I agree with Chuck and the others, but don't limit it to a Delay ON - include a Delay OFF. I could use a difference alarm in a SWCH block to know when my flows, temps or levels start separating. This would keep me from having to build a REALM block to do this and then have to modify the faceplate to remove the SPT and replace it with the flow ID.

I sometimes use them for creating interlocks where I need to OR or AND some inputs. If LOGIC blocks go away, I can use a MON block for the same function. For alarm delays, I could still use the larger CALC or CALCA. =20 I think we should keep LOGIC blocks. Or, better yet, build a Delay ON function into our existing alarms.
