11.9.5 Application - Gate
The application allows specific signals to be filtered and the signal flow to be temporarily
blocked.
The following communication objects are available:
■
"GFx: input“
■
"GFx: output"
■
"GFx: control input" (1-bit object)
The objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can take on different sizes (1 bit - 4 byte, depending
on the object type selected).
The bit sizes of objects "GFx: input" and "GFx: output" can be collectively adjusted for the
different applications.
The bit size can be freely assigned with the "Not assigned" setting of the "Object type"
parameter. This means that the first internal or external group address or action that is assigned
and already connected to an other communication object will specify the size.
The control can occur from "Input to output" or also from "Output to input," provided the control
input allows this. Enabling via the control input can take place via an On telegram or an Off
telegram.
If, for example, the "Control input" setting is set on "ON telegram," only telegrams from the input
are transmitted to the output. The condition is that the control input has received an On
telegram.
It is also possible to block signals via the "Filter function" setting. Either "nothing is filtered out"
or the signal "on is filtered out" or the signal "off is filtered out". This function is always
necessary, for example, when only the On telegram is needed for a sensor and the device does
not offer any filter function in its application program.
Note
The parameters for application "Gate" can be called up via
general parameters
and
extended parameters
.
Note
The number of the object (GF1 - GFx) depends on the channel used.
11.9.5.1
Channel name
Entry:
<Name>
The parameter can be used to name the selected channel. The preset name "Channel" can be
replaced with any arbitrary name. The length of the name is limited to 30 characters.
