The L5X files can be downloaded by selecting the button. The L5X file can be imported into Logix. These AOIs were developed in v21 of Logix.
Process Simulation: A Full Featured SISO Process Simulation, helpful for testing PID control.
Hysterisis: This AOI simulates the deadband in a valve when the direction of travel changes.
LDLGB: A bypassable lead/lag block
MidOf3: Selects the middle value of 3 numeric inputs.
Number Resolution: Rounds a numeric value based on the specified resolution.
Random Generator: A pseudo-random number generator
Root: Calculates the root of a number, handling negative inputs
Sin Generator: Generates a sin wave of a period specified in terms of number of scans of the task
Curve_Parabola: This is used to simulate a state-state gain of a parabolic (inverse) response
Curve pH: This is used to simulate a steady state gain of an approximate pH titration curve
Curve SQRT: This is used to simulate a steady state gain of a square root process
Curve Square: This is used to simulate a steady state gain of a squared (F[x]=x^2) process
