AI without subsystem-specific extension
The following tables show the properties for the channel configuration of analog inputs (AI) without any subsystem-specific extension.
The listed properties are displayed in the Hardware and network editor > Inspector window > Properties tab when the data point is selected in the Device view tab.
Number of channels |
|---|
"Number of channels" defines how many channels are used by the data point. If more than one channel is used by the I/O data point, all properties are stored in the first channel. |
Signal type |
|---|
"Signal type" defines the DRA signal type. Available signal types depend on I/O module type. The signal type can be edited. |
Slope |
|---|
"Slope" defines the slope of linear function used to calculate the measured value or the positioning value. |
Intercept |
|---|
"Intercept" defines the intercept of the linear function used to calculate the measured value or the positioning value. |
Calculate slope and intercept
|
|---|
"Calculate slope and intercept" opens the dialog to calculate slope and intercept from process and signal values. Note |
COV limit |
|---|
"COV limit" defines the change in the process value that triggers the sending of the process value. Range: 0...32767 (Standardized raw value) |
Unit |
|---|
"Unit" defines the physical unit of the input or the output. |
Save as
|
|---|
"Save as" saves the set parameters of the I/O data point as an xml-file. |
