2.18 DEWP Function Block
Description
The
DEWP
label stands for
Dewpoint
Calculation. This block is part of the
Calculations
category. It looks
like this graphically on the Control builder.
Function
Monitors Dewpoint or Carbon Potential, or uses a Zirconia Probe sensor input to supply a Dewpoint PV to
a PID function block for Dewpoint control. Use in conjunction with other blocks including a PID to
generate more elaborate control strategies than that provided by the Carbon potential (CARB) function
block.
Inputs
Probe
= Oxygen Sensor Input from AI (0-2 mV)
TEMP
= Temperature Input (
°
F or
°
C) from AI Input
%CO
= Percent Carbon Monoxide Input 1 - 100%
Outputs
DEWPT
= Calculated Dewpoint Output
%C
= Calculated Percent Carbon Output
SPHLIM
= Control Setpoint High Limit for Anti-soot.
WRLIM
= Command to write the setpoint high limit.
LOTEMP
= ON when TEMP is <= calculated low temperature dropoff.
Block Properties
Double click on the function block to access the
function block properties dialog box.
Block Order (Read Only)
You can change the assigned execution order
number by selecting “Execution Order” in the
“Configure” menu and arrange the order to suit
your control strategy.
