4. Analog Data Reading
This chapter describes the minimum programming necessary for readouts of the analog data by 4AD.
Follow the procedure below to confirm that the analog data can be properly read out.
4.1 Procedure for Reading Out of Analog Data
1 Unit number check
When special function units/blocks, such as 4AD, are connected to the main unit (FX3UC Series
PLC), unit numbers will be sequentially assigned to the connected units/blocks starting from the
unit/block next to the main unit. Check the unit number assigned to 4AD.
2 Input mode (BFM #0) setting
Depending on the analog signal generator to be connected, set the input mode (BFM #0) for each
channel.
Use the hexadecimal numbers for input mode setting. Set the digit of the corresponding channel to
the input mode setting value specified in the following table:
→ For a detailed description of the standard input characteristics, refer to Section 2.4.
→ For a detailed description of the input mode (BFM #0), refer to Subsection 5.4.1.
