Adder

Name

Description

MLAddInit

Initializes an Adder Pipe Block for use in a PLC Program with user-defined settings.

MLAddReadOff1

Returns the offset value of the first entry of an Adder block.

MLAddReadOff2

Returns the offset value of the second entry of an Adder block.

MLAddReadRatio1

Returns the ratio value of the first entry of an Adder block.

MLAddReadRatio2

Returns the ratio value of the second entry of an Adder block.

MLAddWriteInput

Sets the source of an input of an Adder Pipe Block.

MLAddWriteOff1

Set the offset value of the first entry of the Adder block.

MLAddWriteOff2

Set the offset value of the second entry of the Adder block.

MLAddWriteRat1

Set the ratio value of the first entry of the Adder block.

MLAddWriteRat2

Set the ratio value of the second entry of the Adder block.

Purpose

  • Adds two data flows (the output is the algebraic sum of the two inputs).
  • Before being added, input values may be amplified and shifted (multiplication factor and offset are individually defined for each input).

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Ratio1

Sets the Ratio value of the first entry of an Adder object.

Offset1

Sets the Offset value of the first entry of an Adder object.

Ratio2

Sets the Ratio value of the second entry of an Adder object.

Offset2

Sets the Offset value of the second entry of an Adder object. 

Output = (Ratio_1 * Input_1 + Offset_1) + (Ratio_2 * Input_2 + Offset_2)

Rules

Adder - Rule 1

The pipe blocks connected to the Adder inputs (e.g., a Cam and a Gear) must have the same output modulo positions.

 

Adder - Rule 2

The modulo position of the pipe blocks connected to the Adder inputs must have the same value (or a multiple) as the modulo position of the pipe block connected to the output of the Adder.

Associated Data

  • OutputValue: Output value of the data flows.
  • Entry1: input value 1.
  • Entry2: input value 2.
