Floating Point Output Tags

Tag Name Data Type Applicable

Modules

Definition:

Ch0Data REAL All outputs The value the channel is set to output in engineering units based upon the

configured scaling for the channel.

Ch0DataEcho REAL All outputs The value the channel is currently outputting in engineering units based upon

the configured user scaling. Will match the requested output value, O tag

Ch0Data, unless: in Program mode, calibrating, beneath Low Limit, above High

Limit, currently ramping or In Hold.

OutGroupFault BOOL All outputs Indicates if a channel fault has occurred on any output channel.

Ch0NotANumber BOOL All outputs Bit indicating the received output value from the controller, O tag Ch0Data,

was an invalid IEEE floating point value. When an invalid value is received, the

output value holds its last known valid state.

Ch0InHold BOOL All outputs Bit that indicates if the output channel is currently holding until the Output

value sent to the module (O tag Ch0Data) matches the current output value

(I tag Ch0Data) within 0.1% of the channel’s full scale.

CH0RampAlarm BOOL All outputs Alarm bit that sets when the requested output value, Ch0ConfigRampToRun

set, and the difference between the new output value requested and the

current output exceeds the configured ramp limit, Ch0ConfigMaxRampRate.

The bit will remain set until ramping ceases unless the alarm is latched via

Ch0ConfigRampAlarmLatch.

Ch0LLimitAlarm BOOL All outputs Alarm bit that sets when the requested output value, Ch0Data, is below the

configured low limit, Ch0ConfigLowLimit, in which case the output will stop at

the configured low limit which the echo will reflect. Remains set until the

requested output moves above the low limit unless latched by

Ch0ConfigLimitAlarmLatch.

Ch0HLimitAlarm BOOL All outputs Alarm bit that sets when the requested output value, Ch0Data, is above the

configured high limit, Ch0ConfigHighLimit, in which case the output will stop

at the configured high limit which the echo will reflect. Remains set until the

requested output moves below the high limit unless latched by

Ch0ConfigLimitAlarmLatch.
