OUT_D
Discrete output of the AI function block based on the detection of
process alarm condition(s). This parameter may be linked to other
function blocks that require a discrete input based on the detected alarm
condition.
VAR_SCAN
Time period in seconds over which the variability index (VAR_INDEX) is
computed.
VAR_INDEX
Process variability index measured as the integral of average absolute
error between PV and its mean value over the previous evaluation period.
This index is calculated as a percent of OUT span and is updated at the
end of the time period defined by VAR_SCAN.
J.9 Configure the AI block
A minimum of four parameters are required to configure the AI block. The parameters
are described below with example configurations shown at the end of this section.
