FB_ALY_ImpulseFactor

The algorithm Impulse Factor calculates the signal feature of the same name from the input values. The output value is calculated from the ratio of the peak value of the input signal to the mean value of the input signal.

The number of input data to be included in the calculation and the type of calculation can be configured.

Syntax

Definition:

FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_ALY_ImpulseFactor
VAR_OUTPUT
    ipResultMessage: Tc3_EventLogger.I_TcMessage;
    bError: BOOL;
    bNewResult: BOOL;
    bConfigured: BOOL;
END_VAR

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
ipResultMessage	I_TcMessage	Contains more detailed information on the current return value. This special interface pointer is internally secured so that it is always valid/assigned.
bError	BOOL	This output is `TRUE` if an error occurs.
bNewResult	BOOL	When a new result has been calculated, the output is `TRUE.`
bConfigured	BOOL	Displays `TRUE` when the function block is successfully configured.

Methods

Name	Definition location	Description
Call()	Local	Method for calculating the outputs for a specific configuration.
Configure()	Local	General configuration of the algorithm with its parameterized conditions. The configuration is identical for all channels.
FB_init()	Local	Initializes the number of input channels.
Reset()	Local	Resets all internal states or the calculations performed so far.
SetChannelValue()	Local	Method for passing values to the algorithm.
GetChannelOutputValue()	Local	Method for receiving values from different output channels.

Sample

VAR
    fbImpulseFactor : FB_ALY_ImpulseFactor(nNumChannels := 1);
    eWindowMode : E_ALY_WindowMode := E_ALY_WindowMode.FixWindow;
    nWindowSize : UDINT := 100;
    bConfigure : BOOL := TRUE;
    fInput : LREAL;
    fImpulseFactor : LREAL;
END_VAR

// Configure algorithm
IF bConfigure THEN
    bConfigure := FALSE;
    fbImpulseFactor.Configure(eWindowMode, nWindowSize);
END_IF

// Call algorithm
fbImpulseFactor.SetChannelValue(1, fInput);
fbImpulseFactor.Call();
fbImpulseFactor.GetChannelOutputValue(1, fImpulseFactor);
