Chapter 1 Overview of Functions

1.1 Input Section

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
Model
FX1002 2 FX1004 4 FX1006 6 FX1008 8 FX1010 10 FX1012 12
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 specied 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 specied 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 specied value. These alarms can be specied on measurement channels set to difference computation.

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 specied alarms is occurring.

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 than for alarm output.

Note
• 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.

Recording Method of Display Data and Event Data
For the setting procedure, see section 6.1. For operating instructions, see section 6.4.
• Types of Data to Be Acquired
Select display data only, display data and event data, or event data only.
Deciding the Data to Be Recorded
Record the data that suits your application. Refer to the following examples. Example 1: Continuously record the waveform data as with the conventional chart
recorder. Record the display data. Example 2: Record waveform data under normal conditions but record details around
the point of alarm occurrence when alarms occur. Continuously record display data and record event data when alarms
occur. Example 3: Only record the most-detailed data at all times. Record event data by specifying the sampling interval. Example 4: No need to continuously record data. Record data only when alarms
occur. Record event data only when alarms occur.
• Internal Memory
The recorded measured data is divided at a specic time interval and saved to les.
If the internal memory is full or if the number of display data les and event data les exceeds 400, les are overwritten from the oldest le.

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.
• 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.

1.8 Computation and Report Functions (/M1, /PM1, and /PWR1 options)
• 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 specied 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 specied 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 congure 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 specic 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). Select Off, /s, /min, or /h. For details, see page 1-45.

This function is used to create hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly reports. For the setting procedure, see section 9.5.
• Report Data Types
You can select from four types among maximum value, minimum value, average
value, sum value, and instantaneous value. Report data is calculated from the measured values that have been sampled at the scan interval.
• Report Type
Type Description
Hourly report Creates report data every hour on the hour for the previous one hour. Daily report Creates report data every day at a specified time for the previous one day. Weekly report Creates report data every week at a specified time at a specified day of the
week for the previous one week.
Monthly report Creates report data every month at a specified time at a specified day for
the previous one month.
• Combinations of Reports That Can Be Created
You can select from hourly reports only, daily reports only, hourly and daily reports,
daily and weekly reports, and daily and monthly reports.
• Source Channels
You can select from measurement channels and computation channels. The report
data are not created for channels that are set to Skip or Off.

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.”
• 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).
For the data handling of special cases, see “Special Data Handling” in this section. For details on the report le format, see appendix 3.

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.

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 overow 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.

Overview of Functions
FAIL Output
Status Output
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.

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.
• You cannot set the same value to Scale_L and Scale_U.

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.

setting mode), and select the Environment tab > Input, Alarm
Setup Items
• Input > Value on over-range
Settings Description
Free The value is set to –over range if the value is less than –30000 and +over range
if the value is greater than 30000 excluding the decimal point. The value is displayed as –Over and +Over, respectively.
Over The value is set to –over range if the value is less than –5% of the scale and
+over range if the value is greater than 105%. The value is displayed as –Over and +Over, respectively.
Example: If the scale is 0.0 to 200.0, the value is set to –over range if the value is
less than –10.0 of the scale and +over range if the value is greater than 210.0.
* The “Value on over-range” setting is not applied to channels that are set to log scale (/LG1
option). (See section 3.13.)
Note
For computations such as TLOG, CLOG, and report, the handling of the scale over-range value can be set in advance. See section 9.1.

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.

• Report Function
By using the report function, you can output electric energy as a power measurement
channel’s hourly, daily, or monthly report. In addition, on the stacked bar graph display, you can also display a list of items such as the total electric energy for a month and the electric energy for each day of the month (see example 5 in this section).
