How an Analog Input Function Block works
The AIFB provides a linear conversion to any desired units.
1. The AIFB Input value is the processed output value of the Transducer Block, in Transducer
Block units.
2. The user selects the desired AIFB output units and scaling is applied.
3. Damping may be applied based on a time constant provided by the user. See Damping
(Page 239) for details.
4. The status of the input value from the Transducer Block is checked. If the status is Bad, a
Fail-safe condition occurs. The output is determined by the setting for Failsafe Mode.
5.
allows the entire AI block to be overridden by a Manual Output value.
See
for details.
6. The value is checked against the user-defined warning and alarm limits. The upper and lower
limits are defined in units corresponding to the Output range, and a limit hysteresis can be
used to adjust the sensitivity. See
Alarms and Warnings (2.6.7.)
for details.
7. The output value (OUT) is communicated via cyclic data transfer.
