Delta, scaling, and square root are supported for the various modes as shown below.
The values in the Range/Type list box vary depending on the above settings.
• Span L, Span U
Input range. You cannot enter values that are outside of the range.
Note
• You cannot set the same value to [Span L] and [Span U].
• When [Delta/Scale/Sqrt/LOG Scale] is set to [Sqrt], [LogType1], or [LogType2], or [Mode] is
set to [1-5V], you can only set [Span L] to a value that is less than [Span U].

Linear Scaling (SCALE)
Converts the unit to obtain the measured value.
• Scale L, Scale U
Input range after converting the unit. The selectable range is from –30000 to 30000.
• Point
Set the number of digits to the right the decimal to four digits or less.
Note
• The FX converts the measured value to a value obtained by removing the decimal point
from the value span specified by [Scale L] and [Scale U]. 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].
• When the [Mode] is [1-5V] or [Sqrt], [Scale L] must be less than [Scale U].
Difference Computation (DELTA)
Displays the difference between the input and the reference channel.
If difference computation is performed between channels that have different range and
type settings, the decimal position of the computed result is set to that of the channel
computing the difference. If the number of digits to the right of the decimal of the
reference channel is greater than that of the channel computing the difference, the
reference value below the least significant digit of the channel computing difference is
rounded beforehand.

If you set the reference channel of a differential computation between channels to a channel

Four alarms (Alarm 1 to 4) can be specified on each channel.
Type
Select H, L, h, l, R, r, T or t. The selectable alarms vary depending on the input mode
and computation type. For details, see chapter 3 in the FX User’s Manual.
Alarm value and exponent
Alarm is generated using the specified value as the boundary. The selectable range of
alarm values vary depending on the input mode and range.
For channels that are set to [LogType1] or [LogType2], set the value by specifying the
mantissa and exponent. Enter the mantissa under [Value].
Alarm Relay
Specify the internal switch or output relay that will be used to generate alarms.
Otherwise, select [None].
Detect
This can be selected when [No Logging] is turned [ON] under [Alarm] - [Alarm action] in
the [Basic Setting] tab.
Select whether to show or hide the alarm indication when an alarm occurs. If set to [OFF],
a signal is output to the alarm output relay or internal switch when an alarm occurs, but it
is not indicated on the screen. The alarm is also not recorded in the alarm summary.
Alarm delay
Set the alarm delay time to an integer value from 1 to 3600 s. If the measured value
remains above or below the set alarm value for the set period of time (the delay time),
an alarm is activated.
Note
FX specications
• The alarm delay time takes on a value that is an integer multiple of the scan interval. For
example, if the alarm delay time is set to 5 s when the scan interval is 2 s, the actual delay
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 period) 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 lower limit alarm.

Boundary
Set the value that is to be the boundary between the reduced section and the expanded
section in the range of “minimum span value + 1 digit to maximum span value – 1 digit.”
For channels that are set to scaling, the selectable range is “minimum scale value + 1
digit to maximum scale value – 1 digit.”
Example: Input range: –6 V to 6V. Bound position: 30. Boundary: 0
The –6 V to 0 V range is displayed in the 0% to 30% range, and the 0 V to 6
V range is displayed in the 30% to 100% range.
The conditions used to set the boundary vary depending on the measurement and
computation channels as follows:
• Measurement channel
When SCALE and SQRT are not used: Span L < boundary < span U
When SCALE and SQRT are used: Scale L < boundary < scale U
• Computation channel

settings”), such as IP addresses, are changed, the data for those settings is sent
separately from other setup data. A FX that receives address setup data restarts
automatically and begins operating with the data that has been sent.
The following items are address settings:
