Measurement Channel
• Number of Measurement Channels and Scan Interval
The FX acquires data by sampling measurement channel input signals at the set scan
interval. The table below shows the relationship between the number of measurement
channels and the scan interval

FX10044
FX10066
FX10088

FX101212
1 AUTO: The FX automatically switches between 50 Hz and 60 Hz depending on the power
2 You can only set the integration time to 100 ms on models FX1006 through FX1012.
If you set the integration time to 100 ms, you can only set the scan interval to 2 seconds or
5 seconds.
For the setting procedure, see section 3.1.
• Integration Time of the A/D Converter
The FX uses an A/D converter to convert sampled analog signals to digital signals.
By setting the integration time of the A/D converter to match the time period
corresponding to one cycle of the power supply or an integer multiple of one cycle, the
power supply frequency noise can be effectively eliminated.
• Because 100 ms is an integer multiple of 16.7 ms and 20 ms, this setting can be used to
eliminate the power frequency noise for both frequencies, 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
For the setting procedure, see section 3.1.

1.1 Input Section
Note
Difference computation is executed even if the input type or range is not the same between
the difference computation channel and the reference channel. The difference is computed
discarding the decimal place and unit, and the decimal place and unit of the difference
computation channel are applied.
Example 1: If the input value of the difference computation channel is 10.00 and the measured
value of the reference channel is 100.0, the computed result is
10.00 – 100.0 = –90.00.
Example 2: If the input value of the difference computation channel is 10.00 V and the
measured value of the reference channel is 5.00 mV, the computed result is
10.00 V – 5.00 mV = 5.00 V.

• Alarm Hysteresis
You can set a width (hysteresis) to the value used to activate and release alarms.
For the setting procedure, see section 3.5.
• Delay High Limit Alarm and Delay Low Limit Alarm
An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above or below the alarm value
for a specied time period (delay time).
• High Limit on Rate-of-Change Alarm and Low Limit on Rate-of-Change
Alarm
The rate-of-change of the measured values is checked over a certain time (interval).
An alarm occurs if the rate-of-change of the measured value in the rising/falling
direction is greater than or equal to the specied value.
The alarm value of the rate-of-change alarm is set using an absolute value. The
interval is derived using the following equation and set using the number of samples.
Interval = the scan interval × the number of samples
For the setting procedure, see section 3.5.
• Difference High Limit Alarm and Difference Low Limit Alarm
An alarm occurs when the difference in the measured values of two channels is
greater/less than or equal to the specied value. These alarms can be specied on
measurement channels set to difference computation.

• Reflash
When multiple alarms are assigned to one alarm output relay, this function noties the
occurrence of subsequent alarms after the relay is activated by the rst alarm. When
subsequent alarms occur, the output relay is released temporarily. The relays are
deactivated for 500 ms.
The reash function is set on the rst three output relays
* I01 to I03. I01 and I02 for the /A1 option.
*
.
Note
When reflash is enabled, the first three output relays are used exclusively as reflash relays. The
first three output relays are set to OR logic and non-hold operation regardless of the AND/OR
and non-hold/hold settings explained below.
• AND/OR
When multiple alarms are assigned to one alarm output relay, the condition for
activating the output relay can be selected from the following: You can select AND
operation also for the internal switch.
• AND: Activated when all assigned alarms are occurring simultaneously.
• OR: Activated when any of the specied alarms is occurring.
1-7
1.2 Alarms
• Energize or De-energize Operation
You can select whether the alarm output relay is energized or de-energized when an
alarm occurs. If you select de-energize, the alarm output relays will be in the same
state when the power is shut off as they are when an alarm occurs. The setting applies
to all alarm output relays.
• Non-Hold/Hold
The alarm output relay can be set to operate in the following fashion when the alarm
condition is no longer met.
• Turn OFF the relay output (non-hold).
• Hold the relay at ON until the alarm ACK operation is executed (hold).
The setting applies to all alarm output relays.
• Alarm ACK Operation
The alarm acknowledge (alarm ACK) operation releases all alarm indications and
relay outputs. For the action of alarm indication and alarm output relay when you
carried out the alarm ACK operation, see the previous page.
Note
When you enter the basic setting mode, the hold/non-hold condition of the alarm output relay
immediately before is retained. In the basic setting mode, alarms are not detected, and you
cannot acknowledge alarms.
Internal Switch
The alarm status can be output to software switches (30 internal switches). The values of
the internal switch are shown below. Like the alarm output relay, you can specify AND/
OR operation (see the previous page). The internal switches cannot be operated other

