Monitoring Application with a Single Selection
Example: Average exhaust temperature of gas and turbine where there is a
single alarm level for all inputs.
1. Link the MAI outputs to the ISEL inputs.
2. Place the Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block in OOS mode
(set MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS).
3. Set CHANNEL= “channels 1 to 8.” Although the CHANNEL_X
parameters remain writable, CHANNEL_X can only be set = X when
CHANNEL=1.
4. Set L_TYPE to direct or indirect.
5. Set XD_SCALE (transducer measure ment scaling) to the appropr iate
upper and lower range values, the appropriate sensor units, and
display decimal point.
6. Set OUT_SCALE (MAI output scaling) to the appropriate upper and
lower range values, the appropria te sensor units, and display decimal
point.
7. Place the MAI function block in auto mode.
8. Place the Input Selector (ISEL) function block in OOS mode by
setting MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS.
9. Set OUT_RANGE to match the OUT_SCALE in the MAI block.
10. Set SELECT_TYPE to the desired function (Maximum Value,
Minimum Value, First Good Value, Midpoint Value, or A verage Value).
11. Set the alarm limit s and parameters if necessary.
12. Place the ISEL function block in auto mode.
13. Verify that the function blocks are scheduled.
Measuring Temperature Points Individually
Example: Miscellaneous monitoring of temperat ur e in a “clo se pro xim ity”
where each chann e l can ha ve diffe r en t sen so r inp uts with differ en t un its and
there are independen t alarm levels for each input.
1. Place the first Analog Input (AI) function block in OOS mode (set
MODE_BLK.TARGET to OOS).
2. Set CHANNEL to th e ap pr o pr iat e cha n ne l valu e. Refer to “Ala rm
Priority Levels” on page 3-11 for a listing of channel definitions.
3. Set L_TYPE to direct.
4. Set XD_SCALE (transducer measure ment scaling) to the appropr iate
upper and lower range values, the appropriate sensor units, and
display decimal point.
5. Set OUT_SCALE (AI output scaling) to the appropriate upper an d
lower range values, the appropria te sensor units, and display decimal
point.
6. Set the alarm limits and parameters if necessary.
7. Place the AI function block in auto mode.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each AI function block.
9. Verify that the function blocks are scheduled.
