4. Setting the parameter "n"
Set a proper value according to the logic (positive or negative) of the PLC and the logic (positive or negative) of the
seven-segment display unit as shown in the table below:
PLC output logic
Negative logic
Positive logic
5. Explanation of the parameter "n" setting method according to an actual example
When the following seven-segment display unit is selected, "n" should be "1" when one display unit is connected (4
digits × 1 set) or "5" when two display units are connected (4 digits × 2 sets).
1)
Transistor output of PLC
- Sink output = Negative logic
- Source output = Positive logic
2)
Seven-segment display unit
- Data input = Negative logic
- Strobe signal = Positive logic
