AI OUT

OUT=The block output value and status

OUT_D=Discrete output that signals a selected alarm condition

The Analog Input (AI) function block processes field device measurements and makes them available to other function blocks. The output value from the AI block is in engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of the measurement. The measuring device may have several measurements or derived values available in different channels. Use the channel number to define the variable that the AI block processes and passes on to linked blocks. For further information refer to Appendix J: Analog-Input Block.

For more information on the different function blocks refer to Appendix F:

Level Transducer Block, Appendix G: Register Transducer Block,

Appendix H: Advanced Configuration Transducer Block, Appendix I:

Resource Transducer Block and Appendix J: Analog-Input Block.
