4-10-1  Alarm Types
4 Upper- and 
lower-limit range*1
*3 Set the upward deviation in 
the set point for the alarm 
upper limit (H) and the 
lower deviation in the set 
point for the alarm lower 
limit (L). The alarm is ON 
when the PV is inside this 
deviation range.
5 Upper- and 
lower-limit with 
standby 
sequence*1
*5
*4 A standby sequence is 
added to the upper- and 
lower-limit alarm (1).*6
6 Upper-limit with 
standby sequence

added to the upper-limit 
alarm (2).*6
7 Lower-limit with 
standby sequence
A standby sequence is 
added to the lower-limit 
alarm (3).*6
8 Absolute-value 
upper-limit
The alarm will turn ON if the 
process value is larger than 
the alarm value (X) 
regardless of the set point. 
9 Absolute-value 
lower-limit
The alarm will turn ON if the 
process value is smaller 
than the alarm value (X) 
regardless of the set point. 
10 Absolute-value 
upper-limit with 
standby sequence
A standby sequence is 
added to the absolute-value 
upper-limit alarm (8).*6
11 Absolute-value 
lower-limit with 
standby sequence
A standby sequence is 
added to the absolute-value 
lower-limit alarm (9).*6

14 SP absolute-value 
upper-limit alarm
This alarm type turns ON 
the alarm when the set 
point (SP) is higher than the 
alarm value (X).
15 SP absolute-value 
lower-limit alarm
This alarm type turns ON 
the alarm when the set 
point (SP) is lower than the 
alarm value (X).
16 MV absolute-value 
upper-limit alarm*9
Standard Control Standard Control This alarm type turns ON 
the alarm when the
