Unsupported Control Blocks and Platforms

Block / Platform

Description

SCP Software Limitations or Notes

MRIN

The Multiple Real Input block is used in applications where the PLC provides up to eight analog data values to the Foxboro Evo system for use in FoxView displays, or connections to a Foxboro control strategy

Loads in to memory but does not function

MROUT

The Multiple Real Output block sends up to eight real values to the group address of the PLC

Loads in to memory but does not function

MVC / MVL

The Multivariable Controller (MVC) block and the Multivariable Loop (MVL) block, support an Embedded MVC application running in the CP. These blocks support the multivariable control algorithm and form the interface to other CP blocks. The MVL block gets Controlled Variable (CV) and Feedforward Variable (FV) measurements from blocks such as the AIN and writes the Manipulated Variable (MV) supervisory set points to other regulatory blocks (PIDA, DPIDA, or RATIO).

Does not load in to memory

PLCIO

The Programmable Logic Controller Input/Output Block operates as a functional composite of multiple PLC interface blocks communicating with a single PLC.
