Level detector
The level detector compares
AI_VALUE
to the
Start value setting. The Operation
mode setting defines the direction of the level detector.
Table 730:
Operation mode types
Operation Mode
Description
"Under"
If the input signal
AI_VALUE
is lower than
the set value of the "Start value" setting, the
level detector enables the timer module.
"Over"
If the input signal
AI_VALUE
exceeds the
set value of the
Start value
setting, the level
detector enables the timer module.
The
Absolute hysteresis setting can be used for preventing unnecessary oscillations
if the input signal is slightly above or below the
Start value setting. After leaving the
hysteresis area, the start condition has to be fulfilled again and it is not sufficient
for the signal to only return to the hysteresis area. If the
ENA_ADD
input is activated,
the threshold value of the internal comparator is the sum of the
Start value Add
and
Start value settings. The resulting threshold value for the comparator can be
increased or decreased depending on the sign and value of the
Start value Add
setting.
Timer
Once activated, the timer activates the
START
output. The time characteristic is
according to DT. When the operation timer has reached the value set by
Operate
delay time, the
OPERATE
output is activated. If the starting condition disappears
before the module operates, the reset timer is activated. If the reset timer reaches
the value set by
Reset delay time, the operation timer resets and the
START
output
is deactivated.
The timer calculates the start duration value START_DUR, which indicates the
percentage ratio of the start situation and the set operation time. The value is
available in the monitored data view.
