Indirect Square Root
Indirect Square Root signal conversion takes the square root of the value
computed with the indirect signal conversion and scales it to the range and
units of the PV and OUT parameters.
When the converted input value is below the limit specified by the LOW_CUT
parameter, and the Low Cutoff I/O option (IO_OPTS) is enabled (True), a
value of zero is used for the converted value (PV). This option eliminates false
readings when the differential pressure measurement is close to zero and it
may be useful with zero-based measurement devices such as flowmeters.
NOTE
Low Cutoff is the only I/O option supported by the AI block. Set the I/O option
when the block is OOS.
Block Errors
Table D-2 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR parameter. Conditions
in bold are inactive for the AI block and are given here for reference.
