Alarm output 
setting value 
lower/lower limit 
•  Set the alarm output setting values (upper/upper limit, 
upper/lower limit, lower/upper limit, lower/lower limit). 
•  The following setting values can also be set: upper/upper limit = 
upper/lower limit, lower/upper limit = lower/lower limit. However, 
an alarm output setting range outside error (error code: 500) 
occurs if the setting value is outside the setting range or the 
following relation expression is not established. 
Upper/upper limit 
 upper/lower limit   lower/upper limit

 To clear the error, turn ON the error reset request (Y8 to YF) of 
the corresponding channel. 
After this, set a correct value (value that will establish the above 
relation expression and is within the setting range), and then turn 
ON the operating condition setting request flag (Y1).

Count cycle 
change function 
selection 
•  Set whether the count cycle change function is valid or invalid. 
•  Set the count cycle in the "count cycle setting value" of the buffer 
memory. 
•  By setting "count cycle change function selection valid", the 
update timing of the "sampling pulse number" or "accumulating 
count value" of the buffer memory becomes the time set in the 
"count cycle setting value" of the buffer memory. 
•  When "count cycle change function selection invalid" is set, the 
count cycle is fixed at 1s. 
•  If the setting value is other than 0 or 1, a count cycle setting 
range outside error (error code: 600) occurs. To clear the error, 
turn ON the error reset request (Y8 to YF) of the corresponding 
channel. After this, set a correct value and then turn ON the 
operating condition setting request flag (Y1).

Count cycle 
setting value 
•  Set the count cycle of the "sampling pulse number" or 
"accumulating count value" of the buffer memory. 
•  If the setting value is other than the following values, a count 
cycle setting range outside error (error code: 600) occurs. To 
clear the error, turn ON the error reset request (Y8 to YF) of the 
corresponding channel. After this, set a value within the setting 
range and then turn ON the operating condition setting request 
flag (Y1).
