7.1 Outline
7.1.1 Features
The KV-L2 Serial Interface Module is an interface module that controls communica-
tions between the KV-300 CPU and external units such as personal computers. It
has the following features.
Includes RS-232C and RS-422A communications ports.
The RS-232C port has a D-SUB 25-pin type. The other port, located on the terminal
block, is switchable between RS-422A and RS-232C.
Monitors operation status of the KV-300 CPU.
The KV-L2 monitors the operation status of the KV-300 CPU by reading the values
of data memory, relay contacts, counters, and timers from the KV-300 CPU.
Uploads and downloads Ladder programs.
Ladder programs can be transferred with the KV Ladder programming software (Ver.
2).
Allows 1:n connections.
Up to ten KV-300 CPUs can be connected to a single personal computer through
the KV-L2, allowing multi-drop connections. Multi-drop connections between KV-300
CPUs are also supported (in non-procedure mode).
Data can be fetched from external units.
Text data can be read into the KV-300 CPU data memory.
Allows direct connection of a display using a Host-Link protocol.

7.2.2 System Configuration
The following examples show KV-L2 system configurations in 1:1 and 1:n connec-
tion patterns. These examples also highlight the functional differences between
these connection patterns.
Connection to the KV-300 CPU
A maximum of two KV-L2s can be connected to the KV-300 CPU. The KV-L2s
should be installed at the right end of a system.
1:1 connection
Connect the KV-L2 to an external unit (such as a personal computer) through the
RS-232C or RS-422A ports.
Note: Use RS-232C communications for connections of up to 15 meters; use RS-
422A communications for connections of up to 500 meters.
1:n connection
Up to 10 KV-L2 modules can be connected to an external unit (such as a personal
computer) through the RS-422A port.

7.2.3 Outline of Operation Modes
The KV-L2 has three operation modes. The desired mode can be set with the DIP
switch.
KV mode
In KV mode, the KV-L2 permits serial communications and transmission/reception of
text data through the KV-300 CPU modular jack.
Through a connected PC, the statuses of the KV-300 can be monitored, stored data
can be read or updated, and data can be fetched from an external unit.
The data to be fetched from the external unit must have STX and ETX as separa-
tors.
Refer to "7.5.1 Operating in KV Mode" on page 1-253.
Display Interface mode
In display interface mode, the KV-L2 can control the KV-300 when used with
displays. Also, a connected personal computer can be used to monitor the KV-300
statuses and read or update stored data.
Refer to "7.6.1 Operating in Display Interface Mode" on page 1-270.
Non-procedure mode
In non-procedure mode, the KV-L2 allows transmission/reception of text data. The
data does not require STX and ETX separators, but does require CR or CRLF
separators.
Refer to "7.7.1 Operating in Non-procedure Mode" on page 1-292.

7.3 Installation
7.3.1 Setting the Operation Mode
Setting the operation mode
Turn off the power switch before setting the operation mode. Use the operation
mode setting switches A1 to A4 (SET A). A1 and A2 control the mode for port 1, and
A3 and A4 control the mode for port 2. (Ports 1 and 2 can be set independently.)
Setting port 2
Set port 2 to either RS-232C or RS-422A modes.
If port 2 is set to RS-232C mode and is connected to an external unit set to
RS-422A mode, the connected unit may be damaged.
When setting port 2 to RS-232C mode, set the TERMINATOR (terminal
resistor) to OFF.

Setting the TERMINATOR (terminal resistor)
Turn off the power switch before setting the TERMINATOR switch.
When using the RS-422A communications mode, set the TERMINATOR selection
switches of the KV-L2s at both ends of the connection cable to ON.
Set the TERMINATOR selection switches of any KV-L2s connected between the
leftmost and rightmost KV-L2s to OFF. If set to ON, normal communications will not
take place.
Note: When setting port 2 to RS-232C mode, set the TERMINATOR selection
switch to OFF.
Setting the station no.
When the RS-422A communications mode has been selected, a station no. must be
assigned to each KV-L2 to establish which KV-L2 is to communicate with the
external unit (personal computer). Turn off the power switch before setting the
station no.
Note 1: When the KV-L2 is set to RS-422A communications mode, set the TERMI-
NATOR (terminal resistor) to ON.
Note 2: Set the terminators of the modules connected in intermediate positions
(between the leftmost and rightmost KV-L2s) to OFF.
Note 3: Do not assign the same station no. to more than one module; otherwise,
data communication will be disrupted.

7.4 Software Setup
7.4.1 Using KV Software [KV IncrediWare (DOS)]
Starting KV IncrediWare (DOS) from the KV-L2
A personal computer, when connected to the KV-L2 of the designated station no.,
can transfer programs to multiple KV-300 CPUs and monitor their operations. To
use this function, change the environmental string as follows before starting the KV
IncrediWare (DOS).
SET KV-LNK=Y
By substituting Y with 0 or 1 to F, your personal computer can communicate with
KV-300 CPUs through the designated KV-L2 without requiring selection of the KV-
L2 station no.
Example
Starting KV IncrediWare (DOS)
C>SET KV-LNK=Y ENTER
C>MNU ENTER
Example
Starting KV IncrediWare (DOS) by using KV-L2 designated as station no.1
C>SET KV-LNK=1
C>MNU
Note: When KV-LNK is set to "Y", the KV IncrediWare (DOS) confirms the station
no. to be accessed whenever communication* is attempted. This permits frequent
changing of the station no. However, if KV-LNK is set to "1", for example, you can
change the station no. only after quitting KV IncrediWare (DOS) and resetting KV-
LNK to the desired number.
* "PC-Port" in the menu refers to the serial port on the KV-300 CPU, which is used
only for communication between the CPU and a computer. Ignore the L2 function
when using this port.
Setting the KV-L2 (in KV mode)
Set the KV-L2 station no. as follows.
Connect the personal computer to the KV-L2 using an RS-232C cable. Set the KV-
L2 connected to the personal computer station no. F. Connect the KV-L2 of station
no. F to other KV-L2s using the multi-drop method with RS-422A cables. Specify
station nos. 0 to 9 of the other KV-L2s.
Note: Use the station no. designated by the station no. selection switch on the KV-
L2.

7.5 KV Mode Programming
7.5.1 Operating in KV Mode
Communications protocol
In KV mode, the KV-L2 operates in the same manner as a KV-300 CPU performing
communications. Set the communications protocol to KV mode and connect the KV-
L2 to external units as described below.
Set the operation mode using the operation mode setting switch SET A (A1 to A4).
Use A1 and A2 to set the mode for port 1, and A3 and A4 to set the mode for port 2.
Turn off the power switch before setting the operation mode.
This table shows the communications protocol for KV mode. Refer to this table when
setting the communications parameters of the external unit to be connected.
When setting the external unit to be connected, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the unit.
When the module is set to KV mode, the communications protocol specified by the
communications protocol setting switch SET B is invalid.
Connecting to the KV-L2
I When using port 1
When connecting the KV-L2 to an external unit with an RS-232C port, connect the
RS-232C cable as shown in the following figures. Alternatively, use either a stan-
dard or null modem RS-232C connection cable (optional) to port 1 (RS-232C).

