Description
This block issues signals to the meter logic in the AFC. A signal is an instruction
for the AFC to perform a function once. Signals are latched in the AFC and
remain pending until they are discharged. Typical signals are:

Reset Resettable Accumulator

Write Ad-hoc Archive Record
The AFC returns this block immediately, without delaying it until the signal is
discharged. However, it is still possible for the signal to be discharged before the
block is returned, so it is not guaranteed that output signal bits will be echoed in
the input. To schedule a signal, the Processor should latch the appropriate bit in
the output signal word (Note that AFC acts upon a signal bit transition from 0 to 1
only). The maps of available signal bits are provided in the following table.

Special Note: Using Meter Number Value of 0 in OFB ID to write Site Signal Bits

Set the Meter number to 0 to write to the Site Signal bits.

Set the Meter number (1 through 16) to write to the selected Meter Signal bits.
Note: Refer to Function Block Structure (page 168) for information on Bit 8 and 9 settings.
