Programmable Application Blocks

Compare

  • Greater than, less than, equal, not equal, greater than or equal, less than or equal

Counters

  • Counts up or down, loads predetermined value on the load signal. Output is active when the count value equals or exceeds predetermined target value

Linearization

  • Interpolated or stepped relationship

Logic

  • And, nand, or, nor, equal, not equal, latch, flip flop

Math

Special Output Function

  • Compressor – turns on-off compressor for one or two loops (cool and dehumidify with single compressor)
  • Motorized valve – turns on-off motor open/closed outputs causing valve to represent desired power level
  • Sequencer – turns on-off up to four outputs to distribute a single power across all outputs with linear and progressive load wearing

Timers

  • On pulse – produces an output of fixed time on the active edge of timer run signal
  • Delay – output is a delayed start of timer run and off at same time
  • One shot – oven timer
  • Retentive – measures timer run signal and output on when accumulated time exceeds target

Variable

  • User value for digital or analog variable
