Set_AO_Mode

Overview

The Set_AO_Mode function block configures the operating mode of each channel of an AO module. Each channel can operate in:

Voltage mode (0-10 V) → 1
Current mode (4-20 mA) → 0

💡 AO Channels

Each AO module provides four output channels.

Module_ID           :=  (USINT)
Ch0_Mode            :=  (BOOL)
Ch1_Mode            :=  (BOOL)
Ch2_Mode            :=  (BOOL)
Ch3_Mode            :=  (BOOL)
STS_Done            =>  (BOOL)
STS_Failed          =>  (BOOL)
STS_Fault_Code      =>  (USINT)

Interface

Inputs

Name	Type	Range / Units	Description
Module_ID	USINT	1 - 15	Unique identifier of the AO module.
Ch0_Mode	BOOL	0 / 1	Operating mode for channel 0: `1` = 0-10 V, `0` = 4-20 mA.
Ch1_Mode	BOOL	0 / 1	Operating mode for channel 1.
Ch2_Mode	BOOL	0 / 1	Operating mode for channel 2.
Ch3_Mode	BOOL	0 / 1	Operating mode for channel 3.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
STS_Done	BOOL	`TRUE` when the AO mode configuration was successfully applied.
STS_Failed	BOOL	`TRUE` if the mode configuration operation failed.
STS_Fault_Code	USINT	Diagnostic code indicating the reason for failure.

Fault Codes

Code	Meaning	Description
97	Module Faulted	The AO module reported an internal fault.
98	Module Mismatch	The detected module type does not match the expected AO module.
99	Module Not Found	The specified `Module_ID` is not part of the current hardware configuration.

Example

PROGRAM PROG_Set_AO_MODE
    VAR
        AO_Mode_Block : Set_AO_Mode;
    END_VAR

    AO_Mode_Block(
        Module_ID := 5,
        Ch0_Mode := TRUE,     (* 0-10V *) 
        Ch1_Mode := TRUE,     (* 0-10V *)
        Ch2_Mode := FALSE,    (* 4-20mA *) 
        Ch3_Mode := FALSE     (* 4-20mA *)
        );
