DEADTIME Structure
Input Parameter Data Type Description
EnableIn BOOL Enable input. If false, the instruction does
not execute and outputs are not updated.
Default is true.
In REAL The analog signal input to the instruction.
Valid = any float
Default = 0.0
InFault BOOL Bad health indicator for the input. If the
input value is read from an analog input,
then InFault is controlled by fault status on
the analog input. If true, InFault indicates
the input signal has an error, the instruction
sets the appropriate bit in Status, the control
algorithm is not executed, and Out is held.
Default is false.
false = good health
Deadtime REAL Deadtime input to the instruction. Enter the
deadtime in seconds. If this value is invalid,
the instruction assumes a value of zero and
sets the appropriate bit in Status.
Valid = 0.0 to (StorageArray size * DeltaT)
Default = 0.0
Gain REAL Gain input to the instruction. The value of In
is multiplied by this value. This allows
simulation of a process gain.
Valid = any float
Default = 1.0
Bias REAL Bias input to the instruction. The value of In
multiplied by the Gain is added to this value.
This allows simulation of an ambient
condition.
Valid = any float
Default = 0.0
TimingMode DINT Selects timing execution mode.
0 = Period mode
1 = oversample mode
2 = real time sampling mode
Valid = 0 to 2
Default = 0
For more information about timing modes,
see Function Block Attributes.
OversampleDT REAL Execution time for oversample mode.
Valid = 0 to 4194.303 seconds
Default = 0
RTSTime DINT Module update period for real time sampling
mode
Valid = 1 to 32,767ms
Default = 1
RTSTimeStamp DINT Module time stamp value for real time
sampling mode.
Valid = 0 to 32,767ms
Default = 0
