9.1. What Is the Surveillance Function?
The surveillance function continually monitors operating conditions for each piece of equipment in the system,
operations between equipment components, connections and communications between equipment
components, power supply conditions and other important component parts and points extending from input to
output. If malfunctions or cable breakage is detected, details of such irregularities* are displayed on the VM-
3240VA’s LCD. At the same time, the communications failure indicator or failure indicator on the system
equipment flashes to alert the system operator to such irregularities along with a buzzer tone.
The setting software is used to set surveillance time intervals, component parts to be monitored and
subsequent operations when a failure is detected. (Refer to "Surveillance Settings" in the separate software
instruction manual.)
Detected failures are recorded in the VM-3240VA’s log, and the recorded log can be confirmed using the
setting software. (Refer to "Log Display" in the separate software instruction manual.)
* For LCD failure display, refer to page 41.
9.2. How to Use the Surveillance Function
Be sure to perform the following settings to enable the surveillance function. If not performed, the surveillance
function cannot be used.
