Reference Functions and TLOG Functions
The function below are used to retrieve measured values and alarm values. The
functions are not case sensitive. For the format used to specify the <channel>, <alarm
level>, and <manual>, see “Procedure” in this section.
Function Description Example
ch(<channel>) Returns the current value of the specified channel ch(00001)/ch("Tag")
(see “Channel Number” under “Explanation” in this
section)
prech(<channel>) Returns the previous value of the specified channel prech(00001)/
(see “Channel Number” under “Explanation” in this prech("T
ag")
section)
alarm(<channel>, Returns the alarm value of the specified channel and alarm(00001,2)/
<alarm level>) specified alarm level, ON=1, OFF=0 alarm("Tag",2)
alarm(<channel>) Returns the alarm value of the specified channel, alarm(00001)/
ON=1, OFF=0 alarm("Tag")
alarm() Returns the alarm value of any channel, alarm()==1 ?
ON=1, OFF=0 StartRec() : 0
tlogmax(<channel>) Returns the maximum value of the TLOG computation tlogmax(00001)/
of the specified channel tlogmax("Tag")
tlogmin(<channel>) Returns the minimum value of the TLOG computation tlogmin(00001)/
of the specified channel tlogmin("Tag")
tlogpp(<channel>) Returns the (maximum value
– minimum value) of tlogpp(00001)/
the TLOG computation of the specified channel tlogpp("Tag")
tlogsum(<channel>) Returns the sum of the
TLOG computation of the tlogsum(00001)/
specified channel tlogsum("Tag")
tlogave(<channel>) Returns the average value of the TLOG computation tlogave(00001)/
of the specified channel tlogave("Tag")
ManualDO Returns the values being output on the specified ManualDO(1)
(<manual>) ManualDO.
ManualAO Returns the values being output on an user output ManualAO(1)
(<manual>) channel.
*1 The TLOG computation computes the maximum, minimum, maximum
–minimum, sum, and
average values of the specified channel. If the TLOG function is present in the equation, the
computation is executed
*2 The reference function or TLOG function returns NaN in the following cases.
•
When the data to be referenced by the CH function or PRECH function does not exist
(when disconnected or immediately after starting the monitor operation)
• When the specified channel does not exist or when the specified alarm level is not 1, 2, 3,
or 4.
•
If the MX100 returns an INVALID value
*3 Select the behavior taken when the value of the measurement channel is ±Over from the
following:
• Continue the calculation as ±Over (behavior when the check box is not selected)
• Continue the calculation by setting ±Over to the maximum or minimum value of the
measurement range of the specified channel.
The selection is made using the Calculate +Over/–Over as the MAX/MIN value of a range
check box.
