Inverted : This option inverts the "High" level for the channel into the OFF state (No
current flow between the two output terminals) at the output and vice versa.
4.7 Configuring software channels
Refer also to Settings for all dialogues
Software channels are calculations or functions that are performed within the
device. In previous device families from
Delphin , such channels were also called
virtual channels. Any number of channels can be created. This is a standard fea-
ture of the device.
Display the Software channels in the context menu (DataService tab Channels ).
You can then either create a Channel group (e.g. Analogue channels in the
example) to group together created channels, or select one of the available chan-
nel operations. The context menu contains all available calculations and functions.
Alternatively, software channels can be created via the context menu of a hard-
ware channel as
Create dependent channel. In contrast to creation via Software
channel , the source channel is already selected within the dialogue and the chan-
nel is (initially) located directly under the hardware channel. Following creation,
the user-defined view enables channels to be moved and grouped differently.
Another option enables the linking of a channel. The original channel remains in
the original position, but creates in another location an entry that is linked to this
channel.
Linking channels
From the Options of the DataService Configurator, select Move/link channels . In
the user-defined view ( View
→
Right/left panel
→
Channel sheet options ) move or
link a channel by left-clicking and holding. Further information is available in the
manual to
DataService Configurator .
Further configuration is similar to module channels. Specific settings for each func-
tion are explained in the sections here. General information on dialogs is available
in
Settings for all dialogues .
4.7.1
Adder
This software channel adds together all values from the specified source channel:
Adder = adder + new value
Reset : When enabled, the calculated sum is output only in the case of a reset event
and then reset internally to zero. When not enabled, the sum is output for each
each new value from the source channel.
Refer also to Trigger options .
Generate intermediate values : When enabled, results are also output between
reset events immediately following their calculation, (without being reset to zero).
