5.4 Details of Buffer Memories
5.4.1 BFM #0: Input mode specification
Initial value (at delivery): H0000
Numeric data type: Hexadecimal (H)
Specify the input modes of channel 1 to 4.
Hexadecimal numbers are preliminarily assigned to 4 digits to specify the input modes of 4 channels.
Change the set number of each digit to change the input mode of each channel. 0 through 8 and F can be set
for each digit.
Various types of input modes are shown in the following table:
→ For a detailed description of input characteristics, refer to Section 2.4.
*1. The offset/gain values cannot be changed.
1. Cautions regarding input mode setting
• If the input mode is set (changed), the analog input characteristics will be automatically changed. In
addition, if the offset/gain value is changed, the characteristics can be set to the desired value. (The
resolution cannot be changed.)
• If the analog value direct indication (*1) is specified, the offset/gain value cannot be changed.
• It takes approximately 5 seconds to determine the input mode. For this reason, after changing the input
mode, be sure to wait for 5 seconds or more, and then write the other data.
• HFFFF (use of no channels) cannot be set.
2. Caution regarding EEPROM writing
If data is set in BFM #0, #19, #21, #22, #125 to #129, or #198, the data will be written in the EEPROM of 4AD.
The maximum number of EEPROM rewritable times is 10,000 times. When creating a program, therefore, do
not frequently write data in the above buffer memories (BFM).
