3.2 Function List 
Table 3.3 lists the functions of the A/D converter modules. 
 
Table 3.3 Function list 
Item Function Reference section
A/D conversion 
enable/disable setting 
(1)    Specifies whether to enable or disable the A/D conversion for each 
channel. 
(2)    The conversion speed is 10ms regardless of the number of conversion 
enabled channels. 
Section 3.4.2 
A/D conversion method 
(1)  Sampling processing 
The A/D conversion for analog input values is performed successively for 
each channel, and the digital output value is output upon each conversion. 
(2)  Averaging processing 
(a)  Time averaging 
A/D conversion is averaged in terms of time on a channel basis and a 
digital average value is output. 
(b)  Count averaging 
A/D conversion is averaged in terms of count on a channel basis and a 
digital average value is output. 
(c)  Move averaging 
The specified number of digital output values measured per sampling time 
are averaged. 
(3)    Primary delay filter 
A digital output value is smoothed according to the preset time constant. 
Section 3.2.1 
Maximum and 
minimum values hold 
function 
(1)    The maximum and minimum values of the digital output values are 
retained in the module.  Section 3.2.2 
Input signal error 
detection function 
(1)    Voltage/current input that exceeds the input signal error detection upper 
limit value or falls below the input signal error detection lower limit value is 
detected. 
Section 3.2.3 
Warning output function 
(1)  Process alarm 
A warning is output if a digital output value exceeds the process alarm 
upper upper limit value or falls below the process alarm lower lower limit 
value. 
(2)  Rate alarm 
A warning is output if the variation rate of a digital output value is so high 
that the rate alarm upper limit value is exceeded, or is so low that the rate 
alarm lower limit value is exceeded. 
Section 3.2.4 
A/D conversion starting 
time setting function 
(Q62AD-DGH only) 
(1)    Setting the A/D conversion starting time allows A/D conversion to be 
started at the point when the output of the 2-wire transmitter stabilizes.  Section 3.2.5 
Supply power ON/OFF 
function 
(Q62AD-DGH only) 
(1)    The power supply to the 2-wire transmitter can be switched ON/OFF 
channel by channel. 
(2)    Power is supplied to the channel set for "Conversion enable" in the A/D 
conversion enable/disable setting (buffer memory address 0: Un\G0). 
Section 3.4.2 
Online module change  (1)    The module can be changed without the system being stopped.
