Frequently Asked Questions

Thumbwheel Switch Topic: Display + and - Only

 

FAQ No. FAQ02164

 

Question

 

Is it possible to display only '+' and '-'?
 


Answer

Yes, it is possible.

Models with binary-coded decimal (06 models) are available that display "+, -, +, -. . ." rather than "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . 9".

The models are the A7[]-206-PM and A7[]-206-PM-1.

 

Example:


A7BS-206-PM Thumbwheel Switch

 

A7BS-206-PM Thumbwheel Switch

Output Code:


The signal between output terminal 1 and the COM terminal of the Thumbwheel Switch is used as the binary code.
