Multiple Discrete Output block
The Multiple Discrete Output block forces the electrical outputs of the connected relay output
module SFC428, SFC432, SFC435 or SFC438 to "True/1" or "False/0" according to the value of
IN_Dx
, which must be "0" or "1". If signal inversion is required, the Discrete Output block must be
used.

Procedure
1 In the fieldbus view, right click on the Multiple Discrete Output block
Device Tag-MDO-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+
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_VALDX
parameter of each input checked, and enter the fault value.
5 Repeat the process for all MDO blocks.
Properties
The MDO block forces all output signals as shown in Table 5-9. NO (Normally open) and NC
(normally closed) is the state of the relay when power is not applied.
