Inputs
SP (cyclic) is the desired output value from an operator.
RCAS_IN (cyclic) is the desired output value from a remote station that is used when actual block
mode is RCas.
IN_CHANNEL (acyclic) represents the transducer block channel number from which readback data
originates and designates the actual position of the final control element. The data from this channel
is read through the block READBACK algorithm.
OUT_CHANNEL (acyclic) represents the channel number to which the AO block will send its output
“command” data.
INCREASE_CLOSE (acyclic) determines the direction of the positioner in mode RCAS and Auto.
INCREASE_CLOSE
0
Rising (increasing of setpoint-input results in OPENING of the valve)
1
Falling (increasing of the setpoint-input results in CLOSING of the valve)
Outputs
The output of the function block can be set in three ways. When the block is in Manual Mode, the
output can be set by the user with a configuration tool. The setpoint parameter is ignored during
Manual Mode. In Automatic Mode, the output is set by the Setpoint value in engineering units. In
Remote Cascade Mode, the setpoint comes from a remote computer/station. This variable is sent to
the Transducer Block where some action will be taken.
RCAS_OUT (cyclic) is the function block setpoint in units of PV_SCALE and status, and is provided
to a supervisory host for monitoring/back calculation and to allow action to be taken under limited
conditions or mode change.
READBACK (cyclic) is the actual position of the final control element within the travel span (between
OPEN and CLOSE position) in units of PV_SCALE.
