Fanout Block Example

The Fanout block can send one analog value to different blocks, while passing the same value onto the next block in the chain. For example, if you need to use an analog value as an input to a Calculation block and you also need it as the source of a PID set point, the Fanout block can pass the same value to both chains as shown in the following figure.  

You can configure the Fanout block in this manner by:

  1. Entering the Calculation block's name in the Fanout block's Next field.
  2. Entering the PID block's name and the target field, F_TV1, in the Fanout block's Destination A field.
