Lifecycle Analysis 1Ch

The Lifecycle Analysis 1Ch calculates the elapsed and the estimated remaining cycles of a device. When the signal of the input channel passes the configured edge at a specific threshold, the elapsed cycles are increased and the remaining cycles are decreased.

Optionally, a Boolean signal can be selected for the Enable Execution input so that the algorithm is only active if the value of the selected signal is TRUE.

Configuration options

• Type of the edge: Specifies whether the edge counter should respond to a rising or falling edge.
• Threshold: Threshold of the signal at the respective edge. An event is triggered when the signal passes this threshold.
• Estimated Cycles: Estimated cycles over the lifetime of the respective device.
• Tolerance (optional): Tolerance value for the Equal / NotEqual comparisons.

Output Values

• Elapsed Cycles: Counts the amount of cycles which are already elapsed.
• Remaining Cycles: Shows the remaining cycles of the device as the difference of estimated and elapsed cycles.

Standard HMI Controls

For the Lifecycle Analysis 1Ch algorithm, the following HMI controls are available for generating an Analytics Dashboard:

1. The Process control visualizes the output values Elapsed Cycles and Remaining Cycles.

2. The Table Control or Multivalue Control visualizes all output values: Elapsed Cycles, Remaining Cycles.

Alternatively, customer-specific HMI controls can be mapped in the Lifecycle Analysis 1Ch algorithm using the Mapping Wizard.
