LAG_1ST

First-order low-pass filter with a scan-rate-independent time constant and initialisation onto the live signal.

Validated application blockProcess ControlIEC 61131-3IEC 61499v1.0.0

When to use it

Use LAG_1ST when a measurement is noisy enough to disturb a controller or an alarm — a flow on a reciprocating pump, a differential pressure across a filter, a current measurement, a pressure downstream of a valve — and the noise is faster than the process.

Download LAG_1ST — free

Create a free Ri Tech account to download the block. You get the Structured Text body, the Rockwell Add-On Instruction (.L5X), the Schneider Control Expert DFB (.XDB), PLCopen XML, the IEC 61499 function block type (.fbt) and the datasheet.

Every block in the catalogue is free to download, in every format, with no purchase and no card. Browsing needs no account at all; downloading needs a signed-in one, so the block lands in your library and re-downloads whenever you need it.

Source is never published on this page. The implementation is released to a signed-in Ri Tech account — free of charge, but never anonymously.