7.5.2 Serial Communications Procedure
The KV-L2 can be connected to a personal computer to read the current values and
set values of the counters and timers or the data memory values into the PC from
the KV-300 CPU for checking or updating.
Command transmission procedure
Commands are transmitted from a personal computer to the KV-L2 as follows:
Break signal
Upon receiving a break signal, the KV-L2 initializes its own communications buffer
and baud rate. The break signal should be transmitted only once before communica-
tion is initiated. The break signal need not be transmitted once communication is
successful.
The break signal must have the waveform shown below.
Note: Transmit the break signal for the first communication with a personal com-
puter after the KV IncrediWare (DOS) has been activated through a KV-L2 or KV-
P3E.
If transmission of the break signal fails, turn OFF the KV-300 CPU power switch to
initialize the communications program. Then begin communicating with the personal
computer.

Command and response
"Command" and "response" in communications between the KV-L2 and a personal
computer are defined as follows:
Command:
Message transmitted from a personal computer to the KV-L2
Response:
Response to the command transmitted from the KV-L2 to the personal computer
When a command is transmitted from the personal computer to the KV-L2, the KV-
L2 sends a response to the personal computer. When writing a program to be
controlled by the personal computer, be sure that the response from the KV-L2 is
confirmed before the next command is transmitted.
Command/response format
Command/response formats are as follows:
The personal computer transmits a command to the KV-L2 according to the com-
mand format. The KV-L2 recognizes CR as delimiter, and thus ignores the LF in the
CR LF command and identifies the subsequent characters as the command.
The KV-L2 returns a response to the command according to the response format.
When writing a program with a personal computer, verify that the response can be
handled according to the response format.
When the 1:n connection pattern is used, the personal computer communicates only
with the KV-L2 set to the specified station no. To communicate with a KV-L2 set to
another station no., terminate communications with the KV-L2 set to the specified
station no. and send a communication start command (CR_nn) in which the new
station no. is specified in "nn."

7.5.3 Transmission and Reception of Text Data
The KV-L2 can be connected to a device with an RS-232C or RS-422A port to load
consecutive text data (100 bytes maximum) as a batch into its data memory and to
send text data from data memory.
Assigning relay nos. and data memory address nos.
Specify the first relay no. of the internal relays and, from the assigned data memory
addresses (DM9700 to DM9707), specify the first DM no. of the data memory
addresses for transmission/reception of text data.
Port nos. and assigned DM nos.
Ports 1 and 2 access the assigned DM addresses shown in the following table.
I Designating the first relay no.
Five relay nos., including the first relay no., are assigned.
Specify the starting relay no. of the channel (the relay no. with "00" as the two
least significant digits) as the first relay no. Even if a relay in the middle of the
channel is designated as the first relay, the starting relay of the channel becomes
the first relay
Example: When specifying 1710 as the first relay no., relay nos. 1700 to 1704 are
assigned.
When 0000 is specified as the first relay no., the following relay nos. are as-
signed.
Designating the first DM no.
200 DM nos., including the first DM no., are assigned.
Duplicating DM nos. already used in the program will disable normal data transmis-
sion/reception.

Note 1: Two KV-L2s can be connected to the KV-300 CPU. The KV-L2s are defined
as No.1 and No. 2, counting from the module closest to the KV-300 CPU.
Note 2: The designated relays and DM addresses are set at startup of special utility
relay 2307.
Assigning relays
Five relay nos., including the first relay no., are assigned. The assigned relays have
the following functions.
1. First relay no. +0
Turns ON after data is loaded and transferred to data memory. It remains ON,
preventing data loading. Write a program to turn this relay OFF after the process is
completed. (Data is loaded while the relay is OFF.)
To fetch the ON signal only for one scan, add the following line to the end of the
program.
Turns ON and remains ON when the loaded data cannot be transferred to data
memory because the first relay no. +0 is ON when the data is received, or a parity
error has occurred (that is, first relay no. +2 was ON) during data reception.
When the data is loaded at startup, the first relay no. +1 turns OFF.
To fetch the ON signal only for one scan, change the program as shown in 1. First
relay no. +0, above.
Turns ON and remains ON when the data cannot be received because a parity error
has occurred during data reception. (The first relay +0 turned ON simultaneously.)
When the data is loaded at startup, the first relay no. +2 turns OFF when the first
relay no. +0 turns ON.
Turns ON when text data transmission starts. Automatically turns OFF after trans-
mission is completed. If it is forced OFF in the middle of a transmission, data
transmission is stopped immediately. Use the SET/RES instruction to turn the relay
ON/OFF.
The transmission/reception of text data is enabled while the special utility relay 2307
is ON.
Transmits a break signal of approximately 160 msec duration at startup. Automati-

Assigning data memory addresses
200 DM addresses, including the first DM no., are assigned.
The assigned DM addresses have the following functions.
I Number of data bytes
The number of bytes in the first DM no. +0 and the first DM no. +100 becomes a
binary value. Write the binary data using the LDA/STA instruction or DW instruction.
I Text data
Enter the text data in ASCII, by byte per DM. ("00" is entered in the 8 high-order bits
and ASCII code is entered in the 8 low-order bits.)
Write the text data using the LDA/STA instruction or DW instruction.
Transmitting Text Data
This section describes transmission of text data in non-procedure mode.
The KV-L2 can transmit to an external unit the text data written to the assigned data
memory addresses, one byte per data memory address, in ASCII.
Data transmission and internal data memory addresses
Before starting communications, write the data to be transmitted into data memory
addresses in the following format.
"00" is loaded to 8 high-order bits and text data is loaded to 8 low-order bits, in
ASCII, as follows.
Use the LDA/STA instruction or DW instruction to write data into data memory.

Use the SET/RES or KEEP instructions to turn the relay ON/OFF.
Note: Do not change the value of the text data (after the first DM +101) during
transmission, or an error will occur in the data being transmitted.
Receiving text data
The KV-300 CPU can write up to 100 bytes of text data contained between STX and
ETX into internal data memory addresses (DM9200 to DM9299), one byte per data
memory address in ASCII.
Receiving data format
Note that each piece of text data must include STX (02H) in the first byte followed by
the text (100 bytes max.) and ending with ETX (03H) in the last byte.
If transmitted text data includes ETX, the KV-L2 transfers the data up to immediately
before ETX to the data memory addresses. Text data after ETX is loaded as
separate data.
I Data memory addresses
The KV-300 can write received text data into the assigned data memory addresses,
one byte per data memory address, in ASCII.
00 is loaded to 8 high-order bits and text data is loaded to 8 low-order bits in ASCII
as follows.
The assigned utility relays turn ON only for the first scan when text data is loaded or
an error occurs.
I First relay no. +0
Turns ON after loading data and transferring it to the data memory addresses. It
remains ON, in which state data cannot be loaded. Write a program so that this relay
turns OFF after the process is completed. (Data is loaded while the relay is OFF.)

