(7) Sensor drift (for 2-input model only)
When the difference between Sensor1 and Sensor2
temperatures exceeds the threshold, a Sensor Drift
alarm is output. When the temperature at the same
position is measured by two sensors, this alarm
indicates that there is a problem with either Sensor1
or Sensor2.
Set the threshold using the following parameters.

Remarks
L30:DRFT
TH UNIT
Sets a unit
of threshold.
AL.25
Sensor Drift
Set this
parameter
first.
L31:DRFT
THLD
Threshold
Set this
parameter
after unit
setting.
NOTE
If the threshold (L31:DRFT THLD setting value)
is “0.0”, self-checking is skipped. Sensor1 and
Sensor2 must be the sensors to measure the
same physical quantity.
(8) Temperature cycle diagnostics
This function displays the number of temperature
fluctuations that may cause the sensor to fail. This
function is only enabled when the Sensor Type is
set to TC or RTD. It indicates how many times the
temperature alternately hits (or crosses) the upper
and lower limits. The number of times, that exceeds
the upper temperature threshold (L45:T CY UP
VAL) and that exceeds the lower temperature
threshold (L44:T CY LO VAL) (or when the value
exceeds the upper temperature threshold after
exceeding the lower temperature threshold) is
counted. If this count (L40:T CY S1 CNT, L41:T
CY S2 CNT display values) exceeds the alarm
judgment threshold, a temperature cycle alarm
(AL.26 S1 Temp Cycle, AL.27 S2 Temp Cycle) is
output.
Check the current settings and state using the
following parameters.
Parameter
Description
Remarks
L43:T CY VAL
UNT
Sets the upper/
lower threshold
temperature
unit.
The unit to be used
for L44 and L45
setting.
L44:T CY LO
VAL
Sets the lower
temperature
threshold.
L45:T CY UP
VAL
Sets the upper
temperature
threshold.
L46:T CY AL TH Sets an alarm
judgment
threshold.
If it is set to “0”, self-
checking is skipped.
L40:T CY S1
CNT
Displays the
Sensor1 round
trip count.
If this count exceeds
the L46 set value,
an “AL.26 S1 Temp
Cycle” alarm is
output.
L41:T CY S2
CNT
Displays the
Sensor2 round
trip count.
For the 2-input
model only
If this count exceeds
the L46 set value,
an “AL.27 S2 Temp
Cycle” alarm is
output.
L42:RST T CY
CNT
Resets the
round trip
count.
The count can be
reset for Sensor1
and Sensor2
separately.
NOTE
If the alarm judgment threshold is 0, the
temperature cycle check is skipped.
