HOW TO USE THE
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
4.5 Speed Alarm (F3/F4)
The H8PS Cam Positioner allows the speed alarm function to be allocated to an output in addition to its
capability to display the speed.
Since "speed alarm (upper limit)" and "speed alarm (lower limit)" are allocated to different outputs, this
function can be used in conventional ways to meet the requirements for various applications.
Thanks to this feature, one H8PS Cam Positioner unit can be used for applications where previously a
rotation meter would have had to be installed separately or a PLC would have been used to process the
data.
● Speed Alarm outputs
■ Output Allocation
The speed alarm output is allocated to the designated cam number as
shown in the table below.
In the default setting, the speed alarm output is not allocated.
However, if any value (0 to 1600 (800)) other than "---" is set for the
speed alarm value, the normal ON/OFF program (including angle
advance setting) of the corresponding cam number is disabled.
(Even in this case, the program of the corresponding cam number is
not cleared.)
Speed alarm output allocation
1. Setting only an upper or lower limit is allowed.
2. The speed alarm can be set independently for each bank.