ASCII code/binary conversion function
Besides ASC and RASC instructions, the KV-300 CPU has a function to convert a
character string in ASCII code to a binary value, and vice versa. This function helps
simplify programs that convert text data to binary values or binary values to text
data.
ASCII to Binary conversion
1. All text data fetched at reception can be converted to binary data at one time. To
convert ASCII code to a binary value, use data memory addresses DM9600 and
DM9601 and special utility relay 2314 as follows.
I Special utility relay 2314
Special utility relay 2314 converts an ASCII string for the scan at startup and
transfers the converted data to data memory for the next scan.
For reception of a converted value, simplify the program by describing a loading
program prior to a conversion program through N.O. contact for 2314.
Refer to page 1-267.
I Data memory address DM9600
The DM address into which the ASCII string is to be written is specified in DM9600.
For example, when specifying the data loaded upon reception of text data, the first
DM address +1 selected during assignment of data memory addresses ( refer to
page 1-264) is written here.
The first DM address in which converted binary data is written is specified in
DM9601. The converted binary data uses three DM addresses, including the first
DM address described above.
Avoid using DM addresses already used by the program.
2. Set DM addresses to which ASCII code is to be written as follows.
DM****+0 ASCII code length (text data bytes)
DM****+1 First value of ASCII string (data 1 of text data)
: :
DM****+99 Last value of ASCII string (data 99 of text data)
2314 Turn ON to execute conversion (for first scan time).
DM9600 Write the first address of the data memory into which ASCII strings are to be
stored.
DM9601 Write the first address of the data memory addresses into which converted
binary values are to be written.

I ASCII code length
The number of text data bytes loaded during reception of text data is set here. For
example, when a 4-byte ASCII code [30H 31H 32H 40H] is received, [4] is set.
I ASCII string
Text data is input byte by byte in ASCII for each data memory address. Within data
memory addresses, "00" is loaded to the high-order 8 bits and ASCII code is loaded
to the low-order 8 bits. Refer to page 1-265.
3. The binary-converted value is loaded to data memory as follows.
I Binary
A binary value is input to 16 high-order bits and 16 low-order bits in data memory
addresses separately. Binary data that can be converted ranges from -2147483647
to 2147483647 in decimal.
A space (20H) in ASCII is converted to 0 in binary.
Negative numeric values are represented as a complement of two.
I Decimal position
The value of the decimal point represents the position of the data memory address in
which decimal point 2EH is stored, counting from the top of the ASCII string. For
example, if "38.5" is written to data memory as "33H 38H 2EH 35H" in ASCII, the
decimal point is in the third data memory position and "3" is set.
4. ASCII to binary conversion program
The following example shows a program that converts text data loaded at reception
of text data to binary form. The converted value is written to data memory addresses
starting from DM0000.
Binary to ASCII conversion
1. To convert a binary value to an ASCII string, use data memory addresses
DM9602 and DM9603 and special utility relay 2315 as follows.
Special utility relay 2315 converts binary data during the scan at startup and
program prior to a conversion program through N.O. contact for 2315.
DM****+0 Binary high-order 16 bits
DM****+1 Binary low-order 16 bits
DM****+2 Decimal point (0: None,1 to 99: DM position)

The DM address into which the converted ASCII data is written is specified in
DM9602. For example, when the text data to be transferred is specified, the first DM
address +101 designated when data memory addresses are assigned ( Refer to
Write the first address of the data memory to which the binary data to be converted
is to be loaded. Binary data to be converted uses five DM addresses, including the
first DM address described above. Avoid using DM addresses already used by the
program.
2. Set the DM address into which ASCII code is to be written as follows.
I Binary
A binary value be converted is input to 16 high-order bits and 16 low-order bits in
data memory addresses separately.
I Decimal position
Specifies the decimal position written in the ASCII string. If 0, no decimal point is
specified.
After conversion, the ASCII code for decimal point (2EH) is stored in the specified
position counting from the top of the ASCII string. For example, when the binary
value is 1234 and decimal position is 2, the specified value becomes 1.234, which is
31H 2EH 32H 33H 34H in ASCII.
I Number of bytes in ASCII string
Specify the total number of bytes, including binary digits, +/- sign, and decimal point.
For example, when a value is -12.34, "6" is written here.
I Signs
Specify the +/- sign to be appended to the converted value (from binary to ASCII).
The +/- sign is stored in the first DM address of the ASCII string.
0: No sign
No +/- sign is appended to the ASCII-converted value. "0" can be specified when the
binary value is positive. If "0" is specified when a binary value is a complement of
two, the binary is treated as a positive value.
1: - sign
Converts a binary value by giving -(2DH) when the binary value is a complement of
two. Adds no sign to a positive binary.
2: sign
Converts a positive binary by giving +(2BH) and a negative binary (complement on
two) by giving -(2DH).
DM****+0 Binary code high-order 16 bits
DM****+1 Binary code low-order 16 bits
DM****+2 Decimal position (0: None, 1 to 99: DM position)

7.6 Display Interfac e Mode Programming
7.6.1 Operating in Display Interface Mode
Communications protocols
In Display Interface mode, the KV-L2 can be connected to a host computer (PC) or a
display device to monitor DM values, present values, set values of counters, and
timers, as well as relay ON/OFF information on the KV-300 CPU. It can also be used
to call up screens for insertion of numeric values on the display device with a wire-
saving system and simplified programs.
To begin, set the communications protocol to link mode and connect the KV-L2 to
the display device as described below.
Turn OFF the power switch before setting the operation mode. Use the operation
mode setting switches A1 to A4 (SET A). A1 and A2 control the mode for port 1, and
A3 and A4 control the mode for port 2. (Ports 1 and 2 can be set independently.)
Set the operation mode setting switches A1 to A4 as shown above.
Setting the communications protocol
Set the baud rate, data bit length, parity, and stop bit using the SET B communica-
tions protocol setting switch accordance to the specifications of the display device.
Turn OFF the power switch before changing settings.

