5.12 About the hand type
(1) Solenoid valve types and signal numbers
Set the parameters according to the type of solenoid valve being used, and the output signal being con-
nected.
The following details can be set.
a) Solenoid valve sink type/source type setting....................................... Parameter: HIOTYPE
Note) When this parameter is set, the hand input signal’s logic will be set to the sink type or source type at the
same time.
b) Solenoid valve single solenoid type/double solenoid type setting....... Parameter: HANDTYPE
c) Output signal number that drives solenoid valve................................. Parameter: HANDTYPE
The default settings assume that the sink double solenoid type solenoid valve is being used.
When using a different type of solenoid valve or when using the general-purpose output signals, change the
parameters shown in Table 5-12.
Table 5-12:Factory default parameter settings
Parameter name Value and explanation
HIOTYPE
Setting value at shipment: 1
Set the sink type/source type for the solenoid valve and sink type/source type for the
hand input signal logic.
1: Sink type
0: Source type
HANDTYPE
Setting value at shipment: D900,D902,D904,D906, , , ,
Set the single solenoid type/double solenoid type for the solenoid valve, and the output
signal number for driving the solenoid valve.
From the left, the values correspond to hand #1, #2, and so on. The default value is
shown below.
Hand 1 = accesses signals #900 and #901
Hand 2 = accesses signals #902 and #903
Hand 3 = accesses signals #904 and #905
Hand 4 = accesses signals #906 and #907
The hand numbers 1 through 4 (or 8) will be used as the argument in the hand open/close
instructions (HOpen or HClose).
<Setting method>
When a double-solenoid type is used, 'D' must be added in front of the signal number to
specify the number.
In the case of double-solenoid type, hand number will be from 1 to 4.
When a single-solenoid type is used, 'S' must be added in front of the signal number to
specify the number.
In the case of single-solenoid type, hand number will be from 1 to 8.
<Example>
* Each following is the example which connected the valve of customer preparation to the
general-purpose output signal with external wiring.
1) To assign two hands of the double-solenoid type from the general-purpose signal #10
HANDTYPE=D10,D12, , , , ,
2) To assign three hands of the double-solenoid type from the general-purpose signal #10
HANDTYPE=S10,S11,S12, , , , ,
3) To assign hand 1 to the general-purpose signal #10 as the single-solenoid type while
assigning hand 2 to the general-purpose signal #12 as the single-solenoid type
HANDTYPE=D10,S12, , , , ,
