FB_BA_Actuator_3Point

FB_BA_Actuator_3Point 1:

The function block FB_BA_Actuator_3Point is used to control a 3-point actuator, e.g. a 3-point damper or a 3-point valve.

The command for opening the actuator is connected to output bOpen.

The command for closing the actuator is connected to output bClose.

In automatic mode (nOpMode = 0) the control commands of bCmdOpen and bCmdClose are forwarded directly to the outputs bOpen and bClose.

The nOpMode input is used to determine the operation mode of the 3-point actuator:
