8.8 Analog Output Function Block
AO Block Description
The Analog Output function block serves as the external interface for the transducer function block. The value of SP is used to produce the OUT
value which is then sent to the transducer block to specify the valve position. PV reflects the actual valve position reported by the transducer
block.
The AO function block operates on the output value from a control block [such as PID] and performs the following primary functions (most
can be user configured):
Set-point source selection limiting
•
Units conversion
•
Fault state action
•
Position read back
•
Alarming
•
Mode control
•
Output calculation
The database contains the standard AO block database, as defined in the FF FBAP specifications. Flowserve product extensions are specified
in the Logix 3400MD digital positioner parameter dictionary and are described below.
The interface to the AO block contains the following:
•
Execute function block
•
Database read access
•
Alarm acknowledgment
•
Database write access
AO Block Connections
CAS_IN is the only linkable input parameter and is used with a PID function block for direct cascade connection. RCAS_IN is a contained input
parameter used for remote cascade connection.
OUT and BKCAL_OUT are linkable output parameters. RCAS_OUT is a contained output parameter for remote cascade connection.
