ExternalGenerating

	Not available via the axis interfaces This core function is not available via the axis interfaces. Direct access by the application is not required.

This core function is used for setpoint generation generated in TwinCAT 3 Plastic Technlogy Functions. It belongs to the group of statically controlled core functions.

Syntax:

FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_ExternalGenerating EXTENDS FB_CorefunctionFeedback

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
InitState	BOOL	Get, Set	The core function is not completely and successfully initialized.
FB_ExternalGenerating
Position	LREAL	Get, Set	Transfer of the set position.
Limiting	LREAL	Get, Set	Transfer of the active limitation value
Velocity	LREAL	Get, Set	Transfer of the target velocity.
TorqueLimiting¹	LREAL	Get, Set	Transfer of the applied torque limit.
FB_CorefunctionFeedback
AbortedState	BOOL	Get, Set	Signals the abort of a command by another Corefunction.
BusyState	BOOL	Get, Set	Signals the active execution of a command.
DoneState	BOOL	Get, Set	Signals the successful execution of a command.
IdleState	BOOL	Get, Set	The Corefunction is ready for operation and commandable.
IsCommanded	BOOL	Get	Signals the pending of a command.
FB_Corefunction
[`INTERN`] AxisState	E_AxisState	Get, Set	The current state of the axis state machine.
[`INTERN`] Connected	BOOL	Get	The Corefunction is connected to an axis.
[`INTERN`] CycleTime	LREAL	Get, Set	The cycle time of the PLC task from which the method `Cyclic()` of the Corefunction is executed.
[`INTERN`] CycleTimeValid	BOOL	Get, Set	A TRUE indicates that the `CycleTime` of the Corefunction is defined.
FailedState	BOOL	Get, Set	If IsActivated is TRUE at the same time: Signals the failure of an accepted command. If IsActivated is FALSE at the same time: Signals the rejection of a command.
HasFeedback	BOOL	Get	The core function has responded to a pending command.
IsActivated	BOOL	Get	The core function has an accepted command pending.
IsLocalCmd	BOOL	Get	Signals that the axis is assigned with a command of this core function.
[`INTERN`] NextCore	I_Corefunction	Get, Set	This property is part of the execution chain and must not be affected by the application task.
[`INTERN`] OnlineChangeMark	BOOL	Get, Set	The axis uses this property to signal an Online Change to the Corefunction.
ReadyState	BOOL	Get, Set	The Corefunction is ready for operation, but is not commandable at this time. Possible reasons are: - The axis is not enabled. - Another Corefunction is active. - The Corefunction does not support any commands.

Methods

Name	Description
[`INTERN`] Cyclic()	This method is called cyclically by the axis.

[`INTERN`] ApplyCommand()	Applies the command to the axis.
[`INTERN`] ClearStates()	Clears up some of the possible states.
[`INTERN`] DoReset(`bExecute`)	This method is called when the axis is reset.
[`INTERN`] RemoveCommand()	Removes the command from the axis.
