Function description

Average rOut

The average is formed by multiplying the analog value inputs rInX by their individual weighting iLoadingX and then summing all products (dividend). The sum of the weightings is formed by adding the individual weightings (= divisor). The quotient obtained in this way is finally available as the average rOut available. The individual weighting of an analog value input X always has the value 0.0 as long as the enable for analog value input X xEnX is locked (= FALSE). If the sum of the weightings (divisor) = zero, then the output rOut constantly outputs the value 0.0. Legend: X = 1 to 6

Aggregate fault xErr

The collective fault is active (= TRUE) if at least one of the analog value inputs rInX is locked (xEnX = FALSE). In all other cases the collective fault is not active (= FALSE).
