The Advanced Function Block
GEM class set contains four GEMs for the AVTR function block. The one-, two-,
and three- input AVTR GEMs are identical, except that each contains a different
number of rows for voting conditions. (Figure 1 shows the
Controller_AVTR_3Input_ GEM.) The number of rows corresponds to the input
number in the GEM's name. For the common voting arrangements (1oo2, 2oo3, 1oo1,
2oo2, and 1oo3), use an AVTR block with one, two, or three input parameters, as
shown in the following table:
Voting arrangement
Use this GEM
1oo1 voter
Controller_AVTR_1Input_
1oo2 or 2oo2 voter
Controller_AVTR_2Input_
1oo3 or 2oo3 voter
Controller_AVTR_3Input_
The Controller_AVTR_InputX, as
seen in Figure 2, is an input-only GEM that can be added to the
Controller_AVTR_3Input_ GEM for voting arrangements having more than three
inputs. For example, for a 6oo8 voter, add the Controller_AVTR_3Input_ to a
display; then add five instances of the Controller_AVTR_InputX_ to the
Controller_AVTR_3Input_, positioning each beneath the existing input lines, for
a total of eight inputs.
When you add an AVTR GEM to a
display, the faceplate name defaults to AVTR_fp. If you prefer to use a custom
faceplate rather than the default faceplate, enter the faceplate name in the
Faceplate Name field.
The following list describes
the major components present on a Controller_DVTR GEM.
Note:
The
Controller_DVTR_InputX GEM includes only the last three components.
Alerts indicator
Indicates that a bit set in AVTR_ALERTS.
Current status
The value of PRE_TRIP_STATUS when TRIP_STATUS is Normal.
The value of TRIP_STATUS when TRIP_STATUS is not Normal.
Trip limit
The value of TRIP_LIM.
Pre-trip limit
The value of PRE_TRIP_LIM.
Votes required
The value of A_NUM_TO_TRIP.
BYPASS value
The current value of BYPASSx.
Select the check box to open a secure write "toggle value" dialog
for BYPASSx.
Voter input value
The value of INx, formatted per IN_SCALE.DECPT.
If the status of INx is anything other than Good, the background
color indicates this status.
DESCx value
The string value of DESCx.
The value's font color is determined by the following conditions:
