Analog Output block
The Analog Output block is fully configurable and provides characterization for the outgoing signal.
The
OUT
value is scaled with the
PV_SCALE
and
XD_SCALE
parameters.
Fig. 5-7 Schematic diagram of Analog Output block
Procedure
1 In the fieldbus view, right click on the Analog Output block
Device Tag-AO-n
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+Slot)
–
Click on
End Edit
4 Expand
PV_SCALE
and set the parameters according to the input signal.
–
EU_100 is the upper range limit of the input signal, e.g. 100
–
EU_0 is the lower range limit of the input signal, e.g. 0
–
UNIT_INDEX is the unit of the input signal, e.g. %
–
DECIMAL is the number of figures behind the decimal point for displays
In each case click the
Edit
button, enter or select parameter , then click on
End Edit
5 Expand
XD_SCALE
and set the parameters according to the signal output by the I/O module
–
EU_100 is the upper range limit of the output signal, e.g. 20
–
EU_0 is the lower range limit of the output signal, e.g. 4
–
UNIT_INDEX is the unit of the output signal, e.g. mA
–
DECIMAL is the number of figures behind the decimal point for displays
In each case click the
Edit
button, enter or select parameter , then click on
End Edit
6 Repeat the process for all inputs to AO blocks
