LIM_ALRMPLCopen motion icon

Function BlockClosedA function block groups an algorithm and a set of private data. It has inputs and outputs. - Detects High and Low limits of a signal with hysteresis.

Inputs

H : REAL    Value of the High limit
X : REAL    Input signal
L : REAL    Value of the Low limit
EPS : REAL  Value of the hysteresis

Outputs

QH : BOOL   TRUE if the signal exceeds the High limit
Q : BOOL    TRUE if the signal exceeds one of the limits (equals to QH OR QL)
QL : BOOL   TRUE if the signal exceeds the Low limit

Remarks

In FFLD language, the input rung (EN) is used for enabling the block. The output rung is the QH output.
