FB_PMA_Spectrum_3Ph

The function block FB_PMA_Spectrum_3Ph calculates the magnitude spectra of the current and voltage values. These are suitable for analyzing the input signals in the frequency range.

The input buffer is provided via the function block FB_PMA_Source_3Ph. The size of the input buffer is half the window length.

By way of example, possible FFT and window lengths are shown in the following table:

Memory properties

Since the Welch method is used, in each case the current input buffer together with the last transferred buffer is used for the calculation.

The frequency analysis takes step changes in the time series into account. In order to achieve a correct result, the last two input buffers should therefore be consecutive without step changes.

FB_PMA_Spectrum_3Ph 1: Inputs

The input parameters of this function block represent initialization parameters and must be assigned when declaring the function block instance (alternative: Init method). They may only be assigned once. A change at runtime is not possible.

Name

Type

Description

nOwnID

UDINT

Identifies the function block instance with a unique ID. This must always be greater than zero. A proven approach is to define an enumeration for this purpose.

tTransferTimeout

LTIME

Setting of the synchronous timeout for internal multi-array forwardings. See Parallel Processing in Transfer Tray.

stInitPars

ST_PMA_Spectrum_InitPars

Function-block-specific structure with initialization parameters. The parameters must match the definition of the input and output buffers.

FB_PMA_Spectrum_3Ph 2: Outputs

Name

Type

Description

bError

BOOL

TRUE if an error occurs.

ipResultMessage

I_TcMessage

The interface offers detailed information about the return value.

bNewResult

BOOL

TRUE once new results have been calculated.

nCntResults

ULINT

Count value is incremented with new output data.

FB_PMA_Spectrum_3Ph 3: Methods

Name

Description

Call

The method is called in each cycle to execute the calculations from the input buffer when new data is present.

Init

Alternative to the function block initialization

PassInputs

As an alternative to the Call method, the method can be called in each cycle if no calculation is to take place. The incoming input buffer is then forwarded accordingly.

Reset

This method deletes all the data sets already added.
