FB_CTRL_SIGNAL_GENERATOR
The function block provides a signal generator offering triangular, sine and sawtooth signal forms.
Output signals

Inputs
VAR_INPUT
fManValue : FLOAT;
eMode : E_CTRL_MODE;
END_VARName | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
fManValue | FLOAT | Input whose value is present at the output in manual mode. |
eMode | E_CTRL_MODE | Input that specifies the operation mode of the function block. |
Outputs
VAR_OUTPUT
fOut : FLOAT;
eState : E_CTRL_STATE;
eErrorId : E_CTRL_ERRORCODES;
bError : BOOL;
END_VARName | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
fOut | FLOAT | Output of the signal generator |
eState | E_CTRL_STATE | State of the function block |
eErrorId | E_CTRL_ERRORCODES | Supplies the error number when the output |
bError | BOOL | Becomes TRUE, as soon as an error occurs. |

VAR_IN_OUT
stParams : ST_CTRL_SIGNAL_GENERATOR_PARAMS;
END_VARName | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
stParams | ST_CTRL_SIGNAL_ | Parameter structure of the function block |
stParams consists of the following elements:
TYPE ST_CTRL_SIGNAL_GENERATOR_PARAMS:
STRUCT
tCtrlCycleTime : TIME := T#0ms;
tTaskCycleTime : TIME := T#0ms;
eSignalType : E_CTRL_SIGNAL_TYPE;
tCylceDuration : TIME;
fAmplitude : FLOAT;
fOffset : FLOAT := 0.0;
tStart : TIME := T#0s;
END_STRUCT
END_TYPEName | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
tCtrlCycleTime | TIME | Cycle time with which the control loop is processed. This must be greater than or equal to the TaskCycleTime. The function block uses this input value to calculate internally whether the state and the output values have to be updated in the current cycle. |
tTaskCycleTime | TIME | Cycle time with which the function block is called. If the function block is called in every cycle this corresponds to the task cycle time of the calling task. |
eSignalType | E_CTRL_ | Selection of the type of signal. TYPE E_CTRL_SIGNAL_TYPE : |
tCylceDuration | TIME | Period of the generated signal curve |
fAmplitude | FLOAT | Amplitude of the generated signal curve |
fOffset | FLOAT | Offset to be added to the signal curve |
tStart | TIME | The moment of time within a period at which following the signal curve will begin when switching into eCTRL_MODE_ACTIVE occurs. |
