Analog Output (Dynamic)

Operator Menu Location: Generic Hardware Operators -> Dynamic Config Hardware

Operator Bitmap:

Functional Description:
This operator accepts structure compositions as inputs, and outputs a structure to configure it's operation. It must be linked to a hardware resource to complete its functionality.

Pin x accepts an input structure which describes the characteristics of the data to be output. Refer to the Configuration Inputs section of the table below for the structure components and the accepted values.

Pin x accepts a boolean input which indicates when to assign a value to the output, on a signal's rising or falling edge.

Pin x accepts an input structure containing the data to display and specification for what type of output is assigned, one with or without feedback. Refer to the Data Inputs section of the table below for the structure components and the accepted values.

Pin y outputs a structure containing status information. Refer to the Data Outputs section of the table below for the structure components and the expected values.

Dynamic Configuration for Analog Outputs

Configuration Inputs
ID	Type	Name	Relevant Modes	Comments / Notes
1	int8	Operator Type	All	0 = Disabled / Off 1 = "Standard" 2 = "Standard With Feedback" 3 = "Redundant w/ Feedback"
2	int8	Output Mode	All	0x11 = Current: 0-20mA 0x12 = Current: 4-20mA 0x13 = Voltage: 0-5V 0x14 = Voltage: 0-10V
3	bool	Enable User-defined scaling	All
4	float	User-defined low range scaled equiv	All (If User-defined scaling enabled)
5	float	User-defined high range scaled equiv	All (If User-defined scaling enabled)
6	float	Load Impedance (ohms)	"Standard w/ Feedback" type
7	bool	Enable User-defined Feedback Scale	"Standard w/ Feedback" type
8	float	Feedback low range scaled equiv	"Standard w/ Feedback" type, (If User-defined FB scaling enabled)
9	float	Feedback high range scaled equiv	"Standard w/ Feedback" type, (If User-defined FB scaling enabled)
10	float	Max allowable FB deviation	"Standard w/ Feedback" type, "Redundant w/ Feedback"
11	int32	Set Error Hysteresis Time	"Standard w/ Feedback" type
12	int32	Clear Error Hysteresis Time	"Standard w/ Feedback" type
13	float	Error Switch Hysteresis Time	"Redundant w/ Feedback" type
14	float	Reserved1	All	This member is reserved for future expansion. To ensure compatibility with future Fairmount Automation software, this member should be set to zero (0.0).

Data Inputs
ID	Type	Name	Relevant Modes	Comments / Notes
1	float	Analog Value	All
2	bool	Switch Input	"Standard w/ Feedback" type	Do we need an "enable" for this???
3	float	Reserved1	All	This member is reserved for future expansion. To ensure compatibility with future Fairmount Automation software, this member should be set to zero (0.0).

Data Outputs
ID	Type	Name	Relevant Modes	Comments / Notes
1	int8	Status Code	All	Basic status information for the hardware. See "Status Codes" table on "Defines" worksheet.
2	int8	Operator Type	All	The operator type is echoed back to the data output block. This is intended mainly for networked operation, allowing the receiver to verify that the operator is in the expected mode before interpreting data. Also useful when transitioning from one mode to another.
3	int8	Output Mode	All	The output mode is echoed back to the data output block. This is intended mainly for networked operation, allowing the receiver to verify that the operator is in the expected mode before interpreting data. Also useful when transitioning from one mode to another.
4	float	Feedback Value	"Standard w/ Feedback", "Redundant w/ Feedback"
5	bool	Error Detected	"Standard w/ Feedback", "Redundant w/ Feedback"
6	bool	Output Active	"Redundant w/ Feedback"
7	float	Reserved1	All	This member is reserved for future expansion. Until its meaning is defined by Fairmount Automation, applications should assume that its value is undefined.

User-Defined Properties:
Object Name. A string label that identifies the operator

Enable On. Defines at what segment of a signal the input should be read or indicates it is always active.