On the screen, 30 dots along the time axis is represented by a unit called division (see
the gure on the previous page). The displayed waveform is updated at an interval
corresponding to one dot. This interval is determined by the time corresponding to one
division (referred to as the trend interval). The relationship between the trend interval
and the speed of movement of waveforms on the screen is as follows:

• Numeric display of measurement channels
If a measured value of a measurement channel is over range (see below), the measured
value is indicated as “+Over” or “–Over.” If a burnout is detected on a channel whose
burnout detection function is enabled, the word “Burnout” is indicated. Otherwise, a numeric
value is displayed.
Over range of measurement channels
• For DC voltage input, over range occurs when the measured value of the measurement
channel exceeds ±5% of the measurable range. For example, the measurable range
when the measurement range is 2 V is –2.000 to 2.000 V. If the measured value exceeds
2.200 V, + over range occurs; if the measured value falls below –2.200 V, – over range
occurs.
• For thermocouple or RTD input, over range occurs when the measured value exceeds
approximately ±10°C of the measurable range. For example, the measurable range
when the measurement range is R is 0.0 to 1760.0°C. If the measured value exceeds
approximately 1770.0°C, + over range occurs; if the measured value falls below
approximately –10.0°C, – over range occurs.
• For channels that are linearly scaled, + over range occurs when the value exceeds
30000 excluding the decimal point; – over range occurs when the value falls below
–30000. However, + over range can be changed to greater than or equal to 105% of the
scale width and – over range to less than or equal to –5% of the scale width within ±
30000.
For the setting procedure, see section 3.11.

file is created on the CF card. The data is appended to this file for
each subsequent manual sample operation. A new file is created after
manual sampled data has been stored 100 times.
For operating instructions, see section 6.5.
Report dataThe first time report data is generated, a report data file is created on
the CF card and report data is stored. The report data is appended to
this file every time of report.
Dividing of the report files
The appending of the report data to the file is stopped at a specified
time, and subsequent reports are saved to a new file. The file is
divided in the unit shown in the table below. Also, when recording is
stopped (memory stop), all report files are divided.

1.4 Data Storage Function
Save Operation (Always retain most recent data file/media FIFO)
When saving the data les automatically, you can save the data so that the most
recent data les are constantly retained in the CF card. With this method, you can use
the FX continuously, without changing the CF card.

Medium
Update date
If not enough free space is available when saving a new data le to the CF card,
les are deleted in order from the oldest data update date/time to save the new le.
This operation is referred to as FIFO (First In First Out).
• The FIFO operation is carried out only when saving the following les
automatically. It is not carried out when saving les to the save destination
directory using another method.
Display data les, event data les, report data les, manual sample data les,
and snapshot data les.
• Files that are deleted
All the les in the save destination directory are applicable to be deleted.
However, the following les are excluded. Hidden les, read-only les, les in
the subdirectory within the save destination directory.
• The most recent 1000 les are retained. If the number of les in the save
destination directory exceeds 1000, the number of les is held at 1000 by
deleting old les even if there is enough free space.
• If there are more than 1000 les already in the save destination directory, one or
more les are always deleted before saving the new le. The number of les is
not kept within 1000 in this case.
IM 04L21B01-01EN
• Creating a Display Data File or an Event Data File
The save destination is the CF card. You can create a le when display data is being
recorded or when event data is being recorded in Free mode. Unsaved measured
data is saved to the CF card.
For operating instructions, see section 6.4.
• Manual Save (Collectively Storing Unsaved Data)
Unsaved data in the internal memory is stored in unit of les to the external storage
medium when an external storage medium is inserted and a given operation is carried
out.

