Using the Simple Program Function
Starting Method
Note
Soak Time and Wait Band
Note
Any of the following three methods can be used to start the simple program.
• Setting the Program Start parameter to STRT.
• Turning ON an event input. (The program start must be assigned to an
event input. See note.)
• Starting with an Operation Command using communications. (When the
program start is not assigned to an event input.)
When the simple program is started and reset, writing is performed to
EEPROM. Be sure to consider the write life (1 million writes) of the EEPROM
in the system design. When the program start is assigned to an event input,
the Program Start parameter will function as a monitor display, and the RSET/
STRT displays can be used to check when the event input has started or reset
the simple program. When this is done, the Program Start parameter func-
tions as a monitor display only and cannot be changed using key operations.
If the Program Pattern parameter is set to OFF, the event input assignment
setting will be initialized to "None."

The wait band is the band within which the process value is stable in respect
to the set point. The soak time is measured within the wait band. The timer
that measures the soak time operates only when the process value is within
the wait band around the set point (i.e., SP
gram, the timer will be stopped between the start and (1), (2) and (3), and (4)
and (5) and will measure the time only between (1) and (2), (3) and (4), and
(5) and the end.
If the wait band is set to OFF, the wait band will be treated as infinity and the
timer will measure time continuously after changing from RSET to STRT.
