4-5-2 How to Use the Multi-SP Function

The multi-SP function allows you to set up to four set points (SP 0 to 3) in the

adjustment level. The set point can be switched by operating the keys on the

front panel or by using external input signals (event inputs).

Using Event Inputs Event inputs can be used if the Controller supports the event input function

and if the “number of multi-SP uses” parameter is set to 1 or 2.

■ Number of Multi-SP Uses = 1

■ Number of Multi-SP Uses = 2

Note Event inputs can be used on E5@N-@@@B@ Controllers. Turn the event

inputs ON or OFF while the E5AN is turned ON. Event input ON/OFF changes

are detected for inputs of 50 ms or longer.

Using Key Operations You can select any of the set points 0 to 3 by changing the set value of the

“multi-SP uses” parameter. The “multi-SP uses” display conditions are as fol-

lows:

• If the Controller does not support event inputs, the “multi-SP uses” param-

eter must be set to ON.

• If the Controller supports event inputs, the “number of multi-SP uses”

parameter must be set to 0 and the “multi-SP uses” parameter must be

set to ON.

The following table shows the relationship between the “multi-SP uses”

parameter set value and the selected set point.

Note The set point can also be switched using communications.
