If input data is below the converted range (i.e., the input voltage of the data is
less than approximately 0.95 V or the input current of the data is less than
approximately 3.8 mA), the broken wire detection function of the Analog Input
Unit will be activated.

input range is 1 to 5 V or 4 to 20 mA, the Analog Input Unit may be influenced
by the previous input if the input has changed greatly. Avoid setting a range of
–10 to 10 V as much as possible before using an input range of 1 to 5 V or 4
to 20 mA.
The mean value processing function of the Analog Input Unit is activated by
setting pin 10 of the Analog Input Unit's DIP switch to ON. If the mean value
processing function is activated, all input values (inputs 1 to 4) will be aver-
aged.
The mean value processing function enables the Analog Input Unit to convert
each input value eight times, average the values, and store the results as dig-
ital conversion data in the input word. The contents of the word are refreshed
with intervals of approximately 72 ms.
Note By using the AVG instruction of the CPU, only particular input values can be
averaged or the number of averaging operations can be changed.
• The broken wire detecting function of the Analog Input Unit makes it pos-
sible to detect and alarm the disconnection of any wire that has been con-
nected to the Analog Input Unit.
• The broken wire detecting function of the Analog Input Unit will work when
the input voltage and current drops to approximately 0.95 V and 3.8 mA or
lower if the Analog Input Unit is set to a range of 1 to 5 V or 4 to 20 mA.
• When the Analog Input Unit detects wire disconnection, the broken wire
detecting indicator (BROKEN WIRE) will be lit and the broken wire flag of
the input that has been disconnected will be set to 1. (Refer to 3-3-2
Adjustment)
• The broken wire detecting indicator will reset to OFF automatically when
the input returns to normal.
