8 Absolute-value 
upper-limit 
alarm
The alarm output is ON while the 
PV is equal to or higher than the 
alarm value.
9 Absolute-value 
lower-limit 
alarm
The alarm output is ON while the 
PV is equal to or lower than the 
alarm value.
10 Absolute-value 
upper-limit 
alarm with 
standby 
sequence
This alarm provides a standby 
sequence.
The alarm output is ON while the 
PV is equal to or higher than the 
alarm value.
11 Absolute-value 
lower-limit 
alarm with 
standby 
sequence
This alarm provides a standby 
sequence.
The alarm output is ON while the 
PV is equal to or lower than the 
alarm value.
12 Loop Burnout 
Alarm (LBA) 
(Valid only for 
alarm 1 on a 
Standard 
Model.)
The alarm output turns ON when 
the control loop is broken.
There is assumed to be a loop burnout alarm if 
the control deviation (SP − PV) is greater than 
the threshold set in the LBA Level parameter 
and if the PV is not reduced by at least the 
value set in the LBA Band parameter within a 
specific period of time. The LBA detection time 
and LBA band are set in parameters.
Alarm 
type No.
