If no control points are being auto
-
tuned, and then auto
-
tuning begins for con-
trol point 3, the contents of the corresponding word in the PC will change as

Ready Flag
This flag changes from 0 to 1 when the E5ZE power is
turned ON and DeviceNet communications are
enabled.
After checking that this flag is ON, execute the pro-
gram to start using I/O data.
Outside Temperature Dis-
play Range Flag
This flag changes from 0 to 1 if the process value
exceeds 3200.0

Output Area Error Flag (See
note 1.)
This flag changes from 0 to 1 if the output data from
the Master is not reflected in the E5ZE due to the
operating mode.
Temperature Control Internal
Transmission Error Flag (See
note 1.)
This flag changes from 0 to 1 if the remote I/O func-
tion has not been processed properly in the E5ZE.
Temperature Controller Error
Flag
This flag changes from 0 to 1 if there is an error in the
Temperature Controller, such as an AD converter
error or memory error.
Input Error Flag
This flag changes from 0 to 1 if the temperature sen-
sor is disconnected or short
-
circuited.
Process Value Overflow Flag This flag changes from 0 to 1 if the process value is
more than the maximum value of the setting range.
