6-2 Analog Input Functional Block
The Analog Input Functional Block
The Analog Input functional block measures the voltage, current, or resistance
of a hardware transducer. This value is then translated into an appropriate
value to send on the Analog output network variable. For example, a
temperature transducer might return a value of 10,000 to 15,000 ohms. The
Analog Input functional block translates this raw value into the appropriate
temperature value using a translation table. The following figure and table
summarizes the output of the Analog Input functional block:
Output Network Variables

Analog SNVT_temp_f
(changeable)
The Analog output network
variable driven by the sensor.
Configuring an Analog Input with the LonPoint Plug-in
Right-click an Analog Input functional block and select Configure from the
shortcut menu to open the LonPoint Plug-in. The Analog Input window of the
LonPoint Plug-in contains the following tabs: Analog Input, Translation,
Output Parameters
, and Status.
