8.3.2 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 ac-
tion).
● To activate alarm status when input signal ⱖ alarm setpoint,
select HIGH ALM.
● To activate alarm status when input signal ⱕ alarm setpoint,
select LOW ALM.
8.3.3 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 re-
leased 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 setpoint + hysteresis).
● Setting range: A range of 0 to 100% of input range
● Setting resolution: 0.1%
8.3.4 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 out-
put.
● 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 sec-
ond 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.
8.3.5 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 DE-
ENERGIZED (de-energized under normal condition) and NRM
ENERGIZED (energized under normal condition) in E15: RL1
ACTION and E16: RL2 ACTION and set them.
9. DESCRIPTION OF ALARM ACTIONS
