•Input range (RHn, RLn): An input range should be set if an input signal is mV or
temperature input. If an input value is -6.25% or less, or greater than 106.25% of the
input range, an input overrange occurs. For actions to be taken in the event of an
input overrange, see Section 8.2, "Actions under Fault Conditions."
•Square root extraction (SQRn, L.CUTn): If an input signal is 1 to 5 V DC, the
availability of square root extraction and a low-level cutoff point can be specified.
Specification of a low-level cutoff point is enabled only when square root extraction
is available. For inputs below the low-level cutoff point, no square root is extracted.
(Linear characteristics apply for any inputs below the low-level cutoff point.)
•Filter (Fn): This is a first-order lag filter. The time constant can be set in the range of
0.0 to 200.0 seconds. Note that for the actual time constant, a hardware filter time
constant of approx. 0.1 second will be added to the noted setting.
•Scaling (DPn, SCHn, SCLn): If an input signal is mV or 1 to 5 V DC, scaling can be
applied to a range specified by the input range (RHn, RLn). A value converted by
scaling (a value obtained by adding bias to this value if bias is used) becomes PVn.
The initial value of scaling is 0.0 to 100.0 (DPn=1, SCHn=100.0, SCLn=0.0).
<How to Set Input Range and Scaling>
The following is the example when input range of 10.0 to 80.0 mV is scaled to 1000 to
20000.
(1) Set the input range at the parameters RL1 and RH1.
(Example: RL1=10.0, RH1=80.0)
(2) Set the input decimal point position matched to the unit system actually in use at
DP1.
(Example: DP1=0)
(3) Set the scale range at the parameters SCH1 and SCL1.
(Example: SCL1=20000, SCH1=1000)
(Example)
0.0 mV (RL1) 100.0 mV (RH1)
Default input range
0.0 (SCL1) 100.0 (SCH1)
Default scale
10.0 mV (RL1) 80.0 mV (RH1)

Note: Reverse scaling (SCH1 < SCL1) is also possible.
The alarm unit will not operate normally when SCH1 is set to equal SCL1. Change the setting.
•Bias (BIASn):
A bias value can be added to scaling values.
This allows error to be compensated when there is an error between the input value
and the indicated value.
Bias can be set within the range ±10% [(SCH1 - SCL1) x 0.1] of the scaling width.
•PVn:
The value obtained by adding bias to the scaling value.
