Temperature Input Units Section 6-4
■ Example of Bottom Hold
Note A delay in network transmission time will occur from the time the Hold Flag
turns ON (or OFF) in the Master’s ladder program until notification of the flag’s
status is actually sent to the Slave. Therefore, even when the Hold Flag is
ON, the first temperature data transmitted to the Master when the CPU Unit
power is turned ON may be the data from when the Hold Flag was OFF. To
collect peak/bottom hold data using the Hold Flag at the Master, configure a
ladder program that considers the transmission delay when the Hold Flag is
turned ON, then enables the peak/bottom hold values after a fixed time inter-
val.
