MLSyncInit

Pipe Network motion icon

Function - Initializes a synchronizer Pipe Block.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
BlockID	DINT	1 to 1024	N/A	No default	ID name of the Pipe Network Block.
ModuloPosition	LREAL	0 to 1.0x10³⁰⁰	User units	No default	Value of the cyclic period of the input signal. Expressed in User units. The parameter is defined to correctly manage the periodicity (modulo) of the input values. 0 (zero) indicates the input signal does not use the modulo operation.
CurveType	DINT	1 to 2	N/A	No default	When synchronizing, specifies which type of curve (parabolic or polynomial) has to be implemented for merging with the master. The options are: 1 = Parabolic 2 = Polynomial
DeltaS	LREAL	No range	User units	No default	The Distance to get in or out of synchronization. This parameter is used in MLSyncStart and MLSyncStop.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Default (.Q)	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Function block executed successfully. See Pipe Network - General Rules.

Remarks

Returns TRUE if the function succeeded.
This FB is automatically created in the compiled code of a Pipe Network.
This function block is part of the MLPN_CREATE_OBJECT to initialize the Pipe Network.
- It is called at the beginning of an application program with the function call:

PipeNetwork(MLPN_CREATE_OBJECTS);

//Initialize  a synchronizer  Pipe Block named “ SYN” with a modulo of 360, Curve Type of Parabolic, and a distance (DeltaS) of 30 to get in and out of synchronization
MLSyncInit( PipeNetwork.SYN, 360, 1, 30 );
