3.10.1 Evaluation cases
An evaluation case defines which output field is evaluated in which way and on which output
it acts. With the LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty you can configure up to ten evaluation cases, the
LMS5xx Lite allows up to four evaluation cases. All configured evaluation cases are active
simultaneously.
For each evaluation case you configure in SOPAS ET:
inputs that activate an evaluation case, if necessary
the evaluation strategy
the evaluation field
the output on which the evaluation case acts
the response time of the output
PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, EVALUATION CASES.
Inputs
If the evaluation case is not to be permanently active, then you can configure an input
combination to activate the evaluation case.
Important An input combination can also be defined for several evaluation cases, e.g. two evaluation
cases will then be active simultaneously.
Although the LMS5xx Lite has two inputs, only IN1 can be used for the field evaluation.