Note 1: Turn off the power switches before setting switches.
Note 2: Communications protocols for the modules to be connected must be identi-
cal; otherwise, communication will fail. For settings of external units to be connected,
refer to the operation manuals supplied with the respective units.
Note 3: For settings of the display device, refer to the Users Manual of your display
device.
Note 4: The communications protocols settings apply to both ports 1 and 2. The two
ports cannot be set to different protocols.
Communications control procedure
In Display Interface mode, the KV-L2 provides a special interactive communications
procedure, detailed below.
Communications procedure
In Display Interface mode, the host computer sends a command to the KV-L2 and
the KV-L2 automatically returns a response.
FCS (frame check sequence)
The FCS is a method of detecting communications errors. An 8-bit exclusive OR
from the top of the command or response up to the last character of the text is
converted into a 2-character ASCII code.

This example command indicates station number 1, header code WD (update data
memory), data memory start number as 1000 or 03E8 in Hex, data to write as 6500
or 1964 in Hex.
Example program
5 I = 0:FCS=0

15 I = I +1
20 FCS = FCS XOR (ASC(MID$(A$,I,1)))
30 IF I < LEN(A$) THEN 15
40 PRINT "FCS=";HEX$(FCS);"H"
This program automatically calculates the FCS value when you enter the text to the
PC with the keyboard and shows the result in display.
Note 1: Commands and responses begin with the station no. and header code and
end with the FCS and terminator.
Note 2: Up to 131 characters can be sent during a single transmission. To send a
command which has more than 131 characters, divide it into several segments and
send each of them sequentially.

7.6.2 Command and Response Format
The format for commands and responses is as follows.
Format used when sending a command of 132 characters or more
1. First transmission data (131 characters max.)
2. Intermediate data transmission (128 characters max.)
3. Last transmission data (128 characters max.)
Note 1: When a command is divided into several segments for transmission, the first
and intermediate segments end with the delimiter (CR) instead of the terminator.
Note 2: When dividing a write command such as WR, WL, WH, WC, and WD, into

7.7.4 Receiving Text Data
This section describes reception of text data in non-procedure mode. The KV-L2
fetches text data from an external unit into the KV-300 CPUs data memory.
Format of received data and data memory addresses
Text data of up to 100 bytes separated by the delimiter CR or CR LF can be written
into the assigned data memory addresses, one byte per data memory address, in
ASCII.
Reception data format
The KV-L2 can receive a maximum of 100 bytes of text data containing the delimiter
CR or CR LF in the last byte.
If transmitted text data includes CR, the KV-L2 transfers the data up to immediately
before CR to the data memory addresses. Text data after CR is loaded as separate
data.
Data memory addresses
The KV-300 can write received text data into the assigned data memory addresses,
one byte per data memory address, in ASCII.
00 is loaded to 8 high-order bits and text data is loaded to 8 low-order bits in ASCII
as follows.
The assigned utility relays turn ON only for the first scan when text data is loaded or
an error occurs.
Turns ON after loading data and transferring it to the data memory addresses. When
it remains ON, data cannot be loaded. Write a program so that this relay turns OFF

7.7.5 ASCII code/Binary Conversion Function
Besides ASC and RASC instructions, the KV-300 CPU has a function to convert a
character string in ASCII code to a binary value, and vice versa. This function helps
simplify programs that convert text data to binary values or binary values to text
data.
ASCII to Binary conversion
All text data fetched at reception can be converted to binary data at one time. To
convert ASCII code to a binary value, use data memory addresses DM9600 and
DM9601 and special utility relay 2314 as follows.
Special utility relay 2314 converts an ASCII string for the scan when it turns ON and
program prior to a conversion program through N.O. contact of 2314. ( Refer to
page 1-301.)
The DM address into which the ASCII string is to be written is specified in DM9600.
For example, when specifying the data loaded upon reception of text data, the first
DM address +1 selected during assignment of data memory addresses ( Refer to
The first DM address in which a conveted binary data is written is specified in
DM9601. The converted binary uses three DM addresses, including the first DM
address described above.
Avoid using DM addresses already used by the program.
Set DM addresses to which ASCII code is to be written as follows.
I ASCII code length
The number of text data bytes loaded during reception of text data is set here. For
example, when a 4-byte ASCII code [30H 31H 32H 40H] is received, [4] is set.
I ASCII string
Text data is input byte by byte in ASCII for each data memory address. Within data
memory addresses, "00" is loaded to the high-order 8 bits and ASCII code is loaded
to the low-order 8 bits ( Refer to page 1-298).
The binary-converted value is loaded to data memory as follows.
2314 Turn ON to execute conversion (for one scan time).
DM9600 Write the first address of the data memory into which ASCII strings are
to be stored.
DM9601 Write the first address of the data memory addresses into which converted
binary values are to be written.
DM****+0 ASCII code length (text data bytes)
DM****+1 First value of ASCII string (data 1 of text data)
: :
DM****+99 Last value of ASCII string (data 99 of text data)
DM****+0 Binary high-order 16 bits
DM****+1 Binary low-order 16 bits
DM****+2 Decimal point (0: None, 1 to 99: DM position)

DM9602 Write the first address of the data memory to which the converted ASCII
strings are to be stored.
DM9603 Write the first address of the data memory into which a binary value to be
converted is loaded.
I Binary
A binary value is input to 16 high-order bits and 16 low-order bits in data memory
addresses separately. Binary data that can be converted ranges from -2147483647
to 2147483647 in decimal.
A space (20H) in ASCII is converted to 0 in binary.
Negative numeric values are represented as a 2s complement.
I Decimal position
The value of the decimal point represents the position of the data memory address
in which decimal point 2EH is stored, counting from the top of the ASCII string. For
example, if "38.5" is written to data memory as "33H 38H 2EH 35H" in ASCII, the
decimal point is in the third data memory position and "3" is set.
I ASCII to binary conversion program
The following example shows a program that converts text data loaded at reception
of text data to binary form. The converted value is written to data memory addresses
starting from DM0000.
Binary to ASCII conversion
To convert a binary value to an ASCII string, use data memory addresses DM9602
and DM9603 and special utility relay 2315 as follows.
Special utility relay 2315 converts binary data during the scan when turning ON and
program prior to a conversion program through N.O. contact of 2315.
The DM address into which the converted ASCII data is written is specified in
DM9602. For example, when the text data to be transferred is specified, the first DM
address +101 designated when data memory addresses are assigned ( Refer to
Write the first address of the data memory to which the binary data to be converted
is to be loaded. Binary data to be converted uses five DM addresses, including the
first DM address described above. Avoid using DM addresses already used by the
program.

