Advanced function blocks > Analog Voter (AVTR) function block

Analog Voter function block alarm detection

The AVTR block contains a number of conditions in the AVTR_ALERTS parameter. Only one of these AVTR_ALERTS conditions (Input Bad) propagates to the module level parameter MERROR. The following table lists the AVTR block alarm conditions.

Alarm conditions do not propagate when the REPORT_OPTS option Alarm conditions do not roll up to module level is selected. You might want to prevent propagation when the voting scheme is used to calculate a permissive rather than an interlock or trip condition.
