The AF1 performs the following arithmetic functions:
6-digit add and subtract
6-digit multiply and divide
Square
rote
Average
Standard
deviation
BCD to binary conversion
Binary to BCD conversion
Applications
These arithmetic functions have applications in various industries such as food
processing, machine tool work and material handling. Applications in these
industries could be weighing, blending, batch processing, scaling, positioning,
test stands, and heat treating. The square root function is frequently used for
flow measurement and mining applications. The average function can be used
for averaging thermocouple inputs or other process variables. Standard
deviation and averaging have applications in trend analysis and report
generation.
This manual shows you how to install and program the AF1 in your
Mini-PLC-2/15 controller.
We assume that you are familiar with programming and operation of the
Mini-PLC- 2/15 and the Industrial Terminal (cat. no. 1770-T3). If this is not the
case, refer to the appropriate publications or see our Publications Index
(publication SD499).
WARNING: Use only Allen-Bradley authorized programming
devices to program Allen-Bradley programmable controllers.
using unauthorized programming devices may result in unex-
pected operation, possibly causing equipment damage and/or
injury to personnel.
