    <Appendix 3.  Input Selector (IS) Block>
A3-2
IM 01C25R03-01E
Output Parameters (Computation or Selection Results) 
OUT  : Block output 
SELECTED  : Indicates the input number selected using the alternatives. 
Other Parameters 
OUT_RANGE  : Sets the OUT range. 
STATUS_OPTS : Option used to specify the handling of various statuses. 
SELECT_TYPE : Determines the input selection algorithm. 
MIN_GOOD  : Parameter specifying the minimum required number of inputs with “good” status. If the 
number of inputs that are “good” is less than the value of MIN_GOOD, input selection is 
canceled. 
Mode 
O/S  : Allows conguration change, but disables input value output. 
Man  : Allows internal processing, but the output value may vary depending on the denition of usage conditions. 
Auto  : Outputs the input value. 
The Input Selector (IS) block offers a maximum of eight input alternatives and generates the output according 
to the congured action. This block generally receives inputs from the Analog Input (AI) function block. The 
function of the IS block is to select a maximum, minimum, middle, average, “rst good,” or “latched good” 
signal. The block combines parameter conguration (DISABLE_n) and option (“rst good”) to give priority to 
alternative(s) or to function as a rotary position switch. When used as a rotary position switch, the block can 
receive operator inputs or switch information from connected inputs. 
The IS block supports the concept of middle selection. This function outputs the average of two middle signals 
if even multiple valid signals are congured or a middle signal if odd multiple valid signals are congured. 
Application of the block is to supply a selected control signal in the forward path. 
The SELECTED parameter is the 2nd output indicating which input has been selected using the algorithm.
