Voting for Three Analog Inputs

For a triplex input group with three inputs present, the GMR software compares three corresponding analog input values. It selects the intermediate value and places it into the voted inputs portion of the Analog Input Table.

The Duplex State and Default State are not used when three field inputs are available.

In the illustration above, inputs A, B, and C might represent the first input channel on each block in a three-block group. The PLC would place the selected input value into the first voted input word for that group.
