrature pulse or UP/ DOWN
individual pulse) and sends a signal to PC/ PLC if the count matches with the preset data. The
method specified in the RS-232C allows this counter to send counts to PC/ PLC and set the
counter by communications with PLC/ PC. For the counter with BCD output, counts can be
sent to PC/ PLC by BCD coding.

Chapter 3: Functions and Terminology
Terms on output are defined as follows in this operation manual.
Output signals
Output signals are signals from CEU5 to PLC/ PC: preset output, Cylinder stop output and BCD
output.
Preset output This is the output signal sent to PLC/ PC when counts are matched with the
set values. Upper and lower limits can be set in preset output. Output form
can be selected from three types.
Cylinder stop This is the output signal sent to PLC/ PC when pulses coming from encoder
output do not change for a certain time. This output signal provides better timing
for reading preset output and outputs sent to PLC/ PC.
BCD output This is the output signal of a value indicated on CEU 5 sent to PLC/ PC for
64ms.
Preset output forms
Preset output forms are three types of output in preset output: compare, 1-shot and hold. Refer to
“Preset output forms list” in a following page for details.
Output method
Preset output can be selected from two methods: normal output and binary output. No. 1 through
No. 31 can be stored in preset setting. However, No. 21 through No. 31 can be used only for
binary output.

CEU5 has the following features.
(1) Multiplication function
All the pulses are multiplied by four times multiplier in hardware at input of A/B quadrature while it
is multiplied by two times multiplier or no multiplier in software. This will provide higher
resolution of measurement and improve the accuracy of the origin. The following figure
shows the relation between count by four times multiplier and no multiplier.

＊ Multiplier ×1 : Use quadrature input signals for a bi-directional count.

＊ Multiplier ×4 : Use quadrature input signals to count on leading and trailing edges of "A"
and "B" for a bi-directional count.

(2) Switching of A/B quadrature input and UP/ DOWN individual pulse input
Accommodate to encoders with A/B quadrature output and UP/ DOWN individual pulse output.

(3) Pre-scale function

Function for the user to optionally set the number indicated for one count.

(4) Setting of tolerances for preset values

Upper and lower limits can individually set to preset values. Each set value can be either positive
or negative. For example, tolerances of + 0.04 and + 0.01 can be inputted as in the tolerance
indications in drawings.

(5) Bank functions (4 channels)

Preset output can be sent from 5 points simultaneously. Preset values of 5 points are
grouped into one frame (bank) and there are four banks from 1 to 4. A maximum of 20 types
of work can be classified by switching these banks. Refer to “Correspondence of bank and
bank terminals at switching” in a following page.

(6) Binary output (31 points)

Preset output can be sent from 31 points without bank switching by sending signals from five
output terminals in binary output method (If output signals are overlapped, a signal of smaller
preset No. is sent. Output form is compare output only).

－ ６ －
(7) Cylinder stop output
Cylinder stop output is a signal sent out from S. STOP terminal when
pulse signals from encoder do not change for a certain period of time. This output signal
provides better timing for reading preset output and outputs sent to PLC/ PC.

(8) Hold function (for RS-232C communication or BCD output)

The display on the counter is held during a hold signal is coming in. With RS-232C
communication or BCD output, the data indicated is sent out. Even if reading process of the
PLC is delayed, the count when the hold signal is inputted can be taken in (The display is
held, however, counting is continued inside. At this time, preset output is sent out according
to the count inside with or without hold signal).

(9) Backing up of counts (changeable between hold and non-hold)

Back up counts after power interruptions. This function can be selected either ON or OFF.

(10) RS-232C communication function

Count output and setting of each function can be done by PLC (with RS-232C functions) or PC in
serial transmission of the RS-232C specifications.

(11) BCD output function (equipped only with CEU5*B-* type)

Send out counts by BCD coding. This function also allows taking in counts by PLC or PC and
connecting to external large indicator.

“When using encoders from other manufacturers”

When using encoders from other manufacturers, check if the encoders are within the
specification range of CEU5 before use (Refer to the previous page and this page).
Performance test is given to SMC Monosashi-kun (Scale reading cylinders) and CEU5
using a 23 meter long exclusive extension cable. Wiring length depends on the specifications
of the encoder and cable given by each manufacturer and it should be checked before use.
CEU5 has a power supply for encoder (12VDC, 60 mA). If an encoder requires a power
other than 12VDC or large current consumption, use a separate power supply.

7-3-1. Handling data range
Data range of the counter inside is between-7,999,999 to + 7,999,999. If a value in the
counter is out of the range, it displays “FFFFFF” and stops counting (For over + 8,000,000,
it displays “FFFFFF” and displays“FFFFFF” for below-8,000,000. “-FFFFFF” is displayed
with the decimal point already set).
Outputs in counter mode are six digits between -999,999 to + 999,999. Display overflow is
disregarded and lower six digits are displayed.

