Monitoring and Operating the Controller 
216  UDC3500 Universal Digital Controller Product Manual  3/07 
4.13  Input Math Algorithms 
Introduction 
This controller has two input algorithms available, some that are standard on any 
instrument with two or more analog inputs and some that are available as part of the 
Math option. Each algorithm can be configured to provide a derived (calculated) PV or a 
derived Remote Setpoint. Up to three inputs may be applied to the calculation. In 
addition, the two algorithms may be “linked” to combine two calculations by configuring 
one algorithm to be an input to the other algorithm. 
Standard functionality 
The following algorithms are provided as standard on all instruments with two or more 
analog inputs:  Weighted Average, Feedforward Summer, Feedforward Multiplier, or 
Relative Humidity. 
Math Options 
The Math option provides additional algorithms plus two Characterizers, Totalizer, and 
Polynomial functions. 
Input algorithm selections 
Algorithm selections are made in Section 3 – Configuration. The following function 
prompts can be found in the Algorithm Set Up group:
