APPENDIX 6. Enhanced ARITHMETIC
(AR) BLOCK
The Arithmetic (AR) block switches two main inputs
of different measurement ranges seamlessly and
combines the result with three auxiliary inputs
through the selected compensation function (10
types) to calculate the output.
For the METHOD of AR block, read APPENDIX
10.2 “Enhanced AR Block.”

Figure A6.1 AR Block
The Arithmetic block is divided into three sections:
• Input section: Makes a go/no-go decision on the
use of an input value, switches the range, and
determines the PV status.
• Computation section: Makes calculations
through ARITH_TYPE.
• Output section: Applies gain multiplication and
bias addition to the calculated result to perform
limitation processing for output.
* The range extension function compensates the
IN and IN_LO input values when two devices with
different ranges are connected, to make smooth
input switching.