Set the DM address into which ASCII code is to be written as follows.
I Binary
A binary value be converted is input to 16 high-order bits and 16 low-order bits in
data memory addresses separately.
I Decimal position
Specifies the decimal position written in the ASCII string. If 0, no decimal point is
specified.
After conversion, the ASCII code for decimal point (2EH) is stored in the specified
position counting from the top of the ASCII string. For example, when the binary
value is 1234 and decimal position is 2, the specified value becomes 1.234, which is
31H 2EH 32H 33H 34H in ASCII.
I Number of bytes in ASCII string
Specify the total number of bytes, including binary digits, +/- sign, and decimal point.
For example, when a value is -12.34, "6" is written here.
I Signs
Specify the +/- sign to be appended to the converted value (from binary to ASCII).
The +/- sign is stored in the first DM address of the ASCII string.
0: No sign
No +/- sign is appended to the ASCII-converted value. "0" can be specified when the
binary value is positive. If "0" is specified when a binary value is a 2s complement,
the binary is treated as a positive value.
1: - sign
Converts a binary value by giving -(2DH) when the binary value is a 2s complement.
Adds no sign to a positive binary.
2: sign
Converts a positive binary by giving +(2BH) and a negative binary (2s complement)
by giving -(2DH).
The ASCII-converted value is loaded to data memory addresses as follows.
The number of DM addresses used is the value specified as the number of bytes in
the ASCII string.

7.8.2 Precautions
Environmental requirements
When installing the KV-L2, note the following:
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Avoid exposure to temperatures below 0C (32F) or exceeding 50C (122F).
Avoid exposure to humidity below 35%RH or exceeding 85%RH.
Avoid areas where condensation occurs due to sudden drops in temperature.
Avoid exposure to corrosive or flammable gases.
Avoid exposure to airborne dust, metal particles, oil, or corrosive substances
such as salt.
Avoid exposure to strong vibration or impact.
Avoid locations where water, oil, or chemicals may splash the KV-L2.
Avoid exposure to strong magnetic or electrical fields.
Panel installation
Consider accessibility and environmental resistance when installing the KV-L2 inside
a panel.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of the KV-L2 is 0 to 50C (32 to 122F) (No freez-
ing).
Provide enough space for proper ventilation. If the temperature exceeds 50C
(122F), provide a fan or air conditioner.
Improving noise resistance
Do not install the KV-L2 and high voltage equipment in the same control panel.
Isolate the KV-L2 as far as possible from power cables.
Access
Isolate the KV-L2 as far as possible from high voltage equipment and drive equip-
ment in order to ensure safe and easy access for adjustment and maintenance.

8.1 Outline
Features
The KV-AN6 has both A/D and D/A conversion functions. The A/D conversion
function converts analog input to digital data and stores the converted data in the
KV-300 CPU; the D/A conversion function converts digital data stored in the KV-300
CPU to analog output data for output devices.
A/D converter
Converts analog input to 16-bit binary data (digital data). (The effective bits are the
12 bits starting from the most significant digit.)
Three input ranges can be selected with a slide switch: -10 to +10 V (voltage), -5 to
+5 V (voltage), and 0 to 20 mA (current).
Each KV-AN6 module has 4 input channels.
D/A converter
Converts 16-bit binary data (digital data) to analog output. (The effective bits are the
12 bits starting from the most significant digit.)
Three output ranges can be selected with a slide switch: -10 to +10 V (voltage), -5 to
+5 V (voltage), and 4 to 20 mA (current).
Each KV-AN6 module has two output channels.
Note: As shown below, 12 bits of the 16-bit binary data, starting from the most
significant digit, are effective.

8.4 Programming
8.4.1 Input Characteristics (A/D)
On the KV-AN6, the analog input function converts analog signals from an external
unit to digital signals. The converted data is written into the assigned data memory
addresses at every scan time.
An external analog input signal can be set according to the input range, as shown in
the following table.
The selection switches in the above table are located on the right side of the KV-
AN6 ( Refer to page 1-319).
Voltage input
Current input
Through the A/D converter, analog input signals are written as binary data (16 bits)
into the assigned data memory addresses by channel ( Refer to page 1-324). The
effective bits are the 12 bits starting from the most significant digit.
When a signal beyond the setting range is input, it is converted to 7FFFH at positive
voltage and 8000H at negative voltage. For example, if +10 V is input when input
range is set to 5 V, it is digitally converted to 7FFFH.

8.4.2 Calculating Input Data (A/D)
The KV-AN6 converts analog input signals to 16-bit digital values and writes them
into data memory. (The effective bits are the 12 bits starting from the most signifi-
cant digit.)
This section describes how to convert the data stored in data memory into digital
data (in decimal) according to the input range.
Full scale and resolution of each range
The following table shows the full scale and resolution of each range.
Since the effective bits that are written into data memory are the 12 bits starting
from the most significant digit, resolution is 1/4000 of the full-scale value.
To calculate the input voltage value or input current value from the data written
into data memory, use the following expressions:
Input voltage = DM value/16 x Resolution of the input range
Input current = (32000 + DM value)/16 x Resolution of the input range
To convert a 16-bit DM value to an effective 12-bit value, divide the 16-bit value
by 16.
Example 1
When 19200 (in decimal) is written into DM addresses in the 10 V range
19200/16 x 5 mV = 6000 mV = 6 V
The KV-AN6 receives input of +6 V.
Example 2
When 12800 (in decimal) is written into DM addresses in the 5 V range
12800/16 x 2.5 mV = 2000 mV = 2 V
The KV-AN6 receives input of 2 V.
Example 3
When 16000 (in decimal) is stored in DM addresses in the 0-to-20 mA range
(32000 + 16000)/16 x 5 A = 15000 A = 15 mA
The KV-AN6 receives input of +15 mA.

8.4.3 Output Characteristics (D/A)
On the KV-AN6, the analog output function converts digital (binary) data to analog
external output signals. The digital data stored in data memory is converted to
analog data and sent to an output unit at every scan time.
The analog output signal can be set according to the input range as shown in the
following table.
The selection switches in the table are located on the right side of the KV-AN6.
Voltage output
Selection switch Description Range
Voltage output -5 to +5 V
-10 to +10 V
Connected to terminal for current output Current output 4 to 20 mA
(Analog output value)
Current output
Through the D/A converter, digital data stored in the assigned data memory ad-
dresses by channel (Refer to page 1-324) is output as analog signals. The effective
bits are the 12 bits starting from the most significant digit.
Note: A change in the value of the DM address from 7FFFH (32767) to 8000H
(32768) or vice versa means that the polarity is reversed when the voltage output is
selected, or that output drastically changes from the maximum value to the minimum
value or vice versa when the current output is selected. Use the program to maintain
output data within the specified range.

8.4.4 Calculating Output Data (D/A)
To output analog data, write the data into the analog output data memory ad-
dresses.
Calculate the numerical value to be written into data memory.
Voltage output
DM value = Output voltage/Output range resolution x 16
Current output
DM value = (Output current -12 [mA])/0.004 [mA] x 16
To convert a 16-bit DM value to an effective 12-bit value, multiply the 16-bit value
by 16.
Example 1
When +7.5 V is output in the 10 V range
7.5 V/5 mV x 16 = 24000
The DM value is 24000.
Example 2
When -5 V is output in the 5 V range
5 V/2.5 mV x 16 = 32000
Since the output voltage in this example is negative, set the result by subtracting
32000 from 0 as the DM value.
Example 3
When 18 mA is output in the 4-to-20 mA range
(18 mA - 12 mA)/0.004 x 16 = 24000
The DM value is 24000.

