3-3-6-2 Trend Object
It is possible to set the parameter so that the function block automatically transmits Trend. The EXA has
ten Trend objects: eight for trends of analog paramenters and two for discrete parameters. A single Trend
object specifies the trend of one parameter.
Each Trend object has the parameters listed in Table 3.9. The first four parameters are the items to be set.
Before writing to a Trend object, it is necessary to release the WRITE_LOCK parameter.
Table 3.9 Parameters for Trend Objects
Sub-index Parameters Description
1 Block Index Sets the leading index of the function block that takes a trend.
2 Parameter Relative
Index
Sets the index of parameters taking a trend by a value relative to the beginning of the function
block. In the EXA AI block, the following three types of trends are possible.
7: PV
8: OUT
19: FIELD_VAL
3 Sample Type Specifies how trends are taken. Choose one of the following 2 types:
1:Sampled upon execution of a function block.
2:The average value is sampled.
4 Sample Interval Specifies sampling intervals in units of 1/32 ms. Set the integer multiple of the function block
execution cycle.
5 Last Update The last sampling time.
6 to 21 List of Status 16 samples of status.
21 to 37 List of Samples 16 samples of data.
Ten trend objects are factory-set as shown Table 3.10.
