FB_MBUS_SBC_ALE3
This function block is used to read electricity meters from Saia-Burgess:
-ALE3
-AWD3
The function block can only be executed together with the function block FB_MBUSKL6781().
Functionality of the function block
VAR_INPUT
usiAddress : USINT;
stSecAdr : ST_MBUS_SecAdr;
eBaudrate : E_MBUS_Baudrate := eMBUS_Baud2400;
bStart : BOOL;
bSND_NKE : BOOL := TRUE;
bReadInit : BOOL := TRUE;
tMinSendTime : TIME := t#2s;
usiUnit : USINT;
bDisabled : BOOL := FALSE;
usiAddress: Primary address of the counter, that shall be readout with this module.
stSecAdr: Secondary address of the counter, that shall be readout with this module.
eBaudrate: 300, 2400, 9600 baud.
bStart: Positive edge on this input, the meter is read out once.
bSND_NKE: TRUE to initialize the meter at each reading, and sets the meter on the first telegram (SND_NKE).
bReadInit: After restarting the PLC, the meter is read out once.
tMinSendTime: Standard t#2s. When this time exceeds, the counter is rereadout. At t#0s the counter is not readout and can be readout with bStart manually.
usiUnit: Unit of the energy values. 0=W/J(h) / 1=KW/KJ(h) / 2=MW/MJ(h) / 3=GW/GJ(h).
bDisabled: TRUE = disable the function block.
