6. Changing Input Characteristics
For the 4AD, the standard input characteristics are provided for each input mode (BFM #0) at the time of
factory shipment.
Changing the offset data (BFM #41 to #44) or gain data (BFM #51 to #54), however, can change the input
characteristics of each channel. This chapter describes how to change the input characteristics.
6.1 Procedure for Changing Input Characteristics
1Determine the input mode (BFM #0)
Determine the optimum input mode (BFM #0) for the selected channels and the voltage/current
specifications.
Example: Enter "HFF00" in BFM #0 to set input mode 0 for channels 1 and 2 and prevent use channels 3 and
4.
Caution regarding data setting:
If a channel is set to the value "2", "5", "8" or "F", the input characteristics of the channel cannot be
changed.
Set the optimum input mode for the analog signal to be input.
Set value
(HEX) Input mode Analog input range Digital output range
0Voltage input mode -10V to +10V -32000 to +32000
1Voltage input mode -10V to +10V -4000 to +4000
2Voltage input analog value direct indication

3Current input mode 4mA to 20mA 0 to 16000
4Current input mode 4mA to 20mA 0 to 4000
5Current input analog value direct indication

6Current input mode -20mA to +20mA -16000 to +16000
7Current input mode -20mA to +20mA -4000 to +4000
8Current input analog value direct indication
