The integration threshold value calculation works with a cyclic comparison of the integrated 
current value with the last stored value. The calculation cycle in which the two values are 
compared is 500 milliseconds. 
 (Note: The calculation cycle must not be confused with the scan cycle of the CPU memory 
areas). 
The deviations of the current process value are totaled in each calculation cycle. The trigger 
is set only when the totaled value reaches the configured value of the threshold value trigger 
and a new process value is entered in the send buffer. 
The method is explained based on the following example in which a threshold value of 2.0 is 
configured.

value 
0.5    20.3  +0.3  0.3 
With the changes in the process value shown in the example, the threshold value trigger 
configured with 2.0 fires twice: 
●  At the time 3.5 s: The value of the integrated deviation is at 2.0. The new process value 
stored in the send buffer is 20.5. 
●  At the time 6.0 s: The value of the integrated deviation is at 2.1. The new process value 
stored in the send buffer is 19.9. 
In this example, if a deviation of the process value of approximately 0.5 should fire the 
trigger, then with the behavior of the process value shown here a threshold value of 
approximately 1.5 ... 2.5 would need to be configured. 
 
Analog value preprocessing 
CPs with data point configuration support analog value preprocessing. For analog value data 
points, some or all of the functions described below can be configured.
