Chapter 1 Explanation of Functions

1.1 Overview of the FX100

Measurement Input

DC voltage, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector, or ON/OFF signal (contact

signal or voltage signal) can be measured. The input signal is A/D-converted at a scan

interval and becomes a measured value of the channel. In addition, difference

computation, square-root computation, and scaling can be carried out on the measured

data to be a measured value of the channel. With the pulse measurement function (/

PM1 option), you can measure the number of pulses per unit time and pulse sum value.

Displaying the Measured Data

The measured data acquired to the internal memory can be displayed on the operation

display using trend waveforms, numeric values (digital values), or bar graphs.

Explanation of Functions

Alarms

Bar Graph Display

Alarms can be generated when the measured data meets a certain condition. When an

alarm occurs, you can have the information about the alarm displayed on the operation

screens. Also, you can output relay signals from the alarm output terminal on the option

terminal block (/A1, /A2, /A3 options). The overview display allows you to check the

alarm status on all channels. Also, the alarm summary shows detailed information about

the alarms in the order that they occurred.

1.2 Functions of the Input Section

Difference Computation

The value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel (this channel is called a “reference channel”) from the input value becomes a measured value of the channel.

Input value

Note

Even if the input type or the measurement range of the difference computation channel and the reference channel is not the same, the difference computation is performed according to the following rules.

• When the decimal position between the reference channel and the difference computation

• When the units for the reference channel and the difference computation channel are

• When the reference channel is set to [Scale] or [Sqrt], the computation uses the scaled

Difference computation

−

Measured value of the reference channel

channel is different, the measured value of the reference channel is adjusted to the decimal position of the measured value of the difference computation channel to make the computation. Example: When the measured value of the difference computation channel is 10.00 and the measured value of the reference channel is 100.0, the computation result becomes

10.00 – 100.0 = –90.00.

different, the measured value is not adjusted. Example: When the measured value of the difference computation channel is 10.00 V and the measured value of the reference channel is 5.00 mV, the computation result becomes

10.00 V – 5.00 mV = 5.00 V.

Measured value

Scaling

The input value is converted to a value in the appropriate unit and the converted value becomes a measured value of the channel.

Burnout Detection

When measuring temperature using a thermocouple and the thermocouple burns out, you can specify the measurement result to be set to positive over range* or negative over range.* Burnout can be set on each measurement channel.

* Positive over range is a condition in which the input signal is over the upper limit of the

measurable range. Negative over range is a condition in which the input signal is below the lower limit of the measurable range. The measured value is indicated as “Burnout” for both cases.

Reference Junction Compensation (RJC)

When measuring the temperature using a thermocouple, the reference junction compensation can be used. You can select whether to use the reference junction compensation provided by the FX100 or external reference junction compensation. If you are using external reference junction compensation, you will also set the reference voltage.

Note

When using the external reference junction compensation, set an appropriate reference junction compensation voltage. As in the example in the following figure, if the reference junction temperature for the external reference junction compensation is T0 °C, set the thermoelectromotive force of the 0 °C reference for T0 °C as the reference junction compensation voltage.

Filter/Moving Average

The filter and moving average are used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on the signal. Filtering is provided on the FX103. Moving average is provided on the FX106 and FX112. The filter or moving average can be set on each channel.

Filter Function (FX103)

Suppresses the effects of noise above the frequency determined by the specified time constant. The time constant can be set to 2 s, 5 s, or 10 s.

Moving Average

The input signal of the measurement channel is set to the averaged value of the m most current data points (the number of moving-averaged data points) acquired at the scan interval. The number of moving-averaged data points can be set in the range 2 to 16. The figure below shows an example indicating the operation of the buffer for the moving average computation when the number of moving-averaged data points is set to “5.”

Integration Time of the A/D Converter

The FX100 uses an A/D converter to convert the sampled analog signal to a digital signal. By setting the integration time 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. The integration time of the A/D converter is selected from the table below.

Model Integration Time of the A/D Converter

FX103 Select 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), or Auto FX106/FX112 Select 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), 100 ms, or Auto

• If “Auto” is selected, the FX100 will automatically detect the power supply frequency and select 16.7 ms or 20 ms. Fixed to 20 ms on /P1 models that use the 24 VDC power supply.

• 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 either frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. However, when the integration time is 100 ms, the scan interval is fixed to 2 s.

1.3 Alarm Function

Alarm Hysteresis

You can set a width (hysteresis) to the values used to activate and release alarms. Alarm hysteresis prevents frequent activation and release of alarms when the measured value is unstable around the alarm value. The hysteresis is fixed to 0.5% of the measurement span (display scale width if the range is set to scale). It is applied only on alarms set to upper/lower limit alarm on measurement channels. The function can be turned ON/OFF. The initial value is set to [On] (use hysteresis). The setting applies to all measurement channels.

1.3 Alarm Function

Alarm Output Relay (/A1, /A2, or /A3 option)

If you are using a model with the optional alarm output relay, a contact signal can be generated according to the alarm conditions. The number of contact outputs for a/A1 to / A3 are 2, 4, and 6 respectively. The alarm output relays are indicated using [I01] to [I06] in the alarm output settings. The following functions can be specified on the alarm output relay.

Reflash

When multiple alarms are set to one alarm output relay, this function notifies the succeeding alarms after the first alarm that causes the relay activation. When a succeeding alarm occurs, the output relay temporarily turns OFF (approximately 500 ms). The initial value is set to Off (do not use). The reflash alarm function is set only to output relays I01, I02, and I03 (I01 and I02 for /A1 option).
