Output Settings
The Z500 can transmit data to an external device in three formats; analog, terminal, and RS-232C. In
the example provided below, the procedure for setting the output contents to the external device is
explained. The output data and their transmission methods are as follows:
Analog
Measured values or profile data are converted to analog values and are output.
Setting items vary depending on the outputting data.
Outputting Measurement Values
Use the procedure explained below to set the measurement values correspond-
ing to the upper limit (20 mA/5 V) and lower limit (4 mA/-5 V) for analog output.
This setting enables output to be scaled (e.g., 1 mm corresponds to 1 mA) as
required. Set both the analog output and measurement values so that the upper
limit is greater than the lower limit.
The asterisk (*) indicates the default setting.
