The Analog Input block can receive temperature readings from a rotary kiln that has a specified I/O address and then pass these values on to the Histogram block. The following figure shows how to use an Analog Input block in a chain.
A histogram designed in the iFIX WorkSpace could then display the frequency distribution of the readings. The Analog Input block could also generate alarms. For example, if you set the High High alarm value to 212 degrees, the block would generate a High High alarm with a reading of greater than 212 degrees.
