MOD 30ML Data Base Reference

BUILT-IN ANALOG OUTPUT BLOCK

Block Type
AOUT

This is the Analog Output Module Block type.

Version (VERSION)........................................................................................................... – – R
The AOUT block is at version 1

Block Length (BLKLEN).................................................................................................... – – R
Number of data base bytes used by this block.

State (STATE).................................................................................................................... – – R
Not configurable in this block; state is always equal to RUN. See

IB-23G600 (I/O Logic Book

1) Section 2.4.1, State Changes for additional information. This block, when configured, is
always executed in the RUN state (Normal Operation).

Bad Inputs (BADINP) ........................................................................................................ CWR
See

IB-23G600 (I/O Logic Book 1) Section 2.4.1, State Changes for additional information.

Accepted

Block runs its algorithm without a check on input quality and output
quality is set to good.

Rejected

Block checks data quality on its inputs and only runs its algorithm if
its input is good (no action is taken on a bad value). The block result
is held at the previous value and the result quality is set bad and the
track status is set to TRACK.

Diagnostic Group (SUPPGRP) ........................................................................................ CWR
The diagnostic errors reported by this block can be grouped for System Event block control of
their reporting.

NONE

No group assigned.

1 to 7

Defines the diagnostic group number for the diagnostic suppression group

controlled by the System Event block.

I/O Communications Error (COMMERRS)...................................................................... CWR
The I/O communications error diagnostic checks the status of communications between the
built-in circuit and this block. The diagnostic can be suppressed or enabled as follows.

SUPPRESS

Diagnostic error is suppressed. Acknowledgement status remains clear.

ENABLE

Diagnostic error is not suppressed and errors are reported to the System

Event block.

Unacked I/O Communications Error (COMMERRU) ..................................................... – WR
If the I/O communications error diagnostic is enabled, the unacknowledged diagnostic status
indicates if the diagnostic is or is not acknowledged. The status can be acknowledged or
read as follows.

YES
