Function Blocks
Indirect square root
Indirect Square Root signal conversion takes the square root of the value computed with the
indirect signal conversion and scales it to the range and units of the PV and OUT parameters.
When the converted input value is below the limit specified by the LOW_CUT parameter, and
the Low Cutoff I/O option (IO_OPTS) is enabled (True), a value of zero is used for the converted
value (PV). This option eliminates false readings when the differential pressure measurement is
close to zero and it may be useful with zero-based measurement devices such as flowmeters.
Note
Low Cutoff is the only I/O option supported by the AI block. Set the I/O option when the block is
OOS.
Block errors
Tab le lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR parameter. Conditions in bold are inactive for
the AI block and are given here for reference.

Number Name and description
0 Other
1 Block Configuration Error: the selected channel carries a measurement that is
incompatible with the engineering units selected in XD_SCALE, the L_TYPE parameter is
not configured, or CHANNEL = zero.
2 Link Configuration Error
3 Simulate Active: Simulation is enabled and the block is using a simulated value in its
execution.

7 Input Failure/Process Variable has Bad Status: The hardware is bad, or a bad status is
being simulated.
8 Output Failure: The output is bad based primarily upon a bad input.
