5.51 ROC Function Block
Description
The ROC label stands for Rate of Change. This block is part of the Auxiliary category. It looks like this
graphically on the Control Builder.
Dynamic Parameters:

Parameter Index Type Use R/W Description
status 0 REAL C R block status
hi_rc 1 BOOL O R ON if rate > setpoint, else OFF
lo_rc 2 BOOL O R ON if rate < setpoint, else OFF
rate 3 REAL O R Rate of Change in EU/min
IN 4 REAL I R Analog Input
Static Configuration Parameters:
