When configuring the lower
clock generator
function block, it is only necessary to set the
clock period. The resulting clock period depends on the CPU cycle time. If changes in
the safety-related application software affect the CPU cycle time, the settings for this
function block must be adjusted accordingly.
The resulting clock period defines the increments at which the minimum and maximum
duration of the muting function can be set and is therefore important for calculating
and configuring these times.
In the calculation formulas for the following two networks, the cycle time of this
Clock
generator
function block is referred to as T
clock period
. We recommend setting the cycle
time to around 100 ms.
“Min time monitoring” network
Figure 7: “Min time monitoring” network
This network includes four
Event Counter (up)
function blocks that must be configured. Up
to four different timings for the different conveyor speeds or different material sizes can
be configured.
Each of the four
Event Counter (up)
function blocks corresponds to one of the timings that
can be selected using the Timing Set Selection function. The uppermost
Event Counter
(up)
function block defines Timing 1, while the lowest, in accordance with the ascending
order, defines Timing 4.
