Analog I/O Module Tag Definitions
Ch[x].LowSignal
REAL
Signal value that lets you scale signal units (V, mA) into
Engineering Units.
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].LowEngineering
tag. That is,
this tag’s value is scaled to the lowest Engineering Unit.
For more information on how Signal values correspond to
Engineering values, see
Any value that is less than the
C.Ch[x].HighSignal
tag value.
•
Current input type: 4.0 mA =
default
•
Voltage input type: -10.0V=
default
Ch[x].HighSignal
REAL
Signal scaling value that lets you scale signal units (V, mA)
into Engineering Units.
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].HighEngineering
tag. That is,
this tag’s value is scaled to the highest Engineering Unit.
For more information on how Signal values correspond to
Engineering values, see
Any value that is greater than the
C.Ch[x].LowSignal
tag value
•
Current input type: 20.0 mA =
default
•
Voltage input type: 10.0V=
default
Ch[x].LowEngineering
REAL
Low engineering scaling point
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].LowSignal
tag value.
For more information on how Signal values correspond to
Engineering values, see
0.0 = default
(In voltage applications, default =
C.Ch[x].LowSignal
tag value)
Ch[x].HighEngineering
REAL
High engineering scaling point
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].HighSignal
tag value.
For more information on how Signal values correspond to
Engineering values, see
100.0 = default
(In voltage applications, default =
C.Ch[x].HighSignal
tag value)
Ch[x].LLAlarmLimit
REAL
Low Low Process Alarm limit
Triggers the
I.Ch[x].LLAlarm
tag when the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag
value is less than this tag’s value.
0.0 = default
Ch[x].LAlarmLimit
REAL
Low Process Alarm limit
Triggers the
I.Ch[x].LAlarm
tag when the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag
value is less than this tag’s value
0.0 = default
Ch[x].HAlarmLimit
REAL
High Process Alarm Limit
Triggers the
I.Ch[x].HAlarm
tag when the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag
value is greater than this tag’s value.
100.0 = default
Ch[x].HHAlarmLimit
REAL
High High Process Alarm Limit
Triggers the
I.Ch[x].HHAlarm
tag when the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag value is greater than this tag’s value.
100.0 = default
Ch[x].AlarmDeadband
REAL
Deadband that keeps Process Alarms triggered as long as
the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag value remains within the deadband of
the Process Alarm’s value
Any non-negative value
0.0 = default
