& Data Type

 

 

 

 

 

 

FunctOp

The FunctOp is used to determine the result that will be returned by the

 

 

Constant

SW8A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numeric

Function

 

 

 

 

 

Code

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

Returns the state of the signal at the time the instruction is

 

 

 

 

executed. A 0 is stored for low and a 1 is stored for high.

 

 

 

1

Returns the duty cycle of the signal. The result is the

 

 

 

 

percentage of time the signal is high during the scan interval.

 

 

 

2

Returns a count of the number of positive transitions of the

 

 

 

 

signal.

 

 

 

 

 

3

Returns a value indicating the condition of the module:

 

 

 

 

positive integer:

 

ROM and RAM are good

 

 

 

 

negative value:

 

RAM is bad

 

 

 

 

Zero:

 

ROM is bad

 

 

StartChan

The first

channel that should be read on the SW8A. If the Reps parameter is

 

 

Constant

greater than 1, measurements will be made on sequential channels.

 

 

Mult, Offset

A multiplier and offset by which to scale the raw results of the measurement. See

 

 

Constant,

the measurement description for the units of the raw result; a multiplier of one and an

 

 

Variable,

offset of 0 are necessary to output in the raw units. For example, the TCDiff

 

 

Array, or

instruction measures a thermocouple and outputs temperature in degrees C. A

 

 

Expression

multiplier of 1.8 and an offset of 32 will convert the temperature to degrees F.

 

6.2 Edlog Programming

Instruction 102, Table 5, is used to address and retrieve information from the

SW8A.
