SETSEL Command | Proficy iFIX 2024 Documentation

Purpose

Sets the selection mode of a Signal Select block to the specified mode.

Syntax

SETSEL block mode

The available modes determine how the Signal Select block uses its input values to calculate its output value. These modes are described in the following table.

The mode...	Outputs the...
Average	Average of all assigned inputs.
Good	First good input. Note: A good value is one that iFIX considers valid. For example, if you have defined the engineering units range of the block as 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, and the sensor registers 60 degrees, the input is considered bad or invalid.
High	Highest input.
Low	Lowest input.
Sum	Sum of all the inputs.
Inputs 1 - 6	Corresponding input number.

NOTE: If one or more of the inputs are bad or off scan when the selected mode is Average or Sum, the Signal Select block ignores these inputs and continues with the calculation based on the remaining inputs.
