Analog Output Functions and Operating Procedures Section 4-6
4-6-3 Output Hold Function
The Analog Output Unit stops conversion under the following circumstances
and outputs the value set by the output hold function.
1,2,3... 1. When the Conversion Enable Bit is OFF. Refer to Allocations for Normal
Mode on page 147 and 4-6-2 Starting and Stopping Conversion.
2. In adjustment mode, when something other than the output number is out-
put during adjustment. Refer to Allocation for Adjustment Mode on
page 148.
3. When there is an output setting error. Refer to Allocations for Normal Mode
on page 147 and 4-6-4 Output Setting Errors.
4. When a fatal error occurs at the PLC.
5. When there is an I/O bus error.
6. When the CPU Unit is in LOAD OFF status.
7. When there is a WDT (watchdog timer) error in the CPU Unit.
CLR, HOLD, or MAX can be selected for the output status when conversion is
stopped.
The above values may fluctuate if offset/gain adjustment has been applied.
To specify the output hold function, use a Programming Device to set the DM
Area words D(m+2) to D(m+9) as shown in the following table. (DM Area
words D(m+2) to D(m+5) for the CS1W-DA041.)
For the DM word addresses, m = D20000 + (unit number x 100).