8.4.5 Assigning Data Memory (DM) Addresses
The data memory address assignment is predefined by each A/D and D/A
channel.
Analog input is converted to 16-bit digital data (in binary) and stored in the data
memory addresses assigned for the A/D conversion.
To convert analog data for output, write 16-bit digital data (binary) into the data
memory addresses assigned for the D/A conversion.
DM address assignment list
The KV-AN6 modules are numbered sequentially starting with the one closest to the
KV-300 CPU.

8.4.6 Reading Analog Input
The following example describes how to read analog input.
Example
This program reads data from analog input ch. 0 of the KV-AN6 module no. 1, and
writes positive data into DM0000 and negative data into DM0001. (The data value
up to the second decimal position is written.)
Input range of 10 V is used.
Input of +10 V is stored as 1000 into DM0000, and input of -10V is stored as 1000
into DM0001 (data value x 100).

9.3.4 Connecting External Instruments
Using the analog I/O terminal block, connect external instruments for analog input
and output. For details on how to wire terminals, refer to the "Analog I/O Terminal
Wiring Diagrams."
Wiring
Follow the procedure below to wire analog I/O.
The following describes how to wire the KV-AD4.
Use 2-core twisted pair cable for the analog signal cable.
When wiring the terminals, use rounded or forked crimp terminals of width
6 mm. Wiring terminals without crimp terminals is likely to result in faulty
contact, and prevent data from being transmitted correctly. Use M3.0
screws on the terminal blocks on the KV-AD4/DA4.
Wire the AC power cable and analog signal cable separately. Do not bundle
these cables together.
With the KV-AD4, connect the shielded cable to the input side, and with the
KV-DA4, connect to the load side.
Note: When mounting the KV-AD4/DA4 at a location that is likely to be influenced
by electrical noise, ground using a grounding resistance of 100 max.
1. If the KV-AD4 is already connected
to a KV-10 to 80 CPU, turn it OFF
and then disconnect it from the
CPU.
2. Remove the protective cover of the
analog input terminal block. Hold
the left and right sides of the cover
as shown in the figure, and lift up to
remove.
3. Attach the crimp terminals of the signal cable to the terminals.
Wire the cables correctly. Wiring the cables to the incorrect terminals may
result in malfunction.
Loosen the terminal screw with a
screwdriver, and then insert the
crimp terminal.
Then, firmly tighten the terminal
screw.
For details on wiring, refer to
"KV-AD4 Analog Input Terminal"
on page 1-346 and "KV-DA4
Analog Output Terminal" on
page 1-347.
4. Attach the cover to the analog input
terminal block.

9.3.6 Maintenance
This section describes how to inspect and clean the unit.
Inspection and Cleaning
I Inspection
Connectors become loose when a KV Series unit is used for a long time. If you
continue to use a KV Series unit with loose connectors, this may cause the unit
to malfunction.
For this reason, you must periodically inspect the unit and connectors.
Generally, inspect the following points:
Are connection parts disconnected or loose?
Are connectors disconnected or loose?
Are the terminal screws on the terminal block loose?
Are relays fused or their contacts faulty?
Are connector cables between units and instruments damaged?
I Cleaning
Dirt adheres to the CPU and other units when they are used continuously for a
long time. Clean off any dirt on these units with a clean cloth.
Before removing any dust or dirt from fine parts such as connectors, remove the
connector and then remove with a cotton swab.

9.4 Programming
9.4.1 Programming the KV-AD4
This section describes the A/D conversion mechanism, and the digital data that is
written to the CPU by the KV-AD4 after A/D conversion. It also describes how to
calculate actual voltage and current values based upon the digital data written to
CPU.
A/D Conversion Mechanism
This item describes the A/D conversion mechanism on the KV-AD4. Check this item
before writing sequence programs for the KV-AD4.
1. The analog signal (voltage or current) is input to the KV-AD4 from the external
instrument.
This operation is called "analog input."
2. The KV-AD4 converts the analog signal to digital data.
This operation is called "A/D conversion."
3. The KV-AD4 then writes the digital data to the data memory for A/D conversion
on the CPU.
Digital data is automatically written at each scan.
For details, see "About Digital Data after A/D Conversion" on the next page.
4. If necessary, the digital data is processed by the sequence program on the CPU.
The value of the actual input voltage or current can be calculated from the
digital data.
For details, see "Calculating Voltage and Current Values from Digital Data"on page 1-352.
The calculated values can be used for further processing besides the sequence program.
The digital data can also be output as analog data as it is.

About Digital Data after A/D Conversion
Data Memory to which digital data is written
The KV-AD4 converts analog signals that have been input from external instruments
to digital data, and writes this digital data to data memory for A/D conversion on the
CPU.
Data memory for A/D conversion on the CPU is used only when the KV-AD4 is
connected to the CPU. This memory can be used as regular data memory when the
KV-AD4 is not connected to the CPU. When the KV-AD4 is connected to the CPU,
this memory can be used only for A/D conversion and not for other applications.
Note: When the KV-AD4 is connected to the CPU, the conversion data is written at
each scan even if the channels on the KV-AD4 are not in use.
The address of the data memory to which digital data is written varies according to
the channel (terminal) to which the instrument for analog input is connected. The
following table shows the correspondence between channel and data memory.
Channel Data Memory

CH1
CH2
CH3
DM0992
DM0993
DM0994
DM0995
Digital data content
The numerical values of the digital data that is written to data memory for A/D
conversion are not obtained by simply converting actual voltage or current to binary
format. During conversion they are influenced by the input characteristics preset by
the user. The KV-AD4 voltage and input characteristics are as follows.
For example, when analog input is +5 V, 3000 will be written to the data memory
for A/D conversion. If the analog input is outside of the input range, 0 and 4095 are
written as the minimum and maximum values.

