Analog Inputs (Analog Comparators (A)) Section 3-10
Note
Connect the negative side to COM for analog inputs. The analog 
input circuit may be destroyed if the positive side is connected to 
COM. 
Operation
Precautions for Correct Use
•  Do not make negative signal inputs to analog inputs. If negative 
signals are made, the internal elements may be damaged.
•  A delay of up to 26 times the cycle time may occur from the time an 
analog voltage equivalent to the SV is input until the analog 
comparator bit turns ON. Refer to Appendix B Ladder Program 
Execution on page 129 and be sure that this delay will not create 
any problems.

Analog input 2 
The analog comparator bit turns ON 
when the analog input 2 voltage is 
higher than the analog input 1 voltage.