7-3-2. Reset and hold input

[ Reset input ]
By using reset input from outside, count value can be reset as initial value. Initial value is
determined by "Indication Offset". If the value of "Indication Offset" is 0, it will be cleared as
0 by reset input.
[ Hold function (for RS-232C communication or BCD output) ]
The display on the counter is held during a hold signal is coming in. With RS-232C
communication or BCD output, the data indicated is sent out. Even if reading process of the
PLC is delayed, the count when the hold signal is inputted can be taken in.
The display is held, however, counting is continued inside. At this time, preset output is sent
out according to the count inside with or without hold signal.

7-3-3. Correspondence of banks and bank terminals at switching

Preset data are represented by combinations of output signals from OUT 1 to 5. When
incoming pulses do not match with any preset numbers, all the outputs (OUT 1 to 5) are
turned OFF. Reading OK signal is cylinder stop output. Binary output is only active when
a cylinder is at stop. Reading outputs by PLC/ PC shall be done only when cylinder stop
output is ON. Preset values can be stored up to 31 points. However, No. 21 to 31 are
only active in binary output and their preset output form is fixed at "COMPARE" mode.

7-3-5. Output
(1) Output form can be set to preset data No. 1 through 31 (However, No. 21 to 31 are
only active in binary output and their preset output form is "COMPARE" only).
(2) In normal output, indication in LCD corresponding to “OUT 1 to 5” changes from “_” to
“□” in preset output.
(3) With upper or lower limit, if the preset data including lower limit (point A in the next
page) or upper limit (point B in the next page) exceeds -999999 or + 999999, point A or
B will be compulsorily corrected to the range of -999999 to + 999999.
(4) Refer to “Output timing chart” in the following page for time of output delay.

Note 8: Reset in RS-232C communication

When a reset command is received, a response is sent out from CEU5. CEU5 is ready
for
counting in two seconds after sending the response. Operation to start counting after
reset shall be done in two seconds or more after receiving the response.
Note 9: Power ON reset (at turning ON the power)
It takes approximately 1 second for the DC power to stabilize from turning ON. Then
trouble check processing such as memory check is done and CEU5 is ready for counting
in approximately 2.5 seconds from turning ON the power. Operation to start counting
shall be done in three seconds or more after turning ON the power.
Note 10: Delay of binary output
Binary output is delayed for 30 ms or less. Reading of binary output shall be done only
when cylinder stop output is ON.

About "Cylinder stop output"
There are cases where cylinder stop output is output when cylinder stops temporarily due to
knocking and cylinder operates at extremely low speed. In such cases, provide longer time to
output.

！ Caution
When utilizing cylinder stop output for safety related parts, be sure to use it with other
sensor output.

(2) Communication procedure and format
Initiative of the sequence is on the host computer side. The sequence always starts with
the host computer side and the counter responds to it. The host computer side has the
initial transmission right, and the counter always give a response back to the host
computer when a command is transmitted from the host computer to the counter.
However, the counter does not respond when counter unit No. specified is different or
when parity error or check sum error occurs.

Command Block
# Unit No. Command code Command data Check sum CR

Response Block
# Unit No. Command code Response data Status Check sum CR

When data out of the setting range is coming in at setting by communication, setting is not
conducted, instead response block (EE command) containing error code is sent back.
The values set in setting mode by communication are stored in E2ROM. Since E2ROM
has the life of 1,000,000 times, avoid unintentional continuous storing of the set values.
The values set in counter mode are not stored in E2ROM.

(3) Check sum procedure

Operation range : from # to the last letter of command data
Operation procedure : Add all ASCII code in operation range and take a lower 1 byte.
Add 30H to the 1 byte.
Example: # 0 0 V R
23H 30H 30H 56H 52H
23H + 30H + 30H + 56H + 52H = 12BH
Take 2B and add 30H to each part of the 1 byte. Check sums are 32H and 3BH.
Therefore, command block will be:
# 0 0 V R 2 ; [CR]
23H 30H 30H 56H 52H 32H 3BH 0DH

Note: ASCII code and check sum data

Check sum data are not the letter data of the ASCII code, but correspondence will

The above output is displayed in the digit of 10-2 to 103 when the counter is connected to SMC
CEP1 series (decimal point setting is ***. **). When it’s connected to CE1 series (point
setting is *****.*), output is displayed in the digit of 10-1 to 104 and the first place of decimal
point is displayed in pin no., 1 to 4 (signal D0 to D3).
BCD output sending out is the same as a value shown in LCD. That is, output includes
pre-scale and offset conditions (“FFFFFF” is outputted for counter IC overflow).
Polarity symbols (+/-) of Pin number 13 are assigned as shown below.
Low level (0): +/ High level (1): -
