1.3 Alarms
This function generates an alarm when the measured data meets a set condition. You
can set a maximum of four different alarms on each channel.
Alarm Types
You can use the types of alarms listed below. The letters contained in parentheses are
used as abbreviations for the alarms.
For alarm configuration instructions, see section 3.7.

• Hysteress
You can set a difference between the value that activates an alarm and the value that
deactivates it.
For configuration instructions, see section 3.5.
• Delay Hgh Lmt Alarm and Delay Low Lmt Alarm
If the measured value remains above or below the set alarm value for the set period of
time (the delay time), an alarm is activated.
• Hgh Lmt on Rate-of-Change Alarm and Low Lmt on Rate-of-Change
Alarm
The MV checks the rate-of-change of the measured values over a set period of time (the
interval) and activates an alarm if the rate-of-change in the rising or falling direction is
greater than or equal to the set value.
The alarm value of the rate-of-change alarm is set using an absolute value. The
interval is derived from the sampling count using the following equation:
Interval = scan nterval × samplng count
For instructions on how to set the interval, see section 3.5.
• Dfference Hgh Lmt Alarm and Dfference Low Lmt Alarm
The MV activates an alarm when the difference between the values of two channels
goes above or below the set value. You can use this alarm on measurement channels
set to difference computation.
