RMS_WINDOW
Windowed root-mean-square with peak and crest factor, and an AC-coupling option that removes a live-zero offset.
When to use it
Use RMS_WINDOW when the energy or amplitude of a signal is the measurement — bearing vibration, motor current, ripple on a DC bus, harmonic content on an EV charger feed — and both the RMS level and how peaky the signal is are wanted.
Interface
The published port signature. This is the whole of what the block exposes to your program — the implementation body is not shown here and ships with the download.

Download RMS_WINDOW — 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.
