3.4 Setting Alarm Type
•
Three alarm outputs are supported: alarms 1 to 3. Of these, only the
alarm assigned as the output can be used.
•
Alarm output conditions are determined according to the combination
of the “alarm type”, “alarm value” and “alarm hysteresis” parameter
settings.
•
The contact conditions when alarm output is ON can be set to “open”
or “closed” in the “close in alarm/open in alarm” parameter.
•
The following table shows the alarm types supported by the E5CK con-
troller and their respective operations.

ation)”.
•
Alarm values are indicated by “X” in the table above. Alarm output
operation differs according to whether the value of the alarm is positive
or negative.
•
Alarm values are set independently for each alarm in the “alarm value
1 to 3” parameters (level 1 mode). Factory setting is “0”.
