In this Metasys Tutorial I will show you how you can take an average of multiple sensors and identify the bad sensors, take them out of the equation and only average the good ones.
I will go over 3 examples, and all will be done in LCT (Logic Connector Tool), which you can access it by creating a Control System.
Example #1 - Simple Average of 3 Sensors
For this example we will use the simple average module (AVG), but this approach is not that great. If one sensor fails or goes unreliable, the whole a calculation will go bad.
Example #2 - An Upgraded Average of 3 Sensors
For this example, we will add a Default Value to any sensor that fails. This way we can get a much better average.
Example #3 - Advanced Averaging of Multiple Sensors
For this example, we will get more creative and we will be able to identify any bad sensor. If a sensors goes unreliable, we will take it out of the equation and calculate a true average based on good sensor. If at any moment any sensors comes back Online (or reliable), the average will automatically calculate....I call this, the Controls Hero way!
