Chapter 1 Overview of Functions

1.1Input 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	Number of Measurement	Scan Interval	A/D Converter
		Channels		Integration Time
	FX1002	2	125ms, 250ms	AUTO1/50Hz/60Hz
	FX1004	4
	FX1006	6
	FX1008	8	1s, 2s, 5s	AUTO1/50Hz/60Hz/
	FX1010	10		100ms2
	FX1012	12

1 AUTO: The FX automatically switches between 50 Hz and 60 Hz depending on the power supply frequency.

2You 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.

Input Type and Computation

You can make measurements using the following input types.

	Input Type	Description
	DC voltage	You can measure DC voltages in the range of ±20 mV to ±50 V.
	DC current	You can measure a DC current signal by converting it to a voltage signal using a shunt1
		resistor attached to the input terminal. The converted signal can be measured within the DC
		voltage range (see above).
		You can measure temperatures corresponding to these thermocouple types: R, S, B, K, E, J,
	Thermocouple	T, N, W, L, U, and WRe3-25. It is also possible to measure using other thermocouples, such
		as PR40-20 and PLATINEL.2
	RTD	You can measure temperatures using RTD types Pt100 and JPt100.
		It is also possible to measure using other RTD types such as Pt50 and Ni100.2
		You can display contact input or voltage input signals correlated to 0% or 100% of the
	ON/OFF input	display range.
		Contact input: A closed contact is on (1). An open contact is off (0).
		Voltage input: Less than 2.4 V is off (0). 2.4 V or more is on (1).
	Pulse input3	You can count pulses. Use the dedicated input terminal.
	AC voltage and current4	You can measure the power and electric energy. Use the dedicated input terminal.
	Logarithmic DC voltage5	Use the Log scale to display and record the physical quantity.
	1 Item sold separately. For example, you can use a 250 Ω shunt resistor to convert a 4 to
		20 mA signal to a 1 to 5 V signal.

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.

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 specified 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 specified value. These alarms can be specified on measurement channels set to difference computation.

•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.
