You can assure that the result of the FCM has the number of decimal places required for the loop
by taking appropriate steps when programming the smart device, and by entering appropriate
values in the fields. See the following examples.
Example 1
To obtain an integer result that equals the counts:
The value of a particular integer variable, having a range of 0 to 1000, will be directly stored in
and read from the smart device. This value is to be sent to channel 5 in the analog channel table
of the smart device interface. To use this variable as the input for a continuous loop in the MOD
System, you can proceed as follows when configuring the smart device, the smart device
interface, and the analog input FCM for the related loop.
In the smart device—Store the variable in a portion of smart device memory from which it will
be read when appropriate command(s) are received during scans by the interface. (See Chapter
1, Introduction.)
In the Advant OCS System—Use the SMARTNET templet, as described in Section 3.3.5.4,
SMARTNET Object, to arrange for the stored value in the smart device to be sent to a channel
(number 5 in this example) in the analog channel table of the interface.
For the Related Loop in the Advant OCS Data Base—Include the following entries on the
Analog Input Templet to achieve an analog input FCM result equal to the original value of the
variable in the smart device.
LC is the COUNTS—LOWER BOUND field entry
HU is the ENGU—UPPER BOUND field entry
LU is the ENGU—LOWER BOUND field entry
HC is the COUNTS—UPPER BOUND field entry
