About AnalogDevice object configuration

The AnalogDevice object is an ApplicationObject that can be configured as either a basic analog device, or an analog regulator device. When configured as a basic analog device, the AnalogDevice object follows the traditional model of a basic analog input/output object with alarming and history. When configured as an analog regulator device, the AnalogDevice object provides an external model of a PID controller that exists in a field device, in addition to providing the traditional analog alarming and history capabilities.

The following topics describe the capabilities of the AnalogDevice object when configured as a basic analog input/output device and as an analog regulator device.

For general information on objects, including relationships, deployment, and alarm distribution, see the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) documentation.
