Resource block
There are no linkable inputs or outputs to the Resource block.
Analog-Input Block
Figure 5-16. Analog-Input Block
The AI function block processes field device measurements and makes them available to other
function blocks. The output value from the AI block is in engineering units and contains a status
indicating the quality of the measurement. The measuring device may have several
measurements or derived values available in different channels. Use the channel number to
define the variable that the AI block processes and passes on to linked blocks. For further
information refer to Appendix C: Analog-Input Block.
For more information on the different function blocks refer to Appendix C: Level Transducer
Block, Appendix C: Register Transducer Block, Appendix C: Advanced Configuration Transducer
Block, Appendix C: Resource Block, and Appendix C: Analog-Input Block.
Function blocks
The following function blocks are available for the Rosemount 5400 Series:
Analog Input (AI)
Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID)
Control Selector (CSEL)
Output Splitter (OSPL)
Signal Characterizer (CHAR)
