MLFB_PlsPosFw

 Function Block - Forward position range indicator.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
ibExecute	BOOL				Enable PLS.
iDedicatedCmpID	DINT				ID of the dedicated comparator.
iStartPos	LREAL				Start position of PLS.
iEndPos	LREAL				End position of PLS.
iDelayTime	TIME				Delay time for compensation.
ibForce	BOOL				Force PLS.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
oPLS	BOOL		N/A	Position limit switch.

Remarks

• Used in the command position path with ascending position.
• A dedicated comparator pipe block is needed.
• The Boolean output oPLS is set to:
  • TRUE if the position has crossed the start position.
  • FALSE if the position has crossed the end position.
• The function block is executed cyclically.
  • The modulo position is considered.
• The function block has the possibility to compensate a delay time of the connected device (e.g., glue nozzles).

ST Language Example

//PLSOutput is True when chosen comparator is between 180 and 270 with a T#2ms delay

//Can also force the output to be true with ForceOuput variable
Inst_MLFB_PlsPosFw( EnablePLS, PipeNetwork.COMPARATOR, 180, 270, T#2ms, ForceOutput );
PLSOutput := Inst_MLFB_PlsPosFw.oPLS;
