5.3 Settings Related to Alarm Output
Set the following parameters when output-2 is specified for alarm
output.
5.3.1 Alarm Setpoints
Set the alarm setpoints of alarm-1 and alarm-2 in
[E03: SET
POINT1]
and
[E04: SET POINT2]
numerically.
• Setting range: A range of 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.3.2 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) and set each in
[E05: ALM1 ACTION]
(direction of alarm-1 action) or
[E06: ALM2 ACTION]
(direction of alarm-2 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.
5.3.3 Hysteresis
Set 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: A range of 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.3.4 Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay
Set 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 a delay time from the establishment of alarm
condition to alarm output; an alarm OFF delay is a delay time
from the establishment of return-to-normal condition to output.
• Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
• Setting resolution: 1 second (Note that about 0.2 second
will be added to set time to prevent erroneous operation.)
For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second,
alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for
more than 1 second 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 more than 2 seconds after the input value has
returned to normal from the alarm status.
5.3.5 Direction of Relay Action
Set the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal
condition and alarm-2 normal condition by selecting from
among NRM DEENERGIZED (de-energized under normal
condition) and NRM ENERGIZED (energized under normal
condition) in
[E15: RL1 ACTION]
and
[E16: RL2 ACTION]
and set them.

Description of alarm
actions
The alarm sounds if the
condition where the input value
is 80% or more of high-limit
alarm continues for more than 1
second. After the alarm sounds,
when the condition where
input value is less than 70%of
the high-limit alarm continues
for more than 2 seconds, the
status returns to normal
The alarm sounds if the
condition where the input value
is 15% or less of low-limit
alarm continues for more than
3 seconds. After the alarm
sounds, when the condition
where input value is more than
20% of the low-limit alarm
continues for more than 4
seconds, the status returns to
normal.
