setting value in setting value change mode.
6.1.1Setting value change mode (Counter/Timer)
In RUN mode, press the key to enter setting value chang e m ode.
Even if changing the setting value, input operation and output control will continue. In
addition, the setting value could be set to 0 and the output of 0 setting value turn s ON.
When entering the setting value change mode, the counting value display component
displays present value and the setting value display c om ponent displays the setting value.
According to the output mode, setting value could not be set to 0. (When setting to 0,
setting value "0" will flash 3 times.)
※In case of 1-stage preset, indicator model, PRESET2 displays PS and PRESET1 does not
displayed.
※Press the key to save the changing setting value at each parameter and it moves the next
Setting value of setting mode can be confirmed using the and keys.
6.1.3Switching display function in preset indicator
Setting value 1(PS1) and setting value 2(PS2) are displayed each time pressing key in dual
setting value change model. (In timer, it is available for OND, ONd1, ONd2 output mode.)
6.1.4RESET
In RUN mode or function setting mode, if pressing key or applying the signal to the RESET
terminal on the back side, present value will be reset and output will maintain off status. When
selecting voltage input (PNP), short no.10 and no. 12 terminals, or when selecting no-voltage
input (NPN), short no.11 and no.12 terminals to reset.
6.2 BATCH counter
(only for CT6M-1P□□/CT6M-2P□□ model)
BATCH counter displays the repeat same operation to the set ting value.
In RUN mode, press the key to enter BATCH counter indication mode.
In BATCH counter indication mode, 'BATCH counter value' is displayed in count indicator
and 'BATCH counter setting value' is displayed in preset indicator.
In BATCH counter indication mode, press the key to set BATCH setting value change
mode.
Press the key to return BATCH counter indication mode.
※If setting BATCH counter setting value as ‘0’, BATCH output does not turn ON.
※In BATCH counter indication mode, press the key to return RUN mode.
BATCH counting value is increasing until BATCH reset signal applied. BATCH counting
value will be circulated when it is over 999999.
BATCH counting operation in Counter: Counts the number of reaching setting value.
BATCH counting operation in Timer: Counts the number of reaching sett ing t i m e. (in case of
'FLK' output mode, it counts the number of reaching T.off setting time and T.on setting time.)
6 Basic Operations (Counter/Timer/Co mmunication)
6.2.3 BATCHoutput operation
If input signal is applied while changing BATCH setting value, counting operation and output
control will be performed.
If BATCH count value equals to BATCH setting value, BATCH output will be ON and
maintain ON status until BATCH reset signal is applied.
When the power is cut off then resupplied in status of BATCH output is ON, BATCH output
maintains ON status until BATCH reset signal is applied.
※In case of from ‘BATCH setting value>BATCH counting value’ to ‘BATCH setting
value≤BATCH counting value’ and returning to RUN mode, BATCH output turns ON.
※In case of from turning ON BATCH output to ‘BATCH setting value>BATCH counting value’,
BATCH output maintains ON until BATCH RESET input applied.
6.2.4BATCH RESET inputIn BATCH counter indication mode, press the key or applying the signal to BATCH
reset terminal on the back side panel, BATCH counting value will be reset.
When selecting voltage input (PNP), short termi nals 10 and 14, or when selecting
no-voltage input (NPN), short terminals 11 and 14 to reset.
When BATCH reset is applied, BATCH countin g value maintains at 0 and BATCH output
In case, putting 5 products in a box then packing the boxes when they reach to 200.
Counter setting: Preset setting value=5, BATCH setting value =200
When the count value of counter reaches to the setting value "5", the control output
(OUT) will be on, and at this time the count value of the B ATCH counter will be
increased by "1". The control box which is re ceived the control output (OUT) repeatedly
controls conveyor to move the full box and to place t he next empty box for standby.
When the BATCH count value reaches to "200", BATCH output will be ON. Then the
control box stops conveyor and provides a control signal for packing.
(2) Timer
Fills milk into the bottle for 3 sec (setting time) When 500 bottles ar e filled, BATCH counting
finish lamp is turned on.
(setting time: 3 sec, BATCH setting value: 500)
In RUN mode, hold the key for 3 sec/5 sec to enter parameter 1 group, parameter 2
group.
In setting mode, hold the key for 3 sec to return RUN mode.
6 Basic Operations (Counter/Timer/Communication)
※Counter counting and output control operates c ontinuously even entering setting mode.
※When changing the setting values of parameter 1 group via communication, the display value
and output are reset.
※Parameter 2 group is not available to non-communication models.
