Maximum / MAX
Function Returns the highest value of all inputs.
For example, in control technology, continuous positioning signals are often
calculated using mathematical functions. These functions are defined for the entire
set of real numbers, while positioning signals are typically valid only for a subset of
numbers, for example, 0 to 100 percent.
You can use the MAX icon to define the minimum output value to a signal. If, for
example, a function outputs a value below 0, you can use MAX to select either the
function output or 0, whichever is higher.
I/O Dialog Box
Excel Web / Excel Web II
Inputs Two through six (Excel Web / Excel Web II: thirty two) analog inputs. Minimum two
inputs.
You can enter the first input as a parameter (engineering unit index number and
value, not for XL Web).
Output One analog output (Y).
Internal Parameters None.
Parameter Number
Descriptions None.
Example See Positioning Signal Limitation in the Examples chapter for an application that
uses the MIN and MAX icons to limit an output signal.
Also see the Duty Cycle (DUC) section. You can use MAX to calculate an input
value for highest zone temperature.
