General SF630-MCW
Specifications FA-M3 Programming Tool WideField3 R4

General
The SF630-MCW FA-M3 Programming Tool WideField3
for the FA-M3 sequence CPU modules allows a user to
create and debug programs, as well as manage
applications.
With even better support for program reuse and the new
script language, it dramatically increases programming
efficiency.
Also, the use of the Live Logic Analyzer function for high-
speed applications debugging**1 and FA-M3 Simulation
Software Virtual-M3**2 can slash the debugging time.

General SF662-MCW
ToolBox for Positioning Modules R5
Specifications (for F3NC32/34)

General
ToolBox for Positioning Module is a Window-based
software tool for configuring positioning modules
(F3NC32-0N and F3NC34-0N) to perform positioning
operations. It can be used to set up registered parameters,
action pattern data and position data for positioning
modules, as well as perform action test and monitoring.
By providing an integrated development environment that
features ease of use, reusability and visibility, it simplifies
module setup and debugging, and thus dramatically
improves development efficiency.
* The FA-M3 ToolBox for Positioning Modules software is released as
a unified multi-lingual product starting from revision R4.01. For
details on older versions, refer to the general specification (GS) for
SF662–ECW.

Features - ToolBox and the Ladder Programming Tool WideField2

ToolBox for Positioning Modules offers the following or WideField3 can be run concurrently to edit data.
features. With WideField2 R2 or later version, concurrent
communication with FA-M3 is also supported.
 Integrated Development Environment
- By installing ToolBox for Positioning Modules (SF662-
MCW) and ToolBox for Temperature Control and
Monitoring Modules (SF661-MCW) on the same PC,
temperature control and PID modules, temperate
monitoring modules and positioning modules (with
positioning pulse output) can be conveniently
managed within the same project.
What's more, ToolBox support for other FA-M3
advanced I/O modules can be added when available.
ToolBox ToolBox
for Temperature Control for Positioning
And Monitoring Modules Modules
 Ease of Use and Reusability
- Action pattern data and position data are created and
managed separately. A user can therefore create
action pattern during design, and add position data in
the field using the teach function, or even reuse
pattern data for different units of the same equipment,
thus dramatically improving development efficiency.

- Labels and comments can be added to individual
action pattern data or position data records.
- The input completion function speeds up data input by
presenting candidates for selection based on existing
data during input of action pattern data or position data.
This allows a user to create action pattern data or
perform action test without prior knowledge of existing
action pattern data or position data.

- When performing an action test using jog operations,

pressing and holding the SHIFT key moves multiple
axes concurrently. Releasing the SHIFT key stops all
axes.

- Action pattern data and position data can be created

at the same time or separately to suit your preference.
- Position data can be simply dragged and dropped from
the position data table to the action pattern data table.

 Visibility
- The Window List bar displays a list of open windows to
allow quick access to hidden windows.

- Input/output relays of FA-M3 advanced function I/O

modules can be displayed with help information,
monitored and even turned on or turned off.

- Cells of setup data are appropriately color-coded on

edit windows of registered parameters, action pattern
data and position data – red for error data, pink for
modified but unconfirmed data, yellow for modified and
confirmed value and gray for cells that do not require
input.

- The Help function in ToolBox for Positioning Module

can be used to call up relevant help information in the
user manual for positioning modules.

Function Overview
ToolBox for Positioning Modules (SF662-MCW) is a Windows software tool for configuring positioning modules (F3NC32-0N，
F3NC34-0N). It provides an environment for a user to set up registered parameters, action pattern data and position data of
positioning modules, as well as perform action test and monitoring. The PC and the FA-M3 can be connected using USB, RS-
232C, Ethernet or FL-net.
A user can set up action pattern data and position data for a positioning module using the ToolBox for Positioning Modules
software and then executes positioning movements using the pre-stored data.
Positioning can be initiated simply by specifying an action pattern number from the CPU module. Up to four action patterns
can be executed concurrently.

General SF663-MCW
ToolBox for Positioning Modules R2
Specifications (for F3YP22/24/28)

General
ToolBox for Positioning Module (for F3YP22/24/28) is a
Window-based software tool for configuring positioning
modules (F3YP22-0P, F3YP24-0P and F3YP28-0P) to
perform positioning operations. It can be used to set up
registered parameters, position data record and counter
for positioning modules, as well as perform action test and
monitoring.
By providing an integrated development environment that
features ease of use, reusability and visibility, it simplifies
module setup and debugging, and thus dramatically

General SF681-MDW
Specifications FA-M3 Simulation Software Virtual-M3 R1

General
FA-M3 Simulation Software Virtual-M3 allows you to
simulate how an FA-M3 sequence CPU module
operates on a PC to debug programs without any
physical machine.
This software provides five primary functions that can
significantly reduce the debugging time: the step
operation function, Live Logic Analyzer, I/O module
simulation function, link function with a display, and
One-touch Playback function.

Features
 Appearance
 System Configuration
- You can perform component definitions of I/O
modules provided by FA-M3.
- You can download, upload, and monitor programs,
as well as edit them online, with Virtual-M3
connected to FA-M3 Programming Tool WideField3*.
 Basic Operations
- Virtual-M3 provides functions such as program
execution, input/output refreshing, the PC link
service, and the tool service, which are basic

- As with the sequence CPU modules, it can handle
bits; word, long-word, and double-long-word
integers; single-precision and double-precision
floating point numbers; and strings.
- It allows you to change the settings for the constant
scan, scan time and 1/n speed setting.
- It can display the statuses of communication ports,
the list of unsupported instructions, and the current
scan time.
 Step Operation
- You can specify the starting position of a step
operation by using a combination of a line number of
a block and a device status.
- You can skip some steps in the middle during step
operation.
Virtual-M3 Internal Configuration - You can choose to use either step-through
execution per circuit or step-through execution per
instruction, to suit your situations.
- You can go back to a given step position to perform
step-through execution again. The device status
also returns to the pre-execution value.
- Step-through execution is available even in
subroutines, macros, and the sensor control block.

 Linking with a Display
- You can use the PC link function of Virtual-M3 to link
it with a display or SCADA system.
- You can debug your programs together with the
display and programs on the SCADA system.
 One-touch Playback
- You can store device data in the sequence CPU
module in an SD card to reproduce the data on
Virtual-M3.
- The function can reproduce even an alarm status in
the sequence CPU module, which is useful in
debugging equipment or analyzing defects.
