Once excluded block
The branch-once-excluded block is ignored the first time the trigger model encounters it. After the first
encounter, the trigger model goes to the specified branching block.
The branch-once-excluded block is reset when the trigger model starts or is placed in idle.
When you select the once excluded block, the following option is available.
Setting
Description
Branch to Block
The block number to execute after the first time the trigger model
reaches the once excluded block.
Delta block
The branch on delta block defines a trigger model block that goes to a specified block if the difference
of two measurements meets preset criteria.
This block calculates the difference between the last two measurements from a measure or digitize
block. It subtracts the most recent measurement from the previous measurement.
The difference between the measurements is compared to the target difference. If the difference is
less than the target difference, the trigger model goes to the specified branching block. If the
difference is more than the target difference, the trigger model proceeds to the next block in the
trigger block sequence.
If you do not define the measure or digitize block, it will compare measurements of a measure or
digitize block that precedes the branch delta block. For example, if you have a measure block, a wait
block, another measure block, another wait block, and then the branch delta block, the delta block
compares the measurements from the second measure block. If a preceding measure or digitize
block does not exist, an error occurs.
When you select the Delta block, the following options are available.
Setting
Description
Target Delta
The value against which the block compares the difference
between the measurements
Branch to Block
The block number of the trigger model block to execute when the
difference between the measurements is less than or equal to the
Target Delta
Measure Block
The block number of the measure or digitize block that makes the
measurements to be compared; if this is
0
or undefined, the trigger
model uses the previous measure or digitize block
