[ d ] PI Latch Function
The PI latch function saves (latches) the current value to a memory register (IL
îš…îš…îš…îš…
+06)
on the
rising edge of an external signal.
Select either phase-Z or a discrete input as the external signal.
The following graph shows the number of occurrences from when PI latch signal is output to when PI
latch data is displayed.

When using a discrete input signal (DI latch), set the signal so that the signal remains ON for
5 to 60
µs.
