Input signal error detection extension function

Point3Point3Point3 Easily measure part thicknesses!

This function subtracts the difference conversion reference value from the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the acquired value in the buffer memory.

When difference conversion starts, this module outputs the A/D conversion value at the start point as the difference conversion reference value, and stores the value obtained by subtracting the difference conversion reference value from the A/D conversion value as the scaling value. After that, the increment or decrement from the difference conversion reference value is stored in the scaling value.

Difference conversion function

Point4Point4Point4 Quickly calculate and record flow amount!

This function performs the A/D conversion of analog input value (voltage or current) from a flow meter and others, and integrates the scaling value (digital operation value) by every integration cycle. In this function, integral processing is performed regarding the scaling value (digital operation value) as the instantaneous flow amount.

Point1 Item Description

A/D conversion enable/disable function

Sets whether to enable or disable A/D conversion for each channel.Disabling the A/D conversion for unused channels reduces the conversion cycles.

A/D conversionmethod

Input signal error detection extension function

The detection method of the input signal error detection function can be extended. Use this function to detect the input signal error only in the lower limit or upper limit, or to execute the disconnection detection.

Scaling functionThe A/D converter module scale-converts the output digital value to the set range of the scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value. This omits the programming of the scale conversion.

Shift functionThe A/D converter module adds the set shifting amount to conversion value to the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores in the buffer memory. Fine adjustment can be performed easily when the system starts.

Digital clipping functionWhen the input voltage or current exceeds the input range, the maximum value of the scaling value (digital operation value) can be set to 20000, and the minimum value can be set to 0 or -20000.

Logging functionThis function logs the digital output value or scaling value (digital operation value). The data of 10000 points can be logged for each channel.

Range switching function

The input range to use can be selected from the following ranges:• Factory default range (4 to 20mA, 0 to 20mA, 1 to 5V, 0 to 5V, -10 to 10V, 0 to 10V)• User range (User range setting)Extended mode range (4 to 20mA (Extended mode), 1 to 5V (Extended mode))

Sampling processing

Timeaverage

The A/D converter module executes the A/D conversion of the analog input value sequentially and stores the digital output value to the buffer memory.

Offset/gain setting function This function compensates for errors in digital output values.

The A/D converter module executes the A/D conversion for set time, and stores the average of the total value excluding the maximum and theminimum values to the buffer memory. The number of processing time within the setting time changes depending on the number of channelsused (the number of channels set to A/D conversion enabled).

Countaverage

Averagingprocessing

The A/D converter module executes the A/D conversion for set time, and stores the average of the total value excluding the maximumand the minimum values to the buffer memory. Time for the count average value stored in the buffer memory changes depending on theused channel numbers (the number of channels specified to A/D conversion enable).

Movingaverage

The A/D converter module averages digital output values of set number of times which are measured every sampling cycle, and stores them in the buffer memory.

Conversion speed switch function The conversion speed can be selected from 20μs, 80μs or 1ms.

Input range extended mode function

The input range can be extended. By combining this function with the input signal error detection function, simple disconnection detection can be executed.

Maximum value/minimum value hold function

The A/D converter module stores the maximum and minimum values of the scaling values (digital operation values) for each channel to the buffer memory.

Input signal error detection function This function detects the analog input value which exceeds the setting range.

Warning output function (process alarm)

This function outputs alarm when a scaling value (digital operation value) is in the range set in advance.

Difference conversion functionThis function subtracts the difference conversion reference value from the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the acquired value in the buffer memory.

Flow amount integration function

This function performs the A/D conversion of analog input value (voltage or current) from a source such as a flow meter and integrates the scaling value (digital operation value).

Error log function The function stores up to latest 16 recodes of errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module to the buffer memory.

Module error collection function This function collects errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module and stores to the CPU module or the head module.

Error clear function Clearing the error from the system monitor at error occurrence is possible.

Saving and restoring offset/gain values The offset/gain value of the user range setting can be saved or restored.

···New function (New functions above are compatible with the A/D converter module whose first five serial number digits are 13041 or later.)