• Processing Order of Computation
Computation functions are performed every scan interval, starting with the smallest
computation channel number.
Example: If you specify 102 = 101 + 103, the value of the previous scan interval is
used for the 103 value.
• Handing of the Unit in Computations
In computations, measured values are handled as values without units. For example,
if the measured data from channel 001 is 20 mV and the measured data from channel
002 is 20 V, the computed result of 001 + 002 is 40.
• Displaying the Computed Data
The computed data is displayed by setting a measurement span for each computation
channel. Computation channels can be displayed on various operation screens in the
same fashion as the measurement channels.
For the setting procedure, see section 9.3.
• Alarm
Up to 4 alarms can be assigned to each computation channel. The alarm types are
high limit alarm (H), low limit alarm (L), delay high limit alarm (T), and delay low limit
alarm (t).
• Saving Computed Data
As with the measured data, the computed data can be saved to display data, event
data, manual sampled data, and report data.

• Computation Data Dropout
A computation data dropout occurs if the computation is not completed within the scan
interval. For the operating procedure, see section 9.4.
• The computation icon in the status display section turns yellow.
• When a computation data dropout occurs, the computed data of the scan interval in
which the dropout occurred is set to the data immediately before the dropout.
• If computation data dropout occurs frequently, lessen the load on the CPU by
reducing the number of computation channels or setting a longer scan interval.
• Numeric Display and Recording
The range of displayed values of computed data is from –9999999 to 99999999
excluding the decimal point. The decimal place corresponds to the decimal place of
the lower limit span of the computation channel. On the numeric display, values are
displayed if the computed result is within the above range regardless of the upper and
lower limits of span. The following table indicates special displays.

Overview of Functions
• Rolling Average
The rolling average of the computed result of the equation specied for the
computation channel is determined, and the result is the computed data for that
channel. The number of samples and the sampling interval can be specied for each
computation channel. The rolling average is applied over the time corresponding to “the
number of data samples × the sampling interval.” The maximum sampling interval is 1
hour, and the maximum number of samples is 1500.
• Starting the Computation
You can congure the FX to start the computation when you press the START key.
• Usage of TLOG Computations
TLOG computation determines the sum, maximum, minimum, average, or the
difference between the maximum and minimum of a specic channel for each interval
determined by a timer.
Timers That Are Used
The timer that is used is assigned to each channel.
Unit of Sum Computation
Set the sum scale when using sum computation (TLOG.SUM).

Overview of Functions
• Unit of Sum Computation
In the sum computation, data are summed over the scan interval. However, for ow
values that have units /s, /min, /h, or /day a simple summation results in the actual
value not matching the computed result, because the scan interval and the unit of the
input values are different. In such cases, set the sum scale to match the unit of the
input value. In effect, the sum value with the same unit as that of the input value is
calculated.
3
For example, if the scan interval is 2 s, and the input value is 100 m
/min, a simple
summation would add 100 every 2 s resulting in 3000 after one minute. However, if
the sum scale is set to /min, then 2 s/60 s is multiplied every scan interval before the
value is added giving a result that has an m
3
/min unit.
The following converting equations are used to compute the sum. The unit of the scan
interval is seconds.
Off: Σ(measured data every scan interval)
/s: Σ(measured data every scan interval) × scan interval
/min: Σ(measured data every scan interval) × scan interval/60
/h: Σ(measured data every scan interval) × scan interval/3600
/day: Σ(measured data every scan interval) × scan interval/86400
• Displaying the Report Data
You can display the report data using keys.
For the operating procedure, see section 4.5.
• Saving the Report Data
See section 1.4, “Data Storage Function.”
IM 04L21B01-01EN
• Numeric Display and Recording
The numeric range of the report data is from –9999999 to 99999999 excluding the
decimal point (except –3.4E+38 to 3.4E+38 for sum values).

1.8 Computation and Report Functions (/M1, /PM1, and /PWR1 options)
Special Data Handling
This section explains the handling of special data in TLOG computation, CLOG
computation, and reports.
• Power Failure Operation (TLOG and Reports)
If a power failure occurs when the report function is enabled or in the middle of the
TLOG computation, the report operation and TLOG computation resume when the
FX recovers from the power failure. The operation varies depending on whether the
FX recovers from the power failure before or after the time to create a report or TLOG
data.
Time of Recovery Operation
After the time to create the data The report or TLOG data is created immediately after the FX
Before the time to create the data After the FX recovers, report or TLOG data is created at the
• Error Data Handling (TLOG, CLOG, and Reports)
If an error occurs in the channel data, the error data is discarded, and the computation
continues. If all the data are in error, an error results.
The following types of data are considered error data.
• Channels set to skip or Off.
• The measured result on a measurement channels is error (A/D converter failure,
• The input of the measurement channel is in a burnout condition.
• When an error value is returned as the computed result on a computation channel.
• Channels that are set to Log scale (/LG1 option).

