Peak/bottom hold is used to hold the maximum (peak) value or minimum (bot-
tom) value of the temperature input value. When the Hold Flag (output) allo-
cated in the OUT Area turns ON, the hold function starts, searching for the
peak or bottom value until the Hold Flag turns OFF. (The peak/bottom value is
refreshed when the Hold Flag turns OFF.) The comparator function can be
used to compare the peak or bottom values allocated as temperature data 1.
(Refer to details on the comparator function.)

Note A delay in network transmission time will occur from the time the Hold Flag
turns ON (or OFF) in the Master's ladder program until notification of the flag's
status is actually sent to the Slave. Therefore, even when the Hold Flag is ON,
the first temperature data transmitted to the Master when the CPU Unit power
is turned ON may be the data from when the Hold Flag was OFF. To collect
peak/bottom hold data using the Hold Flag at the Master, configure a ladder
