Quick Start Guide
Multiple analog input (MAI) function block
The MAI block processes up to eight field device measurements and makes the
output available to other function blocks. The output value of the MAI block is in
engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of the
measurements. Use the channel number to define the variables that the MAI
block processes. At a minimum, verify the parameters of the MAI block in Table 3.
Note
To make changes to the MAI block, the BLOCK_MODE (TARGET) must be set to OOS (out of
service). Once the changes are made, return the BLOCK_MODE TARGET to AUTO.
Input Selector (ISEL) function block
The ISEL block processes up to eight field device measurements and makes the
output available to other function blocks. The output value of the ISEL block is in
engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of the
measurements. Use the select type to define the selection method the ISEL block
processes. At a minimum, verify the parameters of the ISEL block in Ta bl e 4.
Note
To make changes to the MAI block, the BLOCK_MODE (TARGET) must be set to OOS (out of
service). Once the changes are made, return the BLOCK_MODE TARGET to AUTO.
