Function Blocks
If the OP_SELECT is set to a value between 1 and 8, the selection type logic is overridden and the
output value and status is set to the value and status of the input selected by OP_SELECT.
SELECTED will have the number of selected input unless the SELECT_TYPE is mid, in which case
it will take the average of the two middle values. Then SELECTED will be set to “0” if there is an
even number of inputs.
Status handling
In Auto mode, OUT reflects the value and status quality of the selected input. If the number of
inputs with Good status is less than MIN_GOOD, the output status will be Bad.
In Man mode, the OUT status high and low limits are set to indicate that the value is a constant
and the OUT status is always Good.
In the STATUS_OPTS parameter, select from the following options to control the status
handling:
Use uncertain as good
Sets the OUT status quality to Good when the selected input status is Uncertain.
Uncertain if in manual mode
The status of the Output is set to Uncertain when the mode is set to manual.
Note
The instrument must be to OOS to set the status option.
Application information
Use the ISEL function block to:
Select the maximum temperature input from eight inputs and send it to another
function block (see <HotXRef>Figure D-6)
Calculate the average temperature of the eight inputs (see <HotXRef>Figure D-7)
Use only six of the eight inputs to calculate the average temperature.
