If you have not associated a PDC to a PIOMB block, you can set the analog or digital channel output values
from the Monitoring view.
Attention
You cannot set the channel input values from the Monitoring view. An error message appears when you try to set the
channel input values from the Monitoring view.

7.19.1 Setting the analog output values

Perform the following steps to set the analog output values
Select the PDC type from the PDC tab. All the channels of the specific PDC type are listed in the lower
1
grid.
2 Click the floating point value or the numeric raw data value of the channel for which you want to modify the
value. A confirmation message appears.
Click Yes.
3
Type the new value in the Numeric raw data column or the Floating point value column.

Attention
If the PDC is associated with a PIOMB, you cannot modify the output values. An error message appears if you try
to modify the output value.
Attention
• You must enter the raw value in the Numeric raw data column and the percentage in the Floating point
value column.
• When you enter the numeric raw value in the Numeric raw data column, the floating point value must appear
automatically in the Floating point value column. Similarly, when you enter the floating point value in the
Floating point value column, the numeric raw data must automatically appear in the Numeric raw data
column.
For example, for a 0 to 20 mA signal, if the channel high range is 20000 and the channel low range is 0, if you
enter the floating point value as 50%, the Numeric raw data column will display the value as 10000.
• If you enter a value that exceeds the extended range value, the message "kVAStsLimitOrRangeExceeded"
appears and the last good value is retained.
• In a CEAGDSB, you cannot change the channel values of the PDCs associated with the CEAG
Communication module.
