Digital Filter Processing Period
The following describes the Digital Filter Processing Period, which is the data processing period for
the digital low-pass filter and moving average filters.
 Application
The Digital Filter Processing Period is used to calculate the set value of the digital low-pass filter
cutoff frequency, the set value of the moving average count for a moving average filter, and the de-
lay time.
 Determining the Processing Period
The Digital Filter Processing Period is the period during which the High-speed Analog Input Units
execute the processing of the digital low-pass filter and moving average filters in the sampling peri-
od. This period is automatically determined for each channel with the following formula. The period
is calculated as a value between 5 and 9.999 µs.

This indicates the sampling period of analog input data during the task period in the rele-
vant channel.
Refer to 8-4 Number of Samplings Setting on page 8 - 8 for the calculation formula for
the sampling period.
This indicates the number of processing operations during the sampling period in the rel-
evant channel. It can be calculated with the following formula.
•
Ch£ Number of Digital Filter Processing Operations [times] = Ch£ Sampling Period
[µs] ÷ 5 µs
The Ch£ Number of Digital Filter Processing Operations is calculated as an integer. The
decimal portion of the result is truncated.
