13.6.4  Detecting disconnection wire 
 
In case that Input voltage(DC 1~5V) or Input current (DC 4~20 mA) is chosen with analog input range, 
the analog input module has diagnostic function by checking disconnection and showing.   
If the module shows disconnection, that means the parts of connections in the wiring connection are 
faulty. If so, check and take action. 
 
(1) Detection conditions 
When input signal range of 4~20mA and 1~5V is used, disconnection of input circuit can be 
detected. The detection conditions of each input signal range are as below. 
Input signal range  Voltage/Current recognized as a disconnection 
4 ~ 20  ㎃  0.8  ㎃  or less 
1 ~ 5 V  0.2 V or less 
 
(2) When between used wiring and module is disconnected, the LED will be turned on/off 1s intervals 
and make an error code. 
 
(3) Each channel can detect disconnection. However, Disconnection is only displayed for specified 
operation channel. The LED can commonly use the channel from 0 to 3. If one or more channel is 
disconnected, LED will be turned on/off.

(4) In case of disconnection, disconnection flag of relevant channel will turn on and In case of 
  connection, disconnection flag of relevant channel will turn off.

※ The 'y' is a slot number equipped with a module. 
 
  (5) In case of disconnection, the input value displays the lowest value among each input range.
