Extended Processing FCM
The Extended Processing FCMs perform mathematical functions on data gathered
over an extended period of time. These FCMs provide information for historical,
long-range evaluation of a process, rather than for direct operational control.
This section describes the active runtime fields on the following extended
processing FCM templets. See below for common runtime fields.
• Continuous Moving Average FCM
• Standard Deviation FCM
• Non-Rate Periodic Total FCM
• Periodic Average FCM
• Periodic Maximum FCM
• Periodic Minimum FCM
• Periodic Rate Total FCM
Common Fields
INITIAL MODE Field
This parameter specifies if the output mode of the FCM is set at MAN (manual) or
AUTO.
INITIAL OUTPUT Field
This parameter specifies the result of the FCM calculations and can be changed if
the output mode is manual. There are no state values nor state mnemonics available
for TCL for this parameter.
BAD INPUTS ACCEPTED? Field
This field specifies the data qualities acceptable for the input signal to the FCM and
the action to take if the data quality becomes unacceptable. Valid entries are:
YES GOOD and BAD are acceptable data qualities
