DS 4 – Switch On Weight, Limit Value 1
Switch on and switch off weights can be defined separately for each limit value. In
this way, a minimum value monitor and a maximum value monitor can be realized
by hysteresis.
A maximum value monitor is realized with the following specification:
Switch on value > Switch off value
A minimum value monitor is realized with the following specification:
Switch on value < Switch off value
The figure below illustrates the function of limit values 1 and 2.