failure is used. At the time the next report or TLOG data is
created, the data after the recovery is used.

the power failure period is used.
etc.).
• Handling of Overflow Data
* Refers to over range on a measurement channel and computation overflow on a computation
channel.
For TLOG, CLOG, and Reports
When the channel data is overow data, the FX handles the data as follows:
Computation Type Description
Average value or sum Set the handling to ERROR, SKIP, or LIMIT.
value ERROR: Considers the data to be a computation error.
SKIP: Discards the overflow data and continues the computation.
LIMIT: Replaces the data with the limit value and continues the
computation.
The limit value is the span upper or lower limit or the scale
upper or lower limit of the channel.
Maximum, minimum, Set the handling to OVER or SKIP.
Maximum – minimum OVER: Computes by using the overflow data.
SKIP: Discards the overflow data and continues the computation.
For Multiplication and Relation Computation EQ and NE
When a failure occurs in the FX CPU, the FX generates a relay contact signal (1 signal).
The relay is energized when the CPU is normal and de-energizes when a CPU failure
occurs. Therefore, relay output is carried out also when the power is turned OFF (including
a power failure). You cannot change this behavior.

The selectable range is from –30000 to 30000. The decimal place is determined by
the Scale_L setting. It can be set to the following positions: “X.XXXX,” “XX.XXX,” “XXX.
XX,” “XXXX.X,” or “XXXXX.”
Note
• The FX converts the measured value to a value within the range set by the Scale_L and
Scale_U values with their decimal points removed. For example, if the scale setting is
“–5 to 5,” the value is converted to a value within the span of “10”; if the scale setting is “–5.0
to 5.0,” the value is converted to a value within a span of “100.” In this case, the resolution
of the value converted to a span of “10” is lower than the value converted to a span of “100.”
To prevent the display from becoming rough, it is recommended that the scale be set so that
this value is greater than 100.

time is 6 s.
• The delay alarm has the following special operations.
• If the computation is stopped in a condition in which the computed value is exceeding the
alarm setting when a delay alarm is set on a computation channel, the alarm is turned
On after the specified period (delay time) elapses.
• The alarm detection operation is reset if a power failure occurs. The operation restarts
after the power recovers.
• If the alarm setting of the delay high limit alarm is changed when an alarm is already
activated and the input is greater than or equal to the new setting, the alarm continues.
For all other cases, the alarm detection operation starts at the new setting. This is also
true for the delay low limit alarm.

Channel 102: Pulse Sum Value
Calculates the pulse sum value.
Under normal conditions, the pulse sum value TLOG.SUM (P01) is calculated. When
the pulse sum value is greater than or equal to the reset value (K01), the pulse sum
value is set to the amount exceeding K01.
Channel 103: Total Sum Value
Multiplies the reset value (K01) by the reset count (101) and adds the pulse sum value
(102) to derive the total sum value.
Note
• The computation is performed in order from the channel with the smallest channel number
in one scan interval. If the channel number in the expression is greater than or equal to the
channel number in which the expression is assigned, the previous computed result (previous
value) is used for the channel in the expression.
• If the pulse input value of the scan interval is greater than the reset value, correct
computation cannot be achieved.

Measurement Channels and Alarms
Measuring Electric Energy
The electric energy is calculated by summing the measured values of the power
measurement channels. To avoid the influence of noise in this calculation, normally use
the low-cut function. On the FX, sum powers to which the low-cut function has been
applied (_WAT_, _WATP_, _WATN_, _VAR_, _VARP_, _VARN_, and _VA_ in the above
table) to measure the electric energy. You can set the low-cut point to any value that you
want.
• Computation Channels
You can write expressions in computation channels to measure the electric energy.
You have to set an expression—one which will be used to sum the measured power
values—in a computation channel. The sum is set using the TLOG expression and
the timer (see example 4 in this section). The TLOG expressions are shown in the
following table.
