General Purpose Constants
Each Innova tion Series prod uct provides thr ee general purpose c onstants. Th e
general purpose const ants allow users to place constan t values in device variables.
The general purpose con stants are particularly useful in configuring diagnosti c
functions.
Function inputs
The following table specifies the input parameters of the General Purpose Constants
function.
Parameter Description
GP Constant 1 User defined constant 1
GP Constant 2 User defined constant 2
GP Constant 3 User defined constant 3
Function outputs
The following table specifies the output variables of the General Purpose Constants
function.
Variable Description
GP Constant 1 User defined constant 1
GP Constant 2 User defined constant 2
GP Constant 3 User defined constant 3
Function description
The General Purpose Constants function sets the general purpose constant output
variables equal to the general purpose constant input parameters:
GP Constant 1 = GP Constant 1
GP Constant 2 = GP Constant 2
GP Constant 3 = GP Constant 3
The units of the general p urpose constants are determin ed by their use. For example,
if one of the constants is used as a comparison level in a diagnostic function such as
an SLD, the implied unit s of the constant are the internal control units of the signal
against which the compar ison is made. The units of the gener al purpose constant are
not necessarily the display units of the comparison signal. For more information on
the difference between display units and internal con trol units, see the Language and
Units Presentation function help.
