5.3 Limit Switch Function
5.3.1 Limit Switch
The limit switch function is to transmit 0 and 1 as a parameter by judging whether the selected
processvalueisaboveorbelowthethresholdvalue.Thefunctionoperatesasthegurebelow.

0(State0)or1(State1)isentered.
Figure 5.3.1 shows examples of the operation for a case where the operation direction is Low
limit on the left side and a case where the operation direction is High limit on the right side.
WhentheoperationdirectionisLowlimit,acontactpointoutputbecomes1(State1)ifthe
process value goes below the threshold. When the process value goes over the value obtained
byaddingthehysteresistothethreshold(threshold+hysteresis)afterthat,thecontactpoint
output becomes 0.
When the operation direction is High limit, the operation is opposite to the operation for Low
limit.Whenprocessvaluegoesoverthethreshold,thecontactpointoutputbecomes1(State
1).Whentheprocessvaluegoesbelowthevalueobtainedbydeductingthethresholdfromthe
hysteresis(threshold-hysteresis),thecontactpointoutputbecomes0.
On this product, two units of the above parameter and process value unit are prepared for each
process value. Meanwhile, the value of contact point output is updated only when selected by the
channel of the DI function block.
