INPUT SELECTOR
FUNCTION BLOCK The Input Selector (ISEL) function block can be used to select the first good,
Hot Backup, maximum, minimum, or average of as many as eight input
values and place it at the output. The block supports signal status
propagation. There is process alarm de tection in the Input Selector function
block. Table D-6 lists the ISEL block parameters and their descriptions, units
of measure, and index numbers. The block execution time is 30 ms.
IN (1-8) = Input
DISABLE (1-8) = Discrete input used to
disable the associated input channel
SELECTED = The selected
channel number
OUT = The block output and status
OUT_D = Discrete output that signals a
selected alarm condition

Table D-6. Input Selector Function Block Parameters
Number Parameter Units Description
1ST_REV None The revision level of the static data associated with the input selector block. The
revision value will be incremented each time a static parameter value in the block
is changed.
2TAG_DESC None The user description of the intended application of the block.
3STRATEGY None The strategy field can be used to identify groupings of blocks. This data is not checked
or processed by the block.
4ALERT_KEY None The identification number of the plant unit. This information may be used in the host for
sorting alarms, etc.
5MODE_BLK None The actual, target, permitted, and normal modes of the block.
Actual: The mode the “block is currently in”
Target: The mode to “go to”
Permitted: Allowed modes that target may take on
Normal: Most common mode for target
6BLOCK_ERR None This parameter reflects the error status associated with the hardware or software
components associated with a block. It is a bit string, so that multiple errors may
be shown.
7OUT OUT_RANGE The primary analog value calculated as a result of executing the function block.
8OUT_RANGE EU of OUT The engineering units code to be used in displaying the OUT parameter and
parameters which have the same scaling as OUT.
9 GRANT_DENY None Options for controlling access of host computers and local control panels to operating,
tuning, and alarm parameters of the block. Not used by device.
10 STATUS_OPTS None Allows the user to select options for status handling and processing.
