5.4.9 BFM #26: Upper/lower limit error status
Initial value: H0000
Numeric data type: Hexadecimal (H)
If channel data (BFM #10 to #13) is out of the range set by the lower limit error data (BFM #71 to #74) and the
upper limit error data (BFM #81 to #84), the following operation will be performed:
• If "channel data < lower limit error set value":
The lower limit error bit will be turned on.
• If "channel data > upper limit error set value":
The upper limit error bit will be turned on.
→ For a detailed description of upper/lower limit error status data resetting, refer to Subsection
5.4.18.
1. Assignment of each bit of BFM #26
The upper and lower limit error values of each channel are assigned as shown in the following table:
2. Cautions regarding use of upper/lower limit error status data
• To use the upper/lower limit error status data, be sure to turn on the upper/lower limit detection function (b1
of BFM #22).
• Perform one of the following operations to turn off the previously turned on bit:
- Turn the power off and on.
- Turn on b0 or b1 of BFM #99 to reset the upper/lower limit error status.
- Write "H0000" in BFM #26 as the upper/lower limit error status data.
• Even if an error is detected, channel data (BFM #10 to #13) will continuously be updated.
3. Upper/lower limit error status data automatic transfer function (b5 of BFM #22)
If the upper/lower limit error status data automatic transfer-to data register is specified in BFM #126, the data
in BFM #26 can be transferred to the specified data register.
Only when the upper/lower error is detected, data will be automatically transferred from 4AD to the PLC. For
this reason, the PLC does not need the program for reading data, and the scanning time of the PLC can be
shortened.
