Multiple Analog Output block
The Multipler Analog Output block forces up to eight electrical output signals between 0 mA and
20 mA,–5 V and 5 V or –10 V to 10 V depending upon the wiring and DIP switch setting of the
connected SFC446 module. The output current or voltage of
Point x
is directly proportional to the
IN_x
value, see Table 5-9.
Fig. 5-9 Schematic diagram of the Multiple Analog Output block
Procedure
1 In the fieldbus view, right click on the Multiple Analog Output block
MAO-X Device Tag
and
select
Off Line Characterization
. The Characterization dialog opens.
– Press the
ALL
button in the toolbar to display all parameters
2 Expand the
MODE_BLK
node and set the Target Mode to Auto
–
Select the
Target
node then click the
Edit
button
–
Select
Auto
from the drop-down menu, click
End Edit
to confirm the selection
–
Click
Close
to leave the dialog.
3 Set
CHANNEL
to the input connected to the block as defiined in Section 5.3.1
–
Select
CHANNEL
, then click the
Edit
button
–
Enter the CHANNEL value (Rack+Slot+Group+
9
)
–
Click on
End Edit
4 If you want to set fault values for the signal do it as follows:
–
Open each parameter with
Edit
and click
End Edit
after the parameter has been set
–
Select
FSTATE_TIME
and enter a delay between fault recognition and block reaction
–
Select
MO_OPS
and check all inputs where a fault values will apply,
check the appropriate inputs where this fault value is to be used on start-up
–
Select the
FAULT_VALX
parameter of each input checked, and enter the fault value.
5 Repeat the process for all inputs to MAO blocks.
Properties
The MAO block forces the output signals shown in Table 5-8. The type of output is determined by
the wiring (current or voltage) and DIP switch (Range end value 5 VDC or 10 VDC)
