FB_BACnetLoopSeq1201

BACnet sequence controller

FB_BACnetLoopSeq1201 1:

Functional description

This function block maps the function block FB_BA_SeqCtrl as loop object in BACnet. The loop object on the BACnet side essentially has the task of displaying parameters and values from the PLC and transferring them to the PLC. The controller logic is solely in the PLC, in the internal FB_BA_SeqCtrl. The main parameters can be changed from both sides - PLC and BACnet; the last change is always the valid one. These parameters are transferred from the PLC via ADS and into the PLC via a cyclic interface. On the PLC side, all parameters have an additional Enable input: when the respective Enable input is set for the first time (rising edge), the value at the parameter input is transferred in any case; subsequently, if Enable is set, it is only transferred if it changes, in order to reduce the ADS traffic. If the Enable input is not set, no transfer takes place.

Like in the "normal" sequence controller of type FB_BA_SeqCtrl, which represents a pure PLC solution, the BACnet version also works only with a sequence link function block FB_BA_SeqLink.

usiMyNum: ordinal number of the sequence controller

bEn: controller activation

bEnActn / bActn: enable/property value control direction: "direct" or "reverse

bEnPropConst / rPropConst: enable/property value proportionality constant (K-factor)

bEnErrLmt / rErrLmt: enable/property value message value maximum output

bEnTiDly / udiTiDly: enable/property value message delay [s]

bEnNotiCla / udiNotiCla: enable/property value notification class

bEnMinOut / rMinOut: enable/property value maximum output at controller output

bEnMaxOut / rMaxOut: enable/property value minimum output at controller output

lrYSeqInit: start synchronization value. If this controller is the one that is enabled first when the control sequence is activated, this controller is started with this value at the output.

bSync: set output to lrSync.

lrSync: synchronization value, to which the control value is set on rising edge at input bSync.

lrNz: neutral zone

udiDampConst: damping time of the D-component [s]

udiMinToMax: slope limit of controller output for increase: udiMinToMax [s] related to a change from lrMinOut to rMaxOut.

udiMaxToMin: slope limit of controller output for decrease: udiMaxToMin [s] related to a change from lrMaxOut to rMinOut.

uiCycCl: call cycle of the function block as a multiple of the cycle time. A zero entry is automatically interpreted as uiCycleCall =1.
Example: tTaskCycleTime = 20ms, uiCtrlCycleCall =10 -> The control algorithm is called every 200 ms. Thus the outputs are also updated only every 200 ms.
