ABB DCS Function Code 15

The summer (2-input) function performs a weighted sum of two inputs according to the equation: Output = (S1 x S3) + (S2 x S4). It can be used to perform proportional, bias, or difference functions by choosing the proper gains and inputs. It can also scale non-zero based signals by referencing the second input to a constant value. For example, an input range of 200-500 could be scaled to an output of 10-110 by setting S3 to 0.333, S2 to -1, and S4 to 56.667.

Summer (2-Input)

15. Summer (2-Input)


This function performs a weighted sum of two inputs. By choosing the proper gains and inputs this block can perform
proportional, bias or difference functions. It also can be used as a scaler for non-zero based signals by referencing the
second input to a constant block.
The following equation describes the operation of this function:

Output  (<S1> S3)  (<S2>  S4)

Applications
Besides performing proportional, bias or difference functions, this code also can be used for scaling. By referencing the
second input to a constant block or to a manual set constant block (function code 2), a non-zero based signal can be
scaled.
The example in Figure 15-1 shows how to scale an input with a range of 200 to 500 engineering units to give an output of
ten to 110 engineering units.

The S3 constant is calculated using the equation:

S = Output Span-
--------------------------------
<S1> Span
– 10 -
= 110
-----------------------
500 – 200
= 0.333

Fixed block four connects to S2 to give it a constant value of -1.0. Specification S2 could be set to any fixed value by using
function code 2, but this approach requires more memory than using a fixed block. Since <S2> and S4 are both constants
in this example, they can be considered as a unit. The following equation determines the value for the product of <S2> and
S4:

<S2> S4 = Output min. – (<S1> min. S3 min.)


In this example then:

<S2>  S4 = 10 - [(200)(0.333)] = -56.667

<S2> and S4 could then be set to any allowable value that will give the product of -56.667. In our example, <S2> is set to
-1.000 so S4 is set to 56.667.
