FGEN Obsolescence and Alternative Random Number Function Block for SCADAPack

FGEN Function Block Status

  • FGEN is obsolete in Control Expert and was not migrated to RemoteConnect Logic Editor or SCADAPack, as it originates from an outdated library.
  • While still available as a standalone in Control Expert 16.2, it is not supported with RemoteConnect to avoid legacy practices.

Alternative

  • Use a derived function block (shared for reference only) to generate random numbers.

Derived Block Features

  • Generates random numbers within a specified range.
  • Output type: Integer or Float (only one active at a time).
  • Range limits:
    • Integer: LowLimit to HighLimit
    • Float: FloatLowLimit to FloatHighLimit
  • Selection:
    • floatout = 0 → Integer output
    • floatout ≠ 0 → Float output