Calculating Voltage and Current Values from Digital Data
This item describes how to calculate the actual input voltage or current values
(decimal) from the digital data written to data memory for A/D conversion as a result
of A/D conversion. Executing this calculation in the sequence program allows the
calculated voltage or current values to be used in other processes in the program.
The voltage and digital data conversion tables are shown in "9.4.3 A/D and D/A Conversion Tables"
on page 1-357. Sample programs are provided under "9.5 Programming Examples" on page 1-359.
How to calculate analog input voltage
Analog input voltage (mV) =
(digital data x resolution (5 mV)) - offset value (10000)
Example
When digital data value 3800 (decimal) is written to data memory
(3800 x 5 (mV)) - 10000 = 9000 (mV) = 9 (V)
This indicates that an analog value of 9 V was input to the KV-AD4.
How to calculate analog input current
Analog input current (mA) =
(digital data x resolution (4 A)) + offset value (4000)
Example
When digital data value 3800 (decimal) is written to data memory
(3800 x 4 (A)) + 4000 = 19200 (A) = 19.2 (mA)
This indicates that an analog value of 19.2 mA was input to the KV-AD4.
Resolution
"Resolution" refers to the minimum analog input value by which digital data can be
changed. For example, 5 mV is the resolution of input range -10 to +10 V. This
indicates that the digital data in memory changes when the analog input value
changes by at least 5 mV. The digital data in memory will not change if the analog
input value changes by only 4 mV.
Why is the resolution 5 mV, 4 A?
Only the upper 12 bits of digital data are written to data memory. The maximum
value that can be expressed in 12 bits is expressed as 4095 in decimal (approxi-
mated to 4000). Accordingly, 1/4000 of the input range full scale (FS) is taken as the
resolution on the KV-AD4/DA4. For example, the resolution of input range -10 to +10
V can be calculated as follows:
20000 (mV) 4000 = 5 (mV)
Full scale of input range -10 to +10 V is 20 V (20000 mV).

This section describes the D/A conversion mechanism, how to convert the voltage
and current values to digital data for analog output, and how to output this digital
data as analog data from the KV-DA4.

1. The voltage or current value to be output to external instruments is converted to
digital data by the sequence program on the CPU.
For details, see "Converting Digital Data to Voltage or Current Values to be Output" on page 1-
354.
2. The digital data on the channel to be converted is written to the data memory for
D/A conversion by the sequence program.
For details, see "Converting Digital Data to Voltage or Current Values to be Output" on page 1-
354.
3. The special utility relay for D/A conversion of the channel to be converted to
analog data is set to ON.
The special utility relay for D/A conversion acknowledges the request at the
rising edge of the relay.
For details, see "Writing Digital Data to Data Memory for D/A Conversion" on page 1-356.
The D/A conversion instruction is transferred to the KV-DA4.
4. KV-DA4 converts the digital data to analog voltage or current signals.
This operation is called "D/A conversion."
5. The analog signals are output to the external instrument from the KV-DA4.
This operation is called "analog output."

Converting Digital Data to Voltage or Current Values to be Output
To output digital data as analog data, the voltage and current values that are to be
output from the KV-DA4 are first converted to the corresponding digital data by the
sequence program, and written to the data memory for D/A conversion. Voltage and
current values cannot be written to the data memory for D/A conversion as they are.
For details on the voltage/digital data conversion tables, see "9.4.3 A/D and D/A Conversion Tables"
on page 1-357. For details on sample programs, see "9.5 Programming Examples" on page 1-359.
For details on data memory for D/A conversion, see "9.4.3 A/D and D/A Conversion Tables" on page
1-357.
Note: When making a sequence program, take care not to exceed the output range
(0 to 4095). If a value exceeding this range is written to the data memory for D/A
conversion, unsteady values will be output from the KV-DA4.
How to calculate digital data when outputting analog voltage
Digital data = (output voltage (mV) resolution (5 mV)) + offset value (2000)
Example
When outputting +7.5 V
(7500 (mV) 5 (mV)) + 2000 = 3500
Write "3500" to D/A conversion memory.
Next, turn ON the special utility relay for D/A conversion.

How to calculate digital data when outputting analog current
Digital data = (output current (A) resolution (4 A)) - offset value (1000)
Example
When outputting 18 mA
(18000 (A) 4 (A)) - 1000 = 3500
Write "3500" to data memory for D/A conversion.
Next, turn ON the special utility relay for D/A conversion.
Resolution
"Resolution" refers to the minimum analog output value by which digital data can be
changed. For example, 5 mV is the resolution of output range -10 to +10 V. This
indicates that the analog output changes by 5 mV when the value of the digital data
changes by 1.
Digital data content
The KV-DA4 voltage and current output characteristics are as follows.
For example, the digital data for outputting +5 V is 3000.

Writing Digital Data to Data Memory for D/A Conversion
This section describes how to write digital data after it has been converted from the
voltage or current to be output to data memory for D/A conversion on the CPU.
Data memory for D/A conversion on the CPU and special utility relays for D/A
conversion are used only when the KV-DA4 is connected to the CPU. This data
memory and special utility relays can be used as regular data memory and relays,
respectively, when the KV-DA4 is not connected to the CPU. When the KV-DA4 is
connected to the CPU, this data memory and special utility relays can be used only
for D/A conversion and not for other applications. If data memory for D/A conversion
and special utility relays for D/A conversion are used for other applications, this may
cause the KV-DA4 to malfunction .
The following table shows the correspondence between channels, data memory and
special utility relays for D/A conversion.
To output digital data as analog data, the digital data to be analog-output is first
written to data memory for D/A conversion, and then the special utility relays for D/A
conversion is turned ON matching the channel from which digital data is to be
output.
Note 1: The CPU transfers the data on the rising edge of the special utility relays for
D/A conversion. So, analog output will not change while the special utility relays for
D/A conversion stays ON.
Note 2: KV-DA4 outputs voltage 0V and current 4 mA when the power is turned ON.
Note 3: In the case of voltage output, set 0 V (digital data value 2000) and set the
special utility relays for D/A conversion to ON for each channel in use before the
data in data memory for D/A conversion is changed.
-10 to 0 V (less than digital data value 2000) will be output only when 0V (2000) is
set. Otherwise, -10 to 0 V will not be output.
Note 4: Leave unused terminals open at all times. KV-DA4 has voltage and current
output modes, and outputs preset data from both terminals at all times.
Note 5: The voltage and current of the same channel No. cannot be used simulta-
neously.

9.5 Programming Examples
This section describes sample programs for the KV-AD4/DA4. Refer to this section
when making programs for the KV-AD4/DA4.
Calculating Analog Data Values from Digital Data
This sample program reads A/D-converted digital data from memory, and calculates
the value of the actual analog-input voltage.
Conditions
The analog input data from analog input V0 on the KV-AD4 is calculated.
(The digital data of data memory DM0992 is used for this operation.)
When the calculated value is a positive value, an absolute value is written to
memory DM0100, and when the calculated value is a negative value, an absolute
value is written to memory DM0101. Data is written in mV units.
For example:
When the input is +10 V, "10000" (data x 1000) will be written to DM0100.
When the input is - 10 V, "10000" (data x 1000) will be written to DM0101.
Ladder diagram
1. The data of DM0992 is calculated, and the calculation result (data x 5 mV -
10000) is written to DM0000.
2. The KV-AD4 judges that the DM0000 data is positive or negative by comparing
DM0000 with $8000. (When the MSB of DM0000 is OFF, the data is judged to
be positive, and when it is ON, the data is judged to be negative.)
3. If the data is a positive value, the calculation result is written to DM0100.
4. If the data is a negative value, the 2s complement of the data is calculated to
change its sign to a positive sign, and the result is written to DM0101.
Note: "2007" (first scan OFF at power ON) must be set as the input condition. In
the case of analog input, an unsteady value will be input for the first scan when the
power is turned ON.

