FB_HVACMotor3Speed

FB_HVACMotor3Speed 1:

Application

This function block serves to control a three-speed drive in HVAC systems. The function block always runs in step 1, the lowest power step, and switches to step 2 or step 3 depending on requirements. It cannot be switched on directly in step 2 or 3. In the event of a restart, disablement, an error or switching off of the motor via the operation mode, restart of the motor is blocked for the duration of tDelaySpeed2ToSpeed1 + tDelaySpeed3ToSpeed2.

eDataSecurityType:if eDataSecurityType:= eHVACDataSecurityType_Persistent, the persistent VAR_IN_OUT variables of the function block are stored in the flash of the computer if a value changes. For this to work, the function block FB_HVACPersistentDataHandling must be instanced once in the main program, which is called cyclically. Otherwise the instanced FB is not released internally.

A change of value can be initiated by the building management system, a local operating device or via a write access from TwinCAT. When the computer is restarted, the saved data are automatically read back from the flash into the RAM.

Application example: FB_HVACMotor3Speed 2:Example_PERSISTENT.zip

If eDataSecurityType:= eHVACDataSecurityType_Idle the persistently declared variables are not saved in a fail-safe manner.

Notice

A cyclically changing variable must never be linked with the IN_OUT variable of a function block, if eDataSecurityType:= eHVACDataSecurityType_Persistent. It would lead to early wear of the flash memory.

bSetDefault: If the variable is TRUE, the default values of the VAR_IN_OUT variables are adopted.

bEnable: the function block is enabled if bEnable = TRUE. If bEnable = FALSE, the drive is switched off with a delay specified in the time variable tStopDelay at the respective switch-on stage.
If an enable is present, a restart of the motor is blocked for the duration of tDelaySpeed2ToSpeed1 + tDelaySpeed3ToSpeed2.

bAutoSpeed1: bAutoSpeed1 is only active if the operation mode eCtrlModeActuator is either eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_BMS or eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_OP.
 If the input variables bAutoSpeed1 = TRUE, bAutoSpeed2 = FALSE and bAutoSpeed3 = FALSE, then the function block is instructed that the drive should run at speed 1.
If bAutoSpeed1 = FALSE, the drive will be switched off with a delay specified in the time variable tStopDelay.

bAutoSpeed2: bAutoSpeed2 is only active if the operation mode eCtrlModeActuator is either eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_BMS or eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_OP.
If the input variables bAutoSpeed1 = TRUE, bAutoSpeed2 = TRUE and bAutoSpeed3 = FALSE, then the function block is instructed that the drive should run at speed 2.
If bAutoSpeed1 and bAutoSpeed2 = FALSE, the drive will be switched off with a delay specified in the time variable tStopDelay.

bAutoSpeed3: bAutoSpeed3 is only active if the operation mode eCtrlModeActuator is either eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_BMS or eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_OP.
If the input variables bAutoSpeed1 = TRUE, bAutoSpeed2 = TRUE and bAutoSpeed3 = TRUE, then the function block is instructed that the drive should run at speed 3.
If bAutoSpeed1, bAutoSpeed2 and bAutoSpeed3 = FALSE, the drive will be switched off with a delay specified in the time variable tStopDelay.

eCtrlModeActuator: Enum that specifies the operation mode of the motor. In the event of an incorrect entry, operation continues internally with the last valid operating mode. This is eHVACActuatorMode_Auto_BMS in the case of initial commissioning. bInvalidParameter will be set in the event of an incorrect parameter entry.

bMotorProtecSpeed1: input for motor protection speed 1. There is a motor protection fault if the input bMotorProtecSpeed1 is FALSE (quiescent current principle). In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE; the fault is indicated at the output of the function block by bErrorMotorprotecSpeed1. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset.

bMotorProtecSpeed2: input for motor protection speed 2. There is a motor protection fault if the input bMotorProtecSpeed2 is FALSE (quiescent current principle). In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE; the fault is indicated at the output of the function block by bErrorMotorprotecSpeed2. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset.

bMotorProtecSpeed3: input for motor protection speed 3. There is a motor protection fault if the input bMotorProtecSpeed3 is FALSE (quiescent current principle). In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE; the fault is indicated at the output of the function block by bErrorMotorprotecSpeed3. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset.

bFeedbContactorSpeed1: feedback from the power section of the motor for speed 1. The operating feedback is present if the input bFeedbContactorSpeed1 = TRUE. If, after switching on the motor, this feedback is not present after the time delay set by tDelayFeedbContactorSpeed1, the output bErrorFeedbContactorSpeed1 is set in order to indicate a fault. In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset. If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present for speed 1, the output variable bMotorSpeed1 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed1.

