Analog-Input Block
Figure 5-17. 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, see Appendix I: Analog-Input Block.
For more information on the different function blocks, see Appendix E: Level Transducer Block,
Appendix F: Register Transducer Block, Appendix G: Advanced Configuration Transducer Block,
Appendix H: Resource Block, and Appendix I: Analog-Input Block.
