4. Average 
Digital values are averaged. The number by which the sum of several digital values is divided is 
between 1 and 100. The sampled values are taken as a queue, and the length of the queue is N. 
Each time a new sampled value is put at the end of the queue, an original value at the start of the 
queue is removed. The N values are averaged so that the periodic noise is suppressed. 
5. Disconnection detection 
If a channel is enabled, the module will check whether a sensor is disconnected. If an input circuit 
is an open circuit, the module will give an alarm. Please refer to description below for more 
information. 
6. Channel detection
 
If an input signal exceeds a range of inputs which can be received by hardware, an error 
message appears. Please refer to section 5.2.1 for more information.
