Function description

General

The analog input signal rIn is examined for its value changes within the sampling interval (here: 1s, fixed). If the current value at the input rIn at time t differs from the value at the output rOut at time t-sampling time, then the current output value rOut at time t is calculated according to the following algorithm: &#xNAN;rOut = rOut (t-sampling time) + ( ( rIn - rOut (t-sampling time) ) * ( sampling time / tTimeConstant ) ) Legend: (1) rOut = filtered analog value output at time t (2) rOut (t-sampling time) = filtered analog value output at time t-sampling time (3) rIn = analog value input at time t (4) sampling time = 1s (5) tTimeConstant = filter - time constant (6) t = current time\

Rules for setting the filter - time constant tTimeConstant

tTimeConstant > ( sampling time * 5 ) tTimeConstant = 0: rOut = *rIn\

Type of initialization eInitial

This setpoint / parameter determines the type of initialization of the analog value input rIn is defined. The initialization is performed once after each CPU restart. The following options are possible:\

Type	Initialization value	Note
eInit.InitValue	rInitValue	Configurable initial value
eInit.InputValue	rIn	Input value
eInit.InputValueDelayed	rIn	Delayed input value

The initialization is performed continuously regardless if the setpoint / parameter tTimeConstant has the value T#0s.\