Example 1: Inputting Analog Voltage (-10 to +10 V)
The analog input data from analog input V0 on the KV-AD4 is calculated.
(The digital data of data memory DM0992 is used for this operation)
The calculated data is written to DM0000. (If the calculated value is a negative
value, 2s complement is written.) Data is written in mV units.
For example:
When the input is +10V, "10000" (data x 1000) will be written to DM0000.
When the input is -10V, "-10000 (#55536)" (data x 1000) will be written to
DM0000.
1. The data of DM0992 will be calculated, and the calculation result (data x 5 mV -
10000) will be written to DM0000.
Note: "2007" (first scan OFF at power ON) must be set as the input condition. In the
case of analog input, an unsteady value will be input for the first scan when the
power is turned ON.
Example 2: Inputting Analog Current (4 to 20 mA)
The analog input data from analog input I0 on the KV-AD4 is calculated.
The calculated data is written to DM0000. Data is written in A units.
For example:
When the input is 4 mA, "4000" (data x 1000) will be written to DM0000.
When the input is 20 mA, "20000" (data x 1000) will be written to DM0000.

Writing Data to be Analog-output
This sample program calculates the value of the voltage to be output, and writes the
digital data to the data memory for D/A conversion. Data that has been written to the
data memory for D/A conversion is output as analog data.
Conditions
Data that has been written to DM0000 is converted to digital data for analog
output.
The digital data is sent to analog output V0 on the KV-DA4.
(Digital data is written to data memory DM0996.)
+7.5 V is output when input 0000 is ON.
-7.5 V is output when input 0001 is ON.
Ladder diagram
1. DM0996 is initialized when the power is turned ON.
(That is, #2000 is written to DM0996.)
2. #7500 (7.5 V) is written to DM0000.
3. (DM0000 5 mV + 2000) is calculated when input 0000 is ON, and the calcula-
tion result is written to DM0001.
4. (2000 - (DM000 5 mV)) is calculated when input 0001 is ON, and the calcula-
5. Before the digital data is written to data memory for D/A conversion, check that
the data is #4095 or less.
Note: An unsteady value will be output if a value outside the range 0 to 4095 is
written to data memory for D/A conversion.
6. The output data will be updated at the rising edge of special utility relay 2800.

Outputting Analog Input from a Pressure Sensor to an Air Valve
This sample program outputs analog inputs (1 to 5 V) from a pressure sensor to an
air valve (4 to 20 mA).
Conditions
Analog input data is input from analog input V0 on the KV-AD4.
The data that was input from analog input V0 is converted, and output to analog
output I0 on the KV-DA4. (The digital data is written to data memory DM0996.)
When the input data in DM0992 is a low value, the output current is decreased.
When input data in DM0992 is a high value, the output current is increased.
Input data 1 V (#2200) in DM0992 is converted to output data 20 mA (#4000) in
DM0996.
Input data 5 V (#3000) in DM0992 is converted to output data 4 mA (#0000) in
DM0996.
Ladder diagram
1. The data of DM0992 is calculated, and the calculation result ((DM0992 - 2200) x
5 mV) is written to DM0000.
2. (4095 - DM0000) is calculated, and the calculation result is written to DM0001.
Note 1: "2007" (first scan OFF at power ON) must be set as the input condition. In
the case of analog input, an unsteady value will be input for the first scan when the
power is turned ON.
Note 2: In the case of current output, DM0996 need not be initialized (#2000 written
to DM0996) when the power is turned ON.

Reference Example When the Input Voltage Exceeds the Expected Range
When the input voltage is 5V or more (DM0992 #3000), #3000 is forcibly written to
the original data (DM0100).
When the input voltage is 1V or less (DM0992 #2200), #2200 is forcibly written to
the original data (DM0100).
1. When the data of DM0992 is greater than #3000, #3000 is written to the original
data (DM0100).
2. When the original data of DM0992 is greater than #2200 but smaller than #3000,
the input data is written to the original data (DM0100) as it is.
3. When the data of DM0992 is smaller than #2200, #2200 is written to the original
data .
4. The data of DM0100 is calculated, and the calculation result ((DM0100 - 2200)) x
5 mV) is written to DM0000.
power is turned ON.
Setting the Minimum and Maximum Voltage Limits and Measuring the
Average Voltage
This sample program sets the minimum and maximum voltage limits to be analog-
input, and measures the average voltage at the 1000th analog input. Averaging
1000 inputs cancels any erroneous input due to electrical noise, etc.
Conditions
Analog input data is input from analog input V0 on the KV-AD4.
The accumulated and average values are calculated.
The maximum voltage limit is set to +5 V (#3000). When the maximum voltage
limit is exceeded, output 500 is turned ON for two seconds.
The minimum voltage limit is set to -5 V (#1000). When the minimum voltage limit
is exceeded, output 501 is turned ON for two seconds.
The minimum and maximum measurement values are calculated.
Note: In the following example, A/D-converted digital data is processed. For details
on how to convert the digital data to a voltage value, refer to "Inputting Analog
Voltage (-10 to +10 V) on page 918."

1. The initial settings are made.
2. The value of input data (DM0992) is written to measurement value (DM0004),
and measurement count (DM0008) is incremented by one.
3. Measurement values are accumulated (DM0004), and written to accumulated
values (DM0009 and DM0010). When the lower bit of the accumulated value
(DM0010) overflows (2009 turns ON), "1" is added to the upper bit of accumu-
lated value (DM0009).
4. When measurement count (DM0008), and accumulated values (DM0009 and
DM0010) are divided by average count (DM0003) to calculate average value
(DM0007). By this operation, relay 502 is turned ON to indicate completion of the
average value measurement, and measurement count (DM0008), and accumu-
lated values (DM0009 and DM0010) are reset.
5. When average value (DM0007) exceeds maximum limit setting (DM0001),
internal relay 1000 switches ON, and relay 500 switches on for two seconds to
indicate the maximum limit error.
When average value (DM0007) falls below minimum limit setting (DM0002),
internal relay 1001 switches ON, and relay 501 switches on for two seconds to
indicate the minimum limit error.
6. If average value (DM0007) becomes a value other than the initial setting (#0000),
maximum average value (DM0005) and minimum average value (DM0006) are
overwritten with the average value.
7. Average value (DM0007) is compared with maximum average value (DM0005),
and the maximum average value is overwritten if the average value is greater.
8. Average value (DM0007) is compared with minimum average value (DM0006),
and the minimum average value is overwritten if the average value is smaller.
