Analog Input Block – Typical Uses

You can use the Analog Input block to:  

  • Read and write analog values at set time intervals or by exception from an I/O address, such as a PLC register.
  • Perform smoothing, signal conditioning, and alarm-limit checking.
  • Assist in control situations such as direct digital control when chained to a PID or On-Off Control block.
  • Initiate the processing of other blocks through the Next Block field.
