Purpose
The Calculation (CA) block performs simple mathematical calculations on the value passed by the upstream block and up to seven other constants or block values.
NOTE: The precision of calculations is fifteen digits. Round-off errors can occur in the sixteenth digit.
Features
The Calculation block:
- Is a secondary block.
- Accepts the output values and fields of other blocks.
- Accepts floating point, integer, or exponential constants.
- Can be used in a chain with time-based or exception-based processing. Note that if any of the inputs (from B - H) are exception-based, the Calculation block will not trigger when any of these change.
