Math Operation

The Math Operation executes a mathematical operation on two or more different input channels and provides the result of the mathematical operation. The operator is the same for all operands.

Optionally, a Boolean signal can be selected for the Enable Execution input so that the algorithm is only active if the value of the selected signal is TRUE.

Configuration options

• Num Channels: The number of operands that are inputs to the function.
• Mathematical Operator: Mathematical operator of the operation.
  "+" Addition
  "-" Subtraction
  "x" Multiplication
  "/" Division
  "^xy" PowerOf
  "%" Modulo
  "˅" Minimum
  "˄" Maximum
• Use Absolute Values: If the checkbox is checked, the absolute values of the input signal are used.

Output Values

• Result: Result of the mathematical operation.

Standard HMI Controls

For the Math Operation algorithm, the following HMI controls are available for generating an Analytics Dashboard:

1. The SingleValue control visualizes the output value Result.

2. The Thermometer control visualizes the Result output value and can be used for temperature displays.

3. The Table Control or Multivalue Control visualizes all output values: Result.

Alternatively, customer-specific HMI controls can be mapped in the Math Operation algorithm using the Mapping Wizard.
