      Typical Object Configuration

      There are physical limitations to the number of inputs, outputs, and SMART-Sensors that can be connected to a MACH-ProAir. For other object types, there are no imposed limits for the maximum number of objects of a single type. The main constraint for created objects is onboard memory, however, the total number of objects that can be created (including inputs, outputs, and SMART-Sensors) is limited to 128. The table below details a typical database that fits in the memory module for any model.

      Variables (48)     Loops (4)     Schedules (2)     Calendars (1)     Tables* (2)     Groups (2)     Multipoint Trend** (2)     Runtime* (32)     Arrays (2)     Program (8)      SMART-Sensor*** (4)

      * Tables and Runtime Logs are not counted in the 128 object limit. Inputs, outputs, and the device object are counted in the 128 object limit.
      ** Trends are configured to store 128 samples.
      *** All models accommodate a maximum of 4 SMART-Sensors.
