5.  SETTING PARAMETERS

Set the parameters using a PC (VJ77 PC-based Parameters 

Setting Tool).  Refer to the list of parameters in this manual and 

the user’s manual for VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting Tool 

(IM 77J01J77-01E).

5.1  Settings Related to Input

5.1.1  Input Type 

  Select the input type from among VOLTS (DC voltage) and 

CURRENT (DC current) in 

[D12: INP TYPE]

5.1.2  Input Range 

Set the 0% value of input range in 

[D25: INPUT1 L_RNG]

 

and the 100% value of input range in 

[D26: INPUT1 H_RNG]

 

numerically within the specified range.

5.1.3  Software Filter

  Set the software filter in 

[D57: S/W FILTER]

.

  OFF, LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH (default value: OFF)

  When LOW, MIDDLE, or HIGH is selected, a first-order filter 

equivalent to 100 ms, 300 ms, or 1 s is inserted in the input.

5.1.4 

External Input Resistance Correction

  For current input, set the external resistance to 

[D13: IN 

RESIST]

. There is a difference between this value and the 

actual external resistance. If this difference causes an error, 

the input can be corrected.

  To perform correction, wire as shown in the figure below, apply 

a stable input equivalent to 100%, and set 

[P40:RESISTOR 

ADJ]

 to EXECUTE.

  If you need perform correction again such as when the 

external resistance is changed, reset the correct value. To do 

so, set 

[P40: RESISTOR ADJ]

 to RESET.

5.2  Settings Related to Alarm Output 

5.2.1  Alarm Setpoint 

  Set the alarm setpoints of alarm 1 and alarm 2 in 

[E03: SET 

POINT1]

 and 

[E04: SET POINT2]

 numerically. 

 •

Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range 

 •

Setting resolution: 0.1% 

5.2.2  Direction of Alarm Action 

  Select the direction of alarm-1 action and that of alarm-2 

action from among HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) and LOW 

ALM (low-limit alarm) in 

[E05: ALM1 ACTION]

 and 

[E06: 

ALM2 ACTION]

 •

To activate alarm status when input signal ≥ alarm setpoint, 

select HIGH ALM. 

 •

To activate alarm status when input signal ≤ alarm setpoint, 

select LOW ALM. 

5.2.3  Hysteresis 

  Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 hysteresis in 

[E09: 

HYSTERESIS1]

 and 

[E10: HYSTERESIS2]

.  Hysteresis is a 

value added to the alarm setpoint in order for an alarm status 

to be released (to normal) after the alarm status has been 

activated. The alarm status will be released in the following 

conditions, depending on the direction of alarm action. 

  *  When HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released 

when input signal < (alarm setpoint - hysteresis). 

  *  When LOW ALM (low-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released 

when input signal > (alarm se hysteresis). 

 •

Setting range: 0 to 100% of input range 

 •

Setting resolution: 0.1% 

5.2.4  Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay 

  Set the alarm-1 and alarm-2 ON delays in 

[E11: ON DELAY1]

 

and 

[E12: ON DELAY2]

 and then alarm-1 and alarm-2 OFF 

delays in 

[E13: OFF DELAY1]

 and 

[E14: OFF DELAY2]

  An alarm ON delay is the condition monitoring time from the 

establishment of alarm conditions to its output; an alarm OFF 

delay is the condition monitoring time from the establishment 

of return-to-normal conditions to its output. 

 •

Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds 

 •

Setting resolution: 1 second (However, about 0.2 second is 

to be added to the set time to prevent wrong operation.) 

  For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second, 

alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for 1 

second or more after the input value exceeds the alarm 

setpoint. Further, when an alarm OFF delay is set to 2 

seconds, alarm output is released if normal condition 

continues for 2 seconds or more after the input value has 

returned to normal from the alarm status.

5.2.5  Direction of Relay Action 

  Select the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal 

condition and alarm-2 normal condition from among NRM DE-

ENERGIZED (de-energized under normal condition) and NRM 

ENERGIZED (energized under normal condition) in 

[E15: RL1 

ACTION]

 and 

[E16: RL2 ACTION]

Description of 

alarm actions

The alarm is output if the 

condition where the input 

value is 80% or more of 

high-limit alarm continues 

for 1 second or more.

After the alarm is output, 

when the condition where 

the input value is less than 

70% of high-limit alarm 

continues for 2 seconds or 

more, the status returns to 

normal.

The alarm is output if the 

condition where the input 

value is 15% or less of low-

limit alarm continues for 3 

seconds or more.

After the alarm is output, 

when the condition where 

the input value is more 

than 20% of low-limit alarm 

continues for 4 seconds or 

more, the status returns to 

normal.
