10.6.5 Mathematical functions
In addition to "real" process values, which are provided by connected physical sensors or
analog inputs, mathematical functions can be used to calculate a maximum of 6 "virtual"
process values.
The "virtual" process values can be:
• Output via a current output or a fieldbus
• Used as a controlled variable
• Assigned as a measured variable to a limit switch
• Used as a measured variable to trigger cleaning
• Displayed in user-defined measuring menus
Difference
You can subtract the measured values of two sensors and use the result to detect incorrect
measurements, for example.
To calculate a difference, you must use two measured values with the same engineering
unit.

Redundancy
Use this function to monitor two or three sensors with redundant measurements. The
arithmetic average of the two closest measured values is calculated and output as the
redundancy value.

You can select a maximum of 3 different types of
sensor that output the same measured value.
Example for temperature redundancy
You have a pH sensor and an oxygen sensor at
inputs 1 and 2. Select the pH sensor as Y1 and
the oxygen sensor as Y2 item. Measured value:
In each case Temperature item.
