Function Specification

Function Description
Free-Run Refreshing With this I/O refreshing method, the refresh cycle of the NX bus and I/O refresh cycles of
the NX Units are asynchronous.
CT Allocation This function is used to assign each CT input to a corresponding control output.
Reading CT Currents This function reads CT inputs as heater currents or leakage currents.
Heater Burnout Detection This function detects heater burnouts. A heater burnout is detected if the control output is
ON and the heater current is equal to or less than the heater burnout detection current.
SSR Failure Detection This function detects SSR failures. An SSR failure is detected if the control output is OFF
and the leakage current is equal to or greater than the detection current. An SSR failure
is a failure that is caused by an SSR short-circuit.
Time-proportional Output This function controls a control output by using the manipulated variable from the host
controller as a duty ratio. You can also specify the minimum pulse widths and execute
immediate output commands.
Load Rejection Output
Setting
This function performs a preset output operation when the Heater Burnout Detection Unit
cannot receive an output set value due to a communications error between the host and the
Communications Coupler Unit or due to an error on the NX bus.
Load Short-circuit
Protection
This function is used to protect the output circuits of the Heater Burnout Detection Unit
when an external device short-circuits. This function is supported only by the NX-HB3201.
