PLZ-4W Applied Operation 6-47
(2) External resistance control
Connecting an external resistance in the range of 0 to 10 k to the PLZ-4W pro-
duces an input current that is proportional or inversely proportional to the change.
Proportional control
The input current corresponding to the external resistance of 0 is 0 A; the input
current corresponding to the external resistance of 10 k is 100 % of the specified
range.
Inverse proportional control
The input current corresponding to the external resistance of 10 k is 0 A; the input
current corresponding to the external resistance of 0 is 100 % of the specified
range.
Connected pins: J1-1 (signal), J1-3 (common)
