FB_PMLAdminTime

The FB_PMLAdminTime function block should be called cyclically to fill the following Admin-PackTags:

• PlcDateTime
• ModeTimeCurrent
• StateTimeCurrent
• CumulativeTimes[ ].AccTimeSinceReset
• CumulativeTimes[ ].ModeStateTimes[ ].Mode
• CumulativeTimes[ ].ModeStateTimes[ ].State[ ]

The length of time for which the machine was in the different states is thus recorded. In the further process, this allows conclusions to be drawn about the machine efficiency. To ensure that the times are calculated correctly, it is a prerequisite that the UnitCurrent and StateCurrent Status-PackTags have already been written coherently.

The individual timers can be reset using the M_ResetCumulativeTime method.

VAR_INPUT
    stOptions        : ST_AdminTimeOptions;
END_VAR

VAR_IN_OUT
    stAdmin          : ST_PMLa;
    stStatus         : ST_PMLs;
END_VAR

M_ResetCumulativeTime

The M_ResetCumulativeTime method resets the Admin.CumulativeTimes[CumulativeTimesIdx] entry.

Syntax

METHOD M_ResetCumulativeTime : BOOL
VAR_INPUT
  CumulativeTimesIdx : UDINT;
END_VAR

Example call:

  fbAdminTime.M_ResetCumulativeTime(CumulativeTimesIdx := 1);
