MLCNVInit

 Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. - Initializes a converter Pipe Block.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
BlockID	DINT	-2147483648 to 2147483647	N/A	No default	ID number of a created Pipe Block.
Mode	DINT	1, 2	N/A	No default	Determines the type of input to the Converter Object. 1 for Position Position means a point in space which is described by different coordinates. Depending on the used system and transformation it can consist of a maximum of six dimensions (coordinates).This means three Cartesian coordinates in space and coordinates for the orientation. In ACS there can be even more than six coordinates. If the same position is described in different coordinate systems the values of the coordinates are different. mode. 2 for Speed Speed is the absolute value of the velocity without direction. mode.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Default (.Q)	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Returns TRUE if the Convertor Pipe Block is initialized. See Pipe Network - General Rules.

Remarks

• MLCNVInit is automatically called if a Convertor Block is added to the Pipe Network, with the input mode (position or speed) entered in the Pipe Blocks Properties screen.
• The Converter block changes the incoming flow of speed or position values to continuous position output with no periodicity Motor systems having a reciprocating or oscillating motor that operates synchronously with the periodicity of the source which supplies the electrical energy. The period of execution of a pipe is the time spent between two successive computations of set values for the same pipe. The period of execution of a pipe is specified by the PERIOD parameter of the input pipe block..

• 
  

• Converter objects are normally created in the Pipe Network using the graphical engine.
  You do not have to add MLCNVInit function blocks A function block groups an algorithm and a set of private data. It has inputs and outputs. to their programs The act of performing a sequence of instructions or commands..
  Parameters are entered directly The orientation components of a vector in space. in pop-up windows and the code is then automatically added to the current project.
