5 Create a sequence program.
To change the input characteristics, write the offset data (BFM #41 to #44) and the gain data (BFM
#51 to #54) in the sequence program, and then turn on the corresponding bit of BFM #21 for the
corresponding channel. The following example shows a program for the unit number 0.
Example: Program for changing the input characteristics of channels 1 and 2 (For FX3U, FX3UC Series
PLCs):
*1. It takes approximately 5 seconds to change the input mode (BFM #0). This is because all the set
values should be changed.
After changing the input mode, be sure to wait for 5 seconds or more before setting other data.
The input characteristics of each channel can be written in BFM #21. It is also possible to perform
batch writing of input characteristics for two or more channels.
6 Transfer the sequence program to change the input characteristics.
Transfer the sequence program, and start the PLC.
Start the PLC, and turn on the command (X000) to write the input characteristics. In approx. 5 sec-
onds, the offset data and the gain data will be written.
Since the offset data and the gain data are stored in the 4AD EEPROM, it is possible to delete the
sequence program.
7 Read out the analog data to check the data.
Create the following program to check the stored data (For FX3U, FX3UC Series PLCs):
→ If data is not stored properly, refer to Chapter 8 "Troubleshooting".
