I would "OR" the bad status bits of all the AIN blocks and connect the result to the MANSW of PIDA block.

So my latest problem is like this.. I have 5 ain blocks that feed a calca (RI01-RI05) and get summed and divided by five. This output is sent to a PIDA as the Meas. The process eng wants the block to go to manual if any transmitter goes to a bad status. I thought I could "OR" the blksta from the ain blocks and send it to the pida's bad status bit along with mbad in the PIDA. Does anyone know how to connect bcalci bad status or have a better solution? _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