FB_HVACMotor3Speed 3:

If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present, the output variable bMotorSpeed1 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed1. See application example

bFeedbContactorSpeed2: feedback from the power section of the motor for speed 2. The operating feedback is present if the input bFeedbContactorSpeed2 = TRUE. If, after switching on the motor, this feedback is not present after the time delay set by tDelayFeedbContactorSpeed2, the output bErrorFeedbContactorSpeed2 is set in order to indicate a fault. In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset. If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present for speed 2, the output variable bMotorSpeed2 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed2.

FB_HVACMotor3Speed 4:

If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present, the output variable bMotorSpeed2 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed2. See application example

bFeedbContactorSpeed3: feedback from the power section of the motor for speed 3. The operating feedback is present if the input bFeedbContactorSpeed3 = TRUE. If, after switching on the motor, this feedback is not present after the time delay set by tDelayFeedbContactorSpeed3, the output bErrorFeedbContactorSpeed3 is set in order to indicate a fault. In the event of a fault, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset. If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present for speed 3, the output variable bMotorSpeed3 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed3.

FB_HVACMotor3Speed 5:

If no feedback from the power section of the motor is present, the output variable bMotorSpeed3 must be applied to the input bFeedbContactorSpeed3. See application example

bFeedbProcess: a process feedback signal, for example from a v-belt monitor or a flow monitor can be connected to the input bFeedbProcess. The process feedback is present if the input bFeedbProcess = TRUE (quiescent current principle). If, in the start-up phase after switching on the motor, the process feedback is not present after the time set by tFeedbProcessTimer, the drive switches off and indicates a fault at the output bErrorFeedbProcess. The motor can only be restarted if the fault has been rectified and acknowledged at the input bReset. In order to avoid undesired switching off of the drive during operation due to the process monitoring bFeedbProcess, e.g. in the event of short-term pressure fluctuations, the triggering of the input bFeedbProcess can be delayed by the time tDelayFeedbProcess.
The process feedback is active if either bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 or bMotorSpeed3 = TRUE.

bRepairSwitch: the state of the repair switch is monitored with the input bRepairSwitch. The motor can only be switched on if bRepairSwitch = TRUE (quiescent current principle). If the repair switch is switched off, bRepairSwitch = FALSE, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. If the state of the repair switch is TRUE, a restart of the motor is blocked for the duration of tDelaySpeed2ToSpeed1 + tDelaySpeed3ToSpeed2.

bManSwitch: the state of the manual/emergency switch is monitored with the input bManSwitch. The motor can only be switched on if bManSwitch = TRUE (quiescent current principle). If the manual/emergency switch is switched off, bManSwitch= FALSE, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. If the state of the manual/emergency switch is TRUE, a restart of the motor is blocked for the duration of tDelaySpeed2ToSpeed1 + tDelaySpeed3ToSpeed2.

bCtrlVoltage: the control voltage is monitored with the input bCtrlVoltage. The motor can only be switched on if bCtrlVoltage = TRUE (quiescent current principle). If the control voltage is switched off, bCtrlVoltage= FALSE, the outputs bMotorSpeed1, bMotorSpeed2 and bMotorSpeed3 are all FALSE. In order to avoid a torrent of error messages if the control voltage fails, the error messages of the function block are suppressed. If the control voltage is restored, the error messages are enabled again. If control voltage is present, a restart of the motor is blocked for the duration of tDelaySpeed2ToSpeed1 + tDelaySpeed3ToSpeed2 .

bReset: input for acknowledgement of faults via a rising edge.
