Analog Input Function Blocks AIFB1 and AIFB2

The two AIFBs are identical, but completely independent of each other. They utilize the output from the Level Transducer Block.

You set parameters for each AIFB in order for it to apply any required quality checks, scaling, and Fail-safe Operation selections.

AIFB1

The output of Analog Input Function Block 1 supplies the measured value and associated status information as a digital signal to two communication channels:

via the mA Output Block to a 4 to 20 mA channel

to the HART digital channel, as the HART Primary Variable. This can only be viewed via the HART digital channel.

AIFB2

The output of Analog Input Function Block 2 supplies the measured value and associated status information as a digital signal to the HART digital channel, as the HART Secondary Variable. This can only be viewed via the HART digital channel.
