Inputs and Outputs
Data Conversion
An I/O block that supports analog inputs reads currents or
voltages at its input channels, scales and converts the inputs
to real values in engineering units, then reports the input val-
ues to the Harmony controller. The block provides channel sta-
tus information along with each reported input.
High and low level inputs are converted to the proper engineer-
ing units based on input type and engineering unit high and
low value specifications. Thermocouple and RTD inputs are
converted to the proper engineering units (degrees C or degrees
F) using predefined conversion tables for each type of thermo-
couple and RTD supported.
