Process Variables

Application and load avatars introduce Process Variable (PV) inputs and switches:

  • PV inputs receive analog values from sensors such as pressure meters, flow meters, or vibration meters. PV inputs connect to analog I/O modules (AIOMs) that are included as part of the avatar. The number of AIOMs required for the avatar is determined based on the number of configured PV inputs.

  • PV switches receive discrete signals from switches such as float switches or proximity switches. PV switches connect to digital I/O modules (DIOMs) that are included as part of the avatar. The number of DIOMs required for the avatar is determined based on the number of configured PV switches.
