ActualsHydraulics

ActualsHydraulics 1:

Exclusive function for hydraulic axes

This core function is only available for hydraulic axis types.

ActualsHydraulics 2:

This core function is used to display a compilation of actual values of the axis. It is an extension of Actuals and extends the range of its parent element by adding specific values for hydraulic axes.

Like all derivatives of Actuals, this core function belongs to the group of permanently active core functions.

Syntax:

FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_HydraulicActuals EXTENDS FB_MotionActuals

Name

Type

Access

Description

Acceleration

LREAL

Get

The current actual acceleration.

OilPressureA

LREAL

Get

The current actual pressure on the A-side of the cylinder.

OilPressureB

LREAL

Get

The current actual pressure on the B-side of the cylinder.

ValveFeedback

LREAL

Get

The current feedback value (slider actual position) of the valve.

ValveOutput

LREAL

Get

The current output value (slider set position) for the valve.

DynamicsExceeded

BOOL

Get, Set

TRUE if the dynamic limits of the axis were exceeded during a currently active camming.

This signal is only deleted when camming is stopped.

Jerk

LREAL

Get

The current actual jerk.

Position

LREAL

Get

The current actual position.

ProcessValue

LREAL

Get, Set

The current actual process value.

RawAxisPosition

LREAL

Get

The unconverted current actual position.

SetEvent

BOOL

Get, Set

Reserved.

Velocity

LREAL

Get

The current actual velocity.

ActualsHydraulics 4:

The terms A and B

The terms A and B are used in the definition of the hydraulics library, i.e. the side of the cylinder that makes the axis move in positive direction is regarded as the A side.

ActualsHydraulics 5:

Sometimes no feedback

Not all types of proportional valves support this kind of feedback.
