6.6.5 Calculating the output signal
If the output signal is not assigned to any CAN message (the entry for this is located in the module tree
under the node "Without CAN-bus message"), the signal can be devised to correspond to a calculation.
For this purpose, functions are provided which can also be applied to the virtual channels (see the
chapter "Virtual Channels "). When an analog output signal is removed from a CAN-message, then by
default, the function "Fixed analog value" is assigned to it. However, a different function can be selected.
In the following example, the 3rd output is set to take the fixed value 0 V.

The example below demonstrates how an rpm-value in the range –6000RPM to +6000RPM is read into
the CAN-bus and outputted at DAC05.
The dialog shows the corresponding CAN-bus settings:
