5. SETTING PARAMETERS
Set the parameters using a PC (VJ77 Parameter Setting Tool).
Refer to “7. LIST OF PARAMETERS” in this manual and the
User’s Manual for VJ77 PC-based Parameters Setting Tool (IM
77J01J77-01E) . Parameters are indicated inside the [ ].
5.1 Settings Related to Inputs and Outputs
5.1.1 Input Type
Set by selecting input type from among VOLTS (DC voltage)
and CURRENT (DC current) in [D12: INP TYPE].
5.1.2 Input resistance

and 100% of output range in [D31: OUT_H_RNG] within the
numerically specied range.
CAUTION
In case the input and output range is changed after
factory-ship, the instrument may not work within
the rated accuracy range depending on the changed
input range. Perform the adjustment following the
maintenance of this instruction manual after changing
the input range.
5.1.7 Pulse Width Type
Select and set “50%” (duty 50%), “ON PULSE” (ON-state
pulse width xed), or “OFF PULSE” (OF-state pulse width
xed) in [D55: PULSE TYPE].
5.1.8 Pulse Width Time
The pulse width time is set when the pulse width type is set to
“ON PULSE.”
Select and set the numerical value in
[D56: PULSE WIDTH]
.
Pulse width setting range: 0.1 to 500ms, by 0.1ms
The output frequency when ON-state pulse width or OFF-
state pulse width is xed is as follows. The frequency over the
following frequency is limited.
1
Pulse width set value(ms) x 2
x 1000[Hz]
5.1.9 Output Low Cut Point
Set [D44: LOW CUT] to the low cut point.
Setting range: 0.0001Hz to 100% output frequency
If the output is less than or equal to the low cut point, the
output is 0Hz.
5.2 Settings Related to Communication
Function
Set the following parameters when output-2 is specied
for communication function. For more information on the
communication function, see the Instruction Manual for VJ Series
Communication Function (IM 77J1J11-01E).Parameters are
indicated inside the [ ].
5.2.1 Communication Protocol
Set the communication protocol by selecting from among PC-
LINK, PC-LINK WITH SUM, MODBUS ASCII, MODBUS RTU,
and LADDER in [F01: PROTOCOL].
5.2.2 Communication Address
Set the address number of the converter numerically in a
range of 1 to 99 in [F02: ADDRESS].
5.2.3 Baud Rate
Set the baud rate by selecting from among 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 19200, and 38400 bps in [F03: BAUD RATE].
5.2.4 Parity
Select and set NONE, EVEN, or ODD in [F04: PARITY].
5.2.5 Data Length
Select and set 7 bits or 8 bits in [F05: DATA LEN].
5.2.6 Stop Bit
Select and set 1 bit or 2 bits in [F06: STOP BIT].
5.2.7 Input Decimal Point Position
Number of digits of decimal places (setting of D register
[D0003]) can be set.
Select and set among 0 to 5 digits in [F07: INPUT DEC PT].
5.3 Settings Related to Alarm Output
Set the following parameters when output-2 is specied for alarm
output.
5.3.1 Alarm Setpoints
Set the alarm setpoints of alarm-1 and alarm-2 in [E03: SET
POINT1] and [E04: SET POINT2] numerically.
• Setting range: A range of 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.3.2 Direction of Alarm Action
Select the direction of alarm-1 action and that of alarm-2
action from among HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) and LOW
ALM (low-limit alarm) and set each in [E05: ALM1 ACTION]
(direction of alarm-1 action) or [E06: ALM2 ACTION]
(direction of alarm-2 action).
• To activate alarm status when input signal ≥ alarm setpoint,
select HIGH ALM.
• To activate alarm status when input signal ≤ alarm setpoint,
select LOW ALM.
5.3.3 Hysteresis
Set alarm-1 and alarm-2 hysteresis, in [E09: HYSTERESIS1]
and [E10: HYSTERESIS]. Hysteresis is a value added to the
alarm setpoint in order for an alarm status to be released (to
normal) after the alarm status has been activated. The alarm
status will be released in the following conditions, depending
on the direction of alarm action.
* When HIGH ALM (high-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released
when input signal < (alarm setpoint - hysteresis).
* When LOW ALM (low-limit alarm) is set: Alarm is released
when input signal > (alarm setpoint + hysteresis).
• Setting range: A range of 0 to 100% of input range
• Setting resolution: 0.1%
5.3.4 Alarm ON Delay and Alarm OFF Delay
Set alarm-1 and alarm-2 ON delays in [E11: ON DELAY1] and
[E12: ON DELAY2] and then alarm-1 and alarm-2 OFF delays
in [E13: OFF DELAY1] and [E14: OFF DELAY2].
An alarm ON delay is a delay time from the establishment of
alarm condition to alarm output; an alarm OFF delay is a delay
time from the establishment of return-to-normal condition to
output.
• Setting range: 0 to 999 seconds
• Setting resolution: 1 second (Note that about 0.2 second
will be added to set time to prevent erroneous operation.)
For example, when an alarm ON delay is set to 1 second,
alarm output is generated if alarm status continues for
more than 1 second after the input value exceeds the
alarm setpoint. Further, when an alarm OFF delay is set
to 2 seconds, alarm output is released if normal condition
continues for more than 2 seconds after the input value has
returned to normal from the alarm status.
5.3.5 Direction of Relay Action
Set the direction of relay energizing in alarm-1 normal
condition and alarm-2 normal condition by selecting from
among NRM DE-ENERGIZED (de-energized under normal
condition) and NRM ENERGIZED (energized under normal
condition) in [E15: RL1 ACTION] and [E16: RL2 ACTION]
and set them.
